Photography Tour in Nepal, which includes culturally opulent destinations of Nepal and fascinating easy trek to Poonhill is wonderfully diverse holiday in photographic perspective. Recently, Jeremy Clayton Woodhouse led the team of photographers from Australia and United States of America to these places in Nepal. The Team of Photographers also explored Bhutan for the Photography Tour.

Ms. Arial McIntyre Lang, one of the members of the team says some beautiful lines on their Photography Tour in Nepal and Bhutan with us.

The best memory of our trip was the view from Poonhill. From Poonhill we were really blessed with the view. Though I became ill, the night we reached Ghorepani, the guide encouraged me and took care of me so wonderfully that I could see through the top.

The Services of Explore Himalaya was flawless throughout our Photography Tour in Nepal and Bhutan. Meeting and handling was great, clear, concise and helpful. We stayed in great hotels. Both our guides cared about their country; they were informative and flexible with Photography constraints.

Overall, we had great photographic experience. However, I would recommend to add great Boudhanath stupa to the itinerary at 4 PM and to add one extra day in Trongsa.

An ideal family holiday, Wonderland of Himalayas is a composition of diverse activities of Nepalese highlights, which offers glimpses of every touristic attractions of Nepal. The soft and low altitude trek to Poonhill Ghorepani in Annapurna Region is the prime highlight of this holiday in Nepal. Allowing enough time in the typical hamlets of the region, in order to dig more into rural culture is an interesting part of the trek. During the trek you get to witness magnificent oak and rhododendron forests as you ascend to alpine meadows that afford spectacular views of the Annapurna Range. After the trek, a completely new activity for your holiday is designed. Wildlife Safari at Chitwan National Park atop a giant Asian elephant is considered one of the best wildlife activities in Asia. Encountering with several wild animals and spotting hundreds of species of birds are the major highlights at Chitwan. The mountain flight at the end of the tour is just like a sweet dessert. Mountain Flight takes you to the snow dominant Everest Region, where the gigantic peaks soar up to the sky.

Two Australian families, Welchs and Symmons recently explored the wonderland of Himalayas. Two weeks long holiday in Nepal made them fall in love with the country. Paul Welch after the completion of the trip wrote some sentences about their experiences during the holiday in Nepal.

Trekking was wonderful. Especially Rupen and the boys were very good. Jeep Safari at Chitwan and spotting sloth bears and several rhinos were very interesting and the Mountain flight was excellent opportunity to view the scenic nature.

Explore Himalaya’s service was excellent. Sabin, our Tour Officer was very attentive and took good care of us. Hotels and transportation were very good- reliable and comfortable. The team of Explore Himalaya is an outstanding and highly recommended team. We would rate their service with five stars and recommend Explore Himalaya to all the travelers to Nepal.

The wide range of Himalayas seen from Poonhill just before the sunrise

At 3,210m, the sunrise view from Poonhill of the snowy Annapurna, Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri Himalaya Ranges is a beautiful reward after every struggling step it took to make there!

Having the enchanting views of Himalayas so close up is a breathtaking sight!

The Ghorepani Poon Hill trek is a 4 – 5 day Trek in the Annapurna Region of Western Nepal. It is a soft adventure trekking holiday in Nepal demanding a moderate level of fitness to complete the Poonhill Ghorepani circuit.

Mr. Benjamin Sorensen and Mr. Anders Jensen from Denmark through our exclusive country partner Kipling Travel trekked to Ghorepani Poonhill recently. Here we have few words of admiration provided by Mr. Benjamin on Poonhill Ghorepani Trek.

Maximum use of legs to trek felt like fire burning in our legs however, to observe the amazing nature so closely from Poonhill was the best memory of our Poonhill Ghorepani Trek in the Annapurna Region.

The service of Explore Himalaya we would rate with 5 stars. Meeting and handling was more than perfect, hotels we stayed in were better than we expected, the guide was super fantastic and the staffs of Explore Himalaya were very good.

Sing out the battle cry, under the stadium sky,

Ocean and land divide, united we feel inside,

You can stand on my shoulders and raise up your arms,

When we all come together we light up the dark
