Annapurna Circuit
Thank you for organising such a fantastic trip at such short notice.
Nabin and Durga looked after my sister and I really well. I was unfortunately unwell for a few days but they altered the pace so that i could complete the full circuit.
We chose to do this adventure at the end of Sept which meant we got glimpses of the scenery during the day and amazing views at sunset. However, it meant the circuit was not as busy and we often walked for hours without seeing anyone else.
I would definitely recommend Mountain Mart as a very professional and friendly company.
Thanks again - Bethany

Epic Everest Basecamp Trek with Helicopter Return - 10 days
This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience if you have 2 weeks to spare. It's 7-8 days of trekking (depending on how many acclimatization days you need) plus a travel day on each side to fly in and out of Lukla from Kathmandu. (flights are often canceled due to bad weather.) You hike 7K-13K (very reasonable) and gain 400-800 meters per day (less at the end as you are already so high)
Three things make this an Epic adventure:
1) Check out the pictures - You get a diverse range of views from waterfalls to forests to frozen tundra with lots of cool animals around you, and finally - breathtaking views of Mt. Everest.
2) You have a supportive team around you with Mountain Mart
3) You walk through a dozen or so active sherpa villages, which are fascinating because they are functioning communities completely void of automobiles and all built by hand (with beautiful stone patios and walls), serving delicious Nepalese food and drink
Mountain Mart with Dolakh coordinating from Kathmandu and Prem as our guide on the trail (along with an assistant guide and a porter) offered an incredible start to finish journey that made our trip better than many of the other groups we saw along the way. All you have to do is find flights in and out of Kathmandu and Mountain Mart handles the rest at an unbeatable price. They even let you use their high-quality sleeping bags and duffel bags on the trail. They are kind, thoughtful, team players who are incredibly knowledgeable (all of them started as porters on the trail) and coordinate EVERYTHING. They take care of the hotel in Kathmandu, the flights to and from Lukla, all your meals, your accommodations in the tea houses along the trail and bring a first aid kit to test your oxogen and pulse each night to make sure you are doing okay. We felt safe and learned so much along the way.
Mountain Mart keeps their groups small so you really get to know the people you are with and can keep to your chosen pace without having to wait for a ton of folks to catch up or slow down (depending which side of the spectrum you are on). Prem gives you the locals experience. He knows everyone along the way and teaches you about culture, mountains, food, trekking and anything else you are curious about.
Finally, you have the choice (before you book) of either taking a helicopter back to Lukla(15 mins) or trek back down the mountains the way you came. (2 days) Since you already see everything going up, we recommend taking the helicopter back down. It's an incredible view and helps keep the trip under two weeks if you have to get back to the states like us.
Weather
We went mid September to early October and it got up to about 70F during the day and as cold as about 27F at night. We only had rain/snow one day during our hike and the Mountain Mart team was prepared with tarps to protect our belongings.
A word of warning, this trip is not for everyone. You need to be:
-In Shape: to handle the trekking each day (You can technically do it if you are out of shape, but you'll have a lot more fun if you've built up your heart with cardio beforehand)
-Vegetarian: meat in the mountain isn't safe because the locals bring it up without refrigeration
-Okay With Being Cold: there is no heat in your rooms and it gets cold quickly from about 4pm - 7am so you'll be wearing an obnoxious amount of layers in your sleeping bag
-Tough enough to deal with: no showers, spotty to no internet, headaches from high altitude and very smelly bathroom areas.
-Patient enough to deal with multiple canceled flights, which might delay your trek.
If you can handle that, then the trekking, locals, views, animals and thoughtful team at Mountain Mart with make for one of the best experiences of your life.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return
Just completed a 9 day Everest Base Camp trek with our amazing guide Kumar from Mountain Mart. The trek allowed us to not only visit Everest and the Khumbu valley, but also many amazing villages, rivers, and waterfalls along the way. Kumar ensured our group was well prepared for each day of trekking, and monitored our progress along the way as we acclimatized to the high elevation. The weather was excellent allowing for breathtaking views from both Base Camp, and Kala Patthar. We elected to charter a helicopter return from Gorakshep which Kumar and Mountain Mart arranged for us.
If you are looking for a hassle free trip to experience the highest mountain in the world, Kumar and Mountain Mart are your best bet!

