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.

Walking uphill before dawn on a long series of  stony staircase rewards trekkers with wonderful viewpoint- Poonhill

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.

Explore Himalaya hosts trek as perfectly as Brazil hosts FIFA WC

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

         THE WORLD IS OURS

FIFA World Cup 2014 theme song here has significant value; it is our turn to honor Brazil as our valued Brazilian guest Mr. Marcus Vinicius Abreu De Souza has truly admired Nepal. He was recently with us on Ghorepani Poonhill Trek. He also enjoyed Paragliding in Pokhara, Mountain Flight and cultural sightseeing tour. Here we have his words of admiration.

Sunset in Nagarkot, Paragliding in Pokhara, Mountain Flight, Poonhill Trek, Bhaktapur Sightseeing Tour…Every place I visited during my Nepal trip has been the best memories so far.

Explore Himalaya services were better than I expected. Sabin, my Tour Officer was very helpful throughout my trip. He is a great friend to be with. Hotels were all very good. Guides, Procash and Rupchan were throughout very responsible and helpful. I intend to have to them as guides in my next trip to Nepal as well. Overall, my every need was addressed. I would rate Explore Himalaya with 5 stars.

To fellow travelers planning to visit Nepal, I would recommend them to pick Explore Himalaya.It is one of the best travel companies I have ever traveled with.

Trekking to Annapurna Region Nepal- Few Testimonials

Posted Mar 13th, 2014 under Testimonial, Trekking & Hiking,

Annapurna-4

Annapurna is the most frequented trekking region in Nepal. During the fascinating trekking adventure, in Annapurna Region the challenges vary with the elevation trekkers prefer to scale and number of days trekkers trek.  However, soft adventurous trek to Poonhill, moderate trek to Annapurna Base Camp or the challenging Round Annapurna Trek and Upper Mustang Trek; all of them are very well admired by the trekkers. The trials during the trek in Annapurna region winds through the colorful woods of rhododendron, far-flung mountainous hamlets and attractive mani walls. Average walk of six to seven hours a day, cross passes temples, monasteries, challenging passes and breathtaking landscapes. The floras and faunas of Annapurna Conservation Area Project brings you closer to the rawness in nature while the striking views of world’s highest mountains are frequent rewards throughout the trek in Annapurna region. World class hospitality offered by the locals of the mountains and traditional rural at its best are also the major highlights of the trek in the Annapurna Region.

Here we have few testimonials from our recent clients who were on the trek to Annapurna Region.

Mr. Song Poh and his eight friends from Malaysia- Annapurna Base Camp Trek

Our trek guide was very knowledgeable and the other trek staffs were very cooperative. They extended support without asking at times. Itinerary was flexible enough to understand the clients need. We got everything what we have paid for.
