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.”

“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.”

“Our 4-day trek was hampered by weather although we managed to sporadically have amazing views of the Himalayas. The trip was an unforgettable experience and a true test of endurance not for the faint of heart. Our guide Padam and porter Jagan were terrific and very accommodating to our needs. Their local knowledge of the area and mountains was truly an asset to our experience. I would highly recommend both Padam and Jagan to others looking to trek all over Nepal.”