Amazing Annapurna Trek to Poon Hill with Mountain Mart!!
Review of: Annapurna Panorama trek
We have just completed a 4 day trek in the glorious Annapurna region with Mountain Mart. They put together a wonderful package, picking us up from our hotel in Pokhara, the driving us to the start of our trek.
Day 1 trekking is straight up for several hours with a break for lunch.
Day 2 more up and overnight at Ghorepani.
Day 3 early rise for our pre dawn trek up to Poon Hill with AMAZING sunrise of the Himalayas - two 8,000m + mountains!!!
Day 4 quieter day leading to the end of our trek in Tadapani.
Our guide Nabin and porters Dilip & Wudra were awesome, pacing the trek to our needs. Food was great and accommodation surprisingly high standard.
Everything ran like clockwork - would highly recommend Mountain Mart and this glorious trek

After recently completing the Annapurna circuit trek with Mountain Mart Treks I couldn’t be happier with the level of service they provided. From day one they were very quick to respond to all questions and able to suit all my needs without any hesitation. Special mention to our guide Raju who continually went above and beyond his role to provide us the best of everything that was on offer and his knowledge about the the Annapurna circuit was incredible. Also our porter Ram who would continually do his best to make sure we were as comfortable as could be, during and even after his porter duties were finished for the day. Any one thinking of visiting Nepal for either trekking or sightseeing I highly recommend Mountain Mart Treks, you will not be disappointe

The company is fantastic, we communicated with Dolakh via email and he answered all our questions promptly and professionally beforehand. Prem was our trekking guide while we were there and he was AMAZING! We had so much fun with him; he’s funny, knowledgeable and personable. Our porter was also amazing! Would definitely recommend this company for anyone looking in the Everest region!

Amazing trip and very nice experience with mountain Mart. From the beginning till the last moment everything has been great. Dolakh, the manager, very responsive and had solutions for every problem. We were also very happy with our guide, Ram, who took into account every single aspect of our trek. We have been very positively impressed by his ability to make of our days an everlasting experience. He told us: I know it is a lifetime trip for you. We are really grateful for having Ram as a guide and how we took care of our and made us feel comfortable (great food, cozy accommodation, change in trekking program to make the best... And we saw the Everest!!!).
Thanks mountain Mart, looking forward to coming back to Nepal!

Just come back from completing the 12 day Everest Base Camp trek with Makar from Mountian Mart, it was amazing! The whole trip from start to finish was great, Makar took care of absolutely everything and was a great support and guide. I couldn’t recommend Makar enough - he was brilliant and went above and beyond! If your planning on doing any trek through Nepal, I’d recommend requesting Makar! The trek itself was harder than I though, however, very doable at a slow pace. Advice to anyone planning a trek, make sure you take good quality high wicking socks and clothes - they make all the difference after wearing them for 3+ days!

From start to finish this trek has been AHHH-MAZING! I chose Mountain Mart because of the reviews on Trip Advisor and after several hours of research on each company I was considering. I was looking for a heli-trek that had at least 2 acclimatization days, was short, and fit into my schedule. I emailed several companies and Dolakh responded quickly! I began to really trust Dolakh through our email conversations and wanted trek with Mountain Mart!
I ended up not doing the heli-trek because I was trying to get on a trek with other participants. The trek that fit in best with my schedule ended up not having anyone else registered for the trip, but Dolakh assured me I would be fine on my own.
I met Nabin, my guide, the day before we set off for the trek. He kindly looked through the gear I was planning to take and offered advice. Nabin has about 7 years of trekking and instantly made me feel at ease. It never occurred to me that Nabin would be everything from my porter, my Nepali trekking medical expert, my server, and my guide. He did it all! With a smile and a cheery disposition. Each evening Nabin thoroughly would explain the schedule for the next day with me. He would give me advice on how to dress properly for the upcoming weather and terrain. He ALWAYS made sure I understood the details and was patient with any questions I had. Nabin is funny and entertaining, but takes his responsibility as the trip guide very seriously. I literally trusted him with my life! Nabin is an amazing professional and I enjoyed my 12 days following him IMMENSELY! What a joy it was to share this experience with my friend and guide Nabin!!!

This trek was so incredibly beautiful! It was definitely challenging but so rewarding. Our guide Tilak was so good! He took such good care of us and made sure our entire trek was stress free. He let us set our own pace and he gave us helpful suggestions when needed. This really allowed us to just enjoy the entire trek. And Tilak was so knowledgeable about the entire area and we learned so much from him. I would definitely recommend using Mountain Mart for anyone wanting a stress free trekking expedition through the Himalayas. I know I will for any of my future treks.

