“An unforgettable Himalayan expedition”
This was a completely different kind of trip from the usual Nepal trekking routes. The Dhaulagiri region felt remote and untouched -- huge mountains, glaciers, and barely another trekker in sight. The MountainKick team handled the difficult sections with real confidence. Physically demanding, but the sense of adventure was incredible -- one of the most memorable trips I've done.
“Great local company and a fantastic trek”
We booked the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek through MountainKick and were very happy with how it went. The trek itself was beautiful, lovely villages, mountain views, and an amazing sunrise from Poon Hill.
Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek →“A serious adventure in the Himalayas”
The Dhaulagiri Icefall trek was one of the most challenging and rewarding trips we've done. The landscape felt genuinely wild, especially closer to the icefall and the higher camps. Our MountainKick team were experienced, calm, and professional throughout -- demanding days, but being in such a remote part of the Himalayas made every one of them worthwhile. An unforgettable expedition.
“One of the best things we did in Nepal”
We travelled as a couple and picked MountainKick after talking to a few local companies, glad we did. Kishor made us feel comfortable from day one. Waking up at Annapurna Base Camp with mountains all around is something neither of us will forget.
Annapurna Base Camp Trek →“An unforgettable trek”
This was our first trek in Nepal, and Jiban made it feel very manageable from start to finish. The walk into Gokyo was beautiful, but the views from Gokyo Ri were something else entirely.
Gokyo Valley Trek →“More than just a wildlife trip”
Travelling with a group of five friends, we had a brilliant time in Chitwan. The wildlife was obviously the main attraction, but we also really enjoyed visiting the Tharu village and learning about local life. The whole experience felt relaxed and personal -- MountainKick were excellent to deal with and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
“A great experience with MountainKick”
We booked as a small group of two and were happy with MountainKick from our very first conversation. Everything was explained clearly beforehand and the arrangements were simple and well organized. The trek itself was fantastic, especially the villages, local hospitality, and quieter trails -- it felt like a more authentic side of Nepal rather than a busy route. We'd definitely book with them again.
“An unforgettable Nepal experience”
This was our first visit to Nepal and we wanted something more active than a standard sightseeing holiday. The trip gave us a great balance of adventure, culture, and time to enjoy the scenery. Everything was handled well by MountainKick and the local team were genuinely welcoming -- we left feeling we'd experienced far more of Nepal than we expected.
“One of our favourite parts of Nepal”
Our family of four loved the Bardiya safari. We saw rhinos, crocodiles, monkeys, and an incredible number of birds, and the children were fascinated by everything. We also enjoyed meeting local people and learning about life around the park -- MountainKick handled the arrangements very smoothly and made it a really enjoyable few days.
“A memorable journey through the Himalayas”
We wanted something longer and less crowded, and this trek delivered exactly that. The landscape shifts constantly, from the forests of Langtang to the high lake at Gosainkunda and then down through Helambu. The MountainKick team were very professional and our guide took great care of the group -- challenging but genuinely rewarding.
