Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is a relatively easy and short trip, but it offers exquisite views of the pristine Himalayas and the chance to mix up with ethnic groups. The Ghorepani poon hill trekking is very popular among visitors to Nepal since it is easy to get to from Pokhara.

The highest point of the trek is Poon Hill, which offers breathtaking sunrise and sunset views. Visiting Poon Hill in the morning allows you to witness the mesmerizing phenomenon of the sun rising and take in the mind-boggling aspects of the snow-capped mountains. The Poon Hill trek, spanning just 4-5 days, offers a delightful insight into the Annapurna region.

On the other hand, this trail serves as a shortcut between the Around Annapurna trek and the Annapurna Base Camp. The path to success is often fraught with obstacles, including trees, rivers, and rocky terrains. Besides that, the warm welcome by the region's inhabitants offers insight into their way of living.

It is as impressive as the beautiful views that surround trekkers. However, the ascents are significantly steeper here, and the paths are muddier. But the perspectives of Dhaulagiri, Annapurna South, and others are truly worth it.

Upper mustang trek

I did this trek in Upper Mustang with my sisters, and it was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, and we truly enjoyed every part of the journey. I also highly recommend kumar as a guide – he was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the trek even more special. A truly unforgettable adventure!

A wonderful experience!

I did the Phoksundo Lake trek with Kumar and it was a superb experience. It is an adventure, so you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone, but Kumar always adapts to the unexpected and makes the trip as enjoyable as possible! The landscapes are magnificent, you meet lots of people along the way, and you really push your limits! Kumar is an excellent guide attentive, friendly, and his prices are very fair!

Best company best guide

I recently did an annapurna curcit with my brother and his girlfriend. It was an amazing trek with the help of kumar and his team . It was one of the best experience of our life . The annapurna curcit is the best of the treks that people can choose for. I sincerely recommend this company for other travellers.

Impressive tent trekking Dolpo 2023

The 18-day Lower and Upper Dolpo tour was individually tailored to our needs by Kumar. Kumar had put together a great team of guide, cook and mule guide. This team fulfilled all of our wishes at all times during the entire tent trek. Narsang, our guide, is very attentive and careful along the entire route. Kumar is very reliable. He looked after us very well in the preparation and execution of our trek and during our stay in Kathmandu right up to the farewell at the airport. A highly recommended local company when it comes to individually planning a trekking tour. The trip was a great experience. Chris and Hajo

Honest & Friendly

Our non-profit organisation needed a local tour guide to help with our local guide and logistics. After much research, we engaged with Kumar. During our 4 days trip, Kumar demonstrated excellent local knowledge, punctuality, friendliness. During the trip he never tried to sale us anything. And with a charitable and kind heart, he did not even charge us for this ngo trip. thank you so much.

Reliable and responsible

I was very lucky to have Kumar to arrange our 5 day stay in Nepal. From the pick up at the airport to showing up punctually every morning at the hotel lobby, everything was smooth and hassle free. Kumar is a friendly and kind-hearted gentleman who genuinely wants to help visitors to experience the best of Nepal. Will definitely choose Himalayan Exploration for my next trekking.
