Amazing ACT experience with MTA team
Our first high altitude trek and first visit to Nepal - we honestly didn't know if we could pull it off. But the MTA team made it possible. Bijay went above and beyond from the very start - detailed guidance, a fully customized itinerary, last minute flight and hotel changes, sleeping bag arrangements - nothing was too much trouble.
On the trail, our guide Chakra Gurung and porter Kipa Sherpa were exceptional. Their patience, support and encouragement got us through every steep climb and every doubt. We genuinely couldn't have done it without them.
The Annapurna Circuit was everything we hoped for and more. We will be definitely returning to Nepal for other treks and it will be with the MTA team.

Amazing Trek with Ganesh
We did the 10-day trek with Ganesh Thapa Magar and it was incredible. He was attentive, helpful, and showed us his mountain and culture in the best possible way. He booked very comfortable nights for us. Everything was perfect. A huge thank you to him!

Reliable trekking agency for Annapurna circuit trek
Had beautiful experience with mta trekking. The communication with Bijay was smooth and service was top notch from starting to ending. My guide shishir was well caring after our needs and safety. I recommend mta trekking for Annapurna circuit for Hassel free trekking experience
The Annapurna tour via ThorongLa Pass was an incredibly cultural and eye opening journey as well as a fantastic hike over a few days.
Ghanshyam was an incredible person and guide. He had the answered to all my questions and a vast knowledge of the mountains, Nepalese, Hindu, Boudhism culture and more.
Furthermore, I loved his kindness and hospitality as well as that of everyone we met along the way.
The views throughout the trek were beautiful, forests, paths, snowy peaks, the villages and the budhist mantra everywhere.
We were lucky to only have one day of rain.
Going mid September was great, as there were no crowds yet. It felt surreal, seeing mountain goats, yaks, donkeys, horses.
Thanks to the attention of my guide and MTA for providing with everything I needed.
