HEALTH & EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
This trek can be doing even not having any hiking experiences. However, it is easy and soft grade trekking so. There are no any special physical or training requirements, but high altitude experience & walking is a benefit.
I came to Nepal with four friends in December 2024. I wanted to go trekking but didn’t have much time, so I went to Gopal of Higher Limits Trek .
This time, I went to Ghorepani Poon Hill Short Trek from Pokhara in 2 days and 1 night.
Gopal was my guide, so I felt very safe. There were some difficult times along the way, but Gopal encouraged me and cared about my health, so I was able to climb through.
At Poon Hill, we could see some amazing mountains views with Sunrise. I’m very happy with it.
Thank you so much, Gopal. Next time I trek, I’d like to ask Higher Limits Trek again.
Namaste!
