(5/5)

The Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek is an ideal trek for a short trip to the lower elevations of the Annapurna region

We had a 12 day stay in Nepal and, in that short time, wanted to experience as much of the country as possible and relax. Kedar in particular was instrumental to fulfilling our wishes. He helped us build a flexible itinerary around what we wanted and gave us, what turned out to be, a very fair price. At every step: hotels, tours, drivers etc everything was fluid and in place leaving nothing to worry about. Further more the guides (Ram in particular) and our awesome driver were not only professional at their job but also lovely people. Everyone went out of their way to make sure our needs were met and ensure we had a pleasant trip. Service at its best. In a place where it can be easy to be over charged or mislead, this was certainly a breathe of fresh air. Next time we are in Nepal we will use these guys again. Thank you
