Amazing Poon Hill Trek with Nepal Trek Hub!
We had an incredible experience trekking to Poon Hill with Nepal Trek Hub! A huge thank you to the team—Mr. Shree Ram, Mr. Nabaraj, and our porter Ashuk—for their exceptional service and dedication. From the very beginning, they helped us plan everything according to our needs, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey. They went above and beyond to find the best accommodations, ensuring we had enough food, proper rest, and a comfortable stay throughout the trek. Their patience, support, and attentiveness made a huge difference, allowing us to fully enjoy the breathtaking views and the trekking experience. A special mention to Mr. Nabaraj, who took great care of all our needs and ensured everything was perfectly arranged. We have no regrets choosing Nepal Trek Hub, and we highly recommend them to anyone planning a trek in Nepal! We are already looking forward to our next adventure—to Mardi Himal—with our young children, and without a doubt, we will be trekking again with Nepal Trek Hub! Thank you once again for an unforgettable journey! 🌄🏔️

Poon Hill Trek with children
We did the 5-day Poon Hill trek with our daughters (ages 4 and 8), and choosing Nepal Trek Hub to organize it was a great decision. Sheeram planned everything in detail and also served as our guide, assisting us at all times to ensure we had everything we needed. The two porters (Arun and Ram Kumar) who accompanied us did an amazing job; the effort and dedication of these young men are truly admirable. Additionally, Sheeram organized our subsequent trip to Chitwan, which turned out to be wonderful. Without a doubt, we highly recommend Nepal Trek Hub for your trip to the Himalayas.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Poon Hill Trek: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Poon Hill Trek cost?
+
Prices start at $450 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 Poon Hill Trek take?
+
Plan for about 168 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 Poon Hill Trek worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Poon Hill 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 Poon Hill Trek suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Poon Hill Trek?
+
Around 6 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 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Poon Hill 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.

Does Poon Hill Trek include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Kathmandu. Be ready about 180 minutes before the start time.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Poon Hill Trek?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Poon Hill Trek if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Poon Hill Trek?
