Excellent trek to Poon Hill with Yukumar


My fiancé and I did a brilliant 4 day trek (1 day for travel) to the top of Poon Hill. Whilst we weren’t lucky enough to have blue skies on the trek for the best view, it was an incredible experience. Just ensure you visit in Feb/March or mid Oct - early Dec if you want to increase your odds of getting the best views!

We had a brilliant porter and a 10/10 guide in Yukumar. Always looking to be as helpful as possible and going the extra mile on many occasions.

The company is now based in the Everest Boutique hotel - we stayed here in our first night. I’d highly recommend spending the rest of your time in Kathmandu here. So friendly, lovely rooms and an amazing view fro the roof over dinner (their fried MoMos are amazing!).

Amazing 5 day Poon Hill Trek


My partner and I did the 5 day Poon Hill trek. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Nepal before and the second trip with Mountain Mart did not disappoint. We were there in September, so still a little rainy, but the views we’re still incredible. So much vibrant greenery throughout the forests and the most beautiful waterfalls too. We saw a small peak of the mountains at the top of Poon Hill too.

Our guide was Yukumar, who was so helpful and supportive during our time away. The whole trip was so well planned - if we needed a pick-me-up or any breaks to soak in the views, then Yukumar made sure we were able to. It felt really bespoke and we were very well looked after.

We’ll be back to Nepal for sure and wouldn’t hesitate to book another trek with Mountain Mart & Yukumar.

Thank you!!

Trip of a lifetime
Review of: Annapurna Base Camp Trekking 
I had the trek of a lifetime. Incredible scenery, great walking, and met a lot of friendly people.

My guide Prem was superb and went above and beyond. To give an example, my iPhone broke and became permanently locked out at 2,900M altitude.

Prem helped me fix it - first by speaking with local people to borrow a laptop and when that failed diverting my solo trip back to Pokhara to get the phone fixed and then brought us back on track so we still could stick to our planned trek.

Prem was helpful, friendly, a good laugh - but also knew when to be quiet and for us to just walk in peace.

Thank you to Prem and to Mountain Mart for the trip of a lifetime

Review of: Langtang Trekking - 12 days


I got to know about Mountain Mart while staying at the hotel run by the same owner (Everest Boutique Hotel, which was also an excellent experience!).
Mr Dolakh, the owner, is super friendly and was extremely helpful during my three weeks in Nepal. I ended up staying at his hotel every time I was in Kathmandu and did two major treks with Mountain Mart over two weeks! He even provided very valueable suggestions to optimize my itinerary!
We first did the Chisapani-Nagarkot-Bhaktapur hike over 3 days and that experience was absolutely fantastic! That made me go for a longer trek with them again, this time to Langtang Valley!

I had Sudip as the guide for both the treks, and I can't recommend him enough! He is experienced and knew the localities and the people of the places very well! He is super courteous and provided top-rated hospitality and services over the course of the two weeks we trekked together! He is also very friendly and cheerful, and we had great conversations and banters together! He planned the trips very well, and always kept my preferences in mind! Would throughly recommend him!

Overall, couple of great experiences with Mountain Mart, and I hope to do more again with them soon!

Great trekking around Annapurna circuit with Bhoj
We organized the trekking with Mountain Mart very last minute, but this was not a problem. We did a 10 day trekking around the Annapurna circuit and Tilicho lake with our guide Bhoj. Bhoj was very helpful and flexible. He gave us better insight in the local culture and ways, helped us out were needed and it was no problem to make a change of plans during the trip. Moreover Bhoj was very friendly and funny, we had great conversations and a lot of fun playing cards at the teahouses. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend Mountain Mart!

Annapurna circuit and Tilicho lake trekking trip
Let’s start with that we had an absolute blast of a time in the Himalayas with our guide Bhoj! We did the Annapurna circuit and added little de-tour to the Tilicho lake. At first we wanted to go on our own, however with our guide we learned a lot about the culture and could connect with the local ways. Also we would have missed quite some little details if we would have gone without our guide. Bhoj was very helpful, funny and great to have around. If we return to the Himalayas we would definitely contact our new friend at mountain Mart to arrange a new adventure!

