Client Stories & Testimonials

Long Before the Internet, Our Story Was Already Being Written

Long before websites and social media, the story of RM Treks was already unfolding; not in pixels, but in pen.

Decades ago, trekkers from every corner of the world journeyed into Nepal’s mountains guided by the same faces that lead RM Treks today. They hiked through wind-carved valleys, crossed high Himalayan passes, and shared laughter by candlelight in remote teahouses. At the end of each journey, they left something behind — not just footprints, but handwritten words. Letters. Postcards. Notes tucked inside logbooks. Words of gratitude that became the foundation of our reputation.

Those pages told of real experiences — of trust built in the thin air of the Annapurna, of kindness extended when the trails grew rough, and of deep friendships that outlasted the trek itself.

Before digital marketing or Google reviews ever existed, our clients were our storytellers. Their heartfelt words became our compass, guiding us to keep improving, to keep caring, and to keep doing things the right way — the Himalayan way.


A Legacy Rooted in Trust and Experience

While Rainbow Mountain Treks Pvt. Ltd. (RM Treks) was officially established in 2009, our story stretches far beyond that date. Our founder and core team carry over four decades of experience in Nepal’s trekking and expedition world — years that began when trekking permits were handwritten and trail maps were drawn by hand.

We grew up in these mountains, learning every pass, every village, every nuance of Himalayan hospitality. And just as importantly, we learned from our guests — from the adventurers who placed their trust in us year after year.

Our earliest reputation wasn’t built through advertising. It was built one trek at a time, through honesty, safety, and genuine care. When clients returned home and shared their experiences by letter or word-of-mouth, they became our lifelong ambassadors.

Today, RM Treks is proud to be recognized as a trusted Nepal trekking company, a responsible Himalayan trekking operator, and a reliable corporate travel partner for global adventure brands and travel agencies. But our roots remain unchanged: authentic service, deep experience, and human connection.


Stories Written by Hand: Before the Digital Era

In the 1980s and 1990s, trekking in Nepal was an adventure of pure discovery. There were no GPS devices, no hashtags. Only maps, trust, and teamwork. After every expedition, clients would sit down in the lodge or our Kathmandu office to write heartfelt notes.

Many of these were simple, like:

I was treated very fairly. Great service and price!

Shane Lewis, USA – Oct 23 2009

Others filled entire pages describing their experiences; the laughter shared on the trail, the kindness of the guides, or the beauty of sunrise over the Larkya La Pass.

We had great experience with Rainbow. We have done 15 days of Manaslu trekking. This company is very reliable and respectful. Their job for getting the permit for Manaslu Trek is amazing. We are very happy with RM Treks.

SOONYOUNG LEE, Korea – Feb 23, 2014

We kept every one of those letters. They filled albums, walls, and boxes; a treasure trove of memories that captured the golden age of Himalayan travel.

Even today, when we open those pages, we’re reminded that authenticity never goes out of style.


Our Evolution Online: The Same Heart, a New Chapter

As the world moved online, so did we, carefully, intentionally, and without losing our soul.

In 2025, RM Treks began digitizing these old testimonials, scanning handwritten notes and sharing them on our website and social platforms. Each letter tells a story not just of adventure, but of friendship and shared humanity.

Alongside these cherished archives, we now receive modern-day client reviews on Google (we don’t use other platforms like TripAdvisor, GetYourGuide, Viator, etc., here is why), fresh stories from trekkers who still find the same spirit of care and professionalism that defined us decades ago.

For us, going digital isn’t just about visibility. It’s about preserving a living legacy — a bridge between generations of travelers who’ve trusted us to lead them through the Himalayas.
