Ghorepani Poon Hill Ghandruk trek Reviews
I couldn't be more happy with the experience I get from this trip with Accent Himalaya. We were five in a group and went on this trek mid April. I would recommend going during this time because the weather, as i experienced it, was perfect. It wasn't too cold nor too hot with clear blue sky. The ascend was very enjoyable as we get to pass small villages and see the beautiful mountain ranges clearer as we go high up. The descend I would say was a bit of a challenge if you have some knee problem. But overall I would say it wasn't a too-difficult one. The highlight of the trip was definitely the accomplishment to be on top of Poon Hill, and the reward was amazing. The view of the first light on the peaks of Dhaulagiri was especially spectacular. Mr. Nava - our guide - is very knowledgable about the landscape of the area and never failed to explain to us anything we want to know. Throughout the journey, Accent Himalaya team had been giving us so much joy from their positive attitude. Very good trip indeed.

Nice trip with awesome travel company
Since this was my first experience trekking in Nepal and also solo traveler where I booked this trip from the Accent Himalaya Company where I request them to that I would love to travel in a group where in other travel company I go though it there was no such group because I booked this trip in offseason so, most of the company there was no group and luckily I came through this Accent Himalaya company where there was a group of five people who was trekking to the ghorepani poon hill and then I booked this trip and was all set for my trip.
The group of the people where from different country with different sex and age but that was not the problem I was worried trekking in solo but thank god there was the group and all the members of the group were very supportive and helpful and together in a group we trek without a rush where each and every member in the group capture the best scenery the only sad part was that we did not get to view the sunrise view due to bad weather because there was a lot of foggy so we did not get the best sunrise view nonetheless we were rewarded with the magnificence mountain view of the Annapurna region.
For me it was first experience and it was my first time visit where I was alone and after landing in the airport I was bit worried where there was lot of people all around and far away I got the spot of the sign board of the company where they came to me and took me into their private car and drop me to the respective hotel where I fell very relieve later I visited their office and met the group and all was friendly and then we discuss about the trip and was all set for our trekking.
The trip was outstanding and hats off to our guide and porter where the company provide us one guide with three strong porters where all our baggage was carried by this strong porter where we are so much thankful to them for carrying our heavy baggage and thanks to the all the team of the accent Himalaya for making my trip one of the memorable and comfortable trip.

Exceptional and easiest trek to the Ghorepani poon hill
We recently did this trek with the Accent Himalaya company to the Poon hill trek where our trip was tremendous from the day till departure of the trip we were well taken care of this company. This trek I did it with my wife and our 20 years son in a private where all the services was well arranged from the accommodation to food all was properly set up where the services was beyond our expectation.
The trip was the 8 day trip but we request them to include two days for exploring the Kathmandu city. After successfully completing this trek the next day we explore the city which was filled with lots of interesting sites where our guides takes us to the interesting sites but the most outstanding was the Pashupatinath temple where it was temple and also the cremation sites of Hindus where we got to explore the rituals of Hindus.
The trek was awesome journey with the spectacular scenery but sadly in the middle of the way my son got minor cramp on his legs where he was not able to hike properly due to his pain but thanks to our guide he put some medicine and gave support on his shoulder and we reached at the lodge and properly medicating and thankfully in the morning my son was recovered well and we continue our trekking slowly and reaching the Kathmandu city they took us to the hospital for our son check up of his legs so, thank god it was just a minor sprain,
We are very grateful to the Accent Himalayan team for such kindness and making our trip very special and especially big thanks to the guide and porter for giving total support to my son and making our trip successfully without their support we were not able to accomplish this trek.

Trek of a lifetime!
I did this trek in solo through the company of the Accent Himalaya which the company was recommend by my closest friend where he had done trekking last year to the EBC through the assist of this company where he told me he was totally satisfied with the services of this company and he told me to booked my trip from this company where without a second thought I immediately emails to the company and discus about my trip where my emails was replied quickly which totally impressed me and the owner planned all the trip and the itinerary as per my wish and was so well arranged to meet all my needs.
When the massive earth quake occur I was there at the Nepal but I had never attempt a trekking to this Himalayan region on that year I came just for a volunteering campaign but never got to do such trekking experience I just only got a time to explore this beautiful Kathmandu city sadly all of the heritage sites were totally destruct and I did not get to capture the best picture as the country was in a shocking situation.
In 2016 I came for my second visit but this time I came for my adventurous trip to the ghorepani poon hill where it was the easiest trek of the Nepal where one can capture the beautiful scenery with the diverse landscapes. The guide provided by this company was very knowledgeable where on the trail he shared with me about the history of Nepal and the Nepali culture and also taught me some few Nepali phrases which were helpful during visiting the local village so, thanks to the team for making such wonderful trip.

Truly marvelous time in the ghore pani poon hill trek
Me and my friend decided for this easiest trek and in my entire life I had never done trekking and I have heard from my friends that this place is perfect for doing an adventurous trekking so me and one of my friend decided to move to this beautiful country for our adventurous new experience but in the mean time of the trekking she decided to cancel her trip but I did not cancel it because since it was my childhood dream visiting this Himalayan country and at least attempting one of the easiest trek of the Himalayan region.
I researched a lot about this country and visit some of the websites of the travel company where I came across this Accent Himalaya Company where the company websites was very informative and the price was also fair comparing with the other company. I was a solo traveler where I was bit worried as it was my first visit to this country and I asked for the group where the owner of the company tagged me into the group of seven people where I feel very secure and safe.
The trip was incredible with the beautiful mountain scenery as travelling in the group was also outstanding each and every member of the group was very supportive and sociable where I did not felt I was left out. As our guide was also very attentive and watchful where he care all the members of the group and make sure that each and every one are enjoying their trip or not and ask if we needed something or not.
Thanks to the team and the owner of the company for making my group trip one of the memorable and especially thanks to the guide and porter who was supportive all the time of our trekking.
