Would you be able to offer assistance in buying gear for the trek? I am coming from Sri Lanka so don't have lots of warm clothing.

Is anyone already booked onto either the 15th or 17th December hikes?

I was wondering how many people are expected for this date as we do like travelling with a group. Also what would the cost be if we ended the trip once arriving back in Pokhara at the end of the trek. There we will book the last night on our own and will be staying for a few days before making it back to Katmandu on our own. Do you know the hotel you use in Pokhara? I do suffer a bit from car sickness but I am perfectly fine if the seat has a high back or I am sitting in the front. I was wondering what type of vehicle we would travel to Pokhara in on the way there, and what the seats are like.

We have 30 seats big tourist bus, and i do my best to provide you a front seat, and if you want to book your last day hotel in Pokhra, than the cost will deduct only 40USD from two of you, and you can stay in Pokhara as per your interest, and we use Hotel Hidden Kingdom in Pokhara.

I am thinking about booking 7 day Poon Hill trek April 7 2025 and wondering what days I should book my flights in and out of Kathmandu so that we can get picked up

if you want to start your trek on 7th of April, then you may have to arrive in Kathmandu at least on 6th of April, and 7th of April drive to Pokhara and as per our itinerary you will be back in Kathmandu on the 13th of April, so you can make your flight on 14th or 15th of April and if you want to explore few days in Kathmandu, and Pokhara, you can have your leisure days

I would like to book this trek for mid -late March 24. As a solo traveller I would like to do the trek as part of a group but if I am the only person booked on the trek will it still go ahead? If not how much notice will I get as I have to book a flight to Katmandu? Will I have to carry all my kit or will there be a porter? What will the temperatures be at this time of year? Will I need to bring a sleeping bag? Can you confirm the cost of the trek in Mid-late March? Can I extend my stay by a day or 2 in the hotel in Katmandu at the end?

Yes, you can book your trip for mid-late March 2024, and you can do even alone if we did not find any people, and we can departure your trek. If you want to make a flight from Kathmandu-Pokhara-Kathmandu, it cost you 115USD one way. There is a porter who carry your bag. It would be a getting hotter day by day, so not cold time. We will provide you a sleeping bag. The cost is same as per the Tourradar showing for the single person. Yes, if you want, you can extend your stay.

Can you do 7 day ABC circuit trek for beginners, traveling from India

We did the 7-day Ghorepani Poon Hill trek with Outfitter Nepal Treks and had the time of our lives! From the beginning to the end, the communication, organization and service was top level standard. We were lucky enough to have the most experienced guide and porter with us. Ravi, our guide, had 27 years of experience and could tell us everything about the trek, Nepali culture and history. He always organized the best rooms with the best views for us, was extremely attentive and customised the itinerary 100% to our wishes and fitness level. Bim, our porter, was super friendly, always greeted us with a big smile and helped us with everything we (didnt know) we needed. Overall, the level of service was much higher than we expected and than most other guides/porters provided. The trek itself was absolutely stunning, with unforgettable views of Annapurna and surrounding mountains. The Rhododendron forests in full blossom and the sunrise on Poon Hill were mesmerizing. We can fully recommend to book with Outfitter Nepal and ask for these 2 amazing guys to accompany you!Show more

I cannot speak highly enough of Outfitter Nepal. They were very professional in organising our 12 day tour of Nepal, including Kathmandu, Pokhara, 5 day Annapurna mountain trek and Chitwan National Park. Arjun was very helpful responding to my questions leading up to the trip. Our tour guide, Suraj, was fantastic. The porters did a sterling job carrying our packs on the mountain trek. The mountain trek was a great experience, but it was not for the fainthearted. I strongly recommend doing some hill climbing training beforehand, in particular, stair climbing (up’n’down). The welcome back dinner in Kathmandu was also a very nice surprise. All in all, I would have no hesitation recommending Outfitter Nepal.Show more

