Expertly organised
I expected the trek to be outstanding because of the beauty of the area but I did not expect the organisation of the trip to be so completely seamless. At every possible transition there was no waiting or confusion, the transfers were immediate, the mountain lodges all booked and ready (and we saw several other groups and people being turned away). Our guide Buddi was a true expert and his deputy Dipen and the porters were brilliant, great ...

At every possible transition there was no waiting or confusion, the transfers were immediate, the mountain lodges all booked and ready (and we saw several other groups and people being turned away). Our guide Buddi was a true expert and his deputy Dipen and the porters were brilliant, great fun & knowledgable about the areas we trekked in. We felt like we were cared about, not just a body on a trek. The pace was perfect and our group of 4 was just right (we saw groups of 14!). We were able to enjoy the trek & the beauty without being concerned about logistics, what a wonderful position to be in

Best trek for superb mountain views
This is a great company that provides point by point communication and attention to details. The head guide was well chosen to blend the needs of all the clients. The food and food preparation was excellent. Attention was paid to care and cleanliness to avoid illness on the trek. The local support crew was excellent and was also on target with camp preparation and helping the clients. The camp sites provide great views of more 7 and 8000 meter ...
This is a great company that provides point by point communication and attention to details. The head guide was well chosen to blend the needs of all the clients. The food and food preparation was excellent. Attention was paid to care and cleanliness to avoid illness on the trek. The local support crew was excellent and was also on target with camp preparation and helping the clients. The camp sites provide great views of more 7 and 8000 meter peaks than most any place in the world. The timing of the trip length was excellent to help with acclimatization. The whole package from start to finish makes this group and this trek one of the best treks on the planet.
Rating for tour operator:As above The Mountain Company UK is very well organized with an excellent website and good documents to provide all the necessary information you need for details, supplies, and data for the trek. Communication about issues or questions is quick and complete. Attention to detail and support is excellent.
Fantastic experience with a highly professional company.
Our trip to Everest Base Camp with the Mountain Company exceeded all expectations. I was impressed by highly informative and practical pre-trip advice, excellent guides and porters, high quality lodges and excellent route planning. As this was my first trek at altitude I didn't know what to expect but everything was excellent. I highly recommend this trek and the Mountain Company.

Rating for tour operator:The Mountain Company was highly professional, provided excellent advice, always available to answer queries and it was great to meet Roland Hunter before and after our trip in Kathmandu. I would use this company every time!
Excellent Dhaulagiri circuit April-May 2016
I trekked around Dhaulagiri, crossing the French (5,380 m) and Dhampus (5,250 m) passes, with an attempt on Dhampus peak (6,030 m) where I got to 5,800 m on the summit ridge. The trek was excellent and we were very lucky to have near perfect weather. Nevertheless, the trek was very well organized, with the group well prepared for the inclement weather and trail conditions frequently experience on this route. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience ...

Rating for tour operator:This was a very well organized trek, with excellent leadership by Almas Khan, and sirdar Domi Sherpa. I particularly appreciated us being allowed to walk at our own preferred pace, something I noticed was lacking among a lot of other groups on trail. The food throughout the trek was excellent and cook Saila Tamang and the kitchen staff did a splendid job.
Ama Dablam Base Camp - What a Good Do !!

Rating for tour operator:The Mountain Company - excellent from the start - no probs with booking - and all the extras (flights/insurance etc etc) were sorted easily. Guides (for Kathmandu tour and the trek itself) were top notch. The big plus was the sudden itinerary change required due to illness - caused absolutely no problems because we had a guide and a proper company backing us up - a couple of phone calls and everything was sorted with minimum fuss - the reason for travelling with a bona fide company.
Spectacular.
I trekked with the Mountain Company on the Nepal Dhaulagiri Circuit. The route was well planned; we saw the breadth of Nepal from villages in river valleys at 600 meters to prayer flags at the 6000 meter passes. Overall, a spectacular trek with great service on the trail and in Kathmandu.

Rating for tour operator:The trekking staff on the trail and in Kathmandu was superb. Excellent meals, solid organization and great service.
We were so well looked after, we could just relax and enjoy the experience of trekking in wonderful scenery.
We went sightseeing in Kathmandu with a friendly and very informative guide, then we did a 10 day trek in the mountains with another excellent guide and friendly porters. We stayed in simple guest houses, which were comfortable enough. Our guide organised everything for us and was also very good company.

Rating for tour operator:We found the Mountain Company on the Internet . They had a very informative website, and they run this particular holiday which was a good choice for us as older first time Trekkers because it was not quite as far as the Everest Base camp treks .
70th birthday in the Himalayas
Celebrated my father's 70th birthday by trekking together to Annapurna Basecamp. A very special 2 weeks we'll cherish for years to come.

Rating for tour operator:Meticulously thought out and prepared. Great pre-trip advice and responsiveness, organization on the ground, and most importantly on the trek itself. We always felt taken care of, and under experienced guidance. The trek crew even threw a surprise birthday party for us, hauling a freshly baked cake into a remote lodge on the way to ABC!
