The Mountain Company Traveller Reviews

Trekking itineray very well designed. Accommodation and food of a high standard and met the trip description. The guide and porter assigned to us were absolutely fantastic, incredibly professional yet friendly with wonderful warm spirits.They gave us a personalised insight to the people and culture of the mountain villages. Trekking arrangements i.e. flights, taxi transfers, permits, initial greeting pre trek from the guide were all exceptionally well planned. The Nepalese people are are very welcoming. I will definitely return to Nepal.

The Mountain Company totally professional but pre trip, during the trip and post trip. Absolutely no hic- ups, everything went to plan with incredible precision. Would recommend to anyone wishing to go trekking.

A 21d trekking trip in the Himalaya preceded by a day sightseeing in Kathmandu where we managed to visit most of the major sights. The needs of the differently paced trekkers were taken into account with plenty of time to rest and soak in the scenery. This trip was essentially two treks - one along the enchanting Tsum valley staying in Mu Gompa monastery at the head of the valley and then trekking back down the valley to re-join the popular Manaslu trek. There were days of heavier exertion on both treks through forests and dipping down to rivers as we got ever closer to some very big mountains including Manaslu, the eight highest mountain in the world. A comfortable night's sleep could be obtained at all the teahouses along the way after a filling meal. The highest point was the Larkya La pass at 5135 metres tackled after an early start and where we were lucky enough to be able to soak up the sunshine before the steep descent.. On the last part of our Manaslu trek we met the waves of trekkers walking in the opposite direction on the Annapurna circuit.

Roland Hunter at the Mountain Company answered all my questions in a phone call and I was able to book both the trip and flights around a month before the start of the trip. The trekking team was very well organised and there was a good team spirit with attention to the individual needs of each trekker. We never felt rushed and despite the physical exertion integral to a trek of this kind the word relaxing could be used in connection with it. On some days we collected rubbish from the trail and delivered framed posters to the hotels about Going Green. The team had two satellite phones if difficulties occurred and a two very well stocked medical bags. I have no hesitation in recommending the Mountain Company - others in the trek group had used them before - and would choose them again if I have the opportunity to visit the Himalaya again in the future.

This camping trek is a stunning trek through the different landscapes of Nepal. It really is a trek that keeps on giving. Many treks can lose interest after the high pass crossing however with this trek the interest stayed right until the final day walking - significant scenery and cultural changes every few days: deep river gorges, then glacial valleys, the wind eroded and arid landscapes of Mustang, then views of big mountains, and the rolling plains of the plateau.

We have travelled on a number of occasions with the Mountain Company and even as they have grown the personal level of service and the attention to detail has been maintained.

This trip was an amazing adventure from start to finish. It's something I had wanted to do for a long time and it certainly did not disappoint!

I was delighted with the service from this tour operator all the way through from my initial enquiry to the trip itself. The attention to detail and response times to questions were excellent. The itinerary for the trip appealed more to me than what competitors were offering and I liked the smaller group sizes with excellent guide to trekker ratio. I was very well looked after!

Wonderful 14 days trek from Lukla to Everest Base Camp, taking in Namche Bazaar, Thame, Ama Dablam Base Camp, EBC and of course Kala Pattar. Great Lodges, food stops and it goes without saying - viewnery.

The Mountain Company nailed the acclimatisation itinerary with plenty of days to get the body in tune and make the key destinations of Everest and Ama Dablam based camps a pleasure as well as the climbs of Nangkartshang and Kala Pattar. Our guides were superb.

A challenging trek (approx 400km) in remote parts of Bhutan.

Well organised with great attention to detail, pre, during and post trek. The crew were top notch. A month of trekking in remote parts - no one got sick or injured, everyone completed the trek. The Mountain Company were efficient and thorough, operating with integrity and responsibility.

Ladakh Sky Trail proved to be a varied and interesting destination. The itinerary provided for excellent acclimatization, and visits to some interesting monasteries before setting off on the trail. The scenery was outstanding, and the itinerary all flowed nicely.

The Mountain Company continues to deliver quality products from the organisation of camp crew, experienced leaders, clear communication and realistic prices. Roland was most helpful when we encountered a few problems along the way, all of which were resolved effectively. His on-site support in Ladakh is so helpful too.

Great experience, well managed by the Mountain Company both in the UK and in Pakistan. The Guides and support staff were very amazing.

The Mountain Company is an experienced and knowledgeable operator, who are very well managed. The information and guidance prior to our departure was very good and ensured everyone was well prepared for the trek. The Mountain Company's Pakistan based support staff and guides were amazing, very helpful and knowledgeable of the local area, often going out of their way to meet our needs. The food whilst very nutritional, could be improved upon, with a bit more variety for lunches and evening meals. All in all an amazing experience, in a country not known for tourism, we felt safe and well looked after, I would highly recommend the Mountain Company.

22 day trek. Fantastic landscapes and culture. Very rewarding. Excellent food and organisation. Highly recommended.

The Mountain Company and trekking guide Almas Khan are top operators and can be trusted. They know the region and were very responsive both before and during the trek. Without question we'd use TMC again as our preferred trekking company for the Himalayas.

Manaslu Circuit
