We had engaged Outfitter for the 5 days scenic Poon Hill trek. They’re chosen because of their competitive fee, no hidden costs & what were included & excluded were clearly spelled out in the website. More importantly was their excellent customer service, support & professionalism rendered before & during the trek. The coordinator Raj was promptly in replying my queries / emails before the trip. And we were blessed to have experienced guide Hom to lead the team. Hom was professional, caring & passionate in his work. He took care the wellbeing of hikers & the service was impeccable. Well done. The guide Hom and the 3 hardworking ultra fit porters Prakash, Binod and Bhuban displayed excellent teamwork to take care of us. The guesthouses were cleaned with attached toilet except one at Tadapani was shared toilet but not an issue at all. Hot & yummy meals were served with many choices and it was included in the package. At the end of day Outfitter even presented plaque to each of us for completing the trek instead of usual paper certificate! Outfitter, see you again in Nepal for next trek
