Since our inception in 1964, Mountain Travel Nepal has been committed to providing trekking service which is both environmentally and socially responsible. With an increasing pressure on the mountain environment from global climate change, over-tourism, and general development, we believe that a responsible tourism approach to conducting treks is more acutely needed today than ever before.
In order to preserve and maintain the beautiful destinations where we operate, Mountain Travel Nepal follows the seven principles of Leave No Trace. Find out how we do this below.
We firmly believe that tourism, when delivered responsibly, can have a profound and sustainable impact on local communities. By providing jobs and supporting local economies through tourism, private companies help people and their communities grow by increasing their income and in turn their opportunities for education, better health, and material security.
Indeed, Mountain Travel Nepal has proved this to be the case throughout its 55 years of service. Though started by a foreigner, Col. Jimmy Roberts, the company was built and run almost exclusively by the local people, many of whom went on to start their own trekking companies later on. With a passion for the mountains and a deep adoration and respect for the Nepali people, Col. Roberts built a legendary company, and his name is still well-known and highly respected among the people of the high Himalayas in Nepal.
Just as when Mountain Travel Nepal was established, to this day we still aim to bring responsible tourism to the most remote areas where economic development is most needed. By going to these isolated regions and villages, you are actively contributing by providing local employment and building a local economy that can sustain the livelihoods of whole communities.

The Trek of a Lifetime (Milke Danda Trek - Makalu Region)-2023
We went on a 50th anniversary trek in the eastern region of Nepal's middle hills. The route was much discussed with Ashok Awal whose planning, pre-trek guidance and in-trek support was superb. He put together an excellent core team of Sherpas led by the excellent Chhong Kharma Sherpa supported by the tireless Rinji Sherpa and the utterly brilliant cook and cooks boy, Ongdi Sherpa and Mingma Sherpa (thanks to their efforts we reckon we may be the first trekkers to put on weight during our time in the hills). The weather turned against us so we made radical changes to the planned itinerary but the excellence of the preparation ensured this was accomplished with ease (at least for us) and some aplomb. This was trekking in a grand manner with considerable style, boundless care and as much comfort as its possible to achieve when camping in hot lower levels and damp cloudy middle levels. MTN's reputation preceded it but it was wonderful to see historic standards of excellence being maintained. Thank you for a trek of a lifetime.

The Sherpa Village Trek (Everest Region)-2023
I recently returned to visit Nepal for a month in March/April 23 after a gap of about 40 years and used Mountain Travel Nepal again through Ashok Awal and his team to make ALL the arrangements.
This included the Sherpa Village Trek in the Solukhumbu region in Sagamartha National Park, the Langtang Valley Trek in Langtang National Park and accommodation in Thamel, Shivapuri Heights and Bhaktapur while in the Kathmandu Valley.
The whole month was a wonderful experience. Advice and communication was professional and I always felt safe and looked after. This was commented on by others I met along the way and I think a tribute to the experience of Mountain Travel Nepal.
A big thank you to Sherpa Ngawang Namgel and Porter Pemba Nuru and the staff of the Mountain Lodges of Nepal in the Solukhumbu region for sharing their unique way of life. It was a privilege to have the Sherpas show me wild life and birds along the trails and for sharing their lives and experiences. Thank you.

Khopra Danda Trek 2023
We enjoyed our trip a lot! And Surendra is a really professional and wonderful guide, and we would definitely recommend him to others!

On arrival in Kathmandu, I knew from our very first meeting with Tamding Sherpa, our senior guide, that we were in good hands. Tamding paid attention in particular to a senior member of our group, and provided all the care needed for all of us to succeed. The service was second to none. The fact that he had worked with the company for so many years spoke volumes about his loyalty to the firm. Mountain Travel Nepal’s experience in the industry and the care they show their staff is in a class of its own. Happy staff makes for a happy trek – and ours certainly was!

Langtang Valley Trek
We used Mountain Travel Nepal on our most recent trip in April 2019 to organize a trek in the Langtang Valley and were so happy with the level of service they gave our group. The experienced staff add so much value to a trek, showing you secret spots along the trail, introducing you to cultural life in the mountains, and spotting elusive wildlife you might normally miss! I would thoroughly recommend Mountain Travel Nepal, particularly for families and others who have a commitment to ethical travel.

Everest Base Camp Trek
If you are planning a trip to Nepal then "Mountain Travel Nepal" is your go-to agency. We had an amazing experience with the company and Mr. Ashok. We track the Everest Base Camp in 10 days.
The team was very helpful in providing us with detail, adjusting the route accordingly before and after due to weather changes where needed, provide insights into the culture and the people, and supporting us in any way they could to achieve and successfully complete the trek. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. We will come back.. I'm sure of it. Special thanks to our guide Loken and our two porters Dipak Rai and Bibek Rai who took very good care of us providing a positive and family atmosphere.

Mera Peak Climbing
We want to say a big thank you Ashok and Sonam at Mountain Travel, for a wonderful and unforgettable trip to Mera Peak.
Everything went very smooth and professional from planing the itinerary to the summit day. We first met both Sonam, our guide and Ashok, our agency contact and got a great feeling. Easy to talk to and discuss upon our trip details. All clear and great plan that fitted our thought of a Mera Peak expedition.

The Langtang Valley Trek-2023
A big thank you to Sherpa Sonam Ngima and Porter Phure Lema in the Langtang Valley and to the staff in the Langtang Tea Houses for making me feel so welcome and for sharing their unique way of life. It was a privilege to have the Sherpas show me wild life and birds along the trails and for sharing their lives and experiences. The whole month was a wonderful experience. Advice and communication was professional and I always felt safe and looked after. This was commented on by others I met along the way and I think a tribute to the experience of Mountain Travel Nepal.
