Poonhill Trekking

70+ Poonhill Trek Challenge Our Easy Middle‑Age Hike Together

The last time I visited Poonhill was in October 2023. After a few years, coming back this March, I was greeted with a completely different scenery—it’s the season of blooming rhododendrons. Walking into the forest or across the mountain ridges, I felt as if I had stepped into a sea of flowers. Bright red, purple-red, and pink blossoms mesmerized me with their beauty. How lush and breathtaking it all is! Additionally, on this trip, I accompanied two ladies in their seventies. Everyone was concerned about physical fitness, experience, and safety. Thankfully, we made a wise decision to once again invite Mission Himalaya's guide, Birendra Duwadi, to lead us. He, along with the porter, took great care of our group of ladies in their sixties and seventies. For those with weaker physical strength, he arranged horses at the right moment. Notably, during the climb to Poonhill (3210m), when horses were not an option, Birendra and the assistant guide personally held their hands the entire way, offering encouragement. In the end, they successfully reached the summit. For friends experiencing trekking for the first time, something that initially seemed “completely out of reach” eventually became a reality. Finally, Birendra's team is so professional and compassionate. With their assistance, you are sure to succeed—“age is not a problem”! Lastly, compared to a few years ago, the teahouse facilities have improved significantly. Many rooms now come equipped with charging stations, bathrooms, and washing facilities, making the stay very comfortable. Coupled with the stunning snow-capped mountains, scenic ridges, and delicious traditional food, it truly is a perfect journey!

3-Day Ghandruk Loop Trek from Pokhara

Silent Paths, Clear Sunrises, and a Remarkable Guide

I booked the Ghandruk 3‑day loop on a whim, and it turned into one of the most peaceful and rewarding treks I’ve ever done — thanks mostly to my guide, Milan. From the first steps he understood exactly how I wanted to walk: mostly in silence, with space to absorb the forests and villages at my own pace. Every so often he’d quietly point out a plant, or a view, or an animal along the trail, adding meaning without breaking the calm. He set a perfect pace too — steady enough to feel like I was working, but never pushing me into fatigue. He kept track of distances, reminded me to take water, and made sure I didn’t miss sunrise windows or special viewpoints. The trek itself is ideal for intermediate fitness and last‑minute plans. I was lucky with the weather: cool, cloudy walking days, rain in the evenings, and crystal‑clear mornings. The sunrise in Ghandruk was unforgettable — we’d arrived in thick cloud and rain, so waking up to suddenly revealed mountains felt like a gift. Deurali was another highlight, as was the quiet forest descent through Dhampus. Very few people were on the first half of the trail, and the stillness made everything feel more intimate. I was grateful for the all‑inclusive package; I never had to think about meals or cash. I’d simply pack a little differently next time with a bit more detail about what the package includes. Overall, the trek left me wanting more — and I’d gladly walk with Milan again. His humility, attentiveness, and gentle way of guiding made the journey feel effortless and deeply memorable.
