  • rating starPoon hill trekking - AMAZING Views and overall experience

    Poon Hill Trekking was such a beautiful and rewarding 5 day trek! I highly recommend it to anyone with a decent level of fitness, although Day 2 was quite tough. My personal favorite day was day 3 because it was much more scenic and got a chance to encountered with high Himalaya from top of Pool hill 3210m with sunrise above the mountains but early morning hike to poon hill from Ghorepani (2860m) made us little tired but our guide encouraged us to walk another 4h more to Tada Pani to see another views of Annapurna and we all were ready to not miss that.. We got amazing views from all the journey but we were not very fit since it was our first trek in life.
    The breathtaking views along the way are incomparable. I can say Nepal is a land of natural beauty but kathmandu is noisy but many things to see, we went with the trekking tour company Himalayan Recreation and a blast!

    I and my 3 friends were planning to go to Nepal for a short trek and I was confused about what to do because there are so many companies. I found this Himalayan Recreation Treks via my friend and she suggested I travel with them because of their best-ever service. After I started to inquire about Himalayan Recreation through their website and a tour manager from that company Mr. Bishnu Thapa responded to me within 15 minutes and suggested I for make my best trekking itinerary and I did as he said. He recommended we trek in Poon Hill for 6 days and told us this is one of best viewer trekking in Nepal I choose this plan for 6 days with them, They provide us very experienced guide Mr. Bharat who speaks really well English and is well known about that all place. Bharat Made even better our Nepal trip. We were really satisfied with this all our services and guides, So now I would like to recommend this company because of their highly professional team who can make your tour plan according to people's needs and desires. Next year I and my other 7 friends are coming to Everest Base camp and I have already spoken with Bishnu Thapa to arrange this trip and should give us the same Guide Mr. Bharat.

    My first visit to Nepal was a life time experience. Bishnu Thapa from Himalayan Recreation was a reason why that experience was the best possible. He made sure our 4 day trek was all taken care and we did not have to worry about absolutely anything. Our guide for the trip Ashok was the best guide became part of the group within a day and treated us like life long friends rather than customers yet stayed professional at all times making sure we got everything we need. I will come back to Nepal some day and Himalayan Recreation will be company I will hire for next expedition.

    My first visit to Nepal but definitely not the last one! We stayed 4 days in Kathmandu, flew to Pokhara and then did the Poon Hill trek. They took care of our entire stay, from picking us up when we arrived, booking hotels and activities to dropping us off at the airport at the end, and we couldn't be happier. Everything was very well organized and our guide Ashok was phenomenal! We felt like he went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. It was an amazing experience and I recommend Ashok to anyone who is considering any kind of trek in Nepal!
