We had a very memorable adventure with experiences we will remember for along time!
A marvellous trek, the accommodation and food are excellent and we had a truly wonderful holiday. I would advise people to prepare themselves for a day of climbing stone steps on the route to Gandruk and then treat yourself to a foot massage (offered at the lodge) once you get there!
An enjoyable trip to see the cultural highlights of Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet. A little bit of trekking involved in Bhutan but well worth it to see the Tigers Nest Monastery. All the guides and drivers were helpful, knowledgeable and spoke good English. The hotels were comfortable and we enjoyed a lot of traditional food as most meals were included. Each country is predominantly Buddhist but this is interpreted differently depending on the country, so it was a fascinating insight into the slightly confusing world of Buddha (or Buddhas as I learnt there are more than one!).
My second trip with MK went well. I made new friends and had a great time with them. Particularly, our great guide, one of the nicest guys I’ve met in Nepal so far. Kind and humble, but with a huge amount of experience. He’d been over all the passes at least 20 times. We trusted his advice and all felt safe with him. Also,special thanks to MK's flight manager, April for changing the Jet flights to Oman Air. That was fantastic, and I was very pleased to get home without any delays.
The staff were always very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Everything was so well organised down to the last detail. Most of the hotels were fantastic with either lovely gardens and/ or stunning views of the Himalayas.We liked the fact that we didn't have to worry about anything and therefore just enjoy the trip. Everything including the mini buses were very comfortable and the food was very good. Both guides looked after us extremely well. Both were very professional, always on time and able to answer any questions we put to them.
Being able to travel to Nepal and Bhutan without a worry as everything was arranged so efficiently. Tour leaders were excellent and listened to us if we wanted to do other things than the ones planned. I would definitely book with you again.I was very impressed by the efficiency of all the staff involved in organising and leading my trip. Well done Mountain Kingdoms.
I enjoyed the Mountain Kingdoms philosophy of using less crowded routes and supporting local enterprise and culture.
Generally excellent. As with all group walking holidays they are going to attract walkers of differing abilities. The more detailed information/ grading of walks that can be provided would be most helpful to all.
Fantastic experience with Mountain Kingdoms! We had a party of 4, all of whom summitted Mera Peak on 11 April 2019. We had an excellent guide and team looking after us, changes to the itinerary and route that were made necessary due to heavy snowfall were dealt with smoothly and professionally. A good overview of our acclimatisation progress was kept by our guide, to gauge our readiness for the summit attempt. We were provided good food, snacks and hot drinks, even on the trail. The support of the local organisation was superb and we all thoroughly enjoyed our trip.
