Adventure of a lifetime
Our trek with Gore was incredible. Although we had disruptions to the start with rain, we were able to condense our 8 day trek to Poon Hill and Annapurna base camp into 7. Gore managed to organise everything so calmly and efficiently. He always made sure we had the best tea houses to stay with the best food. We didn’t have to think of anything except putting one front in-front of the other and enjoying the view. He had so much knowledge of the surrounding areas and trails. He was more than just a guide, he was a great companion. Our porters, Keshab and Muncha were so considerate and kind and worked so hard! Before leaving, Bishnu was really helpful communicating what we needed too! It was such an incredible experience, thank you team!

best week of my life !
Wow! We had the best and most perfectly planned trip with our guide Gore. He knew the route like the back of his hand and booked us in all the best teahouses along the route. We had the most incredible rooms and he really sorted us out. He was so friendly and smiley and had lots of interesting information to share about Nepal and the ABC route. He let us go at our own pace and still we managed to have plenty of time in the evenings to relax. We will definitely be returning to Nepal and will be sure to book with Gore again. Cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you Gore ! Also special mention to the two lovely porters Moncha and Kshab, without them it would not have been possible either!

My first time in West Nepal
Bishnu was my guide and he was very helpful, he was on time, and checked in on me a lot. I recommend this company if you are wanting to explore Nepal, they provide good service. Poon Hill has incredibly beautiful views. I did 3 days but I highly recommend longer if you’d like to trek at a more leisurely pace.

Poon Hill 4 day trek experience
I’ve just finished the 4-day Poon Hill trek with my guide, Raj, and porter, Keshop, and I’m pleased to say that it was such a great experience. Nepal is an incredible country, with a hospitable and welcoming culture, and I felt that it was still safe to travel to despite the recent events. Raj and Keshop were incredibly supportive and encouraging throughout the trek, and I must give special praise and recognition to all the porters, who do such an incredible job for their clients. Nepal Hiking Adventures was easy to communicate with via WhatsApp, and they arranged all of my trekking documentation. One piece of feedback would be that communication could be better. However, two days before I was due to leave, they did message me to confirm that everything was in place. Prior to this, I had to send messages myself to reassure myself that everything had been arranged. The Poon Hill trek may be classed as “easy”, but I would definitely class it as moderate, requiring a good level of fitness to complete. Although I’m able to walk several miles comfortably on a flat surface, the changing terrain and steep inclines can make certain sections of the trek very challenging. In particular, the four-hour uphill trek along a steep staircase to Ulleri is a real test. The view from the top is definitely worth it, though. In order to give yourself the best chance of clear skies, I would recommend avoiding August and September and instead trying to go between November and January.

Amazing intro to hiking in Nepal
I had such an amazing experience with my guide Bishnu on the 3-day Poonhill hike! He was super welcoming and helped out with everything. I got lucky with being the only one in the group so had a private experience & it was the blooming season - so pretty. Also, even though the views were a bit cloudy sometimes, the trek was definitely worth it!! Definitely also beginner-friendly - no need to hike super fast.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Poon Hill Trek package: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kathmandu.
How much does Poon Hill Trek package cost?
+
Prices start at $410 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 package 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 Poon Hill Trek package worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 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 package?
+
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 package 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 Poon Hill Trek package?
+
Around 13 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 Poon Hill Trek package 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 Poon Hill Trek package?

Not included: All kinds of drinks and beverage during the trek; all kinds of personal expenses; and Tips for Guide/Potters. (expected). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is Poon Hill Trek package offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Poon Hill Trek package?
+

Is Poon Hill Trek package wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
