Had a great Ghorepani poon hill Treking, although 5 days was too short!!! Will definitely came back and next times brave the Annapurna circuit. I would like to especially thank our brilliant guide, Sapkota & Outshine Adventure, without whom the trek would not have been the same. I would especially request his services on our return.
