My father, friend and I wanted to do the Gokyo/ Everest Base Camp trek. Mountain Mart Trekking was a company that a colleague had recommended, so I decided to try them. From the moment I reached out to the company, to the moment we were leaving Nepal, Mountain Mart supported us 110%. Dolakh (Owner) was in constant contact with us and he was able to rearrange our itinerary several times due to changes in weather and travel plans. Dolakh made sure that everything was seamless and hassle free. We were even able to book a quick trip to Chitwan last minute, through Dolakh. I couldn't believe how quickly he was able to put things together for us. I also can't compliment our guide, Bhoj, enough for his amazing service. Bhoj made the whole trek experience so much fun and so informative. He constantly went out of his way to make sure we had the best lodges, best food, and best deals at the local markets. He stayed up late several times arranging a helicopter transport (We decided to cut a few days off after we reached base camp), as well as transport out of Lukla when weather prevented the regular flights from coming in and out. Bhoj was constantly upbeat and happy. He made sure we stayed motivated and healthy. I felt like he truly cared about our experience, and he took great pride in his profession as a guide. We ran into many other groups on the trek who did not have the same service from their guides. Lastly, we had excellent porters (arranged by Mountain Mart). Our porters were treated excellent by the company, and we had the chance to interact with them many times. The best part is that Mountain Mart is a local company! It is based in Nepal, so you are contributing to the Nepalese economy, instead of some foreign tour agency. I can't say thank you enough to Dolakh, Bhoj, and the rest of the team for making our trip to Nepal so amazing! I would 10/10 recommend this company to anyone who wants the best possible people on your side, while trekking/touring in Nepal.
Thanks again!

This is the first time I’ve been to Nepal and I’m so happy my family and I chose to trek with Mountain Mart! The founder of Mountain Mart, Dolakh, is very responsive and knowledgeable of the trekking world. Despite the time differences, he was always able to reply back very fast in whatever inquiries I had, be it big or small.
Everything was well planned out - accommodation, food, trek, timings. All we had to do was follow the schedule! And it was also very flexible!! If we wanted to eat at a different restaurant, or wake up slightly later for our next day of trek, it was allowed.
I must say, our guide Ram was probably the best we’ve ever had. We saw guides from other companies who left their customers behind to drink or didn’t bother to help carry their bags if they were tired, but Ram was none of that.
From Day 1, he ensured that we were well taken care of to the best of his ability. He always made sure that we were given the best accommodation and restaurant according to our taste bud (for my family, we needed halal food, and he sought to find those). He is very friendly, approachable and made jokes along the trek, which made it less painful for everyone as we trekked along.
If anyone has any fears/doubts about which trek package to get before going to Nepal, I would suggest choosing Mountain Mart! They are also quite affordable too! :) I can’t wait for my next trip with them! And I’ll definitely choose Ram as my guide again! Thank you Mountain Mart and Ram for the wonderful experience!

My friend and I just completed a 5 days Poon Hill Trek.
First we contacted Mountain Mart Trek two weeks before our trip to Nepal. We had a good impression towards MMT alreday from the beginning since a manager of Mountain Mart Trek Mr. Dolakh Thapa responted to our inquiry and questions very quickly and accuratly. He organized our trekking pakcage so smoothly.
Our guide Ram Bhandari welcomed us at the airport and took care of us even in Kathmandu preparing for coming Trek. He gave us a lot of useful advice before the Trek started
so that we could spend mountain life without problem. During our 5days trek he always made sure that we had freshly cooked meal, enough drinks, hot shower,etc...to made us happy. His frienlyness and charmingness attracted people around him. Thanks to his character we got more chances to interact with local people at the lodges and experience their culture too. He is a very proffessional guide and has a great passion to make his guests happy.
We had an awsome and confortable trek. Carrying less weight during the long trek is a must thing for us to accomplish our trek. It was great to have our porter Chitla with us!
I highly recommend to book with MMT. Ram Bhandari is the beat guide.

