Safety is the priority with Thomson, including accomplished, trustworthy guides and extremely responsive and personable US staff. Thomson is highly engaged in the local community and advocates porter well-being.  Above all, I found sincere kindness and attentiveness before, during, and after this wonderful experience.

It was not just a hiking experience but a once-in-a-lifetime experience because of the guides, the porters, the chef, and the others in our group. I also cannot stress enough how our porters went above and beyond! The trip was unforgettable and it was all because of the Thomson staff in Boston and on the mountain.