This trek was an incredible experience and definitely a fun challenge. Sagarmatha National Park is an absolutely beautiful place with an endless number of mountains to see.
Mountain Mart set us up with everything we needed. Our guide Tilak was an exceptional guide that took the time to teach us the various peaks through out the trek. His expertise of the area made our trek stress free from start to finish. During our trip, our entire group all got hit with AMS and Tilak did a great job helping us acclimatize and set a comfortable pace. He and the porters were always happy to help in whatever capacity and were readily available, and we definitely appreciated Tilak’s humor through out the trip. I would do a trek with Tilak again in a heart beat!
Mountain Mart provided an accurate list of things to bring which made packing easier. I picked up a few things in Thamel and Namche once we were into the trek. I would definitely recommend bringing some cards (and a book or two) for the down time in the tea houses. Mountain Mart provided Diamox for the altitude sickness (which hit me in Namche) but if you would like to control your own dosage I would recommend getting a prescription before the trip.
I definitely recommend Mountain Mart and would go with them again for any future treks!

This was one of the more challenging but rewarding trips I’ve done!!! So glad to have checked Mt. Everest base camp off my bucket list! Quite an accomplishment! Nepal and the culture was unlike any I’ve experienced... and I’ve traveled the world. Absolutely breathtaking!
Mountain Mart trekking was super helpful in the endeavor, not only were they quick to respond at all hours of the day, but our guide Makar felt like family by the end of the trip!! He took care of us every step of the way, from explaining the culture, sharing the area he grew up in and local traditions, to getting us a Helicopter at my recommendation when the airport was delayed a day, so that we weren’t!! He went above and beyond when he found and surprised us with a birthday cake for my brother in the middle of nowhere.... top of the mountain almost to basecamp! Still don’t know how he did it but most definitely made my brothers day!
And the smile it put on my face is 10 miles wide. What a great adventure! I highly recommend using Mountain Mart Trekking! And be sure to ask for Makar!!

Just completed the 14 day Everest basecamp trek! It was a breath taking experience :)
Communication with dolakh was easy and he answered all our questions when we were planning our trip. He was able to accommodate our travel dates even though they weren’t listed on the website.
The 14 day EBC package included 12 day EBC trek and 2 nights in hotel jampa in Kathmandu.
Our guide Lochan was excellent. He is so funny and I was glad to have him as a guide. He is very knowledgeable about the mountains and altitude sickness. He checked out vitals/assessed our wellbeing every night. He speaks English very well also.
Dawa our porter was also very friendly and it was a pleasure having him as part of our group. He accompanied us on our acclimatizing days as well as some other days and it was nice to talk with him too, he’s such a strong hiker. He makes a delicious fresh apple pie ::yum::
In the end my friend and I both made it to EBC successfully and I would say I was very satisfied with the services provided by mountain mart (dolakh, lochan, and dawa).
It is not an easy trek by any means, but reaching the goal was so sweet. I also made it to kala Patthar summit, I highly recommend the extra effort to do that hike because the view is absolutely stunning.
There were a few easy days, but it was pretty physically tough and also mentally tough with the colder temperatures. Over all though it was an amazing adventure and I’d recommended it to anyone who really wants to take on the challenge.

I had the pleasure of taking the 12 day trek to Everest Base Camp, and I'm so grateful we were with Tilak and the Mountain Mart team. For not being a very experienced outdoorsman, this trip sure made me feel safe, challenged, and also like an absolute rockstar, and that is due to our amazing guide, Tilak. He was incredible knowledgeable, very fun, and directed us every step of the way. He allowed us to go at our pace (which was rather quick), and taught us so much about the surrounding area. Every night we were setup with great lodging, food, and items we needed to be successful.
I've already told a number of my friends about this trip and Mountain Mart, so if you are looking to go to Base Camp, look no further than Tilak and Mountain Mart!

I would highly recommend this company to friends and family, they really knew how to take care of their guests!

Overall I am very impressed with MMT. The CEO Dolakh was very helpful prior to the trip and once I arrived in Kathmandu everything was taken care of. I was met at the airport, taken to my hotel and taken on an informative city tour. On the trek itself I can't even begin to explain how wonderful my guide Bhoj was. He also took care of everything. He was extremely kind, very very patient, helpful when I was feeling ill, knowledgeable about the area and terrain and was always enthusiastic and cheerful. On the last day of the trek I felt like giving up but he kept my spirits up and even carried my backpack for me. Our porter Chandra was also a hero, carrying all that luggage, always with a smile on his face. I would definately trek with Bhoj at MMT again.

