TESTIMONIAL
My wife and I booked Mountain Hawk Trekking for four weeks in January 2010. Prem the owner of Mountain Hawk Trekking offered to be our guide for a short 6 day Annapurna trek followed by a 14 day Everest Base camp Trek. Prem was sensational and in a very short time was able to organise all our transport, accommodation, meals, extra clothing and porters for both treks. Prem looked after everything - all we had to do was fly into Nepal. Our holiday planning was effortless.
Prem has over 13 years experience trekking in Nepal and it shows. He had incredible knowledge of the areas we were trekking through and owing to his obvious popularity and friendship Prem was greeted enthusiastically by villagers as we passed through.
Unlike other trekkers we passed along the way, we did not get sick at all as Prem took exceptional care of both Trisha and I and was especially careful with our water and meals. There is always the risk of high altitude sickness. Other trekkers needed drugs and/or could not complete their ascent to Base camp and had to turn back, however we had no problems with altitude as once again Prem made sure that we spent sufficient time acclimatising to ensure our successful trek.
The four weeks we spent trekking with Prem in Nepal was without doubt the best holiday we have ever had. Prem provided us with professional, courteous, careful and considerate service. Unlike other larger trekking companies who had over twenty people in their group and appeared terribly overcrowded, Prem offers private one on one trekking. It was wonderful.
Seriously, if you want to go trekking in Nepal use Mountain Hawk Trekking. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Prem and his team of professionals. In fact, we are already planing our next holiday with Prem.

Thank you Prem for your guidance and hospitality on my trip around the Himalaya. It was a great trip, once I will never forget. Your knowledge of the mountains is amazing. I will no doubt be back and calling you and join on Mountain Hawk Trek again.
All the best for the future.

"Nepal is a beautiful country with diverse and stunning scenery. The culture in the cities is unmissable, with a really friendly and spiritual atmosphere. Trekking into the mountains gives a sense of sereneness and tranquility, surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views. The feeling of being at one with nature and so far from the rest of the world creates an ambiance of unique peace and calmness. It is a truly unforgettable experience and the fantastic service provided by Mountain Hawk makes the journey all the more memorable."

"I had a wonderful week in Nepal in 2007 on the Poon Hill trek. I was very fortunate to have Prem (Pandit) as my guide.
Prem is a very experienced guide who speaks excellent English. He was a delight to spend time with as he was able to tell me all about the mountains and the flora and fauna. He was also able to tell me about the local customs and lifestyles of the people who live in the small Himalayan villages. Prem goes out of his way to make sure that you are comfortable at all times. I wholeheartedly recommend Prem as a guide. He is absolutely first class."

Prem was my guide and friend during my Everest Base Camp - Gokyo trek in Oct 2007. Prem is an excellent guide in many ways. He has great knowledge of the mountains, the people, the cultures and special things that only an experienced local guide can provide. Compared to other guides that I've come across in Nepal, he is genuinely a very fun person to trek with and you can see that this is his passion and not only business. His connections are very wide and all along the trek he has so many friends; porters, lodge owners, mountain guides, trekking guides, etc.
While there are many bigger trekking companies in Nepal, they are normally more expensive and less personal due to the size of the trekking groups. Therefore, I would highly recommend Prem's company to those who wants to have a very personal and professional guide who can show them the hidden secrets of Nepal while trekking. I will definitely be looking for Prem when I'm back trekking in Nepal.

"We completed the Everest Base Camp in December 2008 with Prem and we had an incredible time. When you have no previous serious trekking experience and no experience in Nepal, travelling with the right guide is the single most important element of your trip and we have to say we felt very lucky.
Prem was friendly and flexible, yet always gave us the space we needed. He is experienced and extremely knowledgeable about trekking, mountain and Nepali culture. With him we felt safe - we believe his advice contributed a great deal in us not getting altitude sickness - and well taken care of. He for example managed to get us the best rooms in the lodges we stayed in whenever he could - so all we had to do was to focus on enjoying our trip.
With his knowledge of less traveled trekking regions, including in India, as well as his experience of the most popular technical trekking peaks in Nepal, we felt that there is a lot more to discover and we will contact him for sure for our next trekking adventures.
