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.
