What to expect
Day 01: Arrival in Kathmandu and Transfer to hotel.
Welcome to Nepal. You will be greeted by the representative of Adventure Bound Nepal and transferred to the hotel. In the evening, we give you a short briefing about the trip overview. Overnight at hotel.
Day 02: Drive to Pokhara by tourist bus (6 hours).
From Kathmandu, we drive to Pokhara in the morning. Through the Prithvi Highway, the drive offers the sceneries near by the Trishuli and Marshyangdi River valley, green hillside and the terraced hillside.
Day 03: Drive to Nayapul and then trek to Tikhedhunga (1577m).
After the breakfast at the hotel, we drive from Pokhara to Nayapul, which takes about an hour. We begin to walk and after about 40 min. We reach to the check post and officially enter into the Annapurna Conservation Area project. We have an easy day to walk through the wide trail. The waterfalls at Bhurungdi Khola are amazing. Passing Hile, we steadily walk to Tikhedhunga. Overnight at lodge.
Day 04: Trek to Ghorepani (2750m).
The second day of the trek, we begin to walk from Tikhedhunga, passing some lodges. Crossing the suspension bridge, we climb through the stone paved steps, that are nose touching. The Ulleri village we reach after one and half hour and walk continually, we pass Banthanti. Then the isolated part begins through the rhododendron forest.
Day 05: Climb to Poon Hill (3200m) and trek to Tadapani.
Early in the morning, we climb up to the Poon Hill, which is about 45 minutes of steep climb up. The stunning Himalayan views of Mt. Dhaulagiri (8167m), Annapurna (8091m), Fishtail, Himchuli and the peaks nearby can be explored that changes into the golden color with the sunrise over those peaks. This is a precious moment to take photographs.

We have just finshed the Poon Hill treck during our first time visiting Nepal. Well what can I say? We have had an amazing experience and while we have shown great willing and worked extremely hard we could not have completed this adventure without our guide Bibek Bhatta. From the start Bibek showed his experience and class with knowledge of not only the Poon Hill trail, but also ABC and Everest Base camp (I would 100% be confident to contact him in the future if we looked to make one of these trails) Bibek was keen to answer our questions on religion, nepal, culture and anything else we had to ask. We certainly feel as though we have gone through both a learning and fitness experience. He gave the perfect balance between making sure we was challenged but also allowing us to move at our own pace. Bibek' s English was excellent which meant that we could have plenty of fun along the way. His connections on the mountain ensured that we stayed in the best guest houses, avoided bad weather and got to experience the best views at the best time of day (That's what we are going for right?). Bibek's hospitality didn't end on the mountain when he realised our outbound journey from Nepal wouldnt work he supported having the flight times changed and when we thought we was going to miss out on Phewa lake he continued as a guide to make sure our Pokhara experience was complete before ensureing that we made it to the airport on time. (He has just messaged to make sure we have made our journey safely). It feels as though we have made a friend. On reflection I think that the guide can make or break your trip and while I know there will be other good ones in Nepal Bibek was fantastic. Anyway a picture paints a thousand words...We had a good experience during the 4 days of our Trek and the services were optimal in our budget. Our guide Raj took special care of the facilities with his own personal touch and was very hospitable.

I and my friend joined a 4 days tour to Poon hill. We are both new to trekking and we are grateful to have such a patient and friendly guide to accompany us in this journey. Suresh did not give us pressure during the trek, he followed our pace and care for our condition a lot. Along the walk, we chatted a lot of things and it was nice to have him as our company. Although we cannot complete the journey due to high altitude response of my friend, Suresh makes sure we get back to hotel safely and ask for our condition after he left. We couldn't ask for more and hope that one day we can go back to join another journey with him!You'd better bring at least one friend. Enjoyable days will be more beautiful and unforgettable days. Everybody's nice. Worth visiting.