Stepping out of the KTM airport had us wide eyed, we'd just learnt that our luggage hadn't made it to Nepal and we walked out into a sea of people, with sights and sounds that we have no comparison for. We were met by our tour guide Harry, who soon after had a solid plan to get our luggage to us. Harry was a problem solver from day 1, and he made travelling with our 2 kids easy by organising family rooms at accomodation, or rooms close together where he couldn't. We thoroughly appreciated this. Our team from Outfitter, was one of the highlights of our trip. Rham, our assistant guide, gave me a helping hand on a trek day that i found challenging. And all of the porters greeted us with smiles and were always quick to ask how we were doing. They accepted our boys into their circle and chatted, played games and trekked with them. Great friendships have been made. The beauty of the Annapurna mountains were the right motivation to keep us trekking "up up up" and "down down down" for the next photo opportunity. A trip to Chitwan, got us up close and personal to some big creatures, while staying in a lux hotel, with 2 wonderful local guides. Nepal, her mountains and her people have left a lasting impression on this family, and I'm sure we will be back.Show more

Our tour with Outfitter Nepal was excellent. My husband and I were taken care of from the moment we landed in Nepal to the day we left Nepal. The hotels in Kathmandu and in Pokhara were very comfortable, and the guest houses along the trek were the best available. The meals were all excellent, even on the Trek. Always a wide selection, and always served fresh and warm. Most important was the excellent staff. Arjun was the overall tour operator, and made certain that the overall tour went smoothly for us. Everywhere we went throughout the tour, we were immediately taken care of and never had to wait. We even had made some changes to the dates of the tour, and Arjun was able to flex with our plans without any problems. As part of the tour, we had a very interesting day tour of Kathmandu. The city guides used for the tour were very knowledgeable, very organized, and spoke very clear English. After our stay in Kathmandu, we headed to Pokhara for the Trekking portion of the tour. The trek to Ghorepani was wonderful, and our guide for the Trek, Ravi, was fantastic! Ravi is clearly a professional guide and ensured of our comfort and safety throughout the Trek. Ravi went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful time on our Trek! Our porter, Raj was also very nice, and, despite carrying a heavy load, was always positive. It's quite amazing to see the technique of the Porters. Obviously very difficult work. Outfitter Nepal exceeded our expectations. This was our first time to Nepal, and our first trek. Outfitter Nepal took care of everything - enabling us to enjoy our vacation without any worry.Show more

We loved our visit to Nepal with Outfitters Nepal.. there was a great mix of everything to introduce us to this amazing country. The trek for us ( 70 year olds!) was a challenge which we really loved and because we could walk and climb at our own pace we accomplished it with no major problems and felt invigorated at the end of each wonderful day. We have returned home with great memories and an enriched understanding of the Nepalese people and the mountainous country they inhabit. We would certainly recommend “ Outfitters Nepal” as a great company to trek and explore with .. we found our guide and our porters excellent, friendly, trustworthy, informative and fun...

What an amazing trip!! I started emailing with Raj from Outfitter Nepal about 12 months before our trip. He answered all emails quickly and was fantastic in allowing me to personalise our itinerary. Nothing was too much trouble. Raj came to meet us on the day after we arrived in Kathmandu and talked us through our itinerary to check that everything was how it should be. The accommodations provided in Kathmandu and Pokhara were in great locations and were very clean and comfortable. Staff at both accommodations were excellent. Very helpful and polite. Teahouse accommodation on the trek were basic but clean and comfortable. Food provided was great..note though that drinks with meals on the trek are nt included in the price.Out guide, Suraj, and porter were fantastic. Suraj was kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. He was attentive (without being intrusive) and really understood our preference for how we wanted to trek (eg: pace etc) very quickly.Show more

This is a great trip for the money. Just be aware that some of the Tea house do not have a hot shower. The trails are very well maintained but are steep steps. Poles are a must to take pressure off the knees. The other option which is not included which should be is round trip Air from Kathmandu to Pokhara, The included tourist bus takes all day each way is not comfortable. I would recommend for $200 to do a round trip air. Tips for the guides 15% of what you pay for the trip. Please take note they have to provide their own meals along the way so please tip them generously. Make sure you take GOOD rain gear.Show more
