For the travelers who have a short holiday or weekend plan to visit the Himalayas 3 days Poon Hill trek is the best option. It is a short and family-friendly trek in Nepal. The trek is relatively easy and yet, filled with adventurous thrill. It is suitable for those who are reasonably fit.

The very next day from Ulleri, we continue trekking through the rhododendron forests to Ghorepani village, which is the highlight of our trip as we get there by walking through pretty tough uphill and downhill trails, via streams, jungles, and farming lands. Ghorepani is a beautiful and prepossessing village with nice and homely lodges, friendly people and the view of the great range of Annapurna looming about throughout the year.

3 days hiking to Poon Hill will make you witness a beautiful and spectacular sunrise view from Poon Hill (3,250 m) as well as the brilliant views of the Himalayas including the Annapurna range, Mount Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Mount Fishtail and many more white snow-capped mountains.

Wonderful Ghorepani Poon Hill trek - 3 days

Because it was our first trek and we only had 3 days, we booked the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek on the recommendation of our friends. We had a fantastic trek with our guide Amit. Everything was really well organized. The only thing we regretted is that we had not booked a longer trek, but now we have another reason to go back. It was a relaxed, fun week. Highly recommended. Ram Kumar arranged everything perfectly and we also had a lot of contact with him during the trek.

A stunning 3 day Poon Hill trek with Binaya and Durba

We just completed a stunning 3 day Poon Hill trek with Binaya and Durba that was arranged through Alpine Eco Trek. There were lots of agencies out there in Kathmandu but Alpine Eco Trek won our confidence initially with Ram's quick and professional responses to me and his willingness to adjust our plans to match our needs and expectations. All my communications with Ram was very detailed and professional. The final result was a truly memorable trek at a very affordable cost that exceeded all of our expectations. We would absolutely recommend Ram and his company Alpine Eco Trek.

Ram is a great help for Poon Hill trek 3 days

Although our group only booked a three-day Poon Hill trek with Ram, I am very grateful to him for helping us a lot during our stay in Nepal. The Poon Hill trek was excellent, we had a very professional and friendly guide Durba, and very strong porter Rajan. Food and accommodation during the trek were outstanding. We enjoyed chat with Durba, from which we also understood the local customs and cultures. We recommend Ram and his team to our friends and families and will come back soon for another trek off course with Ram.

The three day Poon Hill Trek with Alpine Eco

We recently had a fantastic trek with Ramesh from Alpine Eco in the Annapurna region of Nepal. He was a very considerate guide and our whole experience with Alpine Eco was excellent from the start to end. We strongly recommend this trek to everyone with limited time, good for a weekend holiday.

We did the Poon Hill trekking with Ram Kumar

We highly recommend Alpine Eco Trek for those who want to do trekking with a guide through this company. Ram Kumar is the owner of the company and at the same time the guide for big groups, he said. As per his conversations with us, it looks like he has many good guides in his company. We were a group of 14 from Spain and lucky to have him as our guide. We were doing the Poon Hill trekking with him and he is a very professional and attentive guide with all your doubts. Know all the trails and all the people who live on the road perfectly. He is also a super cheerful person, very nice. And, the porters were also excellent, carried our packs, always smiling and eager to help and make some fun. If one day we go back to Nepal to do trekking, of course, I will go with him. He also operates Tibet and Kailash, we did Kailash overland 10 days tour after Poon Hill trekking. Thanks, Ram and the entire team at Alpine Eco Trek.

3 days 2 nights Poon Hill Trek

We, a group of 7 fellows from Singapore arrived in Kathmandu on the 1st Dec and even though it was already 11 pm, Ram picked us up from the airport and drove us to our hotel in Thamel. He was very welcoming, assuring and had organized everything for us. On the 2rd in the evening, we met with Ramesh who was our guide, we asked a lot of questions about the hiking gears, food, accommodations and trekking trails he answered very penitently and professionally, we were already very happy to have him as our guide for the next days. On 3rd we started our journey to Pokhara and continued on with the 3 days Poon Hill trek. Ramesh and Dhurba were very friendly, flexible and accommodating to our needs. Ramesh was also very informative about the region, mountains and people and their mountain culture. We really enjoyed our trip to Nepal and especially the trek because of wonderful people like Ram, Ramesh, and Dhurba who took very good care of us. Will 10 out of 10 recommend them and will look for them for the future treks. Thank you, team.

Family friendly Poon Hill trek

Alpine Eco Trek met our expectations and more on a one and a half week trip to Nepal. I can particularly recommend them to travelers with children, we took our 11 year old son with us and guide Ram and porter Dhansing made his time fun and memorable. On our trek, they happily played football, cricket, running races, volleyball and a tabletop me I do not know the name of Ram made sure everything ran smoothly, taking care of us, nothing was too much trouble. The trip was great value compared to UK based tours, Chitwan National Park very good, Kathmandu colorful and interesting, our 3 day trek to Poon Hill was fabulous, but particularly for our son getting to know Ram and Dhansing will be what we remember most. The tour was private so we were not in a large trekking group. We booked from the UK, emails were answered quickly and the tour exceeded our expectations. If we ever go back we would be sure to go with Alpine Eco Trek, maybe Annapurna base camp next time.
