We had a short 3days trip to Poonhill. The guide and porter of Asian Heritage were helpfull, experienced and friendly. Even though it was short trip my family and I experienced a close and personal connection with them. We felt safe and really supported to bring this trip to a good end. We would definitely book our next trip with them again!

Our guide Rohit was very good and he had very much knowledge about everything here which explains the professionality of the employees of Asian Heritage. In a conclusion, I will recommend anyone to visit here and you’ll love it for sure. Thank you, Nepal, Asian Heritage…
