Had the best 4 day trek,
Had the best 4 days Poon Hill trek, beautiful weather and views. My guide Umesh was amazing, patient but encouraging. Had fruit for the day for me and picked me berries along the path for me to try. Was very attentive on the evenings and we played card games together as well as having solo time. The company owner was very responsive and helpful and met me to discuss details and even booked buses from ktm to Pokhara for me. Would recommend as very reasonably priced and positive experience! Thank you both 🙂
The Poon Hill trek was excellent
The Poon Hill trek was excellent and the guide is patient and thoughtful. His warmed-hearted smile is one of beautiful view at our journey. Since attended this journey from your company we created many memorable memories. Hoping to have opportunity to revisit Nepal and attend another trekking trip in the future.
5 Days Ghorapani Poon Hill Trekking
I have booked the trip in last min and managed to have a private tour guide for 5 days Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek. The price was competitive and it is personalised to my time and preference.
As a beginner with no prior trek training, it was not possible to make it without the help of my tour guide – Surpa. He is caring and supportive along the 5 days trek.
I managed to view the beautiful Annapurna range from Poon Hill and it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience for me.
Thank you for all the arrangement and accommodations. Would definitely recommend Surpa and Himalayan Trip to all!!!
Highly Recommend! Professional and Reliable Trekking Company
As travelers from Taiwan, we were deeply impressed by the high level of service provided by this company.
Our guide’s expertise made the challenging Poon Hill trek feel smooth and manageable. He was very attentive to our needs and pace. The porters were also amazing—efficient, kind, and always there to help. Their hard work made our journey much more comfortable.
Everything was well-organized, and the hospitality was top-notch. We are so glad we chose them for our Nepal adventure. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Amazing and unforgettable 4D3N Poon Hill Trek
I finished 4-day-3-night Poon Hill Trek with my aunt who is an experienced hiker. While I am the beginner, both of us received good guidance and company from our guide, Sandeep and porter, Mani. We were always companied by one of them, safety being ensured all the time.
The trek was overall not too challenging but could be tough for those without hiking experience hiking for consecutive four days. Over the 4 days, we stayed in 3 nice hotels with fabulous views. Though it was sometimes cloudy after rains, we still managed to see the snow mountains from our rooms. And when we reached Poon Hill, the view was breath-taking and absolutely worth it!
Good trekking company
Good trekking company. Reliable, on time, respond quickly. We had an excellent time with our guide Milan and porter Bisal during Poon Hill and Mardi Himal Trek. Both were very friendly and helpful . We played many games together after each day of hiking.
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.
Professional. Friendly. Comfortable.
This is the second time using Himalaya Trip and Harka’s guys after our ABC Trek. This time we went to Poon Hill with my son and it was amazing. As usual, the team was professional, friendly, and comfortable. Recommended again and again.
Thank you again for organizing
Hello Harka!
Thank you again for organizing the Pokhara Ghorepani Poonhill Trek, it has been an amazing experience and Jay has been a great guide!
I’ll definitely recommend you and your team to any of my friends who might be interested in a trek in Nepal!
Amazing time but struggled Walking
Hello Harka, We had an amazing time but struggled a lot to walk uphill. Hari was very patient with us. Bless him. Overall a great experience. we will do another one with friends but will make sure we are more fit ?
Thank you
such an amazing experience
Thanks to you and your team for giving us the opportunity to have such an amazing experience! It was really the best!!

Once again, thanks for everything
Best, ciao ciao
Alice & Andrea
Trishuli rafting, Chitwan Jungle safari package and Ghorepani Poonhill Ghandruk Trek
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…
Most amazing Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
I had the most amazing Ghorepani – Poon Hill trek with my family visiting from India
organized by Himalaya Trip . The experience
was many times better than anticipated. Harka had extensively briefed us on the
preparation needed in advance as well as the route, both over email and in person at the
hotel, which made us comfortable. Our guide Surpa was super fantastic and took care of
it all (literally every step of the way). I would go back and highly recommend it.
Pokhara to Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
We received excellent communication, organization accommodation, and trekking
expertise. Had a wonderful experience as we were looked after excellently throughout
this phenomenal Pokhara to Ghorepani (Poon Hill) trek. Hope to revisit Nepal with their
help in the future. Thank you for the experience. I would highly recommend the
Himalaya Trip.
Perfect arrangement and super nice team (literally everyone)!
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!
Poon Hill Trek Experience
Cannot recommend this company enough. They tweaked the itinerary for us and helped organize it as we were very tight on time. Had a wonderful time, I’ve got the bug for Nepal so will book with Himalaya Trip again!
Outstanding Poon Hill Trek!
Very impressed and delighted with the Himalaya Trip’s team interaction, especially with
Hari and Milin. The trip was carefully planned in detail throughout our Poon Hill Trek.
Had an incredible time during our Poon Hill Trek.
Amazing experience on the Poon Hill Trek
I could not recommend this group more highly! Trek Organizer Harka was exceptionally
responsive and helpful. To make us feel comfortable, Harka was willing to go the extra
mile and was always prepared. Not only him, but our guide and porter, Hari, and Milin,
were also amazing, friendly, informative, and very hospitable. If you're considering a trek
through Nepal, I highly suggest booking through Himalaya Trip!
Poon Hill trek 4D3N
Very pleased with Harka and the team’s great service throughout our Poon Hill Trek 4D3N. 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.
Fantastic time doing the Poon Hill Trek
Thank you, Harka for the wonderful arrangement of the trek. Our guide Surpa was very
attentive and Romesh was also a great porter. They took care of us and the trip was
smoothly carried following the itinerary. From food to accommodation to a private
bathroom and private shower in 2 of 3 places, we were well taken care of. 5 stars for a
well-organized Poon Hill Trek.

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.