Mardi Himal 10 days Trekking
This is one of the top if not the best trekking organiser in Nepal. The Manager/owner, Dolakh Thapa, is a very nice person, very accomodative and flexible in changing the trip plan at the last minute - i mean even when the trip has begun. Seven of us took the MardiHimal trekking for 10 days and we got 4 porters and 2 very experience guides. Ask for Prem Thapa and Ram Bhandari as guides. They speak fluent English and very knowledgeable about the mountain and take care of all our needs during the trip including ordering foods, assure water is available at the toilet, etc. Post trekking, they still accompanied us to do sight seeing in Kathmandu without charge. They voluntary do this as we developed friendship during the trek. Our porters also very nice and help us alot if we found difficulties hiking in narrow snowing path. They always smiles in their typical nepaleese face even though carrying our heavy loads (at least 30kg or more per person). We are very satisfied and will come back again next year to do Everest Base Camp trek with this trekking organiser, Mountain Mart Treks Expeditions. Thank you Dolakh, Prem, Ram, and our porters Bishal, Sudip, Sujan and Prakash. You have made our trip very memorable.

10 days Mardi Himal Trek : my first and unforgettable adventure to Himalaya
When I decided to do this adventure, there are a lot of doubts coming to my mind : Will I able to do it? Is it safe ? Is it okay for an amateur trekker like myself ? What if ..? But I finally did it, I and my group (7 of us) were high school mates who are not young anymore. Dolakh, the owner of Mountain Mart was so friendly, cooperative, and professional. He was so accommodative to our enquiries.. even up to the last minutes changes. The team, consists of 2 guides : Prem and Ram Bandhari who were very good and helpful, plus 4 porters : Bishal, Sudip, Prakash and Sujan who were very friendly, smiling all the time and amazingly strong. We became close friends since day 1 since they were so proactive, communicative and handled everything thoroughly and professionally. I would like to express my highest appreciation to Ram who became my personal guide, who always accompanied me along the way to the upper view and could enjoy my musics together. He was so caring, kind, patient, attentive, respectful and showing leadership, he made my challenging trek much easier, manageable and could be my personal photographer as well. I do recommend Mountain Mart to be your organizer for you adventure in Nepal. We definitely will go back for ABC or EBC trek someday soon, and hope we could have the same team again. See you again soon HImalaya..See you again Mountain Mart team coz we'll be back !

Langtang Trekking - 12 days
We were recommended Mountain Marts by one of our friends and we’re so glad that we were. From the initial point of contact, Dolakh was brilliant in responding to us quickly by email to answer our questions about different trekking itineraries and the cost of them. We were originally going to do the 7 day Langtang trek but after meeting with Dolakh in the Mountain Mart offices in Kathmandu we decided to extend the trek and do the 14 day Langtang - Gosaikunda trek, and boy we were pleased we did!

Our guide Makar and porter Durga were both excellent. Makar was a fantastic trekking guide and was clearly the most experienced guide on the trek (other guides asked him for advice frequently along the way!). He was extremely knowledgeable about trekking in Nepal and never needed to look at a map once. He was great to talk to on the trek and always kept us motivated too. Durga was also a fantastic, never faltering, porter and was an absolute legend for carrying our bags on the trek. They were both very accommodating to us and saw to our every need without being over the top. We all had a good laugh every evening after dinner and played a range of card games – our favourite was Dumball that Makar taught us.

The trek itself was awesome. The itinerary was great as it gave us a nice mix of some longer and some shorter days trekking so we could rest and re-charge when we needed to. We had to try not be too smug when meeting independent trekkers who would try to do too much in a day or miss a lunch spot etc. The scenery was spectacular and we enjoyed seeing the different views in Langtang and in Gosaikunda. The teahouses were also great to stay in (though sometimes they were very cold – bring a good down coat with you to keep warm!). We were often greeted by a friendly Nepalese family who cooked freshly prepared meals for everyone in the dining room which were warmly welcomed after a day’s trekking. We also enjoyed stopping at the teahouses for lunch and having what became our staple lunch fuel whilst on the trek, Dhal Bhat (Dhal Bhat Power, 24 Hour!).

