Ghorepani Ghandruk trek:

15th Mar, 2022


From the first response from Devi Baral to my e-mail, I felt sure I'd found an agent who could provide everything I was looking for. Devi listens to what you want and gives it to you at a price that is remarkable. Our tailormade holiday took us round Kathmandu, by bus to Pokhara (return by air), trekking from Nyapul via Poon Hill and Dhampus to finish in Phedi (61/2 days), sighting everest from Nagakot and a visit to Bhaktapur.

Devi also invited us to his home for a farewell meal; he made us feel very cared for and special.

On the trek you couldn't have a better guide than Kumar. He chose the best tea houses with the best beds, food and views. If you are thinking of not using a guide remember... you get to your final destination quite tired...there are few tea house reviews and you'll probably have a very hit and miss time (as others we met confirmed). Our porter Naranth RAN! Ahead to ensure that the tea room Kumar wanted was reserved for us.... you really couldn't have spent time with a better couple of guys. They looked after us as if we were family. Using Adventure Nepal Eco Trek  company  was a big descision that we thought about very carefully and 100% came to the rigt descision to use them. Devi Baral, Kumar Khadka and Naranth can't be bettered.
