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.
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.
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.
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?
There were lots that I loved about the holiday! The walks were terrific. The temple at Alchi was superb. Ladakh retreat was magical.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
Beautiful location, interesting walks, good small group. Our tailor made pre-trip extension was well organised and really enjoyable.

Hugely valuable experience
I have given the trip an "excellent" tick since it is hard to criticise an organisation that succeeded in delivering what was, for me, a hugely valuable experience - where the location genuinely transcended my expectation.
It was a very enjoyable adventure trip, well planned and full of interest. The way the places we stayed in gradually built up in altitude was very helpful.
The itinerary was excellent. Each day we saw/visited amazing, unique places that made me stop in my tracks. Feel lucky to have been to Tibet, I can't praise it enough. I loved the hotels in Tibet; may not have been 5 star but had character and the staff were excellent.
