Everest Base Camp 6

 The views from Poon Hill are some of the best we’ve ever experienced - uninterrupted, panoramic views of some of the largest and most photogenic Himalayan mountains, including Dhaulagiri, Nilgiri, Machhapuchhare, Annapurna II and Lamjung. It also happens to be the spot where the two of us got engaged - so we can definitely vouch for how epic a place it is!

What’s more, its affordable - treks to Poon Hill Ghorepani start at around USD $150 pp (NPR 10,500).

Everest Base Camp 5

 This three-day trek is essentially a microcosm of what a longer Nepalese mountain trek is like.

It passes through quaint villages, up many, many stairs, between jungles and over rivers, and before ultimately ending up at altitude (3,200m), with your head amongst the tallest mountains in the world. 


It really is the perfect way to ease yourself into trekking in Nepal.

Everest Base Camp 3 POON HILL / GHOREPANI

 High in the Sagarmatha National Park lies the Gokyo Lakes, a set of incredible turquoise glacial lakes surrounded by some of the tallest peaks in the world. It’s incredibly beautiful and worth the hike. Also takes in Renjo, Chola and Kongma La passes.
