"Professionalism"

Having tried to gain information on trips to Nepal from a variety of reputable companies i found the mountain company to be the most attentive in fully answering our questions
Booking for the first visit in 2013 we found the whole mountain company either in UK or Nepal to be of the highest standard
Client satisfaction , safety and professionalism are of the highest order
The company pride themselves on caring for not only their clients but also their workforce which I feel is so important in this age

I would only ever return to Nepal with the Mountain Company leading the trip and would recommended their services to anyone

"Superb"

I have trekked with quite a few companies in Nepal, India and Pakistan and all of them have done a good job. However, TMC are by far the most focussed on safety and not just for the trekkers but for all the support staff and porters. The acclimatisation profile was superb and gave us all plenty of time to get used to the increase in altitude. Having been evacuated by helicopter once when I fell sick with the altitude, I realised just how important it is not to take shortcuts with this. It makes all the difference to your enjoyment of the holiday. Having an international qualified mountain guide is getting unusual now among the trekking companies and TMC stand out for having such a guide on many of their more demanding trips and I personally think this adds a lot of knowledge and experience to the team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Roland and TMC to anyone thinking of visiting the Himalaya.

"Stunning, personal, Everest High Passes Trek"

Roland and The Mountain Company provided excellent pre-expedition information and all questions were expertly dealt with prior to our departure to Nepal. Everything finally came together when we met in our hotel in Kathmandu with Roland, Joe (our expedition manager), Arjung our wonderful Sherpa guide and Sarky our shy but friendly, unflagging porter.
Kit was checked and the four of us were ready for our flight into Lukla. Our small group size enabled us to do alternative routes, as befit our fitness and the conditions which meant day to day decisions could be taken quickly and positively while enroute. Confirmed by Joe at base and Arjung.
An excellent expedition, expertly arranged and safely executed throughout.
I would not hesitate, in fact I have already recommended The Mountain Company to some of my like minded fellow adventurers who are seeking to go to Nepal and Everest.

Best wishes for the future

"A Wonderful Experience"

Introduced to the Mountain Company by a trekking veteran, who explained he wouldn't use anyone else in his Himalayan excursions. I can see why! Excellent communication throughout. Before, during and post trek. Met on arrival, briefed, introduced to our guides and porters. The whole event was seamless. A guided trek to Gokyo Ri, through wonderful landscapes, cultures and of course 'the mountains'. Breathtaking! The guides, porters were extremly professional, accomodation, food etc. was excellent. It truly was a wonderful experience made possible by The Mountain Company. Thank you. I simply have to return.

"Still owned and managed by the founder"

I have trekked in the Himalayas with 4 different trekking companies and, whilst all have been good, The Mountain Company has become my first choice for the following reasons
1) When you are researching a trek you can call Roland and get straight answers from someone who really knows the routes.
2) Treks are planned to give sufficient time to acclimatise and build in spare days so that you can make the most of the time at the high camps. Beware others that force their schedules to fit a 2 week window.

"Love the Mountain Company!"

Love the Mountain Company! We have done several trips with them and all of the experiences have been great. The trips are well organized/planned, fun and very professional. I especially love the respect they have for the local people who work for them and their continuous effort to minimize impact on the environment and sensitivity to the local culture. We expect to travel with them again soon.

"A very professional well run trip"

A very professional well run trip. From start to finish the organisation was first class. On the trek the guides and staff were excellent. I would highly recommend The Mountain company and I am looking forward to traveling with then again.

"This company will survive COVID and continue to deliver a top notch experience for very good reasons."

I have been on seven Himalayan treks in Nepal and Bhutan with The Mountain Company since 2009: Laya Gasa, Snowman, Mera Peak, Dhaulagiri, Upper Mustang, Upper Dolpo and Kitiphu Ridge and am planning at least two more. The company, led by Roland Hunter, is outstanding. The treks are thoroughly researched and recce'd. The trekking leaders are hand-picked and trained to the highest standard and unlike many companies the Mountain Company continues to employ highly qualified international leaders on the more challenging routes. You will see the same excellent leaders working for the Mountain Company year after year because of their high regard for and loyalty to this excellent company. Roland Hunter is a superb logistician and communicator, is unfailing in promptly replying to enquiries or concerns and will run through any proposed trek in detail with you to ensure that the trek is a realistic, safe and enjoyable experience for you. The company maintains the highest level of safety and it is always reassuring to know that the leaders are in frequent contact with head office via satellite phone whilst on trek. Each year the company comes up with new trekking routes to explore more remote areas of the mountains which means that I am open to new temptations every season. The Mountain Company has a family feel to it so that every time I land in Kathmandu and Paro it is like coming home. During COVID the company has continued to support and care for its crew in Nepal and Bhutan; has kept its finger on the pulse regarding travel regulations, has invested in researching new treks and has a realistic plan to return clients to the mountains for 2021. I can unreservedly give The Mountain Company the highest recommendation.

"The best trekking crew"

The best trekking crew. I have been on 4 treks in Nepal in recent years. The Mountain Company did the best job of ensuring client health. I was impressed with the guides monitoring of our daily oxygen levels and attention to our needs at high altitude. It was a great experience. I'm looking forward to trekking with this company again when the world opens up.