Dear Okikakikokika,
Thank you for the time and consideration for writing the 5-star review.
We are thankful for your appreciation, praise, and recommendation too.
MMT always offers the best amenities or services of accommodation, food, guides-porters, etc. We never compromise on quality service. But, without your co-operation and positive response, we couldn't make the trek successful. You are really very good. We also enjoyed the trek with you.
Your words really touched us. Ram also appreciated your simplicity, friendly behavior, and honesty. He is also pleased and motivated by your praise and appreciation. Thank you for trusting us!
Remember us for any kind of trekking and tour in Nepal.
Have a happy life!
with best regards,
MMT

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 !

Annapurna Basecamp and Poon Hill Trek Review
The trek exceeded our expectations, the views from Poon Hill are truly amazing but nothing compared to the panoramic view one is presented at Annapurna Basecamp.
The trek itself is on an easy to medium scale and not too challenging if one considers oneself to be fit.
Overall we would highly recommend this trek, the views are simply too good to be missed.
Dolakh (who we believe owns and runs Mountain Mart) was extremely responsive throughout the whole booking phase and was very pleasant to deal with in person in Kathmandu. We requested a slight change to the standard itinerary, which Dolakh happily included.
Besides the magnificent views and nature our guide Ram was truly amazing. We are seasoned backpackers and usually make our own way, but spending nine days with Ram changed our perspective in this regards. Ram is one of nicest and honest persons we came across so far. Everything Ram does is done with the right intention and one truly feels that he wants to maximise his client's experience. His constant dedication did not remain unnoticed, many fellow travelers asked us for our tour operator and especially for the name of our guide, which should be testament enough of his character. 10/10 for Ram, an amazing human!

We did a trek to Gokyo and EBC in a private 3 person group. The experience was amazing! From our arrival in Kathmandu everything was taken care of. Flights to Lukla are very weather dependent, so I'd recommend having a few days of leeway. Once we arrived, Bhoj, our guide went above and beyond to arrange everything, often staying up to plan around weather, messaging tea houses to ensure rooms were booked, or arranging transportation when plans changed. 100% recommended - especially to see Gokyo, which in the early morning looks spectacular!

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 ;-)

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.

In April 2022, we completed the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek. This consisted of 10 full days trekking which were challenging but highly rewarding.
When we arrived in kathmandu we were greeted by a MMT associate who transported us to a nice hotel in Thamel. We then had a couple of nights in kathmandu where a city tour was organised for us and we were given time to prepare for the trek. We then flew to pokhara before starting. We started off in the lower parts of Annapurna region, passing through small villages each with their own culture. We gradually made our way up through the mountains until we reached Annapurna Base Camp on day 6, at 4130m high. We then descended back through the valleys before arriving back in Pokhara. Here we got the tourist bus back to Kathmandu.
The trek had some incredible views (most notably at Poon Hill) and we met some lovely people along the way and were cooked some amazing food.
Our guide was Ram Bhandari - without whom I truly believe would have been less memorable. He is a local Nepalese man with a young family who works incredibly hard to ensure his guests have a wonderful time. He takes time to ensure every member of the group is happy, comfortable and enjoying themselves (his favourite saying being: “if you’re happy, then I’m happy!” He phoned hotels in advance to ensure we had the nicest rooms with the best views of the mountains, he took orders for food, cooked food himself for us, bought chocolate and fresh fruit for us daily and lots more.
By the end of the trip I think it’s safe to say that ram was more of a friend than a guide and Im sure we will stay in touch
Special thanks must also go to our porters: Sujan, Chitra, Thakur who were all very smiley and did a great job carrying our bags.
Overall if you’re looking for a place to trek, I would highly recommend the Annapurna region but definitely make sure you book it with MMT - I can guarantee you won’t regret it!

