This trek was an amazing adventure. There were spectacular views of lush green hills and jungles, waterfalls, as well as snow capped mountains. This area of Nepal is remarkably beautiful and alive with wildlife. We saw monkeys in the jungle. Our guide, Mr. Lakpa Sherpa and porters Pasang and Uttam were fantastic. Lakpa was able to anticipate my every need. He was very caring and very careful. He even held my hand on difficult downhill descents. He was also very knowledgeable and was able to p...

“Amazing 5Days 4Nights Poon Hill trekking with Actual Adventure” 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 arrang... See more ement, 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          See less...

Ghorepani Poonhill Trekking “I arrived in Nepal as a lone traveler and with no experience of Nepal or the surrounding areas. Kedar and his team at Actual Adventure took complete care of me from the moment I arrived at the airport, through to the hotel transfers and trek. Overall I found the trip to be an amazing experience, the temples and markets in Thamel were fascinating, as were the scenic views and pretty tea houses in Annapurna. I would like to thank Kedar and Bikram in particular... See more for providing an excellent guide service that was not only great value for money but informative and helpful too. I would highly recommend Actual Adventures as they provided an amazing service, both prior to and during the trip.”     Current :UAE Kelly King London UK See less...
