Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek
Ian Urquhart, CanadaI cannot imagine a better trekking experience than what Nepal Hiking Team delivered. Professional, very well-organized, extremely considerate – expect these qualities to characterize all of your interactions with NHT.
When planning your trek, NHT offers an illuminating, very accurate description of what awaits you. In the weeks/months before my trek Ganga answered any and all of my questions about the trek. The airport pick up/drop offs were perfect – much appreciated (as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz said…”Toto, we’re not in Kansas anymore!”) The accommodations arranged in Kathmandu (Woodapple Hotel and Spa) were first-rate. Ganga met me at the hotel, went over the trek details with me, and gave me the extra equipment that the Team would carry for me (with many thanks – backpack, down sleeping bag, down jacket).
That I was in very good hands was confirmed by Surya – my guide. In Nepali, Surya means sun – and I couldn’t have asked for better light on my trek. Surya was simply superb. He was always concerned about my well-being and enjoyment. He was well “tuned in” to my capabilities and ensured that our pace was one that I could handle. His concern for my well-being was equalled by the knowledge of his mountains that he shared on our trip.
The accommodations during the trek were good – much, much more comfortable than all my previous backpacking with tent experiences at home. It was so nice to stretch out in a guest house after a day on the trail with a tea and soak in the setting.
If my future gives me more years of good health I hope to come back for another trek with the Nepal Hiking Team. It was a privilege to trek with them and to write this review. I’m sure you will agree after letting them make your visit to this special place a wonderful one.
