Lunana Snowman Traveller Reviews

I embarked on the Lunana Snowman trek with the Mountain Company in October 2022. I had already been converted to trekking with the Mountain Company and had wanted to do Snowman for some time. The trip was exceptional on every way. It is an amazing trek but my appreciation of it was enhanced in so many ways by the planning and care of the Mountain Company before and throughout the trek. Through their years of experience they had put together a wonderful team who, together with our great leader Nat, looked after us every inch of the way so all we had to do was push ourselves to get over the passes, wonder at the scenery and eat incredibly well in the remotest of locations. My thanks to all of TMC for this.

Brilliant organisation and attention to detail which gives you a feeling of complete confidence. So important when you are approaching something both unique and challenging. Roland the MD is great in providing all necessary pretrip information and keeping one informed to the moment of departure

Bhutan is a special country and we had the privilege to explore beautiful and remote regions. From friendly villages to isolated valleys with no-one there except an occasional nomadic yak herder. This was a long trek of 27 nights camping and every day brought new highlights: the mountains (Jonolhari, Jichu Drake, Gangkhar Puensum, Table Mountain), the passes (Gophu La, Saga La, all 14 of them), the villages of Laya and Thanza, the hot springs at Dur Tsachu. A spectacular trip.

The Mountain Company is superb in every respect. Roland and Natalie are supremely professional and very experienced. The crew was exceptional from the senior local guide right through the last horseman. The chef was amazing and produced fantastic food from the first day to the last. I felt guiltily pampered throughout. This was my second trip with TMC and I'm sure I'll be back. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Our trekking holiday with The Mountain Company though the remote Snowman Trek in Bhutan was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Pre-trip information, communication, and logistics were well organized and the entire expedition in Bhutan was exceptional. All trekking guides, kitchen crew, and support staff were excellent, kind, and generous - providing top-notch service throughout the 28 trek, including excellent meals throughout. The Snowman Trek itself was fantastic, trekking through amazing Himalayan vistas, remote villages, pristine forests, and other spectacular landscapes. We also enjoyed the acclimatization days in the Haa Valley and cultural visits before and after the trek. A top-notch expedition to a remote corner of the world with some of the best international and local guides and crew. Thank you!

Our tour operator, The Mountain Company, was absolutely fantastic. Pre-trip information and communication are beyond expectation - prompt and thorough. Our international guide was absolutely fantastic - extremely experienced and professional. All trek logistics were provided without a flaw. I would highly recommend The Mountain Company. This is my second trip with them and I'm sure we will be back for additional treks in the future.

Had an amazing time trekking The Snowman Trek with The Mountain Company and team. Would highly recommend them for anyone considering this beautiful trek in Bhutan.

The Mountain Company was fortunate to get a trek visa for Bhutan as soon as they opened. The Snowman's Trek was everything I had hoped for. Great group, visits to spiritual sites, treking in Noman territories, and of course great views.

The Mountain Company has run the Snowman's Trek for over 12 years. Therefore, this was a very well-organized tour with amazing local guides and the great oversite of Roland and Natalie. They were amazingly thoughtful and responsive. The local guides were incredibly organized and took care of all our needs. Can't imagine a better tour operator.

What an incredible experience I had …. Truly challenging but thoroughly rewarding…. Both physically and mentally …. The Lunana Snowman trek was through a variety of beautiful, rugged and extraordinarily expansive landscapes …. Towering mountain peaks, spectacular mountain passes offering breathtaking views, glacier rock valleys, rhododendron covering mountain sides, miniature alpine flowers …. naming just a few of this expedition highlights …. Absolutely there were times it was extremely demanding … whether that was due to weather, trail conditions, tiredness and/or exhaustion or the continual effort this trek demands from you …. Luckily, any negative feelings were short lived due to the total team commitment for everyone to succeed … this helped everyone through any and all difficulties A very special thanks to the team leaders and support staff … they were excellent in every way ….

Mountain Company needs to be commended on its thoroughness and attention to detail … everything was covered within the information package … there was nothing omitted … all queries and questions answered promptly … google group formed for all participants … The trek team leaders and guides were exceptional and completely committed to the safety and welfare of everyone on the team…. The leaders and support staff were competent, personable and showed great hospitality. They shared their country and their culture with knowledge, pride and passion, which was very much appreciated. I highly recommend Mountain Company to everyone …

Remote 4 week trek in Bhutan - trek covered many passes at high altitude.

The Mountain Company run a standout organisational support for their treks with total involvement in all aspects of the trip. This is the main feature to set them apart from many large international competitors who contract out to a local agency while keeping a substantial part of the trip cost. I gave a couple of feedback points which were readily acknowledged and will be incorporated into future trips.

The views of the trek were amazing, the guide knowledgeable and the food and hospitality are excellent. This is a life-changing experience for me.

Well planning and experienced staff. The tour guides, porters and chefs are all helpful and supportive. I am happy to join the trip through The Mountain Company.

We spent ask excellent 35 days in Bhutan hiking in the mountains and visiting remote villages and temples. The trip was very professionally organised and executed.

At any stage before our during the trip we were able to get prompt and comprehensive answers to questions and the execution of the trip was perfect.

I took part in the 33-day Snowman Trek in Bhutan w a group through the Mountain Company. it was amazing experience: the food was excellent, the local crew was amazing, not to mention the awesome nature and sceneys. Bhutan is an incredible country w deep Buddhist culture, would not hesitate to do it all over again.

TMC gave us very detailed and organized info before hand to help prepare and train for the trip, and during the trek has very experienced TMC as well as local guides to help us trek through high altitude terrain with extended camping (28 days) w/o complications. The local crew was simply superb, food wonderful - the food on the trek and the fun and caring local staff really separated TMC from other operators!
