Comment: If you want, it’s possible to go to Poon Hill for sunrise and still manage to go to Hille on this day. Since after Ghorepani it’s all downhill to Hille. I met a few travelers who did this (of course because they are more fit). I was pretty wasted after 12km. I just wanted to sleep and my feet swelled (because of the stairs).

Hi there,
I am planning to do the Poon Hill trek next month and I wondered which direction you think would be easier in terms of going down hill? I have bad knees and find going down worse on my knees.
Thanks,
If you are concerned, then you should do it clockwise! It’d be better to climb up those stairs!
