Being an adventure-loving couple or exploring the Himalayas in Poon Hill Trek, we decided to experience a closer encounter with the mighty Himalayas in our vacation this year. Our holiday was cut off short due to some family functions, and we didn’t want to replace the idea so easily. Surfing the internet, we were lucky to find this four days trek of Poon Hill by Himalaya Trip. After some necessary questioning, they were prepared enough to run this trek on short notice. Wasting no time, my wife and I flew to Kathmandu with expectations of knowing the mountains better from home.
More than just the snow-capped mountains, the smiling locals, and warm hospitality
Our drive to Nayapul from Pokhara was smooth, and we enjoyed the snacks in the way. The early drive led us to perfect weather to start our trek in Nayapul. The sudden shift in the lifestyle and settlements amazed me as we’ve entered rural Nepal after only 3 hours of walk to a suspension bridge. The trail moved straight up for some time, and I can remember my wife looking me with the classic ‘this was supposed to be easy’ look.
However, the stretch completed quickly giving us a bit more relaxed trail to Ulleri. Nearing the village we were going to stay for tonight, we witnessed the local farming techniques in the Nepalese hills. The kids were playing and adults returning after the routine field activities, but a thing common was a beautiful smile and a greeting to the soul going by ‘Namaste.’ With a beautiful sunset from Ulleri, we ended our first day of Poonhill trek in a lodge here.
So much more than the internet but surprises are always delightful
With a great sleep last night, we started day two of our trek with a light breakfast in our guesthouse. The view was outstanding from the lodge, and we got a clear sight of the hills and mountains in the morning. The trek today was relaxed as assured by our guide Hari but he did fail to mention the majestic rhododendron forests we will be passing by today. The vibrant wildflowers and taking many pictures now and then, we didn’t feel even a little bit of the toil from that 5-hour walk to Ghorepani. We did research a bit about the trail, but we would certainly have missed the excellent narration of Hari on spotting the birds, herbs, flowers, and the culture of the locals there. Luck was certainly on our favor as we were blessed with beautiful weather throughout the trek. We went to bed early as we were familiar to the early hike of tomorrow.
Best sunrise of my life; the Himalayan glory in Poon Hill
Poonhill hike started early from Ghorepani. This very place is called so many times as the best viewpoint of Annapurna and even by many people as the king of short treks in Nepal. We were both excited as well as ready to test that if the destination is worth our efforts or not. With an easy hike for an hour, we reached the top of the hill just to be left amazed and speechless. The views of Annapurna and other ranges were so beautiful that internet pictures were just a bit of what the place has to offer. Hari helped us with the Peaks, and we picked some from the board there too. A small cafe there gave us more reasons and a hot beverage to fall for the place. We took many pictures and just enjoyed the moment there. This panoramic view from Poon Hill Trek will remain with us forever. After treasuring some moments at the viewpoint, we started the descent to Ghorepani.

4D3N Poon Hill Trek- Cherish for a lifetime
A big shout out to our guide Ramess and our porter Ram for taking care of us and
ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the 4D3N Poon Hill Trek. All kind words of
Ramess touched us and Ram earned our respect by carrying our backpacks and making us
feel comfortable. The scenery, the experience itself, and everything was amazing. An
unforgettable experience to cherish for a lifetime. Definitely will come back shortly for
an even more challenging route. Highly recommended. Thank you, team and Nepal.

We book three activities with Himalaya Trip and the experience was amazing. Harka, the team leader was very friendly. He takes care of us at every moment and we feel very confortable. The same happened with the guides we meet in each activity, they were very nice. I highly reccomend to do a trek in Nepal, we didn’t have lot of days, so we choose the Poon Hill Trek. It was very good, the wheather was so clear that the last day we saw the sunrise in Poon Hill, the view of the Annapurnas was fascinating. Through the route you visit many villages, but the last one, Ghandruk, was the best end point we could had. Hope one day we could repeat and do the Annapurna Circuit…

We went on a 4D3N trek to Poon Hill in a group of 3 from 28 December 2022 to 31
December 2022. Team Leader Harka communicated with us and in detail explained the
tour and the itinerary. For a briefing, we met our guide, Jay. It was easy for us as we met
before the trek.
Our guide Jay and our porter were super caring and helpful. Perfect arrangement of
accommodation and care and support at every step. We all were moved by Jay’s gesture
and impressed with his attention to detail and passion. Our porter had done much more
than what he was supposed to do and super grateful to him too.
The amazing stunning views and freshly cooked tasty foods with choice options made
our winter trek warmer. To sum up, we highly recommend this company for their perfect
arrangement  thanks again for everything!

