Three nights and four days on the Poon Hill Trek

We were four in number. I am with my boyfriend and my parents, who are over 70 years of age. DB Basnet was our excellent guide and Suman and Kshitiz were our excellent porters. Do not be fooled by the fact that the trek is one of the easier ones for the region. It is a challenging trek, but if you take it slow you will be fine. I am sure my parents would tell you that it was a very difficult time for them. Although DB was incredible, he was always available for encouragement, guidance, and assistance. My father never left my parents no matter what their pace was, and he had a wonderful attitude toward them. Overall, the service was excellent porters and guides served all meals and the wait staff bring you coffee in the morning and recommend the best dish for the night. During our first night in Ulleri, we had a hot shower, a place to charge things, and an outdoor space. In Ghorepani, we had a hot shower and a charging station. As a result of the cold weather, you spend most of your free time inside by the fire or walking around the village. On our last night in Tadapani, we had a rustic shower with a charging station. Overall, the accommodations were awesome. It was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The stairs up to Ghorepani were amazing. It was a challenge for sure, but to imagine that someone made all of those stairs is unimaginable. Himal, the person I spoke with to make all of these arrangements, was also fantastic! He responded quickly
