"Fantastic Trek to Pikey Peak"
Our Mountain Kick trek to Pikey Peak with guide Kumar and porter Sita Ram was absolutely fantastic. We could see so many of the highest peaks with the trail often to ourselves. Kumar tended to our every need — we couldn't have asked for a better trip.
"Annapurna Circuit — A Bucket-List Experience"
Six friends, one unforgettable Annapurna Circuit with Jiban and the Mountain Kick team. From airport pickup to final drop-off everything ran seamlessly — permits, accommodation and meals all expertly handled. We'd 100% recommend Mountain Kick to anyone trekking Nepal.
"Amazing Everest Base Camp Trek"
A 14 day Everest Base Camp trek with Kumar and Kisor for a group of 5 including a teenager. They adjusted the pace perfectly, ensuring safety at altitude. Their knowledge of the region added real depth — our teenager fully enjoyed every step of the journey.