Everest Base Camp - 12 days trek
My girlfriend and I had the Everest Base Camp (EBC) - 12 days trek on our bucket list for awhile and had a difficult time deciding which company to use. We emailed a handful of trekking companies and Mountain Mart were the first to respond. They answered all our questions in a timely manner.
A day before our trek, we had a debrief at the office in Kathmandu. They explained the itinerary, broken day by day - offered any gear we might’ve needed and did not bring (e.g. trekking poles and sleeping bags). They provided duffel bags to be carried by the porters throughout the trek. The duffel bag should include clothes needed for duration of the trek. Thus, your trekking backpack (about 42L) is not needed. However, your day bag (about 20L) is highly recommended. The day bag should hold your essentials during the day such as camera, medicine, water bottles, etc. We also met our awesome trek guide, Nabin.
Throughout our trek, Nabin was super attentive and accommodating. He consistently checked up on us to make sure we didn’t develop acute mountain sickness (AMS). He also provided complementary fruits everyday after dinner. Nabin didn’t rush us and made sure we’re walking at a comfortable pace. Every night after dinner, he would check our heart rate and oxygen level to make sure we weren’t getting sick. If you are fortunate enough to have Nabin as your trek guide, ask him about his life story and his perspective on the Nepali culture.
I highly recommend Mountain Mart and Nabin for your EBC trek. We plan to do the Gokyo trek in the near future and will definitely use this company again.
P.S. we booked our trip online in our home country, USA. We paid 20% deposit online and the remaining balance in person.

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!

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.

I didn't know what to expect from Mountain Mart Treks, as I booked at the last moment, but I was more than pleasantly surprised from their service from the moment I stepped out of the airport, to the moment I boarded my plane. I was met by my guide at the airport, with whom I was to spend the next two weeks trekking. The Kathmandu accommodation was very decent, central, and real 3-stars. What I didn't realize that over the next two weeks, I didn't simply receive a mountain guide (Ram Bhandari), but something like a personal assistant, competent advisor, and a friend, all in one. In comparison to other guides that I saw on the trek, Ram was much more energetic, willing to do 'acclimatization' treks, which proved to be key for acclimatization process; always be on time, whenever he is needed; even cooked for me a couple of times, when the lodge's cooks were not available. As in any company, the best asset are it's employees, so in Mountain Mart's case, I can say that people like Ram, really make for a great company. The company's owner was personally and actively involved in ensuring the quality and the best service to be provided, actively seeking feedback. One thing that is good to keep in mind on these treks is that the lodges and hotels up there function a bit like low-cost

I just completed one of my dreams of going to Everest Base Camp. I was very pleased to go with Mountain Mart trek. The owner, Dolakh was able to answer the many questions we had before our trip via email. He was very accommodating to my specific schedule.
When we arrived in Nepal from the US, and completed immigration and collected our baggage, we were greeted by our guide Lochan. From that moment on, he truly was our “guide” before, during and after the trek. He always made sure all our concerns and needs were addressed throughout the trek.
The company also provided us with a porters. We had the pleasure of having Dawa as our Porter. He carried our duffel bags all the way up and down the trek and all the stops in between. And when he is not helping carrying our bags, he would join us during some of our hikes to assist us during the hike. He also was great to have around to take the “perfect picture”. And at night he would join us at the dinning room to help service us. He also took the time to make us an apple pie dessert.
I was very happy having Lochan and Dawa as our guide and porter. By the end of the trek, they were like my new brothers who helped me achieve my dreams.
I would highly recommend Mountain Mart Treks if you plan an doing the Everest Base Camp.

Myself and my girlfriend did the 10-day Gokyo lakes trek in November 2019. We had an amazing time and were very impressed by Mountain Mart. There was excellent communication from Dolakh before the trip, explaining the details of the itenerary, what kit we would need etc and answering all our questions. The trip itself was fantastic and very well organised. Mountain mart took care of everything and arranged pick up from the airport to our hotel, had a guide accompany us on the flight to Lukla (which can be a bit confusing otherwise), and we were met by the guide and porters on arrival at Lukla.
Our guide on the trip, Makar, was fantastic and spoke excellent english and was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip.
We would highly recommend Mountain Mart for trekking in Nepal, and we would certainly use them again for our next trip there.
