Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

We are a Norwegian family with 2 boys aged 8 and 10. We have been walking the mountains in Norway and Austria since the boys were very small. This year we wanted to do something very special with the kids.

We were curious about Nepal and started our research about the country. We soon realized there were so many companies to choose from. When traveling with kids you are extra cautious, and really want to make the right decision when choosing a company. For many days we read “about us” articles from many companies, and then we come across My Everest Trip. The company had existed for many years, the manager was not just a person in a suit doing business he was also a very experienced guide and they had very good reviews. I send him an email and the next morning I woke up the already responded.

We decided to do the Ghorepani Poon Hill, this is a very popular trek but suitable for kids and it gave us the opportunity the see Pokhara also and try paragliding.

Poon Hill was a good choice. Puru gave us very good guides and porters. The trek was a good mix of beautiful nature and cultural experience. The kids were so happy, that they quickly had a good connection with the porters, developing their own way of communication. The sunrise from Poon Hill was spectacular on a clear morning. The landscapes offer so much beauty, from the softness of the rhododendron forests to the roughness of the snow-covered mountains. It was fun to visit the Gurung cultural museum, as we try to teach our kids that people live in many different ways.
Doing this trek was very good family time and the service was great. Because we did not have to worry about anything we could just enjoy every minute of our journey.
We would like to thank Puru and his great team for a fantastic vacation in Nepal and we highly recommend My Everest Trip.

Best regards from Geir

I had a wonderful time in Nepal and trekked in the mountains on My Everest Trip. Everything worked perfectly for the nine days Poon hill trip, and the price was excellent.

Doing a trek in Nepal has been one of the best experiences in my life. And I couldn’t choose a better agency than My Everest Trip. I don’t say this just because Puru and Ratna are really professionals, but also because they are very kind and generous people. I was very fortunate to have both of them as guides on two different trips and I could notice that both share that same philosophy of teaching you how to walk the road safely, quietly, and happy. They are very patient and always try to take care of you.

Puru is the owner, he has vast experience and he knows very well the treks and tours offered, in addition, he is always open to making the adjustments you need and takes care of you as much as possible. And all his team participates in this style. For my next treks, I will not hesitate to hire their services.

Puru guided my sister and me on a three-day trek to Poon Hill on the Annapurna Range. I trek a lot, and this was hands down the best trekking experience of my life. We walked through incredible rain forests and hillside Buddhist temples in gorgeous villages accessible only by foot and reached Poon Hill summit for a stunning view of the Himalayas.

We met with some other travellers along the way and became lifelong friends. Puru is an incredible guy who knows every inch of those trials, a thoughtful, well-mannered, and genuine person you can easily trust. He’s also fun and can show you a good time, which matters on those long trails. He even helped me get over my fear of leeches! We remain close friends to this day.

For us ( 3 people, of who 1 couple) it’s been very nice trekking, which has fit our expectations and needs.
The guide, Ishwor, Was special. Many thanks to him and to Puru for the very nice organization. Just one little suggestion to improve the journey, it is possible to take a jeep from Pokhara to the trekking start point (and vice versa) it could be better for the state of the road, also if are needed some dollars more.

Thanks again and I will highly recommend this company and guide to ishower.

It was my first trekking tour experience and even if at the beginning of the first day it seemed to be a mission impossible for me, thanks to our special guide Ishwor, everything went great!!!

Ishwor has a big experience in Poon Hill Trekking and he’s a really kind and professional guy; he takes care of us for every request.

Nepal is a great place to visit at least once in a lifetime!
Most people there are friendly, kind and helpful. The terrain differs from the Southern National Forest of Chitwan National Park to the valley and river from Chitwan to Pokhara and, of course, to the mountain ranges in the North. And so is the diversity of the weather in the mountain area; it could be bright & sunny in the morning, turning into overcast, dark clouds, rain, heavy rain, and then a hail storm in the mountains. We were blessed to only have a relatively light and short taste of hail storms in 2 of the late afternoons. This is also exciting to experience quite the extremes within the same day.
We also love seeing the different trees, flowers, insects, animals, kids, and rock sediments…Besides enjoying nature, we also visited several World Heritage Sites and were even in time to experience the Holi Festival. There were also opportunities to visit orphanages and meet exciting people worldwide.
We were grateful to have excellent guides arranged for our journeys. We had a young but knowledgeable and wise tour guide in Chitwan to show us around patiently and take us bird watching early in the morning. Our trekking guide, Mr Puru Thapaliya, was also an excellent and experienced trekker; he was kind enough to cook for us lest we starve. Without him, I wouldn’t be able to reach Poonhill.
For one of a kind experience, thanks again!

Puru was a fantastic guide! Knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely helpful. He had many good ideas but was flexible in meeting our needs. He even went above and beyond to arrange additional travel for us. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a guide while trekking.
