Client Reviews

Best Poon Hill Trek

Escape Nepal never let me down! The first time, we went trekking to Poonhill, and we chose Escape Nepal because of the reasonable price and good services. They were warmly welcomed and have a good heart. They make us feel like family, and the trekking is amazing. Suraj as our guide and more than a guide, now we became too good friend ever.

We go to Kathmandu many times, they still help me with everything that is why we love Escape Nepal, It is a more than a travel agency, they are the best friends, and good isn't enough for them.

Go with Escape Nepal for Ghorepani Poon Hill trek

I went on a trip to Ghorepani Poon Hill in Nepal with Escape Nepal Holiday in April and blown away. The planning and organization were superb. Though we were hiking every day, the company planned and scheduled our trip so we could truly relax and take in the sights and landscape on our trek.

We were on vacation, and we did not have to worry about any of the little details that go into organizing a trek. They were extremely professional and trustworthy.

Highly recommended!

Ghorepani Trekking in Nepal

We had a trek to Poon Hill with Escape Nepal and would have no hesitation in recommending the tour. If we are ever lucky enough to go back to Nepal would use them again.
Our guide Raj is wonderful. Very friendly and spoke excellent English. He knew the trail very well, which was great as he was able to use his knowledge to motivate us on the hills. It was just my husband and me on the

tour. We were able to walk at the pace, which best suited our level of fitness. Highly recommended!

5 Day 4 Night Poon Hill trek

It was our first time in Nepal, and we can safely say that we had made the right choice to travel with Escape Nepal. The company was very accommodating, and service was great for the entire trek of Ghorepani Poon hill.

Our guide Arjun is very knowledgeable and fluent in English. One of our baggage was delayed during the flight, and Escape Nepal collected the baggage on our behalf and sent it to Pokhara for us such that our plan was not disrupted.

The porters and guides were sincere and trustworthy, always looking out for our well-being. We will choose Escape Nepal again for our next trip to Nepal.

Great Company for Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

I booked my whole holiday in Nepal with Escape Nepal that includes a cultural tour in Kathmandu, Ghorepani-Poonhill trek, rafting, paragliding, Pokhara stay, etc.

First of all, I booked with them because I liked their answers to my initial inquiries, which are very quick, exhaustive, professional, and they made an effort to tailor the tour to my needs and constraints. From my landing in Nepal to the moment of departure for the airport on the last day the organization was perfect (and I can be picky!): always on time, very reliable service, according to plan, with professional drivers, guides and other, and also leaving me enough free time to be on my own.

They also invited me to dinner on my last day, which I appreciated a lot because it was clear they cared about the feedback about the tour. I must throw in a special word for the guide I had in the mountains, who was great, really knew his job, was very supportive and attentive, spoke very good English, and became a real friend.

Being a solo traveler, it was especially nice to have an interesting interlocutor as a guide, and they picked a really good one for me. I think, I will go back to Nepal, as I would like to do another trek now that I got some confidence in my capacity, and I will book with them again.

I must say it was the best tour agency I ever worked with (and I used services of many, in Europe and elsewhere, for different trips).

I had a great holiday as a result.

5 Days Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

We went trekking for seven nights on the Poon Hill trail - it was a great experience. The views of the mountains and countryside are beautiful and, the local people are very welcoming. Escape Nepal is excellent - Arjun, when we arranged the tour, answered all my dumb questions patiently and, everything was very well organized. We met Raj at our hotel in Kathmandu, and he accompanied us on the bus to Pokhara, organized the taxi to the hotel in Pokhara, organized the transport to the start of the trek, it was all seamless.

Raj took excellent care of everything but in a very friendly laid back way- if we wanted to stop for a breather/ drink then that was good. He knew the route very well so he always gave a very accurate description of how long each section would take us, and whether it was up or down.

Our stuff was carried by a very kind young man whose name we can’t spell. So all we had to do was walk up and down the hills!!! This was our first trek, but we have got bitten by the bug. Hopefully, one day we will be able to go back to Nepal, and we wouldn’t dream of trekking with any other company.

Suze, China | 15 August, 2018

Ghorepani - Poon Hill Trek

We choose Escape Nepal after doing our research on trekking companies in Nepal, and we were not disappointed. Arjun was extremely hospitable and patient with our numerous questions.

The 5-day trek was altered to 4-day for our convenience. Suraj was a wonderful guide, and most commendable was the effort he put into encouraging our daughter, who had had quite enough at the early sunrise trek up to Poon Hill.

Veetils, Indonesia | 24 April, 2018

We feel great in Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

We had a very good time with the guide Suraj, and the 4 young porters as they are energetic and friendly. We had 5-day trekking to Ghorepani Poon Hill. The hotels they arranged are with very good view.

We enjoy it very much! Recommended!

Gailkeung, China | 18 April, 2018

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

We booked a 2-week tour with Arjun, and he arranged a Kathmandu city tour and all the hotels as part of our Ghorepani Poon Hill trek. Well managed given we made some last-minute changes, although be advised the poon hill trek is NOT easy as stated in the online descriptions.

It is difficult unless you're a very active and agile person and have trained for the trek, so please be advised.

Overall, It was a very good experience.
