Pony Trekking in Nepal
Pony Trekking provide a fascinating way to experience the mountains of Nepal. For those who can’t take the strain of daily hiking and those who want respite on long trekking , there are ponies to ease that burden.
Pony treks are becoming increasingly popular. The landscape ranging from the plains of the valley to the gently undulating hills around and the mountains beyond can take you through some of the most diverse terrain that you can see in a few days on horseback.
Ponies can be hired by the hour or for longer at one of several agencies in Pokhara. Some agencies and hotels keep a stable of ponies while others can requisition one at short notice. Trekking agents can alternatively plan either a full-length pony trek or short treks, depending on where you want to go and how long you want to be on the saddle.
