If you are looking for a trek that packs the maximum amount of ‘wow’ factor into a short amount of time, Ghorepani Poon Hill is it. I’ve done several treks in the Himalayas, but nothing prepares you for the moment the first light hits the peaks of Mt. Dhaulagiri and Annapurna from the top of Poon Hill. Standing there at 3,210m, surrounded by golden mountains as the sun rises, is a spiritual experience that stays with you forever.
The trail itself is a dream—walking through ancient, rhododendron-filled forests, passing through charming Gurung villages, and climbing the famous stone stairs. It isn’t ‘easy’ per se, but it is incredibly rewarding. The teahouse culture is fantastic; ending the day with a hot plate of Dal Bhat and a warm cup of ginger lemon tea by a wooden stove was the highlight of my evenings. It’s the perfect introduction to Nepal’s trekking scene for beginners and pros alike.
In the field of tourism, experience speaks for itself and Mr. Sujan Kapri has a lot of those. He has over two years of experience as a porter guide and 4 years as a mountain guide. He has always sought something more than just plain travel and finds great fun in adventures. While today he might be a veteran, Mr. Kapri started at the village of Sahid Lakhan in Gorkha. He explored the serene forests in the foothills of the Ganesh, Shringi, and Mansiri ranges.
Since his early childhood, Kapri has taken on numerous endeavors across Nepal to explore the country and recognize the challenges that lie ahead. Having seen and experienced the beauty himself, Mr. Kapri seeks to implement and organize innovative trips and services. As a Tour Operator, Kapri is responsible for rather lucrative trips and offers across Nepal. At High Route Adventure, Kapri makes sure that the beauty of Nepal is appreciated by all kinds of travelers.
