Review of the 4-day Ghorepani, Poon Hill and Ghandruk trek from Pokhara, with sunrise views, tea houses, costs, effort and practical tips.

“I am so happy we did it. The places were amazing and our guide Chandra was exceptional and funny! We waited until we were in Pokhara to book it thinking it would be cheaper there and in the end we realised it was cheaper to book it online. We were expecting very basic dorms and we got rooms with amazing views all along the way. It is cold at night but the blankets and covers of the lodges were very good and warm enough (at the end of November). I would recommend everyone to book it here. The places were so beautiful that my boyfriend proposed to me at sunrise…”

Our guide Elias could not have been a better guide. He was patient and kind, inspired us to keep going on the steep hills, and shared lots of historical and archaeological knowledge. Our chef Leandro prepared meals that you cannot believe were possible while trekking for four days. His assistant Elias was incredibly helpful and friendly. Our mule master Boris was cheerful and efficient. The whole team could not…”

Review of the 4-day Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, with Sky Lodge domes, high mountain passes, meals, guides, and practical advice.

“My mother and I did the 4 day Salkantay trek with Fernando as our guide. He was so patient, accommodating, and really knowledgeable of everything to do with the mountain and history of the Incas. The trek entailed many history lessons from Fernando where everyone learned so much. There were different levels of fitness on the trek and Fernando accommodated everyone, provided coco leaves, and encouraged us at times where we were exhausted. The food on the trek was absolutely amazing, the chef outdid himself every night. The accommodation on the mountain was very comfortable aswell. I thought the prices and tips were all very fair, I wish I could…”

“This trekking was the absolute highlight of my Morocco trip. The places we saw were breathtakingly beautiful. It was an incredibly enriching experience to be cut off from everything civilized and deep in the nature of Morocco. I was particularly pleased with the trekking Mohammed, our guide. He constantly asked about our well-being and asked us about our preferences when choosing the route. His ability to adapt to our desires and give us an authentic experience was truly remarkable. Through him I also got to know the fascinating Berber culture and visited some beautiful ancient villages. He just made everything smooth and pleasant. I can warmly recommend this trekking to…”

Review of Cusco’s 4-day Inca Jungle Adventure with biking, rafting, ziplining, jungle hikes, hot springs, and Machu Picchu.

“Really enjoyed the Adventure Hike, lots of pros with only a few cons, see below breakdown of the 4 days (I travelled early June 2024), some tips and a packing list of what to take. Day 1, Bike and Raft: Bike was great fun, very easy/beginner friendly as mostly downhill but get to pick up some speed while catching the views. Rafting was excellent with a few decent rapids. Accommodation was terrible, very basic shared hostel with only cold water shower (not ideal after rafting), food was average but didn't go hungry. Day 2, Hike: I'd class myself intermediate hiker and I found it pretty easy, there's a few hills…”

Review of the 4-day Mardi Himal trek from Pokhara, with mountain views, tea houses, costs, safety advice, itinerary details, and practical tips.

“I did the Mardi Himal trek with MTA Trekking, and the whole experience felt truly special. The Mardi Himal trek took us up to the Mardi Himal Viewpoint, and we even continued to Mardi Himal Base Camp, which wasn’t planned at all. It felt like a gift. Standing there with the views of Fishtail, Annapurna South, Mardi Himal, and all the surrounding peaks was one of those moments I know I’ll remember for a long time. The teahouses during the Mardi Himal trek were cozy and welcoming. What made the trek even better was my guide, Ramit. He genuinely cared about how I was feeling every step of the way.…”
