My wife and I completed the Poon Hill Trek through Team Himalaya. This was our second trip to Nepal with Raj and Team Himalaya. We used Raj and his team again because we had a fantactic trip last time. Trekking was enjoyable, and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide Dawa was brilliant, very knowledgable and caring. He communicated effectively before the trek began. Then, during the trek, he made sure we were comfortable and had the best experience. Providing clear explanations, ensuring we felt comfortable during the trek. They took such great care of us every step of the way. I cannot recommend them enough!

I just wanted to say that we all had a fantastic time – it was truly an amazing journey and a wonderful experience.
Our guide Dawa was excellent very good, knowledgeable and funny. Overall, it was an amazing experience I will never forget. Looking forward to trek once more with this team in the future. Can't recommend this experience highly enough.
We were planning to trek in Nepal for the first time. Choosing a company took us time. Through our friend, we found out about Team Himalaya and enquired. Raj, the main man, helped us right from the beginning by matching activities within the trip so that they best suited our style and expectations.
We decided the Annapurna Base trek.The views en route, of the mountains of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and of sunrise and sunset from Poonhill Base Camp were breathtaking.
We want to thank Team Himalaya and the team for the wonderful experience in Nepal. Small company and but great service, highly recommended
We hade a 7 day trekking tour along Ghorepani trek. Our team had 4 girls with little experience of trekking, however Ganas had supported us a lot with trekking stuffs and preparations for the route.
We were not lucky enough to be able to see sunrise at Poon Hill due to rain and clouds, still, the guide tried his best with other recommendations so that we can satisfy our thirst for spectacular snow mountain view. Ganas is also very experienced and knowledgable about Nepal and trek routes, talking with him was quite informative. The porters are friendly and cutie as well :)
One recommendation for unexperienced trekker is that you should let the guide know in advance for more suited trek route and schedule and better preparation.
We were quite happy with rooms, meals and other services included in the tour.
Thanks Ganas.
We started out trip with Zero experience in trekking. With suggestion from Ganesh we decided to trek to Poon Hill as a start for beginner like us. At start most of us felt unconfident, however with huge support from Team Himalaya we did it. Missed the sun rise on Poon Hill due to the rain but still had ton of beautiful pics and memories. Thank Ganesh and other guys in Team Himalaya for taking care of us during the time we stayed in Nepal, not only within the tour package but also additional days we spent in Kathmandu, Nagatuk, and Bhaktapur. Looking forward to see you again in Nepal. Cheers.
The best guide you can hire. They are so caring and know exactly what you need. They know where is the best place to have the marvelous view of the mountain. Totally satisfied with the tour.
One of very important thing, they well prepare for first aid facilities, safety is very important in trekking.
If you are thinking of hiking in Nepal, Raj is one of the best guides you can possibly have. With his knowledge of the routes paths, and people - he will take you on a cultural experience as you enjoy the beauty of the mountains. I will definitely be returning one fine day and calling upon Raj's expertise to plan my trip :)
Fantastic guide. Very professional company. Had an amazing time. Would definitely use again. Highly recommended!
Ghorepani and Poon Hill trek in 4 days covering Poon Hill one of the short and easy trek. But not that easy as it sounds with some steep climb for some days especially the uphill to Ulleri village. As well an hour climb up to Poon Hill, but it was a wonderful trek once you reach on top Poon Hill at 3,210 m high.
Where we enjoyed stunning sunrise over chain of Himalayan peaks with world’s three highest mountain range. From Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu Himalaya. The walk was pleasant through beautiful rhododendron forest and lovely villages of Ghorepani and Ghandruk. I am grateful to Team Himalaya and its expert guide for making this trip so wonderful and exciting.
Ghorepani and Poon Hill, most amazing trek even though was short moderate adventure of 4 days. But every hour of walks was just wonderful with mesmerizing scenery, overlooking grand views of farm land with snow-capped peaks. I would like to recommend to all visitors in Nepal to join on this marvelous hike of few days. Where all people and age group can easily cope, the only hardest section was climb on thousands of stone steps. But overall the trek was just fabulous, the views from Ghorepani was brilliant, as well from high Poon Hill.
The sunrise was breathtaking facing panorama of snow-capped of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu with majestic Machhapuchare Himal, the famous Fish-Tail peak.
Thanks to Team Himalaya and guide for the memorable and enjoyable Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.
Enjoy the popular trekking and tour packages in Nepal Himalayas. 2023.

