Great experience with Snow Peak. ABC and Poon hill combination trek. Jeet the guide was very friendly and was doing a lot of effort to arrange anything if requested. Also very willing to answer questions about the Nepalese culture or the trek itself and makes great pictures as an extra!

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 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.

the Guide , Purus, from Snow Peak is a really awesome guide That take me and my wife to have a two day tracking into Poon Hill. On the road, the guy makes everything super comfortable. Not only your lunch, the dinner, the hotel, the tracking Routes, all the time are so awesome and beautiful. Snow Peak perhaps a new founded company, but is very responsible to do everything well managed. Really thank you for giving me such a great experience and I sincerely recommend to everybody to use this service to find a guide to no matter Poon Hill or Annapura Base Camp

We’ve had such a wonderful and joyful trekking experience here in Nepal over the past few days. Seeing the snow mountains has been truly amazing and unforgettable. Even though the weather was a bit misty at times, we were still lucky enough to catch beautiful views of the mountains. We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our guide for the great leadership, care, and companionship throughout the journey. And a big thank you to our porters as well 🩵🙏 We truly appreciate everything. Thank you so much! 🙏 My Journey Travel Hub Sdn Bhd #startyourjourneywithmyjourney

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
