Gentle Walking Nepal reviews

Fantastic private trip to the Annapurnas
An absolutely fantastic holiday - combining trekking in the Annapurna valley with Chitwan National Park was a brilliant blend. It felt like the trip lasted forever, and we came back well exercised whilst completely relaxed. We would recommend Mountain Kingdoms without hesitation.
A superb experience!
Having visited Nepal on a number of occasions before, I wanted to get off the usual trails to get a flavour of how the people lived in villages less visited by tourists and this holiday more than fitted the bill. I was also interested in learning more about Hindu and Buddhist culture and again the itinerary provided well for that. The accomodation was first class as were the knowledge and friendliness of the guides and porters. A superb experience!
Well designed itinerary
The itinerary was really well designed with several centres throughout Nepal and a mixture of culture and walking.
Gentle Walking Nepal (formerly Mid Hills & Village Heartlands)
We loved the contact with the villagers - it was a real education and insight. The lodges and their locations were well chosen - both peaceful, comfortable and interesting.
Gentle Walking Nepal (formerly Mid Hills & Village Heartlands, Nepal)
Excellent guide - knowledgeable, pleasant manner and flexible. Good choice of accommodation.
Well-chosen accommodation
The itinerary was well put together, a good mix of sightseeing and walking in non-touristy rural areas. The lodges were well-chosen - I love especially the locations of Himalaya Height Resort and 3 Mountain Lodge - fabulous views! Our trip leader was wonderful, and the staff at the lodges were delightful.
Gentle Walking Nepal (formerly Mid Hills & Village Heartlands)
We like the mix of sightseeing and walking and also the small groups.
Friendly locals
The trekking is relatively easy going and takes us through many small villages in the mid-hills of Nepal. As a consequence we gain a far greater insight into regular village life largely untouched by tourism and get to see how the majority of Nepali's live. Off-the-beaten-path, incredible landscapes, plenty of interaction with friendly locals, and lovely lodges. This is for anyone who wants to get under the skin of Nepal in a degree of comfort with a good balance of exploring on foot with time to relax and savour the surroundings.
