"The Island Peak climbing trip was extremely well organized and the Mountain Monarch team including guides, porters and cooks were all extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. This was certainly a trip where the delivery was greater than the promises and I felt safe at all times with the experienced team around me. Upon returning from the top of Island Peak the team appeared happier for me than what I even was. Excellent trip and looking forward to my next one."
