I recently had the privilege to go on the Annapurna Poonhill Trek with Happyland Treks, and it did surpass my expectations. This trek not only just emphasizes the view, but what makes it great is the combination of natural beauty, cultural immersion, and the physical challenge. The views were also some of the best I ever witnessed. The sunrise from the Poonhill was probably the best part of this trek. Thanks to the guide’s tika, I gained a lot of insights into the region, its culture, and its traditions. For someone, who seeks adventure with great rewards, Happyland Treks won’t let you down.

The Annapurna Poon hill trek, which was organized with Happyland, was a close-to-heart type of experience. Showcasing some of the best wonders here in Nepal. The trek was smoothly planned, and the guides were top-notch. Ensuring our safety throughout the way, and providing us with insights on almost everything. The 360 panoramic views from the top of Poon hill were something out of this world. I highly recommend this trek for those who want a thrilling yet easy trek in Nepal.

The Annapurna Poonhill trek with Happyland Treks, made me learn many things. The trekking route was greatly planned, taking us through lush forests, and charming villages along the backdrop of Annapurna Ranges. I still cherish the sunrise from the top of Poonhill. The majestic view of the snow-capped mountain is still clear as if the memories were fresh. The guides contributed a lot to making this trek a great one, and I want to thank them for these great memories. Highly recommend it for all nature enthusiasts.

This was our first ever hike, and it was a great introduction. Some parts were challenging but doable. Gorgeous nature and never too busy or congested. We chose the Happyland treks for this trip as they seemed very friendly when we first called. After we arrived in Nepal, we became sure that we chose the right agency. They were very friendly and supportive. I forgot to bring medicine, and they helped me to locate a pharmacy at Thamel. Our guide was also a huge help during the trek. We had a worry-free trek mostly because of our experienced guide. He always kept our safety as his priority, and we felt safe with him.