I have just returned from Mera Peak on a trip originally scheduled for April 2020, but rearranged several times due to the pandemic. Firstly I should say that Mountain Mart were very flexible with the rearrangement, allowing us to postpone repeatedly until a time when reduced restrictions allowed the trip to go ahead. Throughout this period they were always very quick to respond to any emails (always well within 24 hours, but usually almost immediate). This was very reassuring during the uncertain times.
From arrival in Kathmandu, Mountain Mart took care of almost everything. We were collected from the airport and taken to a very nice hotel where we had a couple of days to relax and explore Thamel before the trek itself. Internal flights to Lukla and transport to and from the airport were also already arranged and included in the overall cost of the trek.
The trek itself was an incredible experience. Neither my friend or I had ever been to Nepal before, and neither of us had any real experience of that sort of altitude (although both have UK winter climbing experience). Our trekking guide (Lochan), climbing guide (Pemba) and porter (Dawa) very quickly did a very good job of assessing our abilities, and the trek was set to our pace. Within our itinery there was flexibility to allow juggling around rest/acclimatisation days to suit our pace and give us the best chance of making the summit. It was very hard work at times, particularly the long day up to High Camp (we missed out Base Camp) and the summit day itself, but absolutely stunning. We had a perfect summit day with incredible views in all directions, including to Everest.
Our accommodation for most of the trek was a mixture of tea houses and lodges (and one night in a tent at High Camp), and it felt like we were getting the best available. We were very well fed with really good choice at all meal times (including dessert!), and there was no shortage of tea (all covered in the cost of the trek, which kept things hassle free).
Our team of Lochan, Pemba and Dawa were excellent throughout. All were clearly very experienced, very good at judging our needs and assessing our abilities, and really good fun people to share the experience with. It was their expertise that got us to the summit and back safely, and I wouldn't hesitate to team up with them again on the next adventure.
Due to our flight scheduling we had time left at the end of the trek to tag on a few days on the Everest Base Camp route (from Lukla up to Namche Bazar and back). This was all arranged at short notice by Mountain Mart, again with very good accommodation and food, and the good company of Lochan and Dawa.
I fully intend to use Mountain Mart again in the (hopefully not to distant) future - just need to decide what to do next!

It was very hard work at times, particularly the long day up to High Camp (we missed out Base Camp) and the summit day itself, but absolutely stunning. We had a perfect summit day with incredible views in all directions, including to Everest.
Our accommodation for most of the trek was a mixture of tea houses and lodges (and one night in a tent at High Camp), and it felt like we were getting the best available. We were very well fed with really good choice at all meal times (including dessert!), and there was no shortage of tea (all covered in the cost of the trek, which kept things hassle free).
Our team of Lochan, Pemba and Dawa were excellent throughout. All were clearly very experienced, very good at judging our needs and assessing our abilities, and really good fun people to share the experience with. It was their expertise that got us to the summit and back safely, and I wouldn't hesitate to team up with them again on the next adventure.
Due to our flight scheduling we had time left at the end of the trek to tag on a few days on the Everest Base Camp route (from Lukla up to Namche Bazar and back). This was all arranged at short notice by Mountain Mart, again with very good accommodation and food, and the good company of Lochan and Dawa.
I fully intend to use Mountain Mart again in the (hopefully not to distant) future - just need to decide what to do next!

Hi Mark,
I'm glad you had the best experienced with your Everest Base Camp trek with Mountain Mart. I will be making the same journey in April 2017. Where did you stay in Kathmandu prior to your trek? Would you be so kind and share the name of the hotel? I did asked Mountain Trek but they can't recommend a specific hotel.
Thank you kindly,
Alma

Most of the hotel in Kathmandu were along the tourist strip and selling gear
We stayed at Yak and Yenti which is near the US consulate and a bit pricy

