Ep 194 - Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek in Nepal

Johnny FD is once again on his trekking journey for the 2nd time. He climbed the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, a 4-5 day hike in the Annapurna mountain of Nepal. It has a maximum altitude of 3,210 meters so altitude sickness is not so much of a risk, unlike the earlier hike in the Annapurna Circuit. However, it did not come short of the breathtaking view that the Himalayas has to offer.
 
On this episode, Johnny highlights his amazing experience including the people he met along the way. He also reveals the risks that the freezing temperature might do to your body. The fun, the challenges, the views, and the struggles are all accounted for. He interviews different trekkers from all around the world who came to witness the beauty of Nepal. Each one of them shares their amazing escapade through the Ghorepani Poon Hill that will surely bring out the adventurer in you.
