What an absolutely brilliant trek! Himalayan Forever's organization was flawless from airport pickup to final departure. The variety of this combined route kept things constantly interesting. Poon Hill sunrise was spectacular, but honestly every sunrise in the mountains was beautiful. Our guide's passion for his homeland was infectious. The lodges exceeded expectations – warm blankets, decent showers, good food. Standing at ABC looking up at Annapurna South took my breath away. Already missing those mountain mornings.
Review for 15 days Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek
Booked with Himalayan Forever based on reviews and they delivered completely. The itinerary balance was perfect – challenging enough to feel accomplished but not overwhelming. Waking up at Annapurna Base Camp surrounded by those massive walls of ice and rock is something that changed me. Our porter-guide team were incredible professionals. The traditional villages, especially Ghandruk, offered such warm cultural experiences. Hot springs at Jhinu were the perfect end. Highly recommend this company for their expertise and care.
Review for 15 days Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek
Himalayan Forever organized everything perfectly for our group. The pre-dawn hike to Poon Hill was challenging but that panorama was absolutely worth it. Every day brought new landscapes and perspectives. Our guide made sure we understood the cultural significance of places we passed through. The sanctuary at ABC felt sacred, surrounded by those towering peaks. Loved the hospitality at every teahouse. The Kathmandu sightseeing before the trek was an excellent addition. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

This was my second trek in Nepal and Himalayan Forever raised the bar. The combination route is brilliant – you get iconic viewpoints and deep mountain immersion. Walking through rhododendron forests near Ghorepani felt like a fairy tale. Our team handled everything so smoothly I could just focus on the incredible scenery. Machhapuchhre looked even more impressive in person. The company's attention to sustainable tourism and supporting local communities really impressed me. Will definitely trek with them again.

Trekked with Himalayan Forever in October and conditions were perfect. Crystal clear skies every morning. Our guide Pemba was fantastic – patient, knowledgeable, and had the best stories. The stone steps to Ulleri were brutal but the views made it worthwhile. Poon Hill delivered everything promised, and ABC was even better. Loved staying in family-run teahouses and learning about local life. The natural hot springs after all those uphill climbs were pure bliss. Flawless organization from start to finish.