Hey Ketawan:
We did the same trip last April, and highly recommend it! In general, most of the online postings you find give the correct overall impression. Here are a few specific tips from us:
- April is a great time to go. But pack for all weather. Most if not all of the winter snow has melted from the trails by then, but you can suddenly get up to a half meter of new snow in a single night, so bring good, waterproof boots and wool socks! We wore wool gloves and hats every day, even at the lower altitudes - at least in the mornings.
- No matter what the weather, bring warm clothes for the nights. Most of the overnight options have some heat in their central meeting/dining room, but the bedrooms hover right above or below freezing in all but the couple first nights. Some nights, before you actually get in your sleeping bag, or mornings when you get up, it seems you just can't get relief from the penetrating cold.
- Most people can do the standard EBC trip up and back in 10 - 12 days. If you're fit and want the challenge, you can go for the slightly longer 'loop' route, which has more ups and downs, and takes around 15 days. Because far less people take the loop route, you don't have to book accommodation there - and can just leave this option as a possibility until you're there and see how you acclimate to the conditions and what weather you have.
- We didn't feel we got the right information about altitude sickness before we went, even though we had been to that elevation several times before. Altitude sickness can range from simple headaches to something more complicated and life-threatening. We saw numerous people get helicoptered down from the mountains every day (at thousands of dollars cost to them). Many people (up to 50%??), however, don't get very sick at these moderate altitudes, if they just go slowly and take their time. All the guides make sure you do this, so you don't really have to think about it too much. But you do have to decide whether to take the altitude sickness tablets or not. One option is to just take them, period. The side effects are minor, similar to taking sea-sickness tablets. Another option is to wait and see how it goes. But in this case, if you start to feel some of the altitude sickness symptoms, you have to start taking the tablets and wait at least one day in the same place in order for them to take effect. Thus you need to build an extra day or two into your trip schedule, just in case. Finally, it seems you can't wait too long to take the tablets. We heard that you need to make the decision before reaching 4500m. After that, the tablets may never really take effect. But we're not fully sure about this - you hear different things from different 'experts'. All we know is we were 4 persons, and only two had any serious effects from altitude. One of them started taking the tablets right away, at around 3500m, and the other didn't. The one who took them made it to EBC, without serious problems. The one who didn't was miserable and had to turn back at 5,500m.
- No matter which route you go and how many days you have, the views are spectacular, every single day. We have so many unbelievable photos of 5,000, 6,000 and 7,000 meter mountains, and they're nothing compared to the bigger ones (which we also have great photos of)!
- Oh, and you might get tired of the food and tea after 2+ weeks, but we found the quality and quantity to be fine - even with some high-volume and fairly picky eaters! Based on the recommendations from others, we went entirely vegetarian, and found that worked out fine (we had plenty of energy, and none of us got sick once - until after the trip!).
- I don't know if it's appropriate to put in a plug for someone here, but we used Prem of Landmark Discovery Treks to guide our trip. Not only was he our 'complete' guide and friend, but he has trekked so much in this area that he knows everyone and was able to change our route and overnight bookings on a day-by-day basis to suite our particular needs and desires of the moment, with no extra cost or inconvenience, just using his mobile phone.
- Interestingly, most people book their trip with a guide and porters 'package' before they get there. I would say 90-95%. I believe most people book before getting to Nepal, but it's also possible to do it after you arrive in Kathmandu. I can't really see the advantage of waiting, though. In general, you get what you pay for. If you pay more, you stay in slightly better places. Of the few people doing it on their own, tenting and backpacking, many of them surprisingly didn't seem to know what they were doing. Not bringing enough clothes, good enough boots, or winter sleeping bags. We met some guys who were desperately borrowing blankets because they didn't have good enough sleeping bags. We expected only the experts would be doing it this way, but in fact the experts, those who were actually climbing to the top of Everest or one of the other smaller peaks, were all at least using porters. Another consideration - there are a number of check stations where you have to have the proper permits and have paid the right fees; you can do it all yourself, but it can be a hassle. Conclusion: You can definitely do this trek on your own, if you're experienced in high-mountain camping and trekking, and want the challenge. But you would be crazy to do it like this if you're not experienced, and really don't know what you're getting yourself in to.
