The Gokyo Chola Pass Trek from EBC was the adventure of a lifetime. I had already trekked with Mountain Rock Treks on the Annapurna Circuit, so trekking with them again was not even a question for me. This trek is challenging, especially crossing over the icy paths to Chola Pass but, but worth every step. The beautiful Gokyo Lakes and the view from Gokyo, RI, were absolutely amazing. The guide knew everything about the area and how to acclimatize us as best as possible to not get altitude sick. Having porters made all the difference, too. Mountain Rock Treks yet again put together a great experience for us. Can't wait to plan my next trek with them.
We had to turn around from the summit due to the weather. Weather is unpredictable in the mountains and something that I will need to learn to accept, especially as a newer hiker.
Mountain Rock Treks' team acted professionally in providing updates and plan modifications to ensure we all got to the summit while also keeping safety in mind and extending our trip.
The change they facilitated through flexibility and communication compared to normal touristic practice was to transfer an anxious time towards a safe outdoor experience.
Their trip organisation was superb, from all of the perfect transfers to a great schedule with thoughtfully placed rest days. Our lead guides were not only strong climbers but also really fun and encouraging company in the hardest moments. The acclimatisation was perfectly gradual, and I never felt too exhausted or too out of breath along the way. The summit day is super difficult but amazing, and the view from the top is outstanding.
As a vegetarian, I was quite apprehensive about how direct food would be an issue for me in Tibet. However, Mountain Rock Treks assisted me with many of the flavourful vegetarian meals to order at every stop. I had a friendly and helpful driver and guide, who also ensured that I received everything that was relative to food and dietary requests - which went on quite well to an enjoyable experience.
I knew from the time that we picked this adventure that we had picked the right travel operator based on a study of the itineraries. I found Mountain Rock Treks from a travel blog I read.
They took care of all of the difficult permits and arranged everything so we hardly felt like we were adventuring in Tibet. Our Lhasa guide, Tenzin, had great knowledge of all of the places we visited.
I found this company from all the great reviews on Trip Advisor, and they did not disappoint. From start to finish, the team was extremely professional and kind. The price of the package was very reasonable without any hidden costs, making it extremely worth what you were getting. My guide was fantastic! He was full of knowledge about the peaks as well as ensuring my comfort throughout the trip. All staff involved were also able to help us with our airport pickups as well as flight arrangements when required. Overall, not only was this trek such a beautiful view after views of Everest, Cho You, etc, but it is also such a wonderful company to get support from while you are in Nepal.
Luxury Everest view trek with Mountain Rock Treks was a memorable trip of a lifetime. From the beginning, everything was organised perfectly by the team and it went very smoothly. Our guide Pasang was amazing and looked after us so well while giving us an insight into the region also. The trek itself is not too difficult but enough to be able to see the beauty of Everest without rushing around. The Hotel Everest View is out of this world, I have never seen views like it and the hotel is beautiful with everything you could need. Every part from the flights to Nepal, helicopter ride, half day tour around Kathmandu and wise words of Pasang were all included in this luxurious package.
The tour in Pokhara was never to be forgotten with Mountain Rock Treks. It all began with sunrise from Sarangkot-the breathtaking view of the Annapurna range. The team was very professional, ensuring we enjoyed every moment of the tour. Not to mention boating on Phewa Lake and visiting the World Peace Pagoda, the accommodations arrangements were comfortable, and the food was delicious. It went smoothly and hassle-free due to Mountain Rock Treks. We will surely return one day and see more of Nepal with them.
