Reviews About Trip

My Boyfriend and I Landed in Nepal on 23rd September 2023. We wanted to book the Everest helicopter tour with a landing at Kala Patthar. As we were going to book it with one travel agency in Nepal, we found out that the Everest helicopter tour with landing at Kala Patthar does not operate as of 2023 because of the new restrictions by CAAN.

This tour company had no alternatives to the Everest helicopter tour, so we did our research and found that this company, Mountain Rock Treks, recently introduced an alternative to the Everest helicopter tour and landing at Kala Patthar, i.e., helicopter tour and landing at Hotel Everest view. We thought about this and booked our Journey with MRT on 25th September. We did have a doubt at first, but this tour was indeed a good experience, as they explained. On this excursion, we landed at Hotel Everest View and had a delicious breakfast among the Himalayas and in front of Mt Everest itself. This tour was indeed a unique experience and all thanks to Mountain Rock Treks for their unwavering support from the start of your journey. 

Starting this short luxury journey to Everest in winter was like a dream. Faced with difficult conditions in the beginning for planning the Everest View trek, Deepak rightly redirected me. The luxury accommodations offered unmatched warmth and ensured a comfortable hideaway during winter’s frost. Top of the list was the perfectly coordinated helicopter transfers – a real innovation during winter months. Efficient logistics and thoughtful planning allowed me to enjoy stunning views without sacrificing comfort. Kudos to the team for their adaptability and professional advice, as they transformed what could be a logistical nightmare into an ultimate winter adventure in the Everest region.

As a solo trekker, Mountain Rock arranged for a shared jeep with 4 other trekkers (there was room for one more). The jeep was suitable for everyone all at once, and we all were very excited as we all were stepping into adventure and bonded immediately - we're still trek partners! The drivers especially did a great job of getting us on time for meal breaks at all the local dhabas with fresh steaming dal bhat. The trip on the road was excellent, so I could acclimatize slowly, and I was feeling much stronger and in a better place to start the trek from Surkhe than many of my friends who flew to Lukla. I had fun with my hired porters and guides, as expected. This is the best alternative offered to the Lukla flight. 

The 15-day Manaslu Circuit Trek with Mountain Rock Treks was an unforgettable journey. Every step of the trek was well worth it, offering the right combination of challenge and reward. Mountain Rock Treks organised and prepared everything meticulously to make the journey successful. As for the trek, it was marvellous: the team succeeded in both providing safety and enjoyment. The panoramic views and cultural exposure on this hike offered a well-rounded experience. Bravo to Mountain Rock Treks for designing a unique journey in the core of Nepal’s glorious Manaslu region. 

I have just completed the Ama Dablam Base Camp trek with Mountain Rock Treks, and it was everything I had dreamed of. Plus, I made it to Everest Base Camp and to the top of Kala Patthar, too, which I found to be a massive personal achievement. The guides were not only professional but were also fantastic at keeping us safe, motivated and acclimatized. The view of Ama Dablam from the base camp was breathtaking, and seeing the sun rise over Everest on Kala Patthar was an experience that will stay with me forever. All of the logistics were perfectly managed, and even when things got tough, the team ensured we were as comfortable as possible. If you want an unforgettable adventure with brilliant support and organization then Mountain Rock Treks is definitely for you.

The 4-day hike with Mountain Rock Treks was great but squeezed in such a short time because we had only limited holidays. From Chisapani, it provided breathtaking views of Shivapuri National Park as one ascended from the Sundarijal gateway. The second day took us through varied terrains and jungles, and we stopped overnight at a stunning location called Nagarkot. It was simply a spectacular panorama of the eastern Himalayas.

With our guide, Pasang, we had a good companion. In fact, he was very helpful because he offered useful tips and helped us during the entire trek. Besides, our porter, Dawa, helped make our journey smooth. We appreciate the team from Mountain Rock Treks for creating a memorable hiking experience within our constraints. The beauty of those surroundings, professional support staff, and well-designed logistics turned this short trek into an epic escapade. 

Starting the Manaslu Circuit Trek under the Mountain Rock Treks was just great. For an experienced trekker with previous Nepal adventures, this 15-day journey was exceptional. Starting from Soti Khola, this trek was a trip of wonders regarding adventure and scenery. With a favourable climate, multi-layered landscapes, and traditional villages made all of it unique. Mountain Rock Treks provided perfect organisation and profoundly knowledgeable guides, further enriching my trip. A must for nature lovers who wish to have a true Himalayan experience, this trail.

The Manaslu Circuit trek with Mountain Rock Treks that we took for 15 days was an adventure of a lifetime. We were three friends from California and undertook this challenge during the off-peak period, which was a great move. The valleys of the Budhi Gandaki were beautiful, with clear blue skies during the daytime. Our hikes, on the other hand, nights were cold. The sky was endlessly blue, and the weather stayed perfect throughout. Well done, Mountain Rock Treks, for coordinating a smoothly operating and astonishing trek in the interior parts of Nepal.