Overall we had a brilliant time on the trek with Mountain Marts and we would highly recommend them to everyone. We would love to come back to Nepal sometime in the future and we would definitely use Mountain Marts again.

Luckily we managed to finish our trek and get back to Kathmandu before Covid-19 really kicked off but sadly we did have to change our plans and fly back to the UK 10 days early. We hope that Covid-19 passes as soon as possible and opens the world back up for tourism so people can travel again and see how wonderful Nepal is.

Thank you Dolakh, Makar and Durga!

Everest Base Camp Trek 12 days 

We did a 12 days EBC Trek on October 2021 in a private group of 3. It was a great experience! The trek was perfectly organized, the lodges were good and clean, according to our requests, meals always good and with several options, and we had an amazing team: our guide Bhoj did everything to make us feel at home, he was available 24/7 and took care of all our needs. The assistants, among which Milan, were also nice and super helpful. The team gave us great comfort in challenging times (especially at high altitude, when we were tired and the trek was more difficult). Needless to say, the trek itself was SUPERB! Amazing and varied landscapes, and the emotion to get to EBC was unbelievable!!!! We were impressed by these professionals and loved all local people we met during our stay in Solukhumbu region.
Thanks for making our experience unforgettable! ❤
We definitely recommend Mountain Mart to all people willing to make it to EBC and ti enjoy the Himalaya!

Mountain Mart Miracle on Mera Peak Climbing
This year we were able to make Pappaji’s, my 75 year old father-in-law’s, dream of climbing a big mountain in Nepal come true when we summited Mera Peak October 8, 2021.

Dolakh at Mountain Mart made it possible by arranging the best possible team for our ascent.

First, Lochan, our fantastic guide, joined us for our 3rd adventure on the mountain (EBC 3 high passes and Island Peak in the past). He’s an experienced guide that we know and trust more than anyone on the mountain. He’s led us through some tough times and always gotten us through with great decision making and follow through. He’s the best of the best. He’s an absolute joy to be in the mountains with, his enthusiasm is infectious.

Second, Dawa, whom had been our porter in the past, joined us as climbing support and Pappaji’s personal assistant. He took every step with Pappaji, from Lukla, to the top of Mera Peak, and all the way back to Lukla. He was patient and caring with Pappaji. He and our climbing guide Pemba came up with a harness to work with Pappaji on the mountain. Additionally they fashioned custom rain gear for him. This climb would not be possible without Dawa’s patient assistance of Pappaji. His commitment was unparalleled.

Thirdly, the support team. On the mountain Pemba, our climbing guide, made sure that safety was top priority. He took his time showing the us climbing and safety techniques. The camp cook was especially helpful his year too. He was always there when we needed an extra hand and helped with Pappaji whenever asked. Sonam, our porter is Dawa’s son, and like his father helped us out from start to finish.

It’s extraordinary to get a 75 year old to the top of Mera Peak and back down safely. The level of coordination of talent at Mountain Mart is extraordinary. Having a great team means getting the right people in the best positions. It all came together this year with Mountain Mart!

We’ve come to care a great deal for everyone that we know at Mountain Mart. We’re always happy to meet up with Dolakh, Lochan and Dawa, and sad to say goodbye. You can have a great time and get to know wonderful people in Nepal when you book with Mountain Mart.

Manaslu Circuit October 2021i
I've known Mountain Mart Owner Dolakh for more than three years. He runs an excellent company. In my opinion, Ram is one of their best guides. Ask for him on your next trek. He is very attentive, understands English very well, and and is very organized and prompt. Ram is absolutely the best guide you could ask for. I recently finished the Manaslu Trek (October 2021). I had an amazing experience! Pream is also an excellent guide. He is very experienced and very likeable. Stop your searching and go with Mountain Mart. You'll have no regrets. Dolkah's company takes care of everything, so you can just enjoy your time in Nepal.

