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.

Amazing, amazing, amazing
We did a 4 day/3 night trek with Ram. From the start everything was fantastic. Bishnu answered every question in the lead up to the trek patiently. The places we stayed had amazing views and food was great. Ram, our guide, looked after our every need...getting us extra blankets, bringing us tea and encouraging us when the going got tough! He is patient and a wealth if knowledge. I would defo recommend this company and Ram as a guide.

The best experience!
Amazing experience! Ram was the best guide who looked after us for the whole trip! We stayed in such beautiful tea houses on the trip where we were served great food and tea! Ram helped us with anything we were finding hard including carrying one of our coats! He also always let us know the plan for the day and let us go at our own pace....experiencing the views and environment around us. We loved it! The certificate collection from Kathmandu at the end was also such a bonus and nice gift for memories (including the t-shirt!) Highly recommend this company and this trek.

Great trek to Poon Hill with Bishnu
Great experience trekking to Poon Hill Ghorepani with the guide Bishnu. He will accommodate you and make sure that you are well and have everything you need and will do the trek at your pace. The accommodation and food is great. It was very beautiful and I recommend this tour to anyone. 5 stars!

Incredible holiday with my friends, brilliant company, best guide, Ram leading us to amazing views and beautiful stays
This was my first experience of Nepal and hiking at such heights. The whole package was such an incredible experience and I will never forget some of the sensational sights I have now witnessed. I travelled with a group of friends, with all of us facing personal challenges to take a breath and see another wow piece of scenery and feel so lucky to be there…and to walking to the next animal fix, village beauty, waterfall stroll .( without steps ;) We were fortunate to have the best guide, Ram, who led us well and offered amazing stays, patience, banter, laughs, phrases, extra blankets and card games - he could do our trail running backwards. It was so eye opening to learn about mountain side culture and community and it was humbling to be a part of that for a glimpse. It was tough but so worth it for mesmerising sights. My favourite moment might be the sunrise at Poon Hill with a hot cup of masala tea - every 5 minutes was a different view - magical. If you’re thinking about it do it and our company were the best, particularly Ram. We even got a named certificate- I love a certificate! Thanks for providing us with one of my top holidays yet.

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 34 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?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Poon Hill Trek package?
+
Around 12 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 Private Kathmandu Sightseeing Tour | UNESCO World Heritage sites, Manaslu Circuit Trek, Classic Everest Base Camp Trek. 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.
