Poon Hill Trek 4 days

Raaz, was\is an absolute professional guide. He took very good care of me the entire trek. On the third day I developed a problem with my leg where going downhill had become very hazardous. It would just give out on me. Raaz stepped in and carried my pack for at least six hours and was encouraging the whole time. First time I ever used trekking poles but I will never go without again.

The Poon Hill Trek is listed as moderate but I found it very difficult (61 years old and live at sea level – there is a lot more air at sea level). You are either going uphill or down and the grade is quite steep. There are virtually no flat areas to give your legs a break. The scenery is spectacular and the mountains are phenomenal. If you are up for a pretty hardcore trek, go for it!
