MNGS was originally incorporated as Point South in the US in 1981, Guides de Point Sud in Europe in 1989 and MatterhornNepal in 2001 in Nepal. For more than three decades we have guided individuals, groups, families and corporate professionals in Europe and on Himalayan high altitude mountaineering expeditions, treks in Europe and Asia, rock and ice climbs, training sessions and outdoor activities of all types and levels. We currently guide climbs of dozens of 4000m peaks in Europe, and the Himalayan peaks of Everest, Cho Oyu, Manaslu, Makalu, Broad Peak, Shishipangma, Ama Dablam and others, while also offering 18 ‘trekking peaks’ for less experienced and non-technical mountaineers. We regularly guide 27 various treks in Nepal, Tibet, India and Bhutan from one week to several weeks in length, visiting mountainous regions and cultural points of interest.

Our climbing instruction, avalanche courses, snowshoeing outings, wildlife observation hikes, training programmes, safety presentations, horse treks and rafting trips provide a varied choice of professionally guided experiences, for all levels of fitness and trip length. Additionally, we serve groups, clubs, schools and corporate clients with special programmes, informative presentations and full-service off-site meetings designed to meet each client’s specific needs. We welcome all inquiries regarding instruction details, methodology, special needs, custom outings and scheduling arrangements. The following is only a brief overview of our programmes, and most guiding and instruction is custom tailored to our clients’ interests and needs.

Our most important commitment: A percentage of every activity fee and 100% of Presentation fees goes directly to support the EON Charity, Education for Orphans of Nepal (read about it on the EON Page). Our years of outdoor adventure have focused our appreciation and dedication on these wonderful children in need. We hope our clients will recognize this important opportunity to help.

So, come have fun with us, benefit a worthy cause and learn a tremendous amount in the process! Whether you wish to learn the basics of a sport from scratch, summit a particular peak, enjoy a leisurely educational hike or get up close and personal with a Grade 6 ice route that has been keeping you awake, we can make it happen.