Short Everest Base Camp Trek 

Me and my wife have completed a 12 day (we took the helicopter down/back from Gorak-Shep) trekking expedition to the Everest Base Camp with this company.
We are seasoned travelers, 3-5 international trips/year for 15 years.
The company did an AMAZING,OUTSTANDING job in maintaining communication, organizing and guiding this trip.
The owner, Mr Thapa Dolakh was extremely prompt in answering all questions prior to the trip.
The price is comparable to other trekking Nepalese companies BUT some of the “perks” included such as the provision of very large duffel bags and especially providing treated, decontaminated water throughout the ENTIRE trip 😳😳😳 are INVALUABLE in my opinion.

Mr Thapa, was willing (if we were in a pinch) to exchange a small dollar amount at a MUCH better rate then any other money exchange venue. He is an extremely alert, customer service oriented, accommodating and flexible individual that can and is willing to change/re-do an itinerary for the customer’s best interest !!
He made sure that we got our Covid test at a local hospital prior to departure and had a city tour with transportation to the airport at the conclusion of our trip.

Our porter, Dev, a very strong individual, was extremely nice, pleasant and ALWAYS willing to help us during some difficult/dangerous parts of the trek. He carried an extra duffel bag (we brought too much stuff with us).

Our guide, Tilak, a very, very very kind and seasoned professional was absolutely amazing !! Good organizer, explaining every aspect of the itinerary, ALWAYS, ALWAYS willing to help me during the difficult parts of the trek, carrying our water bottles, making sure that we had enough water and we drank enough and were taking our Diamox pills if needed.

Altogether, we were very impressed and grateful for the service we received from this company.

Manaslu Trek 18 days 

What a great trip. We embarked on a 16 day Manaslu Trek. Mountain Mart took care of every detail. From the time getting to Nepal to leaving to getting Covid tests, everything was taken care of. At a time where travel is difficult and there are lots of things to worry about, Mountain Mart made the whole process very easy. What a great and relaxing (but strenuous) vacation. I would not delay any travel due to Covid. Mountain Mart takes care of everything.

Now for Trek. It was epic. Our guides Ram & Prim were awesome. They were Always well prepared, made sure we stayed at the most convenient locations and kept us safe through some harrowing times with the unusual rainfall. Ram & Prim were very knowledgeable about the area. Knew local history, mountain ranges and did a great job locating wildlife (blue sheep, mountain goats, otters, monkeys) that made the trek that much more enjoyable. The porters, Om & Guitra worked very hard. Our bags were always nearby and they did a great job keeping them dry during all the rain (3 days straight). I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to go back and explore other regions. I would definitely ask for Ram & Prim to guide any future expeditions. If you’re exploring Nepal, do not go with any other company. Mountain Mart is the best by far.

Luxur Everest Base Camp with a superior guide.
I am a 61 year old woman. I'm relatively active but I was unsure if I had the endurance for the Everest Base Camp hike. My husband went 3 years ago and had a great enough experience with Mountain Mart that he wanted to use them again. We were also able to get the same guide, Makar Tamang. Makar has great English skills and is really knowledgeable about the region, the wildlife, vegetation and, of course, the mountains. He assured me I could do it. We kept a good pace meaning up with the other hikers, but slower than the porters. (They are amazing.) Makar took our oxygen levels each evening to be sure we were physically ok. Best of all, I made it! Makar has a fun personality as well as being caring. Our group was always laughing. We had great card games in the tea houses along the way. A great guide really helps on an expedition such as this.
We had another guide, Gorkha. He is cheerful and lots of fun too. They are very respectful and watch out for their cargo, (us). We had such an enjoyable time with our guides.
Dolakh is the owner of Mountain Mart. He was great at arranging transportation from the airport to our hotel and back and forth many times. He helped us jump through the Covid testing requirements. He knew about the hotels in the area and helped us choose a lovely spot. He helped arrange tours in Kathmandu.

