3 Days Poon Hill Trek

I highly recommend Alpine Eco trek. My husband and I did a 3 day Poon Hill trek with a guide and porter, it was fantastic. Well organised and professional, on the 3rd day there was snow on most of the path and I was ill so it was very difficult but our guide and porter were so helpful. Thank you, Ram and the entire team for a great trip.

We had a wonderful time, 4-6 hours a day walking, sleeping in cozy guesthouses. Our guides Thakur and Uttam were very friendly and helpful. Especially the Poon Hill is worth the walk up the mountain. It is a beautiful viewpoint, grand sunrise, and breathtaking Himalayan views. We had a great holiday, Thank you. 

We did the 3 days Poon Hill trek with alpine Eco trek in December. Our guide Ram was great and we had a beautiful sunset view at the top, I would definitely recommend this trek for everyone.  

We did 3 days of Poon Hill trek last March and it has been one of the best experiences in Nepal. Ram and his team are so nice, well-trained and worried about everything with us. One thing I must say is that they remained with a partner of mine who was asthmatic and could not do the hiking at the same speed as we did. He was with her, it does not matter if it was raining cat and dogs, always with her. All of us agree that we could not choose a better agency to be with those days. Thank you. 

8 of us ladies went on this beautiful trek this December 15 to 17. We had a wonderful mini adventure, thanks to Ram Kumar, Alpine Eco Trek, and his team. Everything went smoothly and as promised. From the very beginning, Ram Kumar answered all our queries promptly and professionally so we knew what to expect weather wise and terrain wise. The Guide Ram Gopal and his team were helpful friendly and respectful. The trek was a little hard on the first day, with us being beginners and the climb being steep for a couple of hours. It was amazingly beautiful throughout. The highlight was the early morning trek up the Poon Hill, sitting there sipping coffee and watching the sun come up. The walk through the villages and forest was lovely, the views from the restaurants we stopped along the way were breathtaking. On the way back we stayed for a day in Pokhara at the Mount Kailash Resort, which was close to the Fewa lake and some really good restaurants. We spent another day in Kathmandu sightseeing and shopping. It was super fun, thrilling and memorable trip thanks to the group of crazy and close friends that we went with, the excellent trip organizers of Alpine Eco Trek and the beautiful beautiful place. Would definitely recommend it. 

I contacted Ram about three weeks before our departure and he was very responsive and patiently answered all my questions. Our guide and porter, also called Ram and Durba respectively were excellent from the moment they picked us up at our hotel in Pokhara. I and my friend are females in our twenties and we both felt very safe with them. The tea houses are extremely basic in the mountains, we paid a little extra to have a private bathroom as most have a communal bathroom. Make sure you bring toilet roll as this is not provided anywhere. The tea houses are freezing cold at night so bring plenty of layers including a warm hat and a hot water bottle if you can. Also, ensure you bring local currency for any extras you wish to buy such as dessert or extra drinks. Another group we met on the trek who went with another tour group reached Ghorepani village on the second night and most of the guesthouses were booked up so they were walking around with their bags trying to find a place which would be extremely annoying when you are tired after trekking all day. I appreciated that Ram organized our guest houses in advance to ensure we got a room. Another point to mention is that we were quite shocked to see some porters from other companies were women and wearing flimsy flip flops for the climb while carrying a heavyweight on their backs which I do not think is morally right. Our porter was wearing appropriate footwear which eased my guilt about him carrying our bags. The hotels in Pokhara provide lockers so you can leave anything unnecessary at the bottom to avoid any extra weight for your porter to carry. All in all, we had an amazing time, it really is another world up in the mountains and a wonderful experience to see how the locals live up there. I really appreciate the organization that Ram put into our trip. The view at the top is spectacular and it's well worth the climb. 

We had such a great experience trekking to Poon Hill. We did the trek over three days and two nights which made for a fantastic experience. The view of the Annapurna ranges for sunset and sunrise was just breathtaking. However, the trek would not have been as great as it was if it had not been for Ram. He is such a friendly guide that is highly accommodating, fun to be around with and always watched out for us to ensure we were comfortable. He even went to the extent of carrying fruits up so we could have it each night. Very lucky to have Ram as our guide.Thank you Alpine Eco Trek team for making this an unforgettable one. 

We did a 3 day Poon Hill trip with Ram and his company. It was amazing even if I found it a bit tough. Ram arranged everything from our hotels in Kathmandu to a stunning hotel in Pokhara, the Temple Tree. Then we had Ramesh as our guide and Amit as our porter for the 3 days. They were brilliant and so supportive. As I walked more slowly than my wife, one of them stuck with me all of the ways. They were both kinds, funny and great to have around. Nothing was too much trouble. Ram could not do enough for us, changing flights and arranging longer stays in hotels for super low prices and always without any hassle. I would highly recommend this company and we will use them again in hopefully the near future. 

Two friends and I did a 03 day Poon Hill Trek, and our guide Sarjan made the trip so good for us. From all the interesting information that he provided to the support and help in the taxing descent from Ghorepani, he was always ready with a helping hand and a smile. Fantastic trek and 10 out of 10 guide, thanks so much Sarjan. 

What a fantastic team who run this company, Ram and Sangita. We had no experience of trekking but were soon put at ease. The 03 days Poon Hill trek itself was challenging, but we enjoyed every minute. Ram went at our pace which apparently was fast. We will definitely come back for another trek. If you need a porter, they do not overload them as other ruthless companies do. They are great, honest guys.  

Amazing place for sunrise in Nepalese Himalayas. 9 of us from Singapore hike to Poon Hill on 2018 Dec with our guide Ram owner of Alpine Eco Trek. The viewpoint has a stunning view of Annapurna mountain ranges. Need to visit once if you go Pokhara and Alpine Eco team is the best guide for your hike. 

Hiking to poon hill with Mr. Ram Gopal. He brings us here because our destination from Singapore was Poon Hill. Best sunrise with a Himalayan view I have ever seen with our great guide Ram Gopal, thank you Alpine Eco Trek team for organizing this beautiful trip.  

Great hike for the beginners. Best view point for sunrise. We can see lots of Himalayan views including Annapurnas, Dhaulagiri, and Nilgiri from Poon Hill viewpoint. We recommended anyone or everyone to experience this beautiful hike with Ram and his team at Alpine Eco Trek. 

In 2018 as the first time, we, a group of 7 Indian origin Malaysians, went to Nepal and did the 3 days Poon Hill trek with Ram. He was such an excellent guide, friendly, accommodating and very knowledgeable gentleman for the mountain culture and its flora and fauna. He helped us all the way, we hope to come back soon and see him and his lovely team at Alpine Eco Trek to do another adventure with them. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.
