Ghorepani Poon hill Trek 5 days

It was a great experience! Everything was planned and we just needed to enjoy the trekking. Our guide Binod was super nice and helpful and great at spreading good energy. It was a trip of a lifetime.

First time in Nepal, but not the last for sure... Lovely trek and great guide (Binod) always caring for us. Really friendly and enjoying with us along the trek. It was the perfect combination of landscapes, people and challenge. 100% recommended for everyone! Namaste and धन्यवाद!

It was my first time climbing a mountain and it was great! I loved the experience of Poon Hill and especially the company with the guide Binod. Always attentive and adapting to our pace. 100% recommendable :). Lovely experience with this local travel specialist

The hike was beautiful and we were blessed with wonderful weather despite going during monsoon season. And even though it was the off season I found it very peaceful and a really lovely time, so try not to let the idea of an off-season scare you too much :)

I can’t recommend Shiva and his team highly enough. From the moment I stepped out of Tribhuvan International I felt that warm Nepalese welcome, with our guide Bishnu greeting us at the airport. Nepal is a beautiful country with some of the most amazing countryside. Shiva’s team guided us on a truely authentic experience always ensuring we were catered for. Poon Hill although considered a relatively easy hike still had some challenges and Bishnu ensured we took it at our pace. We climbed Poon Hill in what is considered the off season, maybe we were just fortunate with good weather but all the waterfalls and the fewer crowds seem like the perfect time to me.

Beautiful views and very good guide and porter lots of helpful information about local area and the different mountains

I spent all together 5 days for this trek, however the road has been the palce ullare., and most of trekking route is from dusty road. many jeep nd transport comes to the same road. so hard to walk, the first day is almost 80 % are the motor road. But from the second day it is nice up to Ghorapane. Climbing to poon hill was great experience , Great Sunrise and Excellent view of Mountain This trek is suitable for people who do not have much time to do the annapurna circuit or annapurna base camp trekking but still enjoy some breathtaking views of the mountains. My tour included all lodging, local transportation, and a fantastic tour guide. I always felt safe and taken care of. Be sure to provide your schedule ahead of time- i would highly recommend getting help of local tour specialists.

Nice trek, with beautiful views! Quit hard with the snow, but the guide was a great help! It was really good, distances per day was enough if you never do treks, well balanced. But a pity we didnt see much from ghandruk, we hadnt the time to look around because we had to go to the bus. And there was said that ghandruk was beautiful to walm around and see the culture, so that was a pity. But overall really well balanced and Nice trip!! With a kind and helpfull guide.

I did the poon hill trek with guide Nikesh and had a very good time! He did everything possible to make me comfortable. The trek itself was very good, although day 4 was a bit of a tough one. Views where amaaaaaaaazing, food was good, rooms usually had a mild to warm shower and were clean. Unfortunately like all over nepal, there is also a lot of garbage on and next to the trail.

Excellent trip! My wife and I identified the itinerary that we wanted for our trip to Nepal (Poon Hill trek, rafting and Chitwan safari with New Years Eve in Kathmandu) and we searched various travel companies to help make the itinerary work for us. We got in touch with local tour specialists through Bookmundi. Shiva responded quickly and arranged the itinerary that we wanted with some extras that we hadnt considered all for a reasonable price. After a few emails back and forth with Shiva to confirm all the details we were ready, happy and confident that the trip would be great. After arriving in Kathmandu, everything was arranged for us, and we were assigned Prakash as our guide for the week along with a porter for the trek. Prakash was talkative and funny, and looked after us greatly. He was happy to share many things about his culture and we enjoyed his company. He has been doing many treks in Nepal for the past 7 years, so he knows his stuff and we knew we were in capable hands. Also, he understands a lot of foreign cultures and knows what we are looking for in with our time in Nepal. The trek was fabulous with beautiful views and we were lucky to have such great weather in December (sunny, 15C in the day and less than 5C at night). The tea houses that you stay in are basic, most had hot water for a shower (but maybe try and be the first or second one in the shower so the hot water doesnt run out!), and the food was decent. Note that any drinks (including teas and water) are to be paid for yourself, but everything else is included (i.e. accommodation and food). Day 1 lasts around 4 hours hike all uphill, Day 2 is 7 hours hike all uphill, Day 3 is 7 hours hike uphill and downhill, and Day 4 is 4 hours all downhill. The paths are well maintained (some of the steps are quite big!), lots of tea houses to stop off at along the way (usually every hour or so) and they have a lot of supplies. The rafting on the Trisuli River was fun. It is around 20km which takes around 3 hours and there were 9 of us in the rafting boat. The water is cold, and depending on the company you go with you need to check whether there are showers at the end, or at least how you will get to warm clothing / shower. The Chitwan safari was good experience. We stayed in a nice lodge (Hermitage) and went on a boat, walk and jeep safari. The vegetation was very high in December making it more difficult to view the animals, but we still hit lucky and saw a lot. You can do elephant riding and there are other tricks that the elephants can do. We chose not to go with these as we were sceptical about their training. We used a private car to get from Pokhara to the rafting, then to Chitwan, then back to Kathmandu. For us we felt it was worth doing and Shiva booked it all for us, and Prakash was with us to make sure it all went smoothly. When we were back in Kathmandu, Shiva took us to a lovely local restaurant with dancing to see how the trip went for us. Both Shiva and Prakash really looked after us and made sure everything went to plan. Great trip, thoroughly enjoyed, thank you to both of them!

