Family Holiday in Nepal - Ghorepani and Poon Hill Trek
My husband booked a family trip to Nepal through Luxury Holidays. We were extremely impressed with the service and communication from Resham throughout our stay. He was willing to accommodate some changes to our itinerary. I highly recommend Luxury Holidays. One of our highlights in Nepal was our 5 day trek to Ghorepani and Poon Hill. It was a challenging trek for me, and getting a cold added to the challenge. We were so blessed to have Ram Prasad Lamichhane as our guide. His expertise made me feel safe every step of the way - and there were many steps on this trek😄 He was patient, helpful and kind. Due to my cold getting worse, he adapted the trek which allowed me to complete it by foot. We had fun too, and had lots to talk about. I am ever so grateful for Ram, and our amazing porter, Tika, who was also so helpful and kind. The memories of our trek will be with me always.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We are thrilled to hear that your family trip to Nepal and the Ghorepani–Poon Hill trek were so memorable. Ram Prasad and Tika will be delighted to know that their guidance, patience, and care made you feel safe and supported throughout the challenging trek, even with your cold. It’s heartening to hear that you enjoyed the journey and created lasting memories along the way. We’re also glad that Resham was able to assist with itinerary changes and provide excellent service during your stay. Your kind recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you and your family back for more unforgettable adventures in Nepal! Warm regards, Luxury Holidays Nepal Team

I’ve always wanted to go to Nepal and using luxury holidays has been an absolute pleasure and trouble free journey. The 5 day trek was brilliant and we were lucky enough to have Ram as our guide and Tika as a porter. Ram’s advice and help was invaluable over the 5 days and really made the trek what it was.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We are thrilled to hear that your family trip to Nepal was smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Ram and Tika will be delighted to know that their guidance and support made your 5-day trek so special. It’s wonderful to hear that the trek lived up to your expectations and created lasting memories. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in Nepal!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ghorepani Poonhill Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Ghorepani Poonhill Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $699 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 Poonhill Trek take?
+
Plan for about 264 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 Poonhill Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Poonhill Trek?
+
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 Poonhill Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ghorepani Poonhill Trek?
+
Around 3 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 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ghorepani Poonhill Trek 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.
