Annapurna Luxury Lodges in Nepal Traveller Reviews

I spent time in Kathmandu and treking in the Annapurna region of Nepal. The trip was a repeat of a similar trip I had made 30 years earlier. The trek was guided and we stayed at luxury lodges.

The Mountain Company and Roland Hunter its leader were outstanding. Roland was generous with his time as we planned the trip and offered excellent advice. He was always accessible as I planned. On the ground Roland and team provided fantastic support. The trip was delivered as advertised with no negative surprises and the overall experience exceeded my expectations.

From start to finish the holiday proved a wonderful experience trekking in the Annapurna region of Nepal. Beautiful countryside, amazing scenery, stunning mountain views and trekking through small local mountain villages. From first thing in the morning when we had our early morning coffees, until last thing at night when we met up with other trekkers and enjoyed happy hour, great food and company, we loved it. Everyone was extremely friendly and the lodges and staff were excellent Our guide and porter were so helpful giving us confidence and supporting us the whole time. They were full of information about the Himalayas and local culture and we enjoyed many laughs daily. Fully recommend the trip.

We investigated many options prior to booking. Roland Hunter and his team at The Mountain Company offered us the best options for our adventure. The company were excellent throughout, giving us full and detailed pre trip information and answered every question we had very promptly. Once we arrived in Kathmandu we were met by Jo who works directly for TMC and she set us up brilliantly for the trip. She also organised our day tours in both Kathmandu and Pokhara which are well worth doing. I would fully recommend the Mountain Company.

We trekked for 6 days/5 nights with The Mountain Company staying at Ker & Downey properties. It was magnificent. Notably it was our second time doing the trek with same company. They were terrific first time around too.

The Mountain Company - superb in every way

Easy walking in Nepal with fantastic mountain scenery

Well organised with excellent communication

We had a 6 day guided trek in the Modi Khola valley, visiting many delightful Nepalese villages, and seeing splendid mountain scenery from every lodge. Each day was around 5-6 hours at a leisurely pace with lots of opportunity to stop and take in the surroundings. Our guide, who is from the valley, was outstanding and made sure we got to see as much as possible of village life. We also spent a couple of days at either end in Kathmandu and Pokhara, but for us there was no question it was the trek that made the holiday.

We booked through The Mountain Company who maintained excellent communications throughout - very quick to provide answers to the many questions we raised before we travelled, and also there to meet us in Kathmandu for a pre-trek chat and a post-trek debrief. We did have one or two minor glitches with the airport transfers but these were resolved quickly.

Trekking itineray very well designed. Accommodation and food of a high standard and met the trip description. The guide and porter assigned to us were absolutely fantastic, incredibly professional yet friendly with wonderful warm spirits.They gave us a personalised insight to the people and culture of the mountain villages. Trekking arrangements i.e. flights, taxi transfers, permits, initial greeting pre trek from the guide were all exceptionally well planned. The Nepalese people are are very welcoming. I will definitely return to Nepal.

The Mountain Company totally professional but pre trip, during the trip and post trip. Absolutely no hic- ups, everything went to plan with incredible precision. Would recommend to anyone wishing to go trekking.

I did a beautiful trek in the Annapurna foothills using the wonderful comfort lodges with ensuite showers. Afterwards flew onto Bhutan with highlights walking up to Tiger's Nest monastery and the black necked cranes in Gangtey.

Highly recommended, they were knowledgeable and helpful with pre trip and in country support.
