Review

Best experience ever!

    We have done a circuit trekking from Pokhara up to Poonhill, passing by Tikkedunga, Ghorepani (Poonhill- 3,200 m), Ghandruk and back to Pokhara. Total of 6 days, 2 of them we travelled from Katmandhu to Pokhara and 4 of actual trekking.

It was one of the best experiences of my life. I enjoyed it from the beginning until the end.

The guys from the Agency were taking care of us all the time, making sure that this experience was completely amazing. We did the trekking with the guide, Amrit and the porter who was carrying our bags, Raj. They are really nice and we became really good friends during those days.

During the trekking, they were taking us to the best accommodations in the towns we were staying and for the meals, you can choose what you want to eat among the menus at the restaurants.

This experience is such an amazing thing to do when you are visiting Nepal: nice food, stunning views and nice people to go with! Sometimes is a bit hard but nothing to be worried about with a bit of prior training. We were not fit at all and we made it! :)

We really enjoyed it and cant wait to come back next year, we will try to do the Everest Base camp trekking, and dont have any doubt that we will do it with the same Agency and ask for the same guys to join us!

Thanks!
