Review
Poon hill hike March 2025
Was cloudy most of the time but finally got great views of the mountains at poon hill. Thank to my guide Manu and porter Rupak for making my experience as smooth as possible.
A great experience in Nepal
We went of the 4 day Poon Hill hike and had an unforgettable experience. The trek was beautiful and our guide, Purna, was very professional and accommodating. We had to shift our itinerary slightly to ensure that we got a clear viewing day at the top, and he made this possible! We were very appreciative! I definitely would recommend Mosaic Adventure for your trekking excursion while in Nepal.
Unforgettable experience
We had a fantastic trek and experience with our guide Pralhad who was so helpful and knowledgeable throughout. Poon Hill at sunrise was an incredible experience and I couldn’t recommend it enough! Due to personal reasons we had to push back our tour by 1 day, the Mosaic team were incredibly considerate and helped us do this.
Nice and Clean at kabaddi stadium
Quality hat but larger print needed
I love the quality and color (cream) of the hat - I was just a bit disappointed that the dog's name was so small. I feel that a font similar in size to "Protected by" would have been better.
GREAT product/FAST shipping
Fast shipping and just thrilled with the coffee cup!!! THANKS for great service.
A+++
