Air carrier Captain reported receiving a EGPWS terrain warning as the crew made a visual approach in mountainous terrain. The winds were strong and blowing the aircraft towards the hills. The Captain had not flown the approach for more than a year while in training. The Captain believes more training and recency is needed before entry into this airport is permitted.

Narrative

On arrival into the airport we shot the instrument approach to the opposing runway per the briefing guide. Upon visual contact of the airport and surrounding terrain we called center and requested a visual approach to the opposite runway due to the straight in approach exceeding the max tailwind limit. We began our visual approach as outlined in the briefing guide. On our base turn around the mountain; with strong winds pushing us away from the airport; we were following the contour of the terrain and received a EGPWS terrain warning. The entire approach was conducted in VMC well above the minimums for this maneuver. Upon receiving the warning I slowed the decent rate of the aircraft and the warning stopped. The aircraft was never in an unsafe position to land or in danger of hitting any of the surrounding terrain. The runway was insight when we received the EGPWS warning. We continued to line up on final for the runway and were on the PAPI.The first factor in this event is a lack of recency of experience. I had been checked out by a check airman for this airport over a year prior to this flight. This was also my first flight back without a check airman. Most approaches here end up being straight in with the ILS but the winds that day did not allow for that and we had to shoot the 'visual' approach to the opposite runway. The second cause of this event was my inexperience in this maneuver and the strong south west winds leading to us go past the 9 DME arc.This event could have been avoided by a better description of what is expected on the briefing guide. If there was a video link showing this approach or a google earth type picture that detailed what we were expecting to see that would have been helpful. This 'visual' approach to Runway XX is unlike any other type of flying that is done outside of the program. I understand that there is no way to have multiple checkouts for this airport but there should be a recency of flight expectation before a Captain is sent to ZZZ. With very little 700 flying for junior line holders and no ZZZ flying besides the initial checkout makes this maneuver even more challenging. My last suggestion is for any Captain checked out for ZZZ if there is anytime left over during a sim session a quick review of this procedure would be extremely valuable.
