Safety and altitude

Tent Peak Climbing reaches 5,663 m, which is very high altitude. Most people adapt well when they climb slowly, so the pace of the itinerary matters more than fitness alone.

How we pace it

The higher routes include acclimatisation days. Your guide checks every day how you are coping, can add a rest day, and will turn the group around if conditions or anyone's health make it unsafe to go on.

Know the signs

Headache, nausea, loss of appetite, dizziness and poor sleep are early signs of altitude sickness: tell your guide and do not go higher. Confusion, breathlessness at rest or unsteady walking are serious: descend at once.

Insurance and rescue

Travel insurance that covers medical treatment, air ambulance and helicopter rescue is a condition of booking. Check that your policy covers mountaineering up to 6,000 m. If an evacuation is needed, we coordinate it with your insurer.

Our crew

Our guides are licensed and come mostly from the mountain regions. Porters carry no more than 25–30 kg, are insured, and are never sent down alone when they are sick or hurt.

Poon Hill and ABC trek

I can really recommend Mountain Delights. We did a 9-day trek to Poon Hill and ABC and the whole experience was great.

Right from the start, Ram was super helpful in the office, giving us clear info and a lot of time to help figure out what trek suited us best. Our guide, Geli Sherpa, was a great guy, very professional but also shared so much about his culture and even joined in on our card games in the evening. Our porter, Peam Sherpa, did an amazing job and we were so glad to have him with us.

The best part was Geli’s expertise. He noticed the weather was shifting and suggested we reach base camp a day early. That easy change gave us "crazy good" weather and an amazing sunrise and sunset. Even when our flight to Pokhara was 3 hours late due to weather, they handled everything so smoothly that we never felt stressed.

The whole trip felt very personal and safe. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure with them!

Mountain Delights - highly recommended

I have trekked with Mountain Delights multiple times over the last 20 years and would not use any other trekking company. Their guides are knowledgeable and have high regard for their trekkers’ safety and comfort. And together with the porters, they ensure that the trek is a fun experience for all. They are a reliable and trustworthy company who have received multiple industry accolades. My recent trek to Kopra Danda was incredible in every aspect. And the coordination of pre and post trekking activities in Nepal was seamless. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Out guides, made the hike enjoyable and safe in all ways.
The guided citytours in Kathmandu and Pokhara were also fine.

My warmest recommendation!

Mountain delights made our Trekking to Mardi Himal and the city visits in Pokhara and Kathmandu so enjoyable and they made this into a trip we will never forget. Mountain delights made our trip well planned and with guides and porters that did their utter most to make our trip the best. What aldo feels great is that Mountain delight gives back to society by sponsoring rural villages and making it possible for children with no means to go to school. My warmest recommendation of Ram and Mountain Delights.

Return to Trekking : I did a Annapurna Sanctuary Trek with Ram about 20 years ago

I did a Annapurna Sanctuary Trek with Ram about 20 years ago and that was unreal. A few weeks ago I returned with my wife and 5 friends to do the Kopra Danda Trek with his company. While it was taxing, (legs are 20 years older) it was incredible and extremely worthwhile. Our guides Purna and Binod great company and 4 porters friendly. Glad to see Binod still with the company after all these years. Ram and his company Mountain Delights made sure everything worked like clockwork which isn't easy in Nepal.
