Review from tripadvisor
This is my third out of four times in Nepal that I’ve engaged Mountain Hiking and Trekking services. Gokyo (Chola Pass), Everest Basecamp and Imja Tse (Island Peak). The success of all the treks were made possible by the professional service from their awesome trekking and climbing Sherpas and Tandi himself which were all very friendly and we became mates. They really took good care of you not only in Kathmandu but whilst on the mountain region which to me is very important due to the other factors, e.g. AMS etc. Their detailed and flexible arrangements made the trek enjoyable. I highly recommend Tandi from Mountain Hiking and Trekking if you intend to trek in Nepal.
