Everest Base Camp in Nepal Traveller Reviews

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.

Wonderful trek from Lukla to Base Camp in the footsteps of the Edmund Hillary with members of his family

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.

Trek to Everest Base Camp along the trail taken by Sir Edmund Hillary. The trek was led Robert Mads Anderson and Peter Hillary.

Provided all the necessary information (required equipment, hours of trekking per day, condition of the trails, etc) regarding the trek. Very responsive to all inquiries. Ensure everything is taken care of from start to finish.

Kathmandu to Lukla to Everest Base Camp and back.

Top people who know their business and know the terrain, the challenges, the many details of a long, complicated trip, and are able to adapt to the changing needs of the group and somehow manage to run a successful trip at great odds.

This was a culmination of a number of adventures undertaken by someone old enough to know better. As a septuagenarian, I think I was saving the best until last, I certainly don't know now what I can do to top it. The tour was structured so very well, and our guide judged our ability admirably. Although we had trained hard for it, there is no substitute for doing a trek like this at high altitude. The Everest region is the most unspoilt and remarkable place I have seen in many years of travelling, and will forever occupy a place in my mind, and my heart.

The Mountain Company came recommended by a friend, and rightly so. Our guide ensured we got away to and from Lukla airport on time, when others were less fortunate because of the weather. We did so because we were first there and as anyone who knows the region, mornings are clearest. The lodges chosen were as good as any I imagine are available unless one is opting for luxury travel, and the overnight stops were planned to allow us to acclimatise properly, with the 'days off' used to climb high, sleep low. We will probably never know if it was this or the Diamox, or a combination of the two which prevented us suffering from altitude sickness, but the fact that we didn't is testament to the tour operators experience and pre-tour advice. The latter included recommendations on the kit we would need, and because of our age, they insisted on a sensible vetting process. The fact that we achieved our goal is in no small measure down to this and the preparation beforehand. I would not hesitate to recommend The Mountain Company to anyone.
