    Magnificent 3-week tour of Nepal

    We met Sujan at the Holiday Expo in the Netherlands and asked him to make an itinerary for 3 weeks in Nepal. This resulted in a very nice personalized programme. Sujan had arranged everything into detail, from hotels, private transport, trekking guides, to bike rental places. Even when our flight was cancelled and our arrival delayed by 3 days, Sujan rescheduled our full trip so that we did not miss anything. We are greatly thankful to Alpine Club of Himalaya to take away all our worries and organize this unforgettable trip.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, Namaste and greetings from Alpine Club of Himalaya!!! Thank you for sharing about your experience as a member of our tour group. We are glad that you have enjoyed your holiday with our arrangements of the best itinerary to cater to your want to do list of activities and the places/regions you like to visit while in Nepal.

    Thailand Trek - Northern Hill Tribes - Mirror Foundation, Chiang Rai

    This four night trek was one of the best experiences out of our month long trip. We wanted to see another culture, and get some exercise and we got exactly that! First off are you fit enough to do this? Well, it was fairly arduous walking but if you are moderately fit you will be fine. The heat makes it much harder and there is a fair bit of up and down. To give you an idea of how hard it is - on our hardest day we walked for 13 kilometres, ascended 1,100 metres and descended 600 meters, and it was hot at about 30 Celsius. We are a reasonably fit couple in our 60s and found it fine. An advantage of being tired at the end of the day is that you sleep better! Which brings me to the accommodation. What we were after was an understanding of a different culture and we certainly got that. It was a joy to be in a house with the daily activities just going on around us. Because there was only the two of us we didn’t feel that we were changing the balance of daily life in the house. We stayed in three different houses all of which we enjoyed. That said, the more remote Lahu village that we stayed in for two nights was the stand-out experience. The food was exceptionally good. We ate rice, very fresh vegetables, salads leaves, bamboo, fish, and chilli sauce. Watching the cooking take place was part of the low key drama we enjoyed so much. I’m not normally a fan of too much spicy heat, but I developed a fondness for the chilli sauce that always accompanied the rice. The trip worked so well because our guide was so good. He was considerate and knowledgable, often commenting on the plants as we walked. A pleasant surprise was that at the end of our first day a second guide joined us. He was equally courteous and seemed to know people every where. The guides’ deep knowledge of the area was obvious, both of the plants and the people we met. Something that we came to see as a bonus was that we were not really sure what was happening next. There was always a plan, it was just that we didn’t always know what it was. Once we had decided to relax and just go with the flow this worked very well for us. Our guide’s English was good, but didn’t really extend to a back and forth conversation. Some aspects of the walk were better than others. In our first accommodation we were in an annex at the back of the house which was good, but not the stellar experience in our house for the following two nights where we were part of the circle sitting round the fire in the middle of the house, not understanding a word of the lively conversation but enjoying its ebb and flow. Just before the enjoyable boat trip back down to Chiang Rain we were shown the elephants; I understand that they are popular with many but we thought it was pretty sad to see such magnificent animals shackled and shifting constantly from leg to leg. Overall this trip easily scored 5 out of 5 for us.

    Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.

    How much does Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS cost?

    +

    Prices start at $999 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kathmandu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS take?

    +

    Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kathmandu is not rushed.

    Is Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kathmandu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS?

    +

    Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kathmandu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kathmandu and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kathmandu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kathmandu?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Kathmandu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Kathmandu Sightseeing | UNESCO World Heritage sites Private/Group, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek: Private Group & Discounte Price. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kathmandu?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kathmandu?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS?

    +

    Included: Welcome and Farewell Meals and Breakfasts while in Kathmandu; Salary, food, insurance and lodging cost for guide and porter ( 2 Trekkers-1 Porter ); 3 Nights stay in Tea House during trek.It means, sharing Bathroom; During the Trek, we will have Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Tea/Coffee each time only; and National Park Permit and TIMS for Annapurna.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 195 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS?

    +

    Is Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek – 5 DAYS wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