All our arrangements from airport transfer, and hotel transfer, to the overall trip, and return flight were smooth. Harka was very responsive in our online communication via emails and WhatsApp. Harka made quick arrangements when our first flight to Pokhara was canceled due to bad weather. With our guide Om, a jeep arrangement to Ulleri was made to catch up with our itinerary schedule. So amazed with their alternative quick arrangements. Also, the accommodations provided are better than expected with private showers in our room.They are trustworthy, sincere, and responsible. I highly recommend the Himalaya trip.

4 Days Poonhill Trek was fantastic
Hi Harka, My 4 Days Poonhill Trek was fantastic during the four days. I have had the most amazing time thanks to Surpa.
I have met many guides in different countries but none like him. He was very caring, professional, and overall helped me a lot in many ways. Thanks to him I will remember the trekking trip and Nepal in a very positive manner.
If I ever do come back to Nepal, which I hope I do in the near future, I would definitely like to make trip arrangements with you and have Surpa as my guide.
Thank you once again for arranging my trip, it was the highlight of the vacation. I’d also like to thank you for pairing Surpa to be my guide. He was indeed a very very great and sweet guide.
Take care and I hope to talk with you in the near future.

Superb experience with everything
My 4 days and 3 nights Poon Hill solo trek in Nov 2023 with the Himalaya Trip was a superb experience. Fortunate to get connected with them via Google search. Harka is the owner of this professional trekking company. He arranged everything according to my needs. I find him very friendly and he even offered to drive me to the airport with his scooter. A perfect service including all meals and accommodation throughout the whole trip within my tight budget. Also, my guide Jay is patient, caring, easygoing, professional, and the best guide I could have. I had a super fun trekking trip with Jay cracking jokes and talking. Overall, I will recommend the Himalaya trip if you plan trekking in Nepal and as well as Jay as your guide. You will be well looked after and safe and get to enjoy the most with your trip. I will of course choose the Himalaya trip to organize my trip again when I come back for another trekking trip.
Ps the views are just amazing and as well as all Nepalese. And I don’t normally write reviews but they deserve all the compliments.

I couldn’t ask for a better trek. Harka- the owner arranged everything so well including accommodation and transportation in both Kathmandu and Pokhara. During the trek, I was well looked after by our guide Jay. He is a super caring and detailed guide as he checked everything such as hot shower, foods and room conditions etc in every lodge. Also he can go through the details like your shoelaces, trekking pole to make sure everything is fine to keep me safe. Also, our porter Membar is friendly too and served us well. He was carrying our heavyweights backpack without saying a words while at the same time he still took the initiative to help us to take photos. Lastly, the driver from Kathmandu to Pokhara is great too. We can arrived Pokhara fast and safely. This trip is far beyond my imagination, will definitely come back in the future.

Straight out of the ledger, the memories to remember forever
After the hike back to Ghorepani, we continued the return trek to Ghandruk. This stretch surprised me more as we got to interact more with the locals and just knew these places better. The stone patched roofs amazed us with cultural delights here. The local dress and Sukuti (Dry meat) varieties were amazing here. We spent a relaxed day at a community lodge in Ghandruk. Our last day of the trek started with another beautiful sunrise and local breakfast in Ghandruk. The views of Annapurna and fishtail accompanied us to Kimche, and we drove to Pokhara. We relaxed for a bit, and Pokhara was the perfect place to end our tour.
Overall, this trek was one of the best decisions we made after realizing the majestic experience we collected here. The friendly locals, pristine nature, and a perfect short trekking experience here will lead us to visit there again. The job Himalaya Trip has done flawless and looking back; we couldn’t have been on more reliable hands for the trek. With glorious memory and stories of our Poonhill trek to share and relish thanks to Himalaya Trip, we discovered the Himalayas better than ever. Keep traveling as Ronald rook said ‘add life to days not days to life.’
