Joi was my guide of the 6 day PoonHill trekking October 2023. I would highly, highly, recommend everyone to pair up with him. His company, his personality, reliability and the level of detailed care to me was superb, way above and beyond my expectation and description. Yes, I’d rate him 5+ out of 5!! And will call on him again with no reluctance.

I really recommend PoonHill Trekking with Ghanesh Guide. It was a unique experience! He leads a 10! He helped us at all times, and a very friendly and funny boy! I also recommend Thamel Hostel. Very good Price quality ratio. It has no toilet inside the room, but there is one outside, shared. The hotel staff very well too. They provided us with help and directly contracted the trekking with their trekking agency. All perfect. Thank you Ghan i Ghanesh, such a pleasure to have dealt with you.

After staying at the Thamel Hostel in Kathmandu we had the opportunity to organize our trek in the beautiful Annapurna Conservation Area. The hotel manager helped us buying a bus ticket to Pokhara and put us in contact with our guide, Santosh. We met him the morning after, when he picked us up at our hotel in Pokhara and brought us at the beginning of our hike. The 4 days were extremely nice. Santosh was a perfect guide, funny, caring, answering to all of our questions on the road but also giving us time to explore by ourselves. We really recommend him as a guide to anybody who wants to make a safe trek. Eva and Alison from Italy
