Fantastic 3days hike in lower Himalayas

The trip was excellent. Our guide Sudip took great care of us and we had a chance to experience our first time hiking in Himalayas. If you think about going to higher mountains, a 3 day trip to Ghandruk, Tadapani, Ghorepani and Poon Hill is a great way to test your endurance. And Sudip is the best guide for all sorts of trips.

Three day Poon Hill Trek during Monsoon Season

My partner and I did a three day trek starting in Pokhara all the way to Poon Hill - passing through Nayapool, Ulleri and Ghorepani in June 2024. Despite monsoon season we were able to get a glimpse of Annapurna South on two separate occasions! Our Sherpa Bhoj Tamang and our porter were amazing! They were helpful and very cheerful and ensured we got the most out of our experience. We would choose them as Sherpa and porter again when we come back to Nepal.

Great experience with the nice team in Nepal

It was a fantastic experience that will stay in memory for the whole life.
The guide and the team were very helpful. In particular, Bishal was always there if we need anything. He is not only an experienced and professional guide, but also a person to have and interesting conversation and chat. We sayed in touch well after I was back home from the trip. Everything was nicely organised, but we also had a chance to modify our plan slightly as we go.

Above and beyond!

We booked our 2 week trip to Nepal without doing much research and decided to do a little bit of everything. We did the Poon Hill trek with a Chitwan jungle safari.

Our guide Raju was amazing. He went above and beyond every day to make sure that we were okay. Doing all the little things like finding us extra blankets and customising our sightseeing excursions to be more to our tastes.

Our porter/driver, Pemba, made all the driving incredibly comfortable on the what should be scary roads of Nepal.

My only complaint was that there was too much food! I came to Nepal to loose weight!!!!

All the city hotels were very good and in good locations. On the trek all the ‘tea houses’ exceeded our expectations, and Raju definitely got us the best rooms by charming the owners.

We will definitely be back and use Mountain Mart again.

They are required to respect local cultures, protect the environment, maintain ethical conduct, and prioritize guest safety at all times. Friendly communication, honesty, punctuality, and professional service are core values we uphold throughout every journey.


2. Safety & Security

Guest safety is our highest priority. All trekking routes are carefully planned with proper acclimatization and daily safety briefings. Our guides are trained in first aid and altitude awareness, and they closely monitor trekkers’ health during the trip. We use reliable equipment, trusted accommodation, and established emergency procedures, including evacuation support when needed. With Mountain Mart Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd., travelers can explore Nepal with confidence and peace of mind.


3. Best Season to Trek in Nepal

Nepal offers excellent trekking opportunities throughout the year, but the best seasons are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is stable, skies are clear, and mountain views are spectacular. Spring brings colorful rhododendron forests, while autumn offers crisp air and stunning Himalayan panoramas. Winter and monsoon treks are also possible in selected regions with proper planning and guidance.


4. Experience & Fitness

Our trekking and adventure programs are designed for a wide range of experience levels—from beginners to experienced trekkers and mountaineers.

We provide clear pre-trip information to help guests prepare physically and mentally for a rewarding Himalayan journey.

Proper acclimatization is essential for a safe and enjoyable trek in Nepal. Our itineraries are carefully designed with gradual altitude gain and scheduled rest days to help the body adapt naturally. Guides continuously assess guests’ condition and provide guidance on hydration, pacing, and altitude awareness. This approach greatly reduces the risk of altitude-related illness and ensures a comfortable trekking experience.

Poon Hill adventure

We had a 3 day trip from Kathmandu to Poon Hill. The local guide was amazing and very professional! I had a trouble with my shoes on the way back so he gave me his ones and really took care of me and my friend from the very start to the very end. The trip was fun and with good vibes! Highest recommendations! ❤️

Fantastic 3days hike in lower Himalayas

The trip was excellent. Our guide Sudip took great care of us and we had a chance to experience our first time hiking in Himalayas. If you think about going to higher mountains, a 3 day trip to Ghandruk, Tadapani, Ghorepani and Poon Hill is a great way to test your endurance. And Sudip is the best guide for all sorts of trips.

Three day Poon Hill Trek during Monsoon Season

My partner and I did a three day trek starting in Pokhara all the way to Poon Hill - passing through Nayapool, Ulleri and Ghorepani in June 2024. Despite monsoon season we were able to get a glimpse of Annapurna South on two separate occasions! Our Sherpa Bhoj Tamang and our porter were amazing! They were helpful and very cheerful and ensured we got the most out of our experience. We would choose them as Sherpa and porter again when we come back to Nepal.

Poon Hill

We did the 3 day Poon Hill trek with Yukumar and had a great time. Both Yukumar and our porter were super professional and knowledgeable, and despite traveling during rainy season, we were still able to get some mountain views. Highly recommend!
