4 days trek to Poon Hill

We did the 4 day Poon Hill trek with Alpine Eco Trek. Our trip was extremely well organized from start to finish. Mr. Ram took the time to visit us at our hotel the day before the trip began to brief us. The trip was fantastic and our guide and porters were excellent and very, friendly, flexible and allowed us to amend the trip as we went. We are more than happy to recommend this trek for everyone and Alpine Eco did a great job.