Manaslu Trek 18 days 

This is my second trip with MountainMart and it was as spectacular as the first. My wife and I hiked the Manaslu trek in October 2021 and I had previously done the Everest Base Camp trek with MountainMart a few years previously. This group is outstanding. They take care of you from the moment you make contact to the moment you leave the country. No "I didn't know I would have to do/pay for that" surprises. Both times they were fantastic. I met Ram on my Everest trip and specifically asked for him on the Manaslu trip. He was fantastic both times. We also met Pream on this trip as the other guide (they always have at least one in the front of the group and one in the back to make sure no one wanders off). I would highly recommend both of these guides. Actually, Dolakh (the owner of Mountain Mart) makes sure that your experience is top notch throughout the process, from guides, to accommodations, to food recommendations, to vehicles, to gear. You're not going to find a better group to travel with. I know that was my biggest fear for my first trek...not knowing which group I could trust with all of the details. I read reviews and landed on MountainMart. I'm sure glad I did. I can recommend them without reservation!

Superb EBC Luxury Trek
Just finished up a fantastic EBC trek. Can't say enough about Mountain Mart and their guide service. Makar Tamang was our main guide and made our trek into a 5+ star trip! This was my second EBC trek. Comparing it to other treks and also seeing how guides from other outfits treated their customers as we trekked (many were very good), we can honestly say Makar is the best guide in the business. His English skills are superb. His knowledge of the mountains and culture is extraordinaire. He is always upbeat and positive. We had so much fun with him and our assistant guide Gorka Tamang, (who is also very funny and friendly.) Our porters, Buddha and Mila were also very courteous and nice. Except for the one torrential down pour during our acclimation day in Namche Bazaar, the weather was perfect! This is a very unique time to do EBC or the Annapurna circuit. This is normally the peak of the busy season, but with COVID, the trails are quiet and beautiful. If you have a chance to trek this fall in Nepal, all I can say is DO IT!!!! Dolakh, the owner of Mountain Mart is SO good at putting together just the right custom trek to meet your needs. I would not hesitate in using them for all your Nepal trekking and expedition needs.

Luxury Everest Base Camp, the trip of a life time!
I made it to Everest Base Camp and loved the entire trip. Mountain Mart played a pivotal role in making this such a great adventure. The guides they found for us made all the difference in the world.
Our guide, Makar Tamang, is remarkable! I can tell he knew what makes a great adventure even better. He knew every mountain and its specifications, he knew all the local culture and customs and explained them so clearly, he knew what to suggest and what to avoid, he completely understands customer service, his English was amazing, he knew all the right people to get the special orders or service, and he knew the little extras that made it special. Most impressive is who he is, Makar is kind, patient, humble, helpful, FUN, bright, eager, careful, encouraging, and consistent.
Gorka Tamang, our assistant guide was always out front keeping the perfect pace and making sure we were safe and enjoyed the journey. Both the guides and my son had a blast together laughing, singing, sharing and playing around.
There is no way to perfectly describe the views you will see on this journey from the lush green and magical waterfalls of the lower section to the powerful majestic views of the mountains and vistas of the upper section.
This trip will change your life and this country and its people will steal a piece of your soul.
Thank you Dolakh for organizing such a wonderful adventure!

Great reputable trekking company
We went on the Poon Hill Sunrise Trek (4 days) with Mountain Mart. We were taken on a magnificent tour of the mountains surrounding Pokhara by our guide Ram and our porter Rupesh.

The trek was well planned, we had great (local!) food on the way, and we slept in beautiful little villages in the mountains. Our guide Ram was incredible and made sure we had everything we wished for, even if sometimes a bit out of the ordinary.

Our next tour in Nepal will def be with Ram, Rupesh and Doklah.

Thanks guys!

We did the 4 day Poon Hill Sunrise trek with Ram and Rupesh as guide and porter. It was an amazing experience, walking through the mountain forrests and passing all the small villages that are mostly inaccessible by car. On the third and fourth day, we rose early to see the sunrise over the Annapurna mountain range, crazy beautiful! Our guide, Ram, really did his best to ensure we had the best experience and showed us the beauty of life in the mountains. Accommodation and food were very good, I recommend sticking to the local meals to get the full experience!
Pro tip: bring a pack of cards to play during the evening, even the locals can join!

We hiked to Everest Base Camp and helicoptered back down. As a traveler who always seeks to be with the locals, getting to know our guides Makar and Gorka was possibly my favorite part. They were were humble, happy and knowledgable young men. Makar speaks fantastic english. I didn't do any of the planning, but I was told that moutain mart helped out loads with logistics. Highly recommend Moutain Mart and the Makar/Gorka duo.

