Unique experience
Thank you to all the wonderful people, seen and unseen, who have contributed to this unique experience. We will never forget this week. May MV Mahabaahu achieve the recognition and success it so richly deserves.
Brahmaptura and Bhutan
The holiday was lovely, thank you for your organisation. The tour leader and driver in Bhutan were lovely people, couldn't have had better. Boat staff and management on Brahmaputra were all exceptionally lovely, thank you to all.
Remote, challenging & fun
Fabulous remote countryside, friendly staff and local people, a good balance between challenge and fun.
Truly unique experience
Having done a number of treks in this part of the world, this was a truly unique experience which has left indelible memories of vast and untamed landscapes, with extraordinary rock formations such as I have never seen before. We were superbly looked after by our crew who, after each day's hard trek, fed us like kings and anticipated our every need - who could want for more?
Great experience
The whole trip was great - thoroughly enjoyed - well organised and well lead! Excellent does not do a good enough description of the quality and variety of food we were given! Equipment standards were excellent and very comfortable. The trek leader was exceptional, was organised and knowledgeable. I had a great holiday and a great experience that will bring me back to Ladakh and Zanskar. Thank you everyone at Mountain Kingdoms.
Most enjoyable trek
The trek was, by far, the most memorable and most enjoyable trek that I have ever done. Whilst the trek was tough and challenging (and at times not for the faint hearted), the scenery was sensational, the trek crew were exceptionally good and the food excellent. It is refreshing that you have discovered a new, remote, trekking route which, in my opinion, must rank as one of the world's best 'new classic', trekking routes.
Well thought out acclimatisation (former Stok Kangri 6,153m / 20,187ft & Markha Valley itinerary)
Must just comment on the really well thought out acclimatisation programme after arriving in Leh. I certainly needed all of those to help me get up & over the Kangmaru La. Thanks for a memorable holiday.
Caring staff (former Stok Kangri 6,153m / 20,187ft & Markha Valley itinerary)
We really enjoyed the small group of like minded people as well as the caring, professional staff with good in-country support.
Knowledgeable guide
Our guide knew everyone in the Markha Valley and was extremely knowledgeable about the culture, flora and fauna.
Outstanding guide
Our guide was outstanding - the best we have had - his knowledge of the culture and wildlife was unrivalled.
Good acclimatisation
The itinerary was well planned - we had plenty of time to acclimatise in Leh before the trek. Accommodation in Delhi and Leh very good, great food and friendly service.
Kangshung Face of Everest - What an adventure!
What an adventure! I was fascinated by the ancient monasteries but the highlight was undoubtedly the spectacular vista of the seemingly un-climbable face of Everest.
Smooth organisation
What I really enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the smooth organisation, the variety of accommodation and the fantastic road journey to reach Leh.
Great tour leader
Mountain Kingdoms provided a 'cushion' to us less experienced in the adventurous way of travel, through excellent preparation, full information and a great tour leader. There was a fair mix of experiences.
Excellent value
The quality of the holiday experience, very well thought out itineraries, good standards of local staff, accommodation and I think, excellent value for what is provided. Oh and also very helpful and knowledgeable MK office staff!
Terrific walks
There were lots that I loved about the holiday! The walks were terrific. The temple at Alchi was superb. Ladakh retreat was magical.
Reliable
Good service from the MK team. Reliable MK delivers what you see in the brochure, which is well thought out in conjunction with the local tour operator who have a good track record. Consistent quality, all 5 of us on this trip were repeat business for MK.
Brilliant
Really enjoyed the small group of like minded people, the scenery and walks were brilliant.
Well looked after
Trek guide was a lovely man and his knowledge and information was excellent. I enjoyed being looked after very well with good organisation, accommodation, the landscape, local people and being taken to local cafes for tea.
Ladakh - beautiful country
Beautiful location, interesting walks, good small group. Our tailor made pre-trip extension was well organised and really enjoyable.
