Poonhill trek with Alpine club by Marco L

10-Apr-2021

I booked with Alpine via bookatrekking.com and had a good experience with them. We (friend and I) started the Trek rightaway the day after landing in the evening in KTM. What was really advisable for others by booking a guide is that our guide takes the hassle away about reservating the teahouses uphill. We encountered some hikers who`d had some trouble`s for getting a spot in a teahouse (even with guide). We had a private room in each village w ex at abc (shared.) We had a experienced guide who`d know the area very well and could enlighten us about all of the details. We had a good hike! During and afterwards Alpine did take good care about suggesting other activities after the trek. These are experiences to remember. When going back to nepal/himalaya I will book with Alpine agian.