My first ever trek completed. I would like to thank Mountain Mart Treks and Expedition, Dolakh, and of course my brilliant guide Ram Bhandari, who made my trek extra special. Me and Ram trekked to Ghorepani Poon Hill (the trek was 8 days in total) to see the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountain range at sunrise and it was truly breathtaking. A sight I will forever remember as well as the friendship forged
between me and Ram.

Ram went above and beyond his duties by providing me with fruit and chocolate daily, he constantly filled my water bottle to ensure I was drinking enough. He made sure we stayed at the best accommodations available and he even paid for my internet at every accommodation, which I might add served fantastic food. (Ram took my order and always asked if I wanted more)

Moreover, Ram taught me about Nepalese culture including the language which was very interesting. If anyone is thinking about visiting Nepal, then trekking is a must do. I can't recommend Mountain Mart enough, but be sure to request Ram Bhandari as your guide because he will make it extra special
A great guide, a great person and a great friend!

Thanks once again Mountain Mart, Dolakh and Ram Bhandari.

Gokyo Lake Cho La Pass Everest Base Camp Trek 
Already from the first contact I felt very comfortable with MMT.

Mr. Dolakh, owner of MMT, listened clearly to my requirements for the EBC & Gokyo trekking and went the extra mile to fulfil them. He and his team took care of everything. The service MMT provides is one of the best in Kathmandu. Also for selecting a guide he listened clearly. As I (single person) planned to do the EBC trek as from Bhandar, the total number of trekking days would be 21. So it is important that our characters match well. Also this was taken into account.

My guide, Bhoj Tamang, is a very experienced mountain guide. He comes from the Sherpa community, speaks good English, is very polite and knows perfectly how to interact with his clients. He is always present but not intrusive. He knows many people and get things always done in favor of his clients. He knows the best accommodations and lunch options and was always willing to listen to his clients. On a daily base he asked about my health, so he could take immediate action in case some signs of altitude sickness popped up. I felt very, very secure with Bhoj and was able to reach the Everest Base Camp and passes without any issue, mainly thanks to his support. If you book your trekking with him, ask for the “salami breakfast” (internal joke).

After the trekking I met mr. Dolakh in the new Everest Boutique (Heritage) hotel, his new project. A super nice hotel, build in the local Nepalese architecture (carved wooden windows, stone sculptures, indirect lightning, best panoramic view over Kathmandu) and located in a quiet side street in Thamel. The hotel opening is planned for September 2022.

Mr. Dolakh takes time to listen to the trekking experience of his clients. In this way he’s able to improve his service and become even more respected in the tourism business.

Summery: MMT is one of the top travelagents in Thamel. Price versus service and quality are difficult to beat. Staying in the Everest Boutique hotel will be a “heaven on earth”.

Ive been wanting to go to Nepal and do some hiking for a long time and was finally able to go recently, I went going on my own and being my first time to Nepal I wanted to go with a guide, I saw some great reviews about Mountain Mart and decided to contant them...

Dolakh was quick to respond to any question I have and gave me lots of options for treks an itinirarys that sounded really great, I finally decided to go with the 10 day Annapurna Base Camp + Poon Hill trek from Kathmandu, Dolakh helped recommend a start date for me around my planned holiday and even helped me change the date last minute when I had some last mnute issues with my passport (long story haha).

Kumar was my guide during the trek and he was realy knowledgable and had great communication with me and all the guest house owners on the trek, everyone knew him, Dolakh and Mountain Mart and gave us their best hospitality which made the trek really comfortable and fun.

Kumar was also happy to adjust the itinirary during the trek according to my wishes and we were able to make it to Base Camp a day early before the weather changed and we got great views of the Annapurna Sanctuary and earned oursels a day off to relax in the Jinhu hot springs on the way back :)

In summary these guys are very profesional and have been trekking for more than 20 years in Nepal, they know everyone and all the routes and are a great choice if you are looking to do your trek there with confidence, we are already discussin our next adventure with Mountain Mart next year in the Everest region, 10/10 would recommend ;-)
