3-day trek from Ghorepani to Ghandruk

5.00I contacted Gokul through GetYourGuide website. After arranging a successful scenic mountain flight for me, we arranged a trek to Ghorepani- Poonhill- Tadapani- Ghandruk. Three days in total. I was very lucky to be assigned Shiva as my guide. He has plenty of experience on these routes. I really enjoyed our conversations, specially when he explained me about Hinduism and Buddhism elements that we found in our way. Also I appreciate that he had enough patience to wait for me every time that I needed a rest and was constantly asking if everything was ok. He introduced me to some local dishes in our way, kindly took some pictures and dealt with all transport issues successfully. The advantage of this trek is that relatively short and very scenic. The first day we hike 4 hours, the second day 8 hours and the last day 3 hours. It is highly advisable to carry hiking poles, because there are a lot of ups and downs and when starting very early in the morning, it was common to find ice, therefore you should be ready for slippery surfaces. I did the trek in January, luckily we didn't find harsh weather conditions, as blizzards. However the temperature could be as low as -5 specially when climbing up to poonHill at 6 am in the morning. I highly recommend Gokul to organise your trip, and he has the plus that he speaks very good Spanish.

5.00Our trek was the 5 day Poon Hill from Pokhara with Bishnu as our guide and was our first adventure of this kind. We had no expertise in climbing and next to no Nepalese - by the time we finished we felt we had tasted the culture and the Himalayas in a way we will always remember. The blend of trekking was fantastic! Some quite physically challenging moments (steps to Ulleri), some moments of real peace in the rhododendron forests and some moments of sheer amazement like Poon Hill itself. All these were taken in at our own pace with Bishnu adding so much ‘know how’ at every turn. The mountain villages are so welcoming and a regularly spaced along the way. Tea/coffee houses galore with some wonderful traditional food and western options if you want. The toilet facilities can be a concern for some - we found most were absolutely fine and none to be worse than many a service station in Britain. The rooms are largely down to your guide’s contacts and availability, Bishnu found us great rooms along the way and also integrated us with the locals, with whom he’s clearly very good friends. To some it up, we’d highly recommend booking with Outshine Adventures and if Bishnu is free ask for him. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Nayām̐ barṣakō śubhakāmanā! Ben and Jenny
