Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek (4-5 days walking)

Very professional and nice guides with a good network. I felt all over the time in best hands. Thank you for having joy from beginning till end.

Don’t look any further and book your trek with these guys. You won’t regret it.

Nepalorama is a fantastic organization and team. Especially if it’s your first time trekking in Nepal, you want someone who is trustworthy, friendly, knowledgeable and organized to help you. Every person in the company I’ve interacted with is all those things.

They balance professionalism and warmth very well. By that I mean they do the practical job of arranging all logistical details immaculately (even when unexpected weather cancels all domestic flights), but are also highly good-natured and authentic people. You end up spending several hours with your guide and porter, and having people that you’re not only comfortable around but also have fun with makes all the difference.

My friend and I happened to on our trek with Bibek and Shanker. They were both lovely – funny, kind, patient and full of enthusiasm to help you enjoy their beautiful country. I trust all the other members of the Nepalorama team are also special in their own way.

My friend and I booked a private 5-day trek to Ghorepani/Poon Hill with Bibek as our guide and Shankar as our porter for our first visit to Nepal. It was an absolutely INCREDIBLE, life-changing experience and I cannot wait to go back to Nepal and trek again with the Nepalorama team. I would say we not only had a wonderful vacation and got to discover all the beauty of Nepal and its people, but we also made a genuine connection with Bibek and Shankar. We enjoyed our time with them so much, and everything they taught us about the Himalayan region, about their culture and language, Nepali food (dal bhat !! ), how to do things “Nepali style” and lots of wisdoms for life. They were incredible guides through the mountains, but also through the whole first experience of getting to know Nepal.

On a practical note, Nepalorama was extremely professional in the organization and booking of our itinerary, as well as so helpful when we ran into some weather issues which cancelled 2 of our flights to Pokhara. Bibek and Krishna made sure to take care of everything so that we didn’t have any stress on our holiday — we made it to Pokhara by car and had a great trek, even though we had to push things back by one day due to heavy rains. It was no problem and we were so glad they were there to help us still have the best holidays, rain or shine!

Everyone at Nepalorama is so kind and helpful and they really want to share a great experience of Nepal with anyone who goes on their treks. They made sure we were happy and comfortable the whole time, and they chose really great hotels and teahouses where the people were always friendly and welcoming. They even invited us to a fun evening after the celebration dinner to watch some traditional Nepali dancing and hear Nepali music, which was amazing! We had such a fun time exchanging about our cultures, sharing our favorite music, dances, foods, and life perspectives. Thank you SO MUCH to Anna, Krishna, Bibek and Shankar for one of the best trips of my life <3 you guys are simply awesome.

We are family of 4 [2 daughters aged 9 and 10 years old and two somewhat-fit middle-aged parents] from the United States who visited Nepal in March 2022. We took a 6 night, 6 day hike [the poon hill route] with Krishna Adhikari and his brother Shiva as porter… It was a fantastic experience – Krishna was the perfect guide for our family – he was sensitive to the needs of the slower adults (!!) and kept a perfect pace for our speedy daughters who raced up the hills! He also knew exactly where to stay and found tea-houses that were a perfect fit for our family. We all loved the experience and found him to be a fantastic guide. He was an especially good guide for families and was responsive to all of our needs/interests and speed. I WOULD THOROUGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.

Almost 2 years ago we decided to go on a private trekking tour with Nepalorama. Anna supported us very patiently and competently during the planning. The Nepalorama team managed the rescheduling due to Covid very well.

The hospitality of Nepalorama was outstanding. It started with a warm welcome on the airport by Krishna, continued during the whole trek by our experienced guide Bibek and our mindful porter Naren and ended with a fare well dinner in a lovely restaurant in Kathmandu with Krishna and Bibek.. Bibek always organized the best available room for us and has always taken care of our physical well-being.

During the trek we enjoyed the flexibility of the Nepalorama team to adjust the routing if needed – because of closed accommodations, weather conditions or because we liked to stay one more night at a certain place.

We loved the trekking in the Upper Mustang area due to the beautiful but in winter times barren landscape. The view on the mountains is amazing, the culture is interesting, and we have met only two other foreigner tourists – a real private tour. In wintertime the temperature can be a challenge as also indoor the temperature remains very low and the water can freeze during nighttime.
The added Poon Hill trek was on lower altitude and therefore much greener with a completely different landscape. It was interesting seeing also this area of Nepal. Due to the season and Covid this tour was also very quiet with only some Nepalese tourists.

Our only criticism is the porter’s shoes. We were surprised that he had only city sneakers although we also had to go longer distances through snow at altitudes above 4000 MASL.

We can clearly recommend Nepalorama as a trekking operator in Nepal! Although the difficult circumstances due to Covid restrictions everything was organized very well and we are happy that we took the opportunity to do this trek with Nepalorama!

I went to Poon hill on Nov-Dec, Krishna and his team (porter) was guide for us.
we already told him, it is the frist time for us trekking.
So when we trekking with his team, they was take care us very careful for go up up
and down down with warm and pleased us, I could walk slow and took a rest when ever we wanted.
If we did not choose them we cannot go through with happiness on top nice view mountain this time
From my heart to thank them with good take care and done everything for us that requested.

I went for Annapurna trekking last month and the best decision that I ever made in regards to the trek was choosing Nepalorama to organize the trek.
I got their reference from one of the posts in Trip Advisor.
All the communications were through email and Anna was responsive and prompt in her replies. They helped me in identifying the best options for me creating the best itinerary that is best suited to my schedule.
Once I landed in KTM, Krishna welcomed me at the airport and took me to the Hotel. He also explained the current weather condition and was informed about the changes we may have to make in the itinerary based on the weather condition.
Ramesh was my guide and he was great for me. The guy was very friendly and helpful.
The plan was to do ACT but when we reached NAWAL, it started snowing and the high pass was not accessible in that weather condition. So based on the situation, we decided to revert back to Pokhara and do a Ghorepani/poonhill trek which was accessible.
The package included B&B, lunch and dinner. All my accommodations were the best option in the given scenario.
The team coordinated all the changes so well that none of the changes caused any issues during the whole trip.
I am so happy that I went with Nepalorama and I have already day dreaming about doing EBC with team next year.
Thanks Ramesh Anna and Krishna. You guys were rocking.

This is our first time abroad trekking it’s better than I expected Anna gave me a lot of preparation information. The trek was very nice. Ramesh and his team are very friendly helpful and professional. I would recommend Nepalorama trekking to everyone.
Thank you so much and hope to see you again in next year.

We took the Poon Hill Circuit Trek with Krishna and it was amazing!
Krishna was an awesome guide, he took good care of me and our trekking group and catered our trek to our needs.
We changed our itinerary last minute and he was happy to assist us. Being the slightly less fit one in the group, Krishna made sure I didn’t get left behind!

The accommodations was great, the food was good and the company was perfect!
I would recommend anyone to take a trek with Krishna!
