"Makalu Base Camp trek"

An amazing experience finely curated by TMC. A raft of operators offer similar packages but it was Roland (and TMC’s) expert knowledge and experience that builds confidence of risk management, operational ability and client support. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!

"Excellent, with one qualification"

We've now done four treks with The Mountain Company -- two short, two long. If we ever go back to the Himalayas, I'm fairly certain we'd use them again. They really seem to be head and shoulders above the competition, particularly on the less-traveled routes. Perhaps the best thing about them is their local guides. TMC seems to pay well and supported them through the pandemic. They've all been personable, knowledgeable, and skilled. The Western guides have also been very good. They're all pretty hardened, almost to a fault, which means that they were sometimes a little unaware of some of the group dynamics (so, e.g., more aggressive trekkers weren't reined in to keep the group together and moving at a safe pace), but they were (both) very skilled, experienced, and resourceful. TMC's logistics, safety measures, and knowledge of trail conditions are also excellent. The only reason I took off a star was that their medical protocols were disorganized and inconsistent, which for me detracted from the experience.

"I loved the Trek up to Ama Dablam"

It was my first time travelling with the Mountain Company & it really went off without a hitch. Every was pretty much on the mark as per our discussions prior to leaving. The guides and potters were great. A couple minor inconveniences but not big deal. You always have to remember where you are.
And then there was the people & the trek. People always smiling & kind. The trek was awesome.
I was left speechless.
2 thumbs up and I can't wait to get back there.

"Outstanding and personalized pre-trip…"

Outstanding and personalized pre-trip planning was foundational to a successful trip. On the ground in Nepal Roland and company also provided outstanding service and a great trip with no surprises and great experiences.

"The Mighty Kanchenjunga Circuit"

The overall experience was just incredible. Kanchenjunga is just such a remote part of Nepal, which makes it a great trek. You are not dealing with a lot of people as in some of the other treks. It is changing a lot in that area though. Being able to be in the high mountains and seeing the peaks of Kanchenjunga, Jannu, Makalu all while on the trek is just amazing. All of the small villages along the may are just amazing to explore while at the camps. The local people in all of these stops are so friendly and welcoming into their culture. Personal I can not wait to be back into that region of Nepal.
The Mountain Company and all their staff are just absolutely incredible. From the start of planning and prep for the trip they are always there to answer any and all of the questions that may come up. The local staff and guides while on trek are so experienced and knowledgable as well. They have created a itinerary that is set up for a very enjoyable and successful trekking experience. I cannot wait to take part in more of their trips.

"Exploring the Wilds of Bhutan - Snowman's Trek"

Having wanted to explore the Snow Leopard wild country of Bhutan - I had to wait through Covid and thankfully The Mountain Company had a visa as soon as they reopened. Since TMC has run this trek numerous times, we were very fortunate to be super cared for by local experienced guides. Food was great. Tent camping a breeze. The scenery was Spectacular. Absolutely no complaints. Seriously!

"Roland and his team ensured that despite an early abort of our main objective due to bad weather, we had a great Nepalese adventure"

Roland and his team ensured that despite an early abort of our main objective due to bad weather, we had a great Nepalese adventure. Plan B was put in place immediately, and the needs and wishes of each member of the team were considered and accomodated wherever possible. I'll use this company again.

"Everest High Passes trek"

The pre trip information was thorough and detailed. Our trek was well planned and we had excellent support from our local guides and porters.

"Great trip to the Far West of Nepal in…"

Great trip to the Far West of Nepal in November ‘22. That was the third trip I have done with this company this year. I have found them far better than other companies trekking in Nepal: personal interest of the owner/director, good western trek-leaders, and excellent Nepali support staff - porters, cooks, guides etc - whom they treat well. Will definitely aim to use them again soon.

"Kanchenjunga Circuit November 2022"

This was the second time I've travelled with the Mountain Company and I wouldn't consider any others for hiking in the Himalaya. Their attention to detail and responsiveness is better than any other travel company I've used. Their itineraries are well designed and frequently reviewed to ensure that they are accurate and work best with the conditions on the ground. Given the pace of change in the Himalaya, particularly the construction of new roads along former tracks, this is really important. I've found them very responsive, before the trek in terms of planning and advice, during the trek if any issues occur, and afterwards in seeking and responding to feedback given.