My wife and I completed the Poon Hill Trek through Team Himalaya. This was our second trip to Nepal with Raj and Team Himalaya. We used Raj and his team again because we had a fantactic trip last time. Trekking was enjoyable, and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide Dawa was brilliant, very knowledgable and caring. He communicated effectively before the trek began. Then, during the trek, he made sure we were comfortable and had the best experience. Providing clear explanations, ensuring we felt comfortable during the trek. They took such great care of us every step of the way. I cannot recommend them enough!

Trekking to Annapurna Nepal
19th Apr, 2022
We were planning to trek in Nepal for the first time. Choosing a company took us time. Through our friend, we found out about Team Himalaya and enquired. Raj, the main man, helped us right from the beginning by matching activities within the trip so that they best suited our style and expectations.
We decided the Annapurna Base trek.The views en route, of the mountains of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri and of sunrise and sunset from Poonhill Base Camp were breathtaking.
We want to thank Team Himalaya and the team for the wonderful experience in Nepal. Small company and but great service, highly recommended
Small company great service

We hade a 7 day trekking tour along Ghorepani trek. Our team had 4 girls with little experience of trekking, however Ganas had supported us a lot with trekking stuffs and preparations for the route.
We were not lucky enough to be able to see sunrise at Poon Hill due to rain and clouds, still, the guide tried his best with other recommendations so that we can satisfy our thirst for spectacular snow mountain view. Ganas is also very experienced and knowledgable about Nepal and trek routes, talking with him was quite informative. The porters are friendly and cutie as well :)
One recommendation for unexperienced trekker is that you should let the guide know in advance for more suited trek route and schedule and better preparation.
We were quite happy with rooms, meals and other services included in the tour.
Thanks Ganas.
Recommended for good services
15th Oct, 2020
We started out trip with Zero experience in trekking. With suggestion from Ganesh we decided to trek to Poon Hill as a start for beginner like us. At start most of us felt unconfident, however with huge support from Team Himalaya we did it. Missed the sun rise on Poon Hill due to the rain but still had ton of beautiful pics and memories. Thank Ganesh and other guys in Team Himalaya for taking care of us during the time we stayed in Nepal, not only within the tour package but also additional days we spent in Kathmandu, Nagatuk, and Bhaktapur. Looking forward to see you again in Nepal. Cheers.

Ghorepani and Poon Hill trek in 4 days covering Poon Hill one of the short and easy trek. But not that easy as it sounds with some steep climb for some days especially the uphill to Ulleri village. As well an hour climb up to Poon Hill, but it was a wonderful trek once you reach on top Poon Hill at 3,210 m high.
Where we enjoyed stunning sunrise over chain of Himalayan peaks with world’s three highest mountain range. From Dhaulagiri, Annapurna and Manaslu Himalaya. The walk was pleasant through beautiful rhododendron forest and lovely villages of Ghorepani and Ghandruk. I am grateful to Team Himalaya and its expert guide for making this trip so wonderful and exciting.

Ghorepani and Poon Hill, most amazing trek even though was short moderate adventure of 4 days. But every hour of walks was just wonderful with mesmerizing scenery, overlooking grand views of farm land with snow-capped peaks. I would like to recommend to all visitors in Nepal to join on this marvelous hike of few days. Where all people and age group can easily cope, the only hardest section was climb on thousands of stone steps. But overall the trek was just fabulous, the views from Ghorepani was brilliant, as well from high Poon Hill.
The sunrise was breathtaking facing panorama of snow-capped of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Manaslu with majestic Machhapuchare Himal, the famous Fish-Tail peak.
Thanks to Team Himalaya and guide for the memorable and enjoyable Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek.
