Ghorepani Poon Hill and Mardi Himal
My trek with Nature Explore was an absolutely unforgettable experience. It was my first time trekking in Nepal, and I know without a doubt that I’ll be back soon! I did a 9-day trek combining Poon Hill and Mardi Himal in January 2020 with two friends. We saw breathtaking sunsets and sunrises and incredible close-up views of majestic mountains like Machhapuchhre and Annapurna South. We hiked through the rainforest, around beautiful mountain villages, and crossed bridges suspended over rivers. After days of hard trekking we also bathed in natural hot springs, a well-deserved treat.
I could not have asked for a better guide than the one who led us, Chhabin KC. Not only was he very knowledgeable and experienced, but he also guided us through our journey with a fantastic attitude and sense of humor. One of the most rewarding parts of the trip was interacting with the local people, and learning about their culture and language. Chhabin helped make this part of the trip especially meaningful. It was very clear to me that the company cares very much about its clients and is willing to cater to their individual needs as much as possible. I would highly recommend Nature Explore to anyone hoping to trek in Nepal.

They took great care of our 2 year old!
We just came back from a trip to Nepal to do the Poon Hill trek with Nature Explore and it was absolutely wonderful!
first of all we started planning since May (we travelled in November) and i contacted many travel agents because i was very scared since we were going to trek with our 2 year old toddler. Nature Explore was the only agency that actually answered all my questions clearly and assuringly (instead of just replying with the formula copy/paste answer) they were very attentive and patient and happily answered every single small silly question i had!
They were the best priced and i was very happy with all the hotels and lodges they put us in, Bharat was our go to person and he was more than accommodating to our every need! he even gladly entertained our 2 year old and packed him fruits by himself which i found to be a blessing!
He is extremely knowledgable in mountaineering and was always ready and patient and fun to be around!
I was amazed at their generosity, they only charged my husband and i for a double room but actually always booked us the family room or triple room for our child! they even paid for all his food even when we insisted that we pay!!! i'm not saying that they will do the same with you (and honestly i don't think they should since they charged less than other agencies to begin with) but i just want to highlight their extreme willingness to please and accomodate. when was the last time someone offered you free stuff?!
I would highly recommend them and i would definitely do our next trek in Nepal with them!
