Everest Base Camp in Nepal Traveller Reviews

Everything about our trek to Everest Base Camp with the Mountain Company was very well organised. From start to finish, they provided experienced and kind guides, comfortable lodges and plenty of good food. All we had to do was focus on hiking and taking in the magnificent scenery. What really made the Mountain Company stand out for me was their careful and thoughtful approach to high-altitude trekking. As someone without previous experience at high altitudes, I felt safe and well-supported throughout the journey. Unlike some other organisations, the Mountain Company built in one or two additional acclimatisation days into the itinerary, and I believe this made a real difference. These extra days were not simply rest days — they were used to explore off-the-beaten-track routes, such as a beautiful hike to Ama Dablam Base Camp. This was an excellent way to adapt gradually to the altitude, reducing the risk of altitude sickness. The guides were very attentive to our health, carrying an extensive medical kit and monitoring us closely, including evening check-ups with oxygen saturation measurements. Their experience gave me a lot of confidence and peace of mind. In short, I was very happy that I chose to book with the Mountain Company and without any hesitation, I will absolutely choose them again for future treks in the Himalayas or Karakoram mountains.

The Mountain Company was very professional and well organised throughout the entire trek. They provided experienced guides, good food, comfortable lodges and built in extra acclimatisation days to help us adjust safely to the altitude. I felt very well looked after and would definitely choose them again for future trekking adventures.

An enjoyable and beautiful first trek with the The Mountain Company. The itinerary, including greater time for acclimatisation and an interesting alternative higher route on the return, greatly helped in making the trek a real pleasure.

Roland was super helpful with advice and guidance before the trek and TMC's organisation, logistics, comms and local team were excellent throughout. Would highly recommend and already planning future treks with TMC.

My trek to Everest Base Camp with The Mountain Company was a fantastic blend of challenge and enjoyment. The itinerary, slightly different from the usual, proved effective for acclimatization, making the journey physically demanding yet thoroughly enjoyable. The return journey, featuring an alternative route, added a unique dimension with its own set of challenges, showcasing the diverse landscapes of the Himalayas. What set The Mountain Company apart was their excellent communication and seamless logistical support. From permits to accommodations, every detail was taken care of, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the trek without worrying about the logistics. Any concerns were promptly addressed by Roland and his attentive team, adding an extra layer of reassurance to the entire experience. In summary, The Mountain Company crafted an exceptional Everest Base Camp trek, combining a thoughtfully designed itinerary, strategic planning, and top-notch customer service for an unforgettable Himalayan adventure.

The Mountain Company is an outstanding adventure travel provider that excels in delivering memorable experiences. Their meticulous planning, efficient logistics handling, and attentive customer service set them apart. With a commitment to seamless journeys and quick resolution of concerns, The Mountain Company, in my opinion, stands as a reliable choice for travelers seeking high-quality adventure tours.

Decided it was time to pull the trigger on this trip EBC and after a lot of research The Mountain Company was 100% the most professional and experienced I found the longest days for hiking 🥾 and 2 Sherpa and 2 porters for a group of 5 full med back up with Sat phones . Safety first with professional experienced Sherpa. If your thinking of going don’t hesitate to give Roland a ring he will always talk to you no matter what he has summit experience . Best three weeks of my life Amazing 😎🙏👍

The Mountain Company Roland Hunter / amazing company and the best I found to go and do this experience as you have to take into account everything from insurance to professional guides and Sherpas which the mountain company has to make this a journey of a lifetime .

Our trek to Everest Base Camp with The Mountain Company was superb. From the early planning process to the pre-trek check, questions were addressed quickly and completely by Roland and The Mountain Company team. Upon arrival in Nepal through our departure, the trek far exceeded expectations. Examples include our excellent guide and porter, intra-country travel, the lodging arrangements, safety protocols, the well designed itinerary (which enabled a couple of novice trekkers with limited experience at altitude to acclimatize to the increasing elevations without problem), wonderful meals, insightful advice regarding Nepal, culture, trekking, the geography, etc. Even the weather was fully cooperative! Many thanks to The Mountain Company for making this such an amazing experience!

All the details and arrangements for our time in Nepal were handled in a complete, professional and enjoyable fashion.

All the treks that I have been on were very well organized. The trekking days took into consideration of acclimatization. The cultural activities made the treks even more meaningful.

The Mountain Company is always very responsive to all enquiries. All the treaks are well planned. The right equipment, such safety gears are planned for each trek. Roland Hunter, the owner, is very ethical and environmentally friendly. He ensures all the Nepalese crew are well taken care of and safety is a priority for all. He promotes environmentally friendly trekking and even pay the crew to pick up garbage on the trail. I have been trekking with The Mountain Company since 2015 and would continue to do so until I cannot trek anymore.

It was an amazing trek, very well prepared and organised. The guides were outstanding and really helped us in learning about Nepal and the culture.

Hebi and Bal were wonderful. Professional, personal and fun. They took very good care of us, and made us feel at ease. They were a pleasure with which to travel.
