      The Manaslu Circuit Trek: highly recommend!!
      My friend and me did the Manaslu Circuit Trek, which was absolutely one of the best experiences of our lives. Starting at Maccha Khola, we initially walked through the valley, passing many small villages where we slept and had lunch. After a few days, the valley opened up and we were exposed to a beautiful scenery. The trek doesn’t require a high level of fitness. Although at some times a bit more challenging, it was easily manageable for my friend and me (both regular level of fitness). We were a bit worried about the altitude sickness, but our guide Narayan made us feel really safe. He arranged the itinerary in such a way we’d have plenty of acclimatization time, and in the end we didn’t experience any altitude problems. Narayan ensured a great balance between joking and being serious when things got more tough, but always caring and just an amazing guide. All in all, it was such a great experience, and I highly recommend this trek & Megamount!

      Amazing time at the Manaslu circuit trek
      Me and my friend did the Manaslu circuit trek with our guide Narayan from Megamount. We had an amazing experience. Our guide knew a lot about the area and told us many interesting things about the plants/mountains/people who live there. Next to that we had a lot of fun together and laughed a lot. When me or my friend was having a hard time Narayan always knew how to help us through! All in all a very good experience ander would certainly recommand trekking with megamount :)!

      Jack and Rinji’s Everest adventure
      One of the best experiences of my life ! Booked online in England and came to Nepal with no experience or education about the country . Was met by Pemba Sherpa at the airport in Kathmandu and looked after and organised to my flight to lukla . When I got to lukla I was met by the smiling face of rinji ! Who became my best friend over the next two weeks ! Rinji is a responsible , positive and caring guide . And wouldn’t want to do the trek with anyone else . He’s a fountain of knowledge about the mountain and always has a joke at hand . He looked after me all the way up sorting out good accomodation and great food . I got slight altitude sickness above 5000m , but rinji spotted strait away and gave me medical help . We got to base camp with ease , we were a great team and pushed each other when needed . The next morning we did Kalapathar peak , withought rinji I would still be walking up the peak haha . I am already planning on coming back next year to do higher peaks with rinji . He really is a great guide and I trust him with my life . I’m jealous of everyone booking this tour and getting to do it as I wish I could erase my memory and do it all over again . Cheers to the team . Amazing experience . Most importantly . Cheers rinji , your a legend

      The peaceful Nepal
      This was my first visit to Nepal, the hospitality of Narayan, our guide along with the beauty of the place had planted the seed in me to visit this a place again. Would recommend this service to anyone who is looking for a guide in Nepal.

      Excellent
      A really thorough tour of all of the key sights in Kathmandu. Our guide Narayan was very friendly and knowledgeable. He also took us to a fantastic place for lunch which was traditional Nepalese food. We felt very safe and looked after. The driver was also courteous and efficient. A great one day tour of Kathmandu, would throughly recommend!

      Great introduction to Katmandu
      Great day walking tour of Katmandu, with various parts provided by private car. We saw all of the important sites, and had a good explanation given for important details and history. Narayan was a great host and very knowledgable. Would recommend for first timers wanting to see it all as an introduction to cut through the confusion the city can present.

      Amazing !!!!
      This was our third trek in the Himalayas so we can make a comparison. The organization of trekking, guide and porter did everything to make us come back home with the best memories. Our guide Nima is very experienced and we have always felt very safe. We can certainly recommend this company if you are going to the Himalayas. Previously we did a trek to Everest BC and Manaslu Circuit. It's hard to say whether Kanchenjunga trek is more beautiful. Everyone is different. We liked the jungles and small villages where local people cooked us. The view from Oktang to Kanchenjunga is wonderful and we will not forget it for the rest of our lives. Certainly KBC is more wild. Much less tourists compared to the EBC, which was great for us. Thank you so much Nima and MMt Company that you made our holidays great.

      Adventurous mountain biking trip
      This is unlike any other bike tour I have ever done! First things first... check the bike and make sure you are happy with all aspects. We returned the bike for a tune up before commencing the trip... This tour started in the Thamel and Narayan (really friendly and cool guy) took me through the city roads out of Kathmandu. I requested that we don't cycle on the main street and instead take the local bus. Cycling main street is too scary for me. All good with the local bus! To Shivapuri, it's all uphill and so need to be ready for it (good lungs yes). Road is patchy and then some fun rocky paths. The national park is like a jungle and very scenic with forest and waterfalls and a little bit of wildlife there too (leopards by night). There are many a breathtaking view over Kathmandu (incredible). I couldn't have asked for a better tour. You will enjoy this if you want a mountain bike challenge to include a fair bit of bumpy off-road, a little walking and navigating the city streets.

      Amazing, book, don’t need to spend anymore time researching and thinking !!!
      After visiting many agencies I picked MM because it’s a genuine small local business built from scratch by a porter who also gave me the best deal. I requested villages away from the tourist circuit & some high vistas. It was tailored perfectly. I was totally looked after by Narayan 24/7. Everyday was a magical experience in terms of people,culture & vistas. We stayed in comfortable accommodation with local families & delicious food (I’m a foody). It was like having a PA, photographer, guide & friend (important for a solo traveller). He quickly got to know my likes & dislikes & assured they were accommodated daily (so caring). Thank you Narayan for a trip of a lifetime

      Excellent tour of Kathmandu!
      Had such a wonderful time on this trip! My tour guide was Narayan Makaju and he did a great job making me feel at home! He took me to all of the best spots and to some great shopping areas, and lunch was amazing as well. Would recommend this tour to anyone trying to see everything that Kathmandu has to offer!

      Top service
      We had the pleasure of the Langtang 8 days trek with the guide Nima. During the whole trek Nima was very helpful with everything from prevention of altitude sickness to food suggestions, and made sure that we were enjoying the trek every day. We choose to do the trek in the rainy season even though it was not recommended - but the trek was beautiful and we enjoyed it very much. Nima made sure that we were safe (and dry), which we appreciated. We can highly recommend this company and the trek! You are sure that your wellbeing and service is highly prioritized.

      You can Make it
      It was the first brave experience that me and four fellows cambodians took to Ponhill route. i was really looking forward to it but it had some challenges on day 2 onward as my muscles pain contribute another challenges to what we need to overcome. having our colleagues from Mega Mount as guide and porter became an inspiration for me during the difficult period i find myself overcoming. i love their motivation - LETS GO... WE CAN DO IT. SLOWLY WE WILL REACH THERE. esp Marn became my source of motivation to reach the whole route we planned except Ponhilll. But i did not regret it. i highly recommend using this company services. you will enjoy their support, friendship and warmth as part of a team. and the laugh we shared. Thanks Socheata
