Kangchenjunga adventure

Luxury Everest Base Camp, Nepal by Paul , 15 Dec 2018
Holiday Rating:

A superbly organised holiday to Everest Base Camp (EBC) which perfectly satisfied the lifelong ambitions of three ageing Fogies!

A fourteen consecutive day luxury trek in Nepal from Lukla to EBC and back to Lukla. The fourteen days included three acclimatisation days. The Mountain Company provided two guides, each of whom were professionally fantastic at their jobs and kept us moving and safe over the fortnight, and lovely guys to boot. They also provided two porters, also great at their jobs. The pre-tour info, answering of questions/queries, communications, accommodation, ...

See answer to question just above. In summary I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending The Mountain Company.

The Mountain Co. Is the way to go When you want a trek with some substance. You'll enjoy the grub In the mountain hub Of Karakoram's paths of great distance. The staff is hard-working with much to do - Yet they know how to care for a Motley Crew! They watch out for your safety; For your comfort - that's key. These leaders are tho-rough And they look out for ya! Karakoram's a BEAUTY - Hard to put into words; A place for adventurers And even for nerds! You'll be out in the bundu And should trouble pursue The crew is well-trained, You will not be disdained! Contact with London is maintained throughout, Of the personal touch there is no doubt. Itinerary's well-planned; Lotsa rocks and some sand; Good giggles with fellow trekkers, That's the life! we say as back packers. If you want a great trip - this is the place to be, Just don't hesitate - choose TMC! Consider these thoughts I've penned down here, So, to you, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Ladakh Sky Trail GHT in India by Mac , 14 Dec 2018
Holiday Rating:

The wonderful scenery of Ladach.

This was an adventurous 23 trek through 3 different areas in the ladach region. Three days in Leh before that to acclimatise, A drive to lamayara then over the first pass. A trip organised and run by Almas who everyone new of from previous treks. Little rain in this mountain desert just wonderful rock features and a little dust. The second phase of the canyons on the old spice route added some real excitement followed by the high grazing country ...

A trip organised and run by Almas who everyone new of from previous treks. Little rain in this mountain desert just wonderful rock features and a little dust. The second phase of the canyons on the old spice route added some real excitement followed by the high grazing country (over 5000 mtrs) of rolling country. Goats by the thousands and yaks. A pleasant finish by the lake and a wee drive back to Leh the next day.

Rating for tour operator:

The Mountain Company has a good reputation on these harder treks and seem to be able to deliver what they promise. Their guide Almas on this trip would have to be one of the best.

Ama Dablam Base Camp in Nepal by Jamie S, 13 Dec 2018
Holiday Rating:

A "breath taking" trek through the Himalayas to the Ama Dablam Base Camp.

A trip to put on your bucket list. The difficulties associated with altitude on this trip, disappeared into insignificance. The experience was one of joy and elation at having the opportunity to trek through these sacred lands. We were humbled not only by the landscape but by the wonderful people who live and work in this special place. True and honourable custodians of this land.

Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley by SnoMo, 5 Dec 2018

Manaslu Circuit with Tsum Valley in Nepal

This is a 24 day trip with 19 trekking days. It was an amazing experience with magnificent view of Manaslu and other mountain ranges. Also learned about local culture from trekking through local villages. There were some long days but well worth the effort. The crew was always there to let a hand. I am very slow going down but never was left on my own or rushed as a crew member was always there with me.

Great! Five-stars! The Mountain Company is an amazing tour operator. It provides timely response to questions, listen to feedback from clients and the crew. Implement changes if and when required to improve the experiences of its clients. Environmental friendly by participating in cleaning up the trails and promote environmental friendly practices. Ensure ethical treatment of crew by providing them with the necessary equipment and ensure they do not carry excess weight.

The Mountain Company is a finely tuned guide service. It is professional, effective, efficient, organized, and highly affective to the needs of its clients. Who knows the width and depth of a guide service if absolutely everything goes smoothly. The 'True Grit' of a service organization is revealed when its staff/crew flawlessly problem solve any issues as they occur. It is noteworthy when highly acceptable solutions are presented.
