We had a fantastic experience trekking from Pokhara to Poon Hill with this company. Our guide, Santosh Sherestsa, was excellent throughout the entire trip. He was friendly, knowledgeable and shared plenty of local information about the villages, mountains, culture and surrounding area. Everything was well organised and we always felt safe and looked after. Santosh made the trek enjoyable, relaxed and memorable. We would definitely recommend this company, and especially Santosh, to anyone looking for a trekking guide in Nepal.

This was an amazing one day hike! If you want to get out and see the mountains, but are in the off season or don’t have enough time for a multi day hike, this is your for you! My guide, Jet Bhadur Nepli, was fantastic! He knew all the great picture taking spots, was knowledgeable about the area and hikes available, and set a great pace for the hike! If you do this hike, be sure to bring water, bandaids, and tall hiking socks because there are leeches. You take some stops along the way for coffee, tea, and food which allows you to rest along the way. I had such an amazing time on this tour and wish I had more days to have done a longer one. If you find yourself in the Pokhara area of Nepal, this is a must do tour, and Jet Bhadur Nepli is the guide you want to show you this area!
Golma and our beloved porter Gotam went above and beyond to exceed every expectation. They were constantly positive, accommodating, and genuinely cared about our experience. We weren’t the most prepared, but they adapted completely to our pace and made sure we reached the top and returned safely, confidently, and in good spirits. Our 5-day trek to Annapurna Base Camp was tough—but filled with warmth, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Along the way, we passed through mountains, remote villages, dense forests, bamboo jungles, rivers, and all kinds of incredible and ever-changing terrain. We also learned so much about Nepal, especially the villages we passed through and the breathtaking mountain landscapes surrounding us. The food was consistently great, the accommodation was cosy and welcoming, and every village we stayed in had its own charm and character. If you’re considering an adventure like this, take the leap. This team is professional, safe, and incredibly thoughtful—they’ll tailor the experience to suit exactly what you need. We’ll absolutely be back next year… and we’d do it all over again.
Lovely guide Bishnu and porters,Ram and Oszim. What an incredible birthday surprise. Best experience ever. Thank you for taking care of us on Merdi himal trek. Best Dal Bhat is at Munal ( Badhal dahda btw Low camp and High camp ). Wish to be back for another route. 😉
We done the 4d/3n Mardi Himal trek. It was amazing from start to finish and our guide Santosh sherestha was brilliant. He was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout. Our porter Kishna was also amazing, we were in complete awe of him the whole time! We were lucky enough to get incredible views when we reached Base camp which made the early start and long day so worth it. I cannot recommend this company enough and we would definitely use again when returning to Nepal
We had an excellent trip with Moti, who is a wonderful guide and took care of every detail of our journey. The route is excellent, requiring a bit of effort at the beginning, but the view of the mountains is superb, and nature allows you to quiet down and find the best in yourself and the world. I highly recommend it—and regret that time did not allow for a two-day trek—I think it would be even more exciting!
We did the Ghorepani Poomhill trek, 3 nights 4 days- Jeet Bhadur Nepali my guide was brilliant and informative. Would recommend to any other travellers looking to do a short trek in Nepal!🙂