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.

I booked this 5-days trekking trip to Poonhill through bookmundi the day before departure. It was kind of a rush but everything turns out very smooth and the trek was just amazing. The weather was so nice and comfortable around this time in Nepal (Oct/Nov), you can see lots of nice views and animals throughout the journey. It was not easy to do the trek in 5-days, including transporting for the first and last day, but it's totally worth it. Big shout out to the guide Bishnu, who is a very heart-warming, experienced and responsible guide who took care almost everything in the trip for me. He let you walk in your pace and would not hesitate to help if you have any difficulties. I had lots of questions about the trek and Nepal, he got answers to most of them! The porter "Pikas"(I don't know how to spell this name) was also nice and very responsible and offered help when it's needed. The organizer Shiva was very accomodating and making sure everything runs smoothly behind too! They prepared sleeping bags and down jacket for you so you don't have to worry about the cold at nights in the mountain. He also recommended me to take the flight from Pokhara to Kathmandu and it was definitely a better alternative comparing to 7-8hours local bus ride. You can see all the mountains in that area on flight and it's just around 30mins flight.

It was a very good trip, my guide Prakash was very knowledgeable and on point. They tried their best to be flexible and adjust to my time constraint, really appreciated it. Didnt put 5 stars only because of the very rainy weather but it was the low season so there is nothing they could have done.

We had a great time on our 3 day trek, wished we could have spent longer treking. Our guide Binod was great, very helpful and friendly! The trek was our first ever trek and was a great introduction to trekking and the Himalayas.

The trekking was excellent. Everything was perfect. Bishnu is the best guide! He was very professional, kind and patience.

Very good attention of the guide, very happy we will recommend it for sure ! Thanks! Sara and Carmen

The tour was very well organized from our arrival at Kathmandu till we arrived back in Kathmandu . We did not have to worry about anything. The tour guide Binod was very friendly, helpful and a great person. He showed us the best spots around the track and he negotiated best prices, when we had to buy any products for ourself . The track is very beautiful and it is not extremely challenging. I would even recommended for beginners. The whole experience was just amazing!

We joined the poonhill trek in January. Its lucky to have a nice guide with is. All the arrangement including accommodations and the foods were good! Theres no problems of communication, recommend!

I hired a guide through local tour specialists in order to do the Poon Hill Trek over 4 days and 3 nights. This was my first time trekking in Nepal so i wasn't sure what to expect but saw the great reviews the company had got and decided to go with them. Our guide Bishnu was great, making all our arrangements covering accommodation, food etc. He told us each night what the plan for the next day was and the whole thing ran really smoothly. At the end you get a really cool certificate saying you've completed the trek which is a nice bonus. They were really professional and made the trek a fantastic experience!

I absolutely enjoyed the trek and beautiful panoramic view from Poonhill. I enjoyed so much that I wished that I had signed up for a longer course. My guide, Bishal, was very kind and provided just enough support I needed. I didnt get a complimentary dinner, airport drop or a trekking map though. I also thought it would have been better if there was a briefing on the itinerary before the trekking started.

Poon Hill Sunrise experience isn't worth the effort. 90% of moonlight and sunrise views can be seen from level of Ghore Pani lodging compounds. Tour company did provide me with an experienced guide, insuring my safety.

Having great experience in trekking to poon hill with our guide Bishnu. They have good care of the whole trip with comfortable guest house and food. The view in poon hill with sunrise is amazing! We love the trip. The paragliding is fun as well. The guide is very kind and trustable.
