Review of the 3-day Poon Hill Trek from Pokhara, with sunrise views, costs, meals, permits, guides, fitness needs, and practical tips.

“The hike itself was stunning, with the summit being beautiful at sunrise. The guide and porter have been looking after us kindly, asked if I was okay and were amazingly helpful especially I went at a set pace and stopped for a few breaks. I recommend this hike if you are after a short duration hike as it was great and challenging experience to do.”

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 10-day Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp trek from Pokhara, with route details, costs, mountain views, guide tips, and practical advice.

“Jeg havde en virkelig god oplevelse med denne aktivitet. Pga. antallet af dage, var det med meget passende distancer hver dag. Distancer og terræn varierede nærmest fra dag til dag, hvilket jeg synes var positivt. Vi gik mellem 3-6 timer om dagen, men dette er også fleksibelt, alt efter hvordan kroppen har det. Jeg var meget tryg ved min guide. Han havde fuldkommen styr på overnatning i guesthouses, ruterne og var tilpas opmærksom på hvordan du havde det. Samtidig var han også god til hver dag at give information om planen for næste dag. Bikram var virkelig sød og behagelig at have som guide.”
