This trek surpassed all expectations, combining breathtaking scenery, impeccable organization, and expert guidance. Here is our review of the Annapurna Base Camp via Poon Hill trek with Nepal Wilderness Trekking and our esteemed guide, Himal Ghale.

Himal responded promptly to all our inquiries, provided us with detailed itineraries, and ensured our trip was tailored to our preferences.

His passion for trekking and dedication to providing a safe and enjoyable experience was evident throughout our adventure. Himal’s fluency in English and his ability to connect with the group made our interactions effortless and enjoyable.

The trek commenced in Nayapul, and as we hiked through picturesque villages and terraced fields, Himal Ghale’s insightful commentary about the local culture, traditions, and natural wonders enriched our understanding of the region. His deep-rooted connections with the local communities enabled us to engage meaningfully with the people we encountered along the way, creating lasting memories and fostering cultural exchange.

Reaching Poon Hill for the sunrise view was a highlight of the trek. The sight of the snow-capped Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain ranges bathed in hues of gold was simply awe-inspiring. Himal Ghale’s expertise in timing our ascent to the viewpoint ensured we witnessed this breathtaking spectacle at its finest. His genuine enthusiasm and vast knowledge of the surrounding peaks added an extra layer of wonder to the experience.

Continuing our journey towards Annapurna Base Camp, we encountered diverse landscapes, from dense forests to alpine meadows, accompanied by stunning mountain vistas at every turn. Himal Ghale’s leadership and guidance were invaluable during challenging sections of the trail, offering reassurance and support to each member of our group. His meticulous attention to detail, especially regarding altitude sickness prevention, allowed us to acclimatize effectively and enjoy the trek safely.

Surrounded by towering peaks, Himal Ghale’s insightful explanations about the geological formations, glaciers, and rich biodiversity of the region deepened our appreciation for this natural marvel. His dedication to our group’s well-being and his ability to create a sense of unity and camaraderie among us made this achievement even more rewarding.

The teahouses offered warm hospitality, hearty meals, and opportunities to connect with fellow trekkers. Himal Ghale’s excellent coordination with the teahouse owners ensured smooth logistics and enhanced our overall experience.

Annapurna base camp trek

Recently, I completed a 10-day trek to Annapurna base camp with guides DB and BK. The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable about the area. As a result, they were accommodating and even made changes to the itinerary based on the preferences of the group. Nepal Wilderness Trekking is highly recommended!

Review of ABC and Poon Hill
Nepal Wilderness Trekking arranged for our group of five to trek to Annapurna base camp and Poon Hill. Firstly, Himal made the organization and payment for the trek extremely easy via email. Our trek began with our brilliant guides, DB Banset and BK. It was a pleasure to work with them and they made the experience very pleasant for us, and by the end of the trip, we had become very good friends. As a result, we plan to keep in touch and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in trekking in Nepal.

Annapurna base camp For my boyfriend, Marcus and I, Nepal has always been on our bucket list for years. Finally, after much thought and planning, we set off on Nov 7th, 2012 with Nepal Wilderness on an 11 days hike on the Annapurna base camp. Our guide was Purna Gurung and our friendly porter, Jagadish. We wanted to hire a local company and not a foreign one, so I found Himal at Nepal Wilderness. He was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and thorough.

All our emails were answered promptly which made our planning a breeze. All we had to do was pack our bags and hope for the best;) And we were not disappointed. We were met at Kathmandu airport by Himal himself the first night, after our flight from Hong Kong that was delayed for 3 hours. That’s a usual occurrence for Nepal airlines as we found out 🙂 We were delighted that everything e.g passes, domestic tickets are all organized. Good start for the holiday 🙂 We were met in Pokhara by Purina. His Dynamic character shows immediately.

It was Jagadish first job as a potter, but his cheerful character and willingness were such a blessing for the trek ahead. Our experience cannot be as rewarding if it’s not for Purna’s expertise. Purna has extensive knowledge of his country concerning flora and fauna, geographical, culture and history. He was patient, always explaining our day, taking care of our every need, waiting up for us lovebirds), taking pictures which he is superb at, sitting down to get to know us… genuinely.

He relentlessly introduces us to his culture as we were fortunate the festival of light was in full gear. We danced, sang and drank alongside the locals. Purna has a great sense of humor, very engaging, we became good friends and had such a ball on the trek) One of the most intriguing night is where we all sat down with friends we met along the trek by a campfire singing and just getting to know each other and soaking in the beauty around us…magical! Himal, Purna and Jagadish have proven to be great ambassadors for their country. We highly recommend their services. Our trip to Nepal was enriching and memorable, especially having met these 3 beautiful people! 😉 Sometimes uphill, some time downhill, rei sam
