A 21-day trek through the Himalayas of Nepal, including the World Heritage Site Sagarmatha National Park. Wow! I cannot believe I finally made it there ... and I'm more amazed that I survived! The IMT trek was so special and different in many ways, from other “package” excursions, primarily because of the small group size, we were able to make side trips to see and do things not actually on the itinerary, we were able to proceed at our pace—not that of the guides’ or rigid itinerary—and then got to have experiences with local people, customs, and festivals. We were invited in to homes and monasteries on several occasions. Talk about off-the-beaten-path travel! The Sherpa guides and porters that work with IMT are hand-selected and have developed very close bonds with the organizer, Richard Silber. And I have to say that the Sherpas were a very big part of what made this such a wonderful experience

The Mushroom EBC tour was a one-of-a-kind adventure! Being a fungi enthusiast, I was thrilled to learn from mycologists and local experts, join guided forays, eat local wild mushrooms and share mushroom stories while trekking with very special people —all of this happening against a beautiful (uncrowded) Himalayan backdrop. Guided by the best-experienced Sherpas, each day was packed with lots of fun and cultural activities. To add more excitement, I ventured into Lobuche Peak as a beginner climber, trained by the sweet Sherpa climbing team that took very good care of me. And for more adrenaline, the tour culminates with an heli ride out of this world. I’d definitely recommend this IMT’s tour to any traveler looking for extraordinary adventures!

IMT’s mushroom trek was a true adventure that brought together an excellent group of people. Our journey was so enriched by the knowledge and attention of our scientists and guides. The itinerary was well planned and the scenery stunning. We came away with deep respect and love for the people and environment of the Himalaya. Not your average hiking trip, it was challenging and engaging each day, with a lot of fun and stories along the way.

I am 27 years old and from Canada. I used International Mountain Trekking in November of 2019 for my trek through the Manaslu Region. I had an absolutely amazing experience with this company and would recommend it to anyone. It was truly a life changing experience to spend 19 days with such a knowledgeable, professional and genuinely caring guide with international Mountain Trekking.

IMT is the absolute best trekking company I’ve ever used. Originally, I was not even a customer of IMT. I was trekking with a friend to Gokyo Ri and EBC. My friend began to suffer symptoms of Altitude Sickness. We were incredibly fortunate to run into the owners of IMT. They were in the middle of a trek to explore the terrain for the upcoming trekking season. They sacrificed their entire trek to help my friend. Because of them, he was taken down to safety and I was able to complete my dream trek. I have never met such knowledgeable, kind, safe, and unselfish guides in all of my exploration. Anybody I talk to about the Himalayas, I recommend IMT. Please only trek with them and no else. You will thank me. Thank you, IMT!
