Poonhill trek Tours in November 2026

I did the Annapurna Dhaulagiri in Comfort. The scenery was amazing, and we were fortunate to have clear skies every day. Each day there was a slight change in scenery and aspect as we left the stunning rhododendron forests to ascend above the tree line. The trail was challenging at times but achievable…. Make sure you do aerobic fitness prior to going! The trail was on narrow pathways between villages and not too many other groups to contend with. Our guide Beekay was fabulous. She was always there checking on us with a smile and good natured. The food cooked fresh and daily by the chef and kitchen crew was healthy, varied and delicious. The campsites were most comfortable and I preferred to stay in them. Most lodges were okay… I would highly recommend everyone to trek in Nepal with World Expeditions. They have everything covered from safe drinking water, hand washing facilities, hygiene and health. Our crew was fabulous and nothing a problem.

This was a very well organised trip from start to finish. The hotel in Kathmandu was located in a good area for sightseeing on food. The staff / team who took care of us were outstanding in their attention to detail, kindness and knowledge. True professionals. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather which made for fantastic days hiking in the mountains. The fauna and flora as well as the people we met along the way were true highlights.

If you have limited time for trekking, then this is the best trek to book. You can also consider flying to Pokhara if you want to spend more time roaming around Pokhara. The trail is very tourist friendly, appropriate for all ages who wants to trek. Very nice weather and has clearing in the summit during month of october to november.Hope to be back next year!

The trek proper was fantastic - I was paired with a great female guide and porter who made me feel safe at every step. It was an incredible itinerary as well, being able to see Poon Hill, Ghandruk and the Jhinu Hot Springs. I highly recommend this company and won't be travelling with anyone else when I return.

We never hiked before, so we selected this one and it's a good introduction. A few hard parts (going up to Ulleri 400m on day one, all steps; combining poon hill with hike from Gorepani to Tadapani) but doable. Gorgeous nature and never too busy or congested. three remarks - on the hot springs on day four: these are two stone basins of about 3-4m by 9-10m and pretty crowded. It's more of a party atmosphere than a relaxing soak after a day's hike. Two of our group skipped it, me and another person went and thought it average. - The sunrise on poon hill is beautiful, but crowded, you're there with about 100+ trekkers. However, this was not bothersome. Other people decided to sleep in and went for the sunset and were equally happy. - as a novice, consider trekking poles or a bamboo stick for balance on the downhill parts, and a slight aid on the steeper uphill parts. I was very happy I brought them along.

This was a very enjoyable five days. Prakash is a very friendly, able and experienced guide - who really made the whole experience special. Many thanks to Shiva for putting all the arrangements in place, and even making sure I got my plane to Kathmandu on the last day (there was fog at the airport). Overall, this was an excellent trek - I can't wait for the next one.
