Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is a classic and rewarding trekking route in the Annapurna region of Nepal, known for its stunning views of the Himalayan peaks, charming villages, and lush rhododendron forests.
My journey with this trekking agency for the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek began with excellent communication and organization from the team. They provided detailed information about the trek, itinerary, and what to expect, ensuring that I was well-prepared for the adventure ahead. The team was accommodating and flexible in tailoring the trip to my preferences, making the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable from the start.
Upon meeting Nima Sherpa, my experienced and friendly trekking guide, I knew I was in good hands for the trek. Nima's expertise, knowledge of the region, and passion for the mountains were evident from the beginning, and his warm and approachable nature made him a fantastic companion throughout the journey. Nima not only guided us safely along the trail but also shared insightful stories, cultural tidbits, and interesting facts about the local communities we encountered along the way.
The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek itself was a magical experience filled with breathtaking scenery and memorable moments. The trail led us through picturesque villages, terraced fields, and dense forests of rhododendron, providing a diverse and ever-changing landscape to explore. Each day brought new adventures and challenges, with the highlight being the sunrise hike to Poon Hill, where we were treated to panoramic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges bathed in golden light.
The teahouses and lodges we stayed in during the trek were comfortable and cozy, offering a warm respite after long days of hiking. The local hospitality and delicious meals provided a taste of Nepalese culture and made us feel welcomed and at home in the mountains.
One of the most memorable moments of the trek was interacting with the local Gurung and Magar communities along the way, learning about their traditions, lifestyle, and unique customs. Nima's translations and insights added depth to these cultural exchanges, allowing us to truly appreciate the rich heritage of the region.
Overall, trekking the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek was a truly unforgettable experience. The seamless organization, expert guidance, stunning scenery, and cultural immersion made this journey a highlight of my travels in Nepal. I would highly recommend this trek and the services of this company to anyone looking for a memorable and enriching adventure in the Himalayas.
Just completed the Gokyo Lakes, Gokyo Ri, Cho-La and EBC treks with this local travel expert and had an unforgettable experience. Throughout the whole process Chhatra was an impressive communicator - very responsive, simple, clear and informative. Our guide (Rinji) and porter (also Rinji !!) were incredibly flexible in helping us make the impossible, possible - whilst always looking out for our health and wellbeing. I cannot more highly recommend this agency for your Himalaya adventure - the whole team was truly incredible - experienced, knowledgable and well connected to all the best places to stay along the way. We had such an epic trip... Thanks Chhatra, Rinji's and team... Matt
Had an awesome experience largely part to our very knowledgeable & laid back guide, Dipesh Chhetry. I highly recommend that he be awarded Guide of the Year!
Going valley in the morning over 4000m was severe coldness in winter because no sunshine due to surrounding mountains and wind. (Dingboche to Lobche)
It might be better to add 1 more layer, considering the weather.
Since a bit earlier than year end holiday, I could spend more quiet time.
On the way to back, I met more people who were going up.
Mr Bibek, the guide was knowledgeable and explained the mountains.
He was good advisor also for health conditions but you should know yourself first.

Great service, amazing experience and great adventure in the mountains!! Gokyo Cho La Pass trek with this tour agency is highly recommended. The agency is an expert in Manaslu region, Karma made all the preparations very smooth. I am a solo traveler and he helped me to find a group. All the communication was very smooth and I always got quick answers. Despite the tight schedule, the agency managed to get all the permits, and we left for the trek the day after arriving in Kathmandu. Karma and Nima are knowledgeable, responsible and funny guide/supporter, who made sure we had the best experience during the trek:) We loved the nature, villages, mountain views. I would love to return to Nepal and explore new parts of this beautiful country with this company.

The Trek was excellent - the scenery was fantastic with the clear weather in mid-October. The trekking was sometimes challenging, but never too hard for fairly fit "almost-60-year-olds". The views of Everest and its surrounding peaks, especially from Tengboche Monastery, were fantastic. If you don't feel the need, or have the time, to go all the way to Everest Base Camp, this is the trek to take!
I highly recommend this local tour operator! We took 18 days trek to Everest Base Camp and 3 High Passes in November and the experience was just amazing. We had everything professionally organized by Chris: transportation (including flight to Lukla), food and lodging, permits, you name it... The contact with the company was always quick and easy, Chris was super helpful and everything went smoothly. We were even provided with really good and warm sleeping bags and jackets! Our guide Lakpa was really experienced and knowledgeable, he showed us some of the most incredible places we've ever seen, helped us through all the though parts of the trail and was always there to answer questions and offer advice. We felt really well taken care for every step of the way. We're already planning our next trek in Nepal and we'll most definitely come back to Nepal.

This trip was simply amazing. Our first time trekking in Nagarkot, more than exceeded our expectations. The tour guide, Dipak, suggested some beautiful spots and routes all the way up. Watching the sun rise over Mt. Everest from the Nagarkot view-point was simply amazing. Thank you Dipak for showing us some wonderful views of Katmandu and Nagarkot.
