Gentle Walking Bhutan reviews

Kingdom of Bhutan - a very special place
This was a comprehensive introduction to the very special kingdom of Bhutan. The scenery was fabulous, the people delightful and the entire programme well-packed, well-paced and well-executed by efficient and hard-working staff. Punakha tsechu was great but I also enjoyed all the gompas and especially the really ancient temples. A very special snap-shot in time, long may it last.
Highly recommend
I had a lovely time... Best travel company I have ever used...Great customer service, good itinerary, well chosen hotels, good leader and driver. Felt like things had really been thought through. Maximum group number of 12 is good too - we had 9 on our trip and it was a good number. I would highly recommend Mountain Kingdoms - I've travelled with a number of adventure tour operators and you are by far the best on a number of counts - customer service, quality of trip, value for money etc.
Adventure of a lifetime
The holiday was wonderful - truly the adventure of a lifetime. Bhutan is a magical Shangri La, beautiful scenery, quite stunning views - almost a lost world. Everything was perfectly organised, Mountain Kingdoms is quite simply the best holiday company we have ever travelled with.
Exceeded all expectations
It exceeded all expectations, plus we had so much fun with our group. Terrific organisation right from the word go when our dossier arrived. Excellent day to day itinerary. Can't heap on enough praises and would recommend you to anyone interested.
Memorable holiday
Your expertise and knowledge of the country showed in the itinerary and dossier provided. Everything ran smoothly. You gave me a holiday which I will always remember. I embarked on it feeling that I was in safe hands.
Lovely accommodation
The choice of local guide and driver added immensely to the overall holiday experience. In particular their ability to immerse us in local culture was outstanding. We liked the choice of hotels, particularly the more rustic ones, which reflected Bhutanese lifestyle and culture. In Kathmandu, Dwarika's was superb particularly the relaxing ambience and wonderful architecture.
Ideal group size
The group was small enough to give an intimate view of Bhutan. Our guide and driver were excellent and the choice of areas to visit gave us an insight into both rural and town life in Bhutan. The stay in Gangtey valley was wonderful.
