Incredible First Trekking Experience in Nepal
This was my first ever multi-day trek — I’ve done a lot of one-day hikes, but nothing like this. The Classic Poon Hill – Ghorepani Trek completely exceeded my expectations. Everything was stunning — we were lucky to see rhododendrons in full bloom, which made the trail feel magical. What I loved most was the variety: we walked through peaceful forests, rolling hills, charming villages — the scenery changed constantly, and every day felt fresh and exciting. The trek itself wasn’t too difficult, making it a perfect choice for beginner or intermediate trekkers looking to explore the beauty of Nepal.
A Trek Full of Natural Beauty and Local Culture
The Poon Hill sunrise is definitely a highlight — the view of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges glowing in morning light is something I’ll never forget. But there’s so much more to enjoy: the stone-paved paths, traditional tea houses, birdsong, and the calm rhythm of walking through the hills. It’s a short trek, but it really gives you a deep and colorful taste of what trekking in Nepal has to offer.
The Best Guide I Could Ask For
I was incredibly lucky to have Bhishan as my guide. From the first day, he made me feel safe and supported. His English is excellent, and he was always happy to explain local customs, answer questions, and share insights into Nepali life and culture. He made sure I was comfortable at every stop — finding the nicest available rooms, helping me order food, and just being attentive and thoughtful throughout. Toward the end of the trek, I twisted my ankle, and he quickly organized a jeep pickup to save me from walking further. I felt really well taken care of the entire time.
Highly Recommend This Company
I booked my trek through Nepal Independent Trekking Guide Cooperative, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was well organized, from communication to logistics. The whole trip felt personal, not commercial — more like being welcomed into someone’s country with care and pride. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and professional trekking company in Nepal, I’d absolutely recommend them.
