We, a group of 4, are going to Nepal in mid March for 13 days. Our plan is to do a 4D/3N trekking trip (Poon Hill) and spend 3D/2N in Chitwan. The rest of the time will be spent in Kathmandu with a night to Nargarkot. Any recommendation on good and reliable trekking guide/agent in Kathmandu or Pohkara? What is a reasonable daily cost for teahouse trekking with guide and porter included. We would like to do a "not too difficult" route but with nice view of the Annapurna Region, any other recommendation apart from Poon Hill?
Look forward to replies!!

I used a private (non-agency) guide when I was there who was wonderful!You can contact him via email at hiranmagar@hotmail.com He is very responsible and I have recommended him to many people.
You can also read about him on my website at http://www.wired2theworld.com
Go to the RTW journal and click on the Nepal pages.
the poon hill trek is not too difficult, it is at the end of the annapurna circit and you may see some very weary faces finishing off that trek. I cant estimate your fitness level but if you are comfortable carrying your pack then do it yourself. A guide is not necessary as the trail is exceptionally marked. Have fun
