Langtang Valley and Gosaikunda trek

This march I had a wanderful experience of trekking solo in the Langtang Valley and then to Gosaikunda lakes All together 16 days of trekking in changeable weather - sun, rain, snow, strong wind etc. Yet we managed to archive all our goals which was possible owing to the great job of Min who is not only intelligent, profesional and experienced guide but also a very good companion. The trek was organised by the Mountain Hawk. I felt very safe from the first moment of my contact with Prem. He was very helpful to me not only during the preparatory phase. He monitored the event on a daily bases caring about adecuate standard of safety and accommodation. Also, he helped me a lot after the trek, when my flight was cancelled due to the war. I am very grateful to Prem and Min for making this time so unforgettable adventure. By the way, it was already my second trek with the Mountain Hawk. Last year I went on the Mount Everest Base Camp trek which was a truly remarcable time for me. Moreover, I am already planning my next trek with the Mountain Hawk!

Annapurna Circuit

We had a brilliant trip with Prem. He arranged a trek for 8 of us around the Annapurna Circuit. We were a group of 30-65year olds. The trekking element was 8 days. We had a couple days of sightseeing in Pokhara and Kathmandu. The planning was excellent from transport to food, good hotels and teahouses. We learnt so much about the surrounding nature and villages along the way. Thank you to Prem, Min and Sanjay for a lovely trip. The scenery was beautiful, people were kind and warm and we have made memories for a lifetime.

Trip of a lifetime

I trekked with a group of 12 to Everest Base Camp in May 2023 with Mountain Hawk (MH). Prem and his team organised the trip to the finest detail. MH is an experienced operator ensuring that the trekkers' fitness levels are looked at from the outset. This ensures almost 100% success rate. I will definitely recommend MH as a responsible enabler.

Trip of a lifetime! An experience I will never forget

Prem and his team made the expedition a magnificently memorable experience. The views were amazing and the feeling of achieving daily goals to reach the Everest Base Camp under Prem's leadership was incredible. Prem's invaluable experience and knowledge of the mountains, his confidence, competence and considerate attention to everyone's specific needs helped us successfully reach the Everest Base Camp. He provided guidance on what we should wear, what to eat (or not to eat in my case as I like being adventurous!), to keep hydrated and he set the pace for trekking each day, kept on reminding us it is our own race! He made sure we were medically and physically fit each day for the trek. Thank you to Prem and his team for making my first Everest Base Camp trek an incredibly memorable experience. I have no hesitation in recommending Mountain Hawk Trekking for a splendid experience, the best in class!

Gokyo Ri, Cho La pass and Island Peak

Prem is a weather god, protector of stomachs, and guide extraordinaire. I cannot speak highly enough of Prem and Mountain Hawk Trekking. He had everything organised and quickly adapted plans when things needed to change. He managed our acclimatisation well, taking us up slowly and monitoring our O2 each day. In years to come I will bring my children to see the beauty of Nepal and I will definitely go with Prem.

The most remarkable trip Mustang

My wife and I went to Upper Mustang in October of 2016 with Prem Pandit from Mountain Hawk Treks. I can only say that it was the most remarkable trip we’ve ever been on. Mustang is vast, stark, raw, remote, and to date, unspoiled. The landscape is most reminiscent of the old American West, just bigger, and with the Himalayas as the backdrop, and more spectacular. It is high desert with altitudes ranging from 2800 to 4000 meters (9000 to 13,500 ft). Daytime temperatures were a comfortable 15C (60F), nighttime approaching 0C (32F). The culture is Tibetan, and the entire area is dotted with Buddhist monasteries, stupas and chortens. Beautiful works of religious art are found within the monasteries (which are dark inside: a flashlight is a necessity) and the chortens. The villages themselves are small, with people living traditional Tibetan, Buddhist lives. You feel that you are looking back in time. I suspect this will begin to change as adventure tourism continues to grow. Our guide Prem was indispensable. He not only planned our trek with us in mind (we are in our sixties), but he is very flexible and made wonderfully thought-out changes to our plans when circumstances dictated. Our impromptu trek to Muktinath comes to mind as one of the highlights, and it was added because we needed an extra day in Lo Manthang which changed the original itinerary. Prem is passionate about what he does. He is very well informed about the wildlife, the cultural and the religious aspects of this region. He loves trekking and it shows. His thoughtfulness and insight made sure we had a successful trip. I recommend him highly to anyone who wants a real adventure. Prem is honest, considerate, and highly respected in the villages and among his peers. He will not let you down. This was our second trek with Mountain Hawk, and we’d go again with Prem.

Cho La high pass, third time

We first used Mountain Hawk Trekking in 2010 when we completed a short 8 day Annapurna circuit and the Everest Base Camp Trek. His level of planning, care and attention was simply outstanding. If you are planning to trek in Nepal, do yourself a really huge favour and use Mountain Hawk Trekking; we highly recommend them.

Best trekking Company for Gokyo valley

Only 2 members of our team of 18 had been to Nepal before and both times with Prem and his team at Mountain Hawk (MH). The fact that we chose MH again is a testament to their excellent organisation and ability to manage such a large group. There was a lot of correspondence before the trip which was very efficiently handled by Prem and his guidance in preparing us for the expedition was invaluable. As you can imagine, looking after each one of a group of 18 with diverse needs is not easy but throughout the trip, the entire crew was superb and attended to all our needs with patience and a smile. There were some tricky moments as weather conditions were testing but their encouragement and support got us through. Above all, we all had a lot of fun and laughter with them as we felt they were like a family to us. Thank you MH from all our hearts and look forward to more trips with you.

Guest houses were very good and the food excellent

Had a great trek to EBC with Mountain Hawk in March 2012. Badri was our excellent guide and Niraj our porter. Everything was organised so well and our safety came first. Guest houses were very good and the food excellent. I recommend Mountain Hawk to anybody.

Travelled with Mountain Hawk

Sarah and I travelled with Mountain Hawk Trekking to Everest Base Camp in January 2012. Prem was recommended to us by friends as a very professional and knowledgeable guide and we were not disappointed. Our flights from Kathmandu to Lukla and back, meals and accommodation on the trek, porters and park passes were all arranged by Mountain Hawk Trekking. Prem's attention to detail is fantastic, as is his knowledge of the area. He ensured we were well looked after while walking, and in guesthouses each night. Prem and his team are very professional, friendly, and have a wonderful sense of humour, all of which added up to an absolutely wonderful trip. I can highly recommend Mountain Hawk Trekking for your trip to Nepal, we are certainly planning to return.

Very memorable Annapurna Trek

Thanks for a very memorable Annapurna Trek that you and your group managed for my party. We found the Mountain Hawk team to be excellent, and everyone involved did their utmost to ensure our trip was successful, safe, and enjoyable. Our trek leader, Badri Karki was great, and he really went the extra mile to make sure our trekking experience was first rate. Thanks again, and best wishes.

Great beer guide around Kathmandu

I trekked to EBC in January 2012 with Prem as our guide. What a fantastic bloke he is, a brilliant guide, ensures that food at guest houses is tip top and also a great beer guide around Kathmandu on our return. I have recommended Prem to others and they have booked him for EBC later this year. Prem, you took loads of photos, you choose which one to go on.

Some mountains
don't wait

Permits close. Weather windows narrow. The best Everest region teahouse beds fill by October, and spring season opens again in March. Our Kathmandu team is already booking for autumn. If you have been planning a trek, this is the window.
