Embark on a scenic and invigorating journey through the Annapurna region in Nepal with the popular Poon Hill Trek. Also known as the short Annapurna Circuit Trek, this idyllic trail showcases the beauty of the region with its picturesque villages and stunning rhododendron forests. In spring (March-April), the blooming rhododendrons create a paradise-like ambiance. The highlight of the trek is the early morning hike to Poon Hill (3,210 m), where you will be treated to a breathtaking sunrise view of the entire Annapurna range, including the majestic peaks of Dhaulagiri (8,167 m), Annapurna I (8,091 m), Machhapuchhre (6,998 m), and more. Although the trail requires some ups and downs, it is suitable for anyone with basic fitness. The ascent to Ulleri may be challenging with its over 3,000 stone steps, but the experience is well worth the effort.

  • Bucket list trek! Go now... don't regret missing such an amazing experience!

    This trek was absolutely life-changing! The sights, the food, the culture, and everyone you get to meet along the way are absolutely worth it. The guide was so helpful and knowledgeable along the hike. The daily cost of the guide was negligible in comparison to everything you learn and the experience you have. The trek is not very crowded, but the people that are on the journey, the people that live there, and the hikers, are all wonderful and friendly. This trek is best for people in reasonable good shape. I wouldn't say you need to train for the trek, but you might want to make sure you can hike 5-7 miles per day without too much trouble.

    Our Trek with Breathe Nepal Trekking: Warm, Reliable, and Unforgettable When we chose Breathe Nepal Trekking, we mainly hoped for a well-organized journey through the Himalayas. What we received was so much more: an adventure full of stunning views, genuine warmth, and countless good moments shared with our guide Roman and porter Saroj. Perfect Organization from the Start. Communication beforehand was clear and quick. Everything was taken care of: permits, route, accommodations, and even practical tips about what we should and definitely shouldn’t bring. It felt professional right away, but never distant. And that feeling stayed throughout the trek: everything was well-organized without ever feeling rushed. Roman & Saroj. Roman turned out not only to be an excellent guide but also someone you can effortlessly talk with for days. About mountains, culture, food, daily life in Nepal… and occasionally about things that made no sense at all, but still made us laugh. Saroj had that same energy: strong, kind, modest, and with a smile that worked like central heating even at 4,000 meters. Together, they showed us the true warm character of Nepal, not just through what they told us, but through who they were. At times it felt as if we were traveling with friends rather than with a trekking team. The Trek Itself. The route was perfectly planned: a great mix of peaceful villages, forests, breathtaking mountain views, and enough breaks to catch our breath (which was absolutely necessary at times). The lodges were simple but comfortable, with hot tea, hearty meals, and that satisfying feeling of “this was a good day.” Safe, Caring, and Attentive. We truly appreciated how attentive Roman and Saroj were. Pace, acclimatization, water, rest… we didn’t have to think about anything except how many times we could say “wow” before it became annoying. And whenever we had a question, they usually answered it before we even asked. Fun Together. What made this trek truly special was how much fun we had together. We laughed so much on the way, sometimes at jokes, sometimes out of tiredness, sometimes at nothing at all. It made even the longer or steeper sections feel much lighter. It felt like the four of us formed a small team on a shared mission to discover the best of Nepal. Final Verdict. Breathe Nepal Trekking is reliable, professional, and personal. But Roman and Saroj made it genuinely unforgettable. They shaped the Himalayas for us not only through the route, but through their warmth and their character. We would return with them without a moment of doubt, for the mountains, for the experience, and honestly… simply for the good times together.

    From start to finish, our Poon Hill trek was an absolutely incredible and seamless experience, thanks entirely to our amazing guide, Roman. We cannot recommend him highly enough! Roman made the entire journey a true pleasure. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the region, and the culture. He had a wonderful way of sharing insights without overwhelming us, making every step engaging. Beyond his expertise on the mountain, Roman's choices for accommodation and food were outstanding. Every guesthouse he selected was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, providing the perfect rest after a day of hiking. The meals he coordinated were delicious, and authentic, consistently exceeding our expectations for what you can find on the trail. It felt like we were eating in the best spots every single day!

    In October 2025 our daughter and I made a wonderful trek with Breathe Nepal, perfectly organised by Roman, splendidly guided by Kumar and assisted by Sarot. The tour was diligently planned and executed, with an exceptionally nice guide and porter, who were extremely pleasant to trek with during the entire tour. We did the Poon Hill and Annapurna Base Camp in one go, i.e. eight days with over 90 km of walking and uncounted steps along the way, but in a beautiful setting of the Nepali mountain forest surrounded by the Himalayan mountains offering splendid views.

  • Excellent guide, route and preparation.

    We booked with Roman at Breath for December 2024. Our kids are aged 6 and 10. The route, guiding and accommodation was expertly planned and it was the best family trip I think we have ever had. The scenery was breathtaking, the amount we hiked each day very manageable and all preparation from the pickup at the airport to saying goodbye to us as a family 4–5 days later was superb. I have already recommended Roman to 4 or five people and the feedback is consistently the same. I urge you highly to consider booking any hiking trips to Nepal with them.

    Kumar is an absolutely amazing human and trek guide. I cannot recommend him enough! He was always generous, uplifting with a smile, and willing to answer any questions we had. Me and my friends had an amazing couple of days trekking through loon hill and getting amazing views of Nepal.

    We had an amazing 3 day poon hill trek with Kumar! Everything was taken care of for us, including trekking permits, hotel bookings, and food. Kumar was wonderful, kind, thoughtful, and funny. His warm hospitality was one of the best parts of the trek. He knew all of the best picture spots, and gave us a lot of interesting information and history about trekking in the Anapurna region. I would absolutely hire Kumar again as a guide.

    Kumar is the best there is. He made even the difficult parts of the hike fun. He took us to the best tea houses and even showed us a local favorite spot. His knowledge of the area is vast and his encouragement is never ending. I was worried about my lack of hiking being a problem on the trek but Kumar let me take things at my own pace. Kumar even helped us care for our bags while we were on the trek. The sights were beautiful even during the rainy season. 10/10 recommend booking with Kumar!

    We had an amazing trekking experience with Breathe Nepal Trekking. Our guide Roman was fantastic—always friendly, approachable, and incredibly helpful without ever being pushy. He managed to organize great accommodations along the way and made sure everything ran smoothly. We felt well taken care of from start to finish. Roman was also very open to our questions and flexible with our wishes, which made the trip feel personal and relaxed. We highly recommend both Breathe Nepal Trekking and Roman—this was a truly memorable adventure!

  • 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

    We had a great time on the Poon Hill Trek and it was all thanks to the team from Breathe Nepal. We brought our 15 month old daughter with us and they found a baby porter, Saroj, that made sure she was safe and well cared for along the way. Yam, our guide, encouraged us through the tough days and celebrated with us at dinner time. He also helped keep our daughter entertained and made sure she was well fed and hydrated. His son went along as well and provided great entertainment and encouragement as well. By the end of the trek, we felt like one big, happy family! Roman helped arrange everything from the beginning and always responded quickly to any questions I had. We highly recommend Breathe Nepal for any guided trek you wish to do in Nepal and we especially recommend Yam as a guide and Saroj as a porter.
