Review of the 2-day Poon Hill trek from Pokhara, with sunrise views, rhododendron forests, guide details, costs, transport, and practical tips.
“I had an amazing time on the trek. It’s a relatively easy trek (about 3 hours on the way up with plenty of breaks and another 45 min to get to Poon Hill) but the view at the top is out of this world! The road to get to the starting point of the hike is not for the faint of heart but it’s absolutely worth it. Watching the sun rise on Poon Hill was a real highlight of my 2-week trip in Nepal. My guide Biru was great; helpful, nice and took amazing pictures of me! He was so patient with pictures!”

“I had the pleasure of joining the Evening Aarati Tour at Pashupatinath Temple, and it was truly a memorable experience; made even better by our guide, Razz! From the moment the tour began, Razz impressed me with his deep knowledge not only of the Pashupatinath Temple and its rich Hindu traditions, but also of Buddhism, which added a wonderful layer of context to everything I saw and experienced. He explained the rituals, symbolism, and history in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, even for someone unfamiliar with the culture. His passion for the heritage of Kathmandu was evident, and his kind, respectful nature made the entire experience…”
The valley squares, the two lake towns, the long walks and the flights.
