Explore Nepal's Most Loved Trails
Island Peak
Island Peak (Imja Tse, 6,189m) is Nepal's most popular trekking peak, combining the Everest Base Camp trek with a summit push. The climb involves glacier travel, fixed rope sections, and rewards with panoramic views of Lhotse, Makalu, and Ama Dablam.
Pokhara
Nepal's adventure capital sits on the shores of Phewa Lake with the Annapurna range as its backdrop. Pokhara offers paragliding, zip-lining, boating, and is the gateway to Annapurna treks. The lakeside area features vibrant cafes, shops, and the International Mountain Museum.
Kathmandu Valley
Explore seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites clustered in the Kathmandu Valley, including Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, Pashupatinath Temple, and the ancient Durbar Squares of Kathmandu, Patan, and Bhaktapur.
Upper Mustang
A former forbidden kingdom, Upper Mustang is a rain-shadow desert landscape of dramatic eroded cliffs, cave dwellings, and the medieval walled city of Lo Manthang. This restricted trek offers a rare glimpse into preserved Tibetan Buddhist culture and stark, otherworldly terrain.
Manaslu Region
The Manaslu Circuit is a remote, less-crowded alternative to the Annapurna Circuit. This restricted-area trek circles the world's eighth highest peak (8,163m), crossing the dramatic Larkya La pass at 5,160m and passing through pristine Tibetan-influenced villages.
Langtang Region
Often called the "Valley of Glaciers," Langtang is the closest trekking region to Kathmandu. The Langtang Valley trek passes through dense bamboo and rhododendron forests, traditional Tamang villages, and high-altitude cheese factories with views of Langtang Lirung (7,227m).
Everest Region
Trek in the shadow of the world's highest peak through the legendary Khumbu Valley. The Everest region offers trails to Base Camp and beyond, passing through Sherpa villages, ancient monasteries like Tengboche, and the bustling market town of Namche Bazaar at 3,440m.
Annapurna Region
The Annapurna region is Nepal's most popular trekking area, offering diverse trails from the classic Annapurna Circuit to the shorter Poon Hill trek. Home to the Annapurna Conservation Area, this region features stunning mountain panoramas, hot springs, and rich Gurung and Thakali culture.
Hand-Picked Treks for Every Adventurer
What Our Trekkers Say
As a landscape photographer, the Everest Base Camp trek was a dream assignment. Our guide knew exactly when and where to catch the best light on the peaks. The sunrise from Kala Patthar, the reflection of Ama Dablam in the Dudh Koshi, prayer flags against deep blue sky at Tengboche - every frame was a masterpiece. Poonhill Treks even arranged early departures to catch golden hour.

As a solo female traveler, I was initially nervous about trekking in Nepal. Poonhill Treks paired me with a wonderful female guide who made me feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the Poon Hill trek. The teahouses were welcoming, the trail was well-marked, and the whole experience empowered me. I'm coming back for ABC next year!

I'd dreamed of climbing a Himalayan peak for years and Island Peak with Poonhill Treks made it possible. The EBC trek was the perfect warm-up and acclimatization. The climbing training day at Chukhung built our confidence. Summit day was tough - the fixed rope sections were intense - but reaching 6,189m and seeing the view of Lhotse was the greatest achievement of my life. The climbing Sherpas were absolute professionals.

From the moment we landed in Kathmandu to our final dinner in Pokhara, the Poonhill Treks team made us feel like family. Our guide anticipated our needs before we even asked - extra blankets when it got cold, ginger tea when we felt unwell, and always a smile and encouragement. The ABC trek was challenging but incredibly rewarding. Thank you for the memories!

Upper Mustang is unlike anything else in Nepal or the world. The desert landscape, the ancient walled city of Lo Manthang, the sky caves - it felt like stepping back in time. The permit cost is worth every penny for this unique experience. Our guide grew up in the region and his local connections opened doors that wouldn't be possible otherwise. The monastery visits were deeply moving.

The Mardi Himal trek was recommended by a friend who said it's the best-kept secret in the Annapurna region. She was right! Walking along the ridge above the clouds with Machapuchare towering beside us was surreal. The trail is less maintained which adds to the adventure. Our guide found the best viewpoints and the forest camp was incredibly peaceful.

If you want a trek that feels wild and remote, the Manaslu Circuit is it. We barely saw other trekkers for days at a time. The Larkya La pass crossing was physically demanding but our guide and porters were incredibly supportive. The Tibetan-influenced villages and ancient monasteries gave the trek a cultural richness beyond just mountain views. This is what trekking should be.

The Langtang Valley trek was exactly what I was looking for - fewer crowds, authentic village life, and stunning scenery. The yak cheese at Kyanjin Gompa was delicious! Climbing Tserko Ri was challenging but the panoramic views were worth every step. Our guide was knowledgeable about the earthquake recovery efforts and it was humbling to see the community's resilience.

My wife and I chose the Poon Hill trek as our first Himalayan experience and it was perfect. Not too demanding, incredibly scenic, and the Gurung villages were so welcoming. The guide adjusted the pace to our comfort level. The views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna from Poon Hill at sunrise were spectacular. Highly recommend for beginners!

Chose the EBC trek as my first major trekking expedition and I couldn't have been in better hands. The acclimatization schedule was well-planned, and our guide Pemba shared fascinating stories about Sherpa culture and mountaineering history. Standing at Kala Patthar watching the sun rise over Everest brought me to tears. The Tengboche Monastery visit was a spiritual highlight.
