Unique Bhutan
I very much enjoyed my holiday. It was everything I had hoped/expected, and more. Visiting Bhutan was a unique experience.
Awe-inspiring scenery
We felt throughout that we were in the hands of accomplished experts in the field. We particularly enjoyed taking a trip that was so far removed from many other tour packages. The tour combined awe-inspiring scenery, local contact, expert insights into a serene way of life, deeply committed staff, good accommodation (for that part of the world) and mostly excellent vegetarian food that is so hard to find in many places elsewhere.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Bhutan - Remarkable
I was extremely impressed with your company's trip planning, itinerary and general organisation. I really loved my holiday. Thank you for taking me to the most remarkable place.
I was not disappointed
Émy hopes and expectations were very high and I was not disappointed - it was a superb holiday.
Excellent holiday to Bhutan
This was an excellent holiday. All in all it is difficult to see how you could improve on this holiday.
Excellent trip to Bhutan
It was an excellent trip... We really enjoyed the contact that he gave us with his family. We really enjoyed the Paro festival and the dzong.
Off-the-beaten-path
Being in a small group. Visiting the Haa Valley which seemed to be off the regular tourist circuit. My fellow travellers were delightful. Our local guide Karma and drive Sangay were both excellent and most helpful. I especially enjoyed our visit to the Haa Valley and would recommend that it become a regular feature of trips to Bhutan.
Chorten Path - great experience
I have trekked with you since 1990. I know it is always going to be well organised and a great experience.
Chorten Path Trek - Beautiful scenery
Bhutan was a wonderful country to visit - we felt privileged to be able to visit - beautiful scenery, friendly people, colourful surroundings. We felt the route, accommodation and staff were carefully selected by Mountain Kingdoms, who also managed our travel arrangements and expectations very well.
Bhutan trek - great trek crew
Our trek leader and his team throughout the trek could not have been more helpful - they were all knowledgeable and could not be faulted in anything they did. The food that was prepared for us was incredible compared to similar holidays we have been on.
Exceptional service
Very efficient organisation and exceptional service from local staff - very professional, courteous and attentive. Good balance between trekking (natural beauty) and well-informed sightseeing (culture). Quite apart from the astonishing beauties that Bhutan itself has to offer.
Seamless organisation
All organisational aspects were seamless and there seemed to be a real empathetic understanding of the cultures we visited. Mountain Kingdoms guides know their stuff and are dependable leaders.

Well-planned itinerary
The thing I appreciated in you offering this trek is that you had the intention to do the complete trek and add quite a lot of extra days for bad weather etc. The other groups doing the trek were a lot more stressed to get things done.

Beautiful & remote
You use the best local trekking company, with reliable staff, to enable us to enjoy one of the remotest and most beautiful treks in the world. The extra rest days included in your itinerary allowed the leader to sit out the snowstorm and later to split a long day to the benefit of us all. All this in marked contrast to other groups trekking at the same time as us.

Absolutely magical trek
The trek was brilliant, Bhutan absolutely magical. I feel privileged and proud to have got around in one piece as it was the hardest sustained physical thing I have ever done.

Wonderful trip
This was a wonderful trip - very well organised and expertly run. The route to Bumthang was inspired - giving us a bit of extra challenge, hot springs and something a bit different to boast about.

Lived up to expectations
...the walk to TigerÕs Nest Monastery on our return to Paro was another highlight. It is the iconic sight of Bhutan for me and it lived up to expectations.
Bhutan on two wheels
We experience the wonders of Bhutan on two wheels and joined the celebrations at the Punakha Tsechu, one of BhutanÕs most impressive festivals.
Beyond our expectations
The choice of route and places visited and the organisation of the holiday was faultless. Bhutan lived up to expectations and beyond.
Chorten Path Trek
The trek leader was extremely generous of himself with a great knowledge of his country - the land and its politics and religion. He and all the staff on the trek were very well organised, the cook was fantastic and the food was delicious.
