5.00Really enjoyable trek, you have the opportunity to see some incredible views on your journey including a walk through the forest, valley, through villages and up to poon hill to see the mountains! After finishing trekking for the day, you rest at teahouses for the night. These are pretty comfortable and the food is always good there too, and lots of tea is provided. My trek guide, Hari, was absolutely amazing. He is very attentive and always made sure to take regular breaks if I needed them, he really tried to ensure that I was happy and enjoying the trek. Unfortunately, I was a bit unwell during the trek, but Hari was so great in going out of his way to make sure I was okay and provided me with tea and medicine during this. He also made extra precautions when walking, and made sure to take regular breaks so I wasn’t overdoing it while unwell. Hari really made the whole experience 10/10 and is a lovely person to be around. I cant recommend the poon hill/ghorepani trek enough, fantastic experience and some really enjoyable trekking! I really recommend going with trek guide Hari to make your experience even better ☺️ Thank you Hari!
Great Experience with this trek

5.00I would highly recommend this trek to anyone new to trekking. We couldn’t have asked for a better first trekking experience, the amazing views and our brilliant guide Hari made it a perfect way to spend a few days in nepal. Hari was friendly, knowledgeable and super attentive to anything we needed, a perfect guide. The tearooms we stayed in each night were also always clean with hot showers, lovely food and incredible views of the mountains to wake up to in the morning. Worth every penny.
Best guide, amazing trek

5.00This trek was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the very end. Apart from the breathtaking views of the Himalayas, it was our guide, Hari, who made this trek one of the best hiking experiences of my life. He is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've ever met. He made everyone smile, and he went out his way to take care of us, and made sure we were all comfortable. It is truly a priceless experience that I would wholeheartedly recommend.
Amazing trip

5.00Had an amazing trekk with a group of friends and our guide Hari. The whole trip was amazing and have zero regrets coming out of it. Our guide Hari went above and beyond to make sure all of us had the best experience we could. The hike itself was challenging but still at a level to take in everything around you and enjoy yourself. Overall an amazing experience and super glad I ended up going!!

5.00Hari was the perfect guide for the Poon Hill trek. He always stayed with the slower members of the group and was always encouraging and in no way judgemental. On the second to last day I injured my leg and he carried my bag for me the entire day. On the last day he organised a horse for me as it became clear I would not be able to complete the trek by foot. He was very kind and helpful and I could not recommend him highly enough. Also the views were amazing and made the trek worth it!!!
