Reviews About Trip

Our route was thoughtful, and we visited all the major pilgrimage sites without haste. Our B&B was a clean and cosy place to stay, which provided a restful haven after each day of trekking. Indeed, it was still the staff of the Mountain Rock Treks that had a much greater influence on the experience. They were also caring and attentive to us and our needs, and they were always ready to keep things safe and effectively answer all the questions asked. The vegetarian meals that suited my dietary requirements and the vans that were for the Hiace class provided a smooth ride to each destination.

We chose to go from Namche to Kathmandu by helicopter once we had completed our way to the Everest Base Camp. It was on Mountain Rock Treks that we could count for the smoothest experience. Not only did this save us two days by avoiding the Lukla flight drama, but it also allowed us extra time back in Kathmandu. During the flight, we were soaring high above the Himalayas, which offered us an opportunity to watch the fantastic landscapes of the Everest region. It’s just an awesome final touch for our trip.

I recently returned from the Luxury Annapurna Base Camp Trek with Mountain Rock Treks, and I can honestly say it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life.

From the moment I landed in Kathmandu, Dipak was there to greet me with warmth and professionalism. Every detail — from airport transfers and hotel stays to permits and daily logistics — was flawlessly organized. I felt completely at ease and well cared for, which allowed me to fully enjoy the beauty of the journey.

The trek itself was absolutely stunning. Every day brought something new — from lush rhododendron forests and traditional Gurung villages to sweeping mountain views and peaceful valleys. Standing at Annapurna Base Camp, surrounded by towering snow-capped peaks, was truly magical and emotional.

What really elevated this experience was the luxury component. The lodges we stayed in along the route were the best available — warm, clean, and comfortable, often with en-suite bathrooms and hot showers (a rare treat at this altitude!). The food was delicious and plentiful, and the hospitality from the lodge staff made every stop feel special.

Our guide was outstanding — knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the region. He made sure we were always safe, comfortable, and informed. The porters were also incredible — kind, strong, and always smiling, even after long days of carrying our bags through the hills.

This was not just a trek — it was a thoughtfully curated experience that combined natural beauty, cultural richness, and exceptional comfort. If you’re looking to experience the Himalayas without compromising on quality or care, I wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Rock Treks. They turned a dream adventure into something even more meaningful.

Thank you for making my time in Nepal so special. I’ll definitely be back — and with Mountain Rock again!

When I travel solo, I always worry about being the only person on group tours. Surprisingly, the UNESCO tour of Mountain Rock Treks was entirely different. We got a family-like atmosphere, as the group members were small (only 8 of us). Our guide, Dipak, was a gem. He was incredibly knowledgeable about each site. The itinerary was well planned, perfectly balancing cultural immersion and personal exploration. We visited all the iconic sites, from the majestic Swayambhunath Stupa to the serene Boudhanath Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest stupas in Nepal. 

My recent four-day Chisapani Nagarkot Dhulikhel Hike with Mountain Rock treks has surpassed my imagination. It was easy to reach out to them through Instagram, and the booking process went smoothly. Our Guide could speak impeccable English, making the communication and completing the reservation a walkover. They were very professional, as they quickly came and collected me at the hotel where I stayed.

The weather did not make the journey comfortable. However, the team ensured that my experience would run smoothly, and I was lucky to glimpse the breathtaking Annapurna mountain range. Dawa, my Guide, and Deepak, the company's owner, provided valuable information regarding his business, trekking experiences, and the mountains. 

It was also a great hike travelling through local villages, with children playing, adding more charm. I strongly advise booking Mountain Rock Treks for well-informed tours or trekking expeditions within Nepal; they never fall short of expectations.

I discovered Mountain Rock Treks after asking other trekkers about their hikes and decided to do a tour of the Patan Dubar Square area with one of these tours. I found the Guide very enthusiastic about the culture and heritage of Patan, and being part of a small group made the visit to the many sites much more personal. It might be hard to believe, but it would be nearly impossible to find a company with a person more honest and trustworthy to work with, with local knowledge so detailed and thorough. 

I had the most fantastic time on a tour of 7 UNESCO World Heritage sites arranged by Mountain Rock Treks, and the services were just exceptional. Transportation and guidance services were organised well and professional enough to ensure convenience and pleasure during the trip. Our tour guide, Ram, was very knowledgeable, and we found him helpful throughout the tour. Also, the transportation arrangements were comfortable and reliable, allowing us to get to each site on time. I strongly suggest Mountain Rock Treks for any cultural or historical excursion in Nepal.

Trekking the Manaslu Tsum Valley with Ganesh Himal Base Camp was one of the most incredible and soul-stirring adventures of my life — and I owe so much of that to the amazing team at Mountain Rock Treks.

From the very start, they were professional, organized, and extremely responsive. Planning a trek to such a remote and restricted area isn’t easy, but Mountain Rock Treks handled everything smoothly — permits, transportation, itinerary customization, and even helping us prepare with packing lists and advice.

The actual trek was beyond anything I expected. The Tsum Valley was peaceful, spiritual, and rich in Tibetan Buddhist culture. Visiting remote monasteries like Mu Gompa and staying in traditional villages gave us a rare insight into a way of life that has remained unchanged for centuries.

The Manaslu section added dramatic Himalayan landscapes, high-altitude passes, and ever-changing terrain. Crossing Larke La Pass was physically demanding but absolutely worth it — the views were breathtaking.

But what made this trek truly unique was the Ganesh Himal Base Camp extension. Very few trekkers include this part, so it felt like we had the mountains all to ourselves. The quiet, untouched beauty of the Ganesh Himal region left a lasting impression.

What stood out to me most about Mountain Rock Treks was their deep respect for local communities, their attention to sustainability, and their genuine passion for the Himalayas. You don’t feel like a tourist — you feel like part of something much bigger.

If you’re looking for a truly off-the-beaten-path Himalayan experience, this trek is perfect — and Mountain Rock Treks is the team to go with. I can’t recommend them enough.

 

Thank you for an unforgettable journey. I’ll definitely be trekking with you again!
