What a journey! The variety of this trek is outstanding – warm valleys, dense forests, alpine meadows, and glacial terrain. Himalayan Forever's guides were professional and genuinely cared about our safety and enjoyment. The gradual ascent via Ghorepani helped with altitude adjustment. ABC at sunrise was otherworldly, completely surrounded by giants. The cultural immersion in Ghandruk and Chomrong villages added such depth. Already recommending Himalayan Forever to everyone back home.
Review for 15 days Annapurna Base Camp with Ghorepani Poonhill Trek
Himalayan Forever made this 15-day trek absolutely unforgettable. From Pokhara to the base camp, every detail was sorted. The food at the lodges was surprisingly good – dal bhat became my favorite! Our guide's knowledge of the flora, fauna, and local culture enriched the experience tremendously. Watching the sunrise from Poon Hill and then days later standing at 4130m at ABC felt like two incredible adventures in one. The hot spring stop was genius planning. Worth every rupee.

Booked this trek somewhat last minute and Himalayan Forever handled everything brilliantly. The teahouses were cleaner and more comfortable than I expected. Our porter Mingma was a legend, always smiling despite carrying so much. The variety on this route is fantastic – you get the famous Poon Hill sunrise AND the intimacy of ABC. Chomrong village was a highlight for me, such warm hospitality from the Gurung people. Already planning my return to Nepal with this company.

I'd never trekked at altitude before and was nervous, but Himalayan Forever's team made it so manageable. The pace was perfect for acclimatization, and our guide Dawa checked on everyone constantly. Ghorepani village was charming, and the rhododendron forests were stunning. The combination of cultural villages and dramatic mountain scenery kept every day interesting. ABC itself was absolutely magical – waking up surrounded by 7000m peaks is something I'll never forget.

The sunrise from Poon Hill left me speechless – watching the Annapurna range light up in shades of gold and pink was worth every stone step. Our guide Rajesh knew every trail and village like his own backyard. Himalayan Forever arranged everything perfectly, from permits to comfortable lodges. The hot springs at Jhinu were the perfect reward after days of trekking. Standing at ABC surrounded by those massive peaks made me feel incredibly small yet strangely connected to something greater. Can't recommend this company enough for making this journey seamless.
