The local tour operator provided a very good, friendly and sensible guide to accompany me as a solo traveller going to poon hill circuit. The office was very organised, confirming a price quote quickly so that I could make arrangements. I'd recommend this trek, preferably out of the busiest season. I'm sure this company would make a very good tailor made tour for individual needs at any time of year.

The varied landscapes host a rich diversity of flora and fauna, with each season offering its own unique tapestry. Along the way, you’ll encounter welcoming Gurung communities, terraced farmlands, and the gentle rhythms of rural life—an intimate window into Nepalese tradition and culture.
