Thanks for the shoutout Bhaskar! My group and I had a great time on the Poon Hill trek in March 2020. Bhaskar is an experienced guide and shared invaluable trekking tips. He also handled all aspects of the trip professionally. We were put up in cosy teahouses and had good food (especially yummy Dal Bhat), everywhere we went! Bhaskar is a friendly, knowledgeable and fun guide. He and his team went the extra mile to share with us the beautiful culture of Nepal, with impromptu singing and dancing sessions thrown in too!!
