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 Milan and our porter Krishnan were so friendly, loving and caring. It was our first trek ever, it would have been really hard for them to tolerate our slow pace but they managed it very well. We couldn’t see the mountains from Poon hill as it was cloudy and rainy most of the time. Still trekking in the rain was a wonderful experience.”

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.…”
