About trek Nepal ❤️

Mountains was my first word in my second day of trekking.. I traveled alone in Nepal and I had a amazing experience to walking with my friend Ramesh in his beautiful company. He helped me not just during the trek but in every moment that I spent in Nepal. I learned so much things, I saw the wonderful nature, I lived with the local people, and I left a part of my heart in this land. I learned the most beautiful word in this world… DHANEBAT! I truly recommend this company! Namaste❤️ Hope see you again!

An Unforgettable Mountain Adventure

My trekking experience to Poon Hill was an adventure of a lifetime, made exceptional by my guide, Rishee. From the onset, Rishee's expertise and friendly demeanor set the tone for a remarkable journey. The trek itself was a mesmerizing dive into the wild, where the lush landscapes of Nepal unfolded before us in an ever-changing panorama. Each day brought new challenges and wonders. The trails were rewarding, with Rishee leading the way, ensuring safety and offering insights into the local culture and environment. His knowledge of the area and its trails was impressive, adding depth to our experience. The highlight, undoubtedly, was the awe-inspiring view of the mountains. Standing atop Poon Hill, surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, was a moment of pure exhilaration. The breathtaking views of the sun rising over the peaks are etched in my memory, a testament to the beauty of nature.
