Our Experience on this Short Poon Hill Trek
We began offering the Short Poon Hill Trek since 2000. Early that year, many tourists still didn't know about the road and transportation updates, as many travel websites weren't caught up. So, at first, we felt hesitant to promote this Jeep option, and it felt like a less adventurous trek, and it compromised a real trekking spirit.
When our experienced guides led trekkers in the original route, it became clear that walking alongside the passing jeep gave a disruptive feel for true hikers. That was when we realized this trek was not ideal for those chasing remote adventure but it is for people who are seeking short, scenic, and non-strenuous Mountain experiences.
Since then, we have organized many trips to Poon Hill with this itinerary, and trekkers with just 2-3 days have truly enjoyed this. This trek is perfect for families, couples, and travelers who are searching of panoramic Himalayan views and authentic village life without hard elevation gains .The feedback has been fantastic, everyone appreciates the flexibility, comfort, and ease of access this trek now offers.
