Excellent varied itinerary, well planned. The accommodations was of a very good standard and I particularly enjoyed staying at the small eco lodges.
This was a wonderful trip to a beautiful part of India. All the accommodation was of a very high standard and the various local guides in each place we visited were really excellent - very knowledgeable, good English and friendly. We enjoyed the walks which were not too strenuous and there was often the added excitement of would we see a tiger or an elephant along the way! We did see a beautiful elderly elephant calmly foraging for her food, and evidence of tigers, leopards and wild dogs having passed by our path even though we didn’t see them in person. The many included meals were much appreciated and delicious. Our driver was very organised and helpful and drove us safely at all times. The trip is very highly recommended. We will definitely use Mountain Kingdoms again.
A wonderful two week tour of Sri Lanka, where the gentle walking gave us an insight into day to day living.
We saw an amazing array of animals, including gorillas, lions, chimpanzees, elephants, hippos, rhinos and some beautiful birds. Everything was very well organised, the accommodation was of a good standard along with the food. Our guides, Jurius and Hamid, were very knowledgeable and cared about our welfare. The only downside was the unpaved roads which after a few hours was rather uncomfortable. We had an incredible experience which I can totally recommend
Trekking the Pekoe trail was awesome. Amazing views, challenging terrain and great walks through tea plantations.
The opportunity to visit some of the less well known parts of Sri Lanka and enjoy the wonderful scenery of the highlands.
Cambodia is extremely varied and interesting. This tour included cities, forests, rivers, jungle, beach resorts and several temples each with distinctive character. The Cambodian people were warm and friendly. Hotel and camp accommodation were generally very good quality. Food likewise. In some of the more rural/remote locations standards were unavoidably a little lower. We always felt safe throughout.
The trip was excellent, I really enjoyed it. We saw the wide variety of landscapes that Costa Rica offers and, as I hoped, lots of birds and wildlife. We saw or heard well over 100 different species of birds, plus wildlife such sloths, iguanas, 3 types of monkey, snakes, a crocodile, a Caiman and lots of other animals. Our guide, Rey, was fantastic - so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country - we learned so much more than we could have on a self-guided holiday.
An excellent trek with stunning views, varied scenery and well-paced itinerary, giving extra time at the base camps to enjoy the mountain views and acclimatise to the altitude. The guides were very attentive and looked after us all day, ordering meals and drinks, as well as leading us on the route and informing us about the local customs and terrain.
Rich and varied schedule with a very knowledgeable local guide. Amazing wild life to see and photograph. Very comfortable and spacious hotel rooms with good choice of food.
