“Amazing 5Days 4Nights Poon Hill trekking with Actual Adventure”

22-Jun-2021

“Amazing 5Days 4Nights Poon Hill trekking with Actual Adventure” ★★★★★ (5/5) ghorepani poon hill trek Actual Adventure is highly recommended for travellers who are going to Nepal!! During the 5Days 4Nights trekking on Poon Hill, they do not only offer a well-organised trek but also a safe, fun and nourishing journey for my friend and I to see the beauty of Nepal. Kedar, owner of Actual Adventure, truly understands our requirements and customized itinerary that fully meets our needs. With his flexible arrangement, we can enjoy trekking, paragliding, and rafting within our limited time during the stay. Sujan, our best mate, is a fun, attentive, and professional manger and guide. With his extensive knowledge and local network in the area, we are able to see the best scenery and enjoy the best accommodation and services on the hill after a long day trek. Most importantly, mindful Sujan keeps us safe from dangers like AMS as well as blood sucking worms. Having Sujan for your trek, you can definitely find happiness and never feel bored. Kumar, the nice porter, who helps to carry our baggages. Without his help, we can hardly complete our trek. From the stories of Kumar, you can surely know more about the habits, languages and culture of Nepalis. After all, Actual Adventure is not only a professional traveling agency but also a good companion that brings you unforgettable memory in Nepal! Regards kayla wong

Ghorapani Poonhill Trek ★★★★★ (Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking My adventure began in Kathmandu staying at the Alpine Hotel in the Thamel District. There I met Sujan Neupane owner of Actual Adventure.

Poonhill Trekking in Nepal

05-Mar-2021

Poonhill Trekking in Nepal I experienced a wonderful trekking trip in 2019. We start from Kathmandu>Pohkrara>Tikhedunga > Ghorepani>Poonhill (for the amazing sunrise time)>Tadapani>Ghandruk>Pokhara>Kathmandu. We need to pass through slippery Ice surface in some trails Cruz it was snowy time in December. Guides to have very good sense to take care of you and help you walk slowing and carefully on those slippery surface. We are in group of 8 and there are 1 guide take care of about 2 people. They treat us everything in detailed. They concern all our need and that’s why we are all happy to complete the challenging trekking trip! I especially thank Sujan who take care of me throughout the trip! If I have time, I will join the challenging ABC trekking trip next time ! 如果你去尼泊爾,不妨參與這個機構的行山團,他們的導賞相當細心,在行程上的各樣需要,他們均照顧周到。 我們一行8人, 大約是一個導賞照顧2個團友。我曾經跌在冰面上,但導賞們得迅速地從冰面上救起,我們全部團友也沒有受傷,還可以欣賞到畢生難忘的大自然! beasi Hong Kong

Excellent service, excellent adventure poon hill trek

19-Aug-2021

Excellent service, excellent adventure poon hill trek ★★★★★ (5/5) Three of us took a trek to Poon Hill and Ghorepani in July 2019. Two of us had been to Annapurna Base Camp before with the same company and the same guide. The were so great that we specifically requested them again and were delighted to get them. Lakpa Sherpa is a fantastic guide, friendly, funny and professional. He was particularly good in helping my colleague who needed more assistance. We encountered a few natural mishaps after a storm (landslides, overflown rivers) and Lakpa and the porters Uttam and Prasang were nothing short of amazing. The were able to reroute us, helped my colleagues across the river and found alternative transports when the bus couldn't pass the landslide. Also, the organiser, Kedar Neupane, was similarly professional and lovely. The entire experience was nothing short of amazing. We would go again in a heartbeat. Robert Smith Australia, Sydney
