I went on a 19-day trek on the Annapurna Circuit. I had great communication with Lily and Govinda before arriving in Nepal and throughout my trip. They shared with me all the information that I needed. Ganesh, and a porter, Nima. Both of them were incredibly kind. They literally held my hand through the toughest parts of the trek and we also had lots of fun playing cards, sharing anecdotes and trying to learn each other’s languages. The Annapurna circuit itself is incredibly beautiful and diverse. Since I arrived at the end if the monsoon season there were still some rains and landslides which made the days at lower altitudes a little tricky but once we started to ascend the weather changed and we had wonderful views of the mountains on this range and visited several Tibetan towns and Gompas. Overall, I had a great experience with them I would take a trip again with them in a heartbeat. Thanks, Ganesh, Nima, Lily, and Govinda!

Wish we could go back already! Govinda and Lilly just went above and beyond for my friend and I!! Shortly before arriving in Nepal, I started experiencing knee pain. I got so worried about the trek, but they changed our itinerary without any fuss whatsoever. They got us the most caring and knowledgeable trekking guide Ganesh. And they checked in with me frequently during the trek, to check if I was doing ok and enjoying. After the trek they even organized a very nice jungle safari to Chitwan NP for us. Their great tips and flexible attitude before and during our trip made it a HUGE succes!! Govinda and Lily thank you so much for your patience and helpful advice. I will be back for sure!

While I was making plans for a trip to Nepal, I accidentally encountered By Mountain People on Instagram. I liked what I saw and I started corresponding with, Govinda, the owner. Over several weeks, Govinda helped me put together an itinerary that met my needs. My biggest worry was, given my age (65), whether or not I was physically fit enough for the 8 day Mohare Danda trek that Govinda proposed. He was positive that I was capable and would enjoy this trek. He wasn't wrong! One of the things I really appreciate is that, although this company is smaller than some others, they really pay attention to the details and take care of their clients. At every point during my trip, Gopal (Govinda's brother) made sure I had the right equipment, was on the right bus or taxi, and comfortable in the hotels they chose for me. My modified 8-day Mohare Danda trek was the absolutely best part of my entire month in Nepal. The first day, I was struggling to keep going for the 4-1/2 climb to our first stopping point. My guide Susis kept me going, let me rest when I needed, and encouraged me to complete that first day. After that, I acclimated and my legs got stronger and each day got easier for me. I was impressed with Susis's knowledge of the mountains and the villages and the people of the Annapurna sanctuary. He kept me healthy by recommending good hydration, good diet, good rest, and early starts so we could finish our day's trek ahead of any possible afternoon or evening thunderstorms. By the end of this trek, I felt like I could walk another week and wished I had more time to keep exploring the mountains. It was an awesome experience! By Mountain People also arranged for a short 2 day trip to Chitwan, with local guided safaris, which was a great introduction the animal life of the terai lowlands. This was my first visit to Nepal and it was a wonderful success because of the great people who are By Mountain People. Thank you Susis, Gopal, and Govinda for helping me have such an outstanding vacation in Nepal. I plan on taking another trip with By Mountain People next year.

By Mountain People is the best and most flexible trekking agency you'll find in Nepal. Our plans changed multiple times, but Govinda and his team always came up with a solution that worked for us. Even during the trek itself, our plans changed. We were supposed to do a 5-day low altitude trekking, but during our trek, we decided we could go for something a bit more challenging. Mardi Himal High Camp was our new target! Unfortunately, due to altitude sickness, we didn't make that, but we still had a great trip out in the mountains. During the trek, Govinda made sure we were safe. He always checked the kitchen of the places we ate and gave us advice on what (not) to have. He is very knowledgable about the area and told us lot's of interesting information about the mountains and its villages. He arranged all the meals, accommodations and the jeep-drive for us and they even arranged hotels in both Kathmandu and Pokhara ánd the flight from Kathmandu to Pokhara. By Mountain People can create a travel itinerary that totally suits your style and wishes. In fact, we already booked our next adventure with them: a 10-day custom made trekking to Mohare and Khopra Danda in a month. We cannot wait for another great adventure with them!

Thank you for rating us and reviewing so extensively! It was wonderful having you in Nepal and trekking with us. It was a pity that we couldn't complete the trek, but; safety first! And, fortunately, we did have a great time and we are looking forward to our next trek next month!

Travelling by Mountain People is exactly what you expect! Overwhelming mountains, meeting very very nice people to stay with and come home safely. It's great to have a really nice Nepalese guide with you. It's fun and they know the mountains very well. It makes you feel safe. And it's nice to have Nepalese speaking people with you, to meet the Nepalese mountain people. A great experience.

Everest Base Camp was on my bucket list for quite some time. And to be honest, I was a little bit worried whether I would be able to do it. I don't have that much experience with hiking. Just in Europe. Thanks to the owner Govinda and his wonderful team I can finally say I DID IT!!
By Mountain People is a small company but very professional and experienced. They really took time to inform me to make sure I got myself prepared properly. And they answered allll of my questions. (And I had a LOT of them.) :) :) During the trek my guide always made sure I was feeling good and not crossing my limits. I absolutely recommend this company to anyone who is looking for adventure but wants to make sure that you're taken care of too. And I hope I can come back to Nepal for another trekking. One thing's sure: I will do that with this company. Thank you!! You're the best!
