Amazing Trek - 5 Days Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

My partner and I did the Poonhill 5 day trek and had a great time. So well organised with no problems. Everything was very easy. Our guide Amar was like our best friend and never left our side. Saying good by to him at the end in Kathmandu was like loosing a brother.

Raj the Buisness owner took us all out for diner at the end and was very interested in feedback regarding making the trek as best as it could be. They really showed a large amount of care for our group and wanted us to have the best possible experience.

Thanks to our great porters also for lugging our bags through the mountains and back. Great company to deal with!

Short Poon Hill Trek

I underwent the short Poon hill trek with outfitter Nepal. For the tour I stayed at tikatunga, ghorapani and ghandruk. All 3 towns were amazing and unique in their own way. This trek was a picturesque hike with the towns and people having lots of character, a great experience. Poon Hill itself is an amazing thing of beauty that words cannot describe.

My tour guide Pralad Dharelwas excellent, I cannot stress enough how attentive he was to my wellbeing, his English was very good we enjoyed lots of fun conversations while trekking and Pralad has a good amount of knowledge of the Annapurna region. Trekking with Pralad Dharel was a great mix between professionalism and going for a trek with a friend.

Would highly recommend this trek, company And guide to anyone.
