Outstanding

Mr J Sellors, UK

This was my first experience of an adventure ‘holiday’ and I had no real expectations. I enjoy cycling but I’m not someone who dones their Lycra and ride 100miles every weekend. The trip was advertised as being suitable for all levels which was true, you could make it as hard as you wanted, always under the advice of our expert courier. The scenery was breathtaking, the people warm and friendly, accommodation was first class, support from the mountain kingdoms crew was second to none. It has inspired me to keep on travelling and seeing the world. I can’t thank you enough

This trek proved to be another enjoyable experience, in some ways exceeding expectations in that the standard of accommodation and food in the tea houses has improved compared with a previous occasion. We had the good fortune in that our sirdar was K.C. He was unfailingly upbeat and amusing even when the weather was a little unkind. His knowledge of vocabulary and idioms was amazing, a real treasure! The organisation of the whole trek, both before and during was exemplary, the scenery splendid and the Nepalese as welcoming as ever.

Great Countryside with wonderful Mountain Views. An unforgettable experience which I can Heartily recommend.

Mr C Williams, Gloucestershire

Cycling through Myanmar was a real treat. This trip showed us how varied and beautiful this country and its people are. Go now whilst it is still unaffected by Western customs.The trip was very well organised and executed with a superb local guide. Everything about this trip is stunning.

A relatively gentle but varied and adventurous exposure of this very different and charming country. "Unique" is a much used adjective, but Bhutan really does deserve the description from its flora, fauna, animal, and bird life. But perhaps the most striking difference is in its national outlook and pride - where else does almost everyone wear with pride their national costume everyday, or measure national and individual success in terms of happiness rather than material terms? And the scenery is breath-taking (as is the effect of the many high passes one crosses!)

Bhutan was an amazingly serene and peaceful destination. The trek was well paced and the scenery was magnificent.

Mr J Blight, Dorset

Great bike rides through a glorious landscape - punctuated with golden buddhist temples - fascinating village communities - and the artisan skills of the Inle Lake people. Our small group of 7 - all ages and cycling abilities - was well led by our guide Ney and his support teams. What a fascinating place! What delightful people!.

Barbara, West Midlands

This holiday fully lived up to its expectations. We had magnificent walking, magnificent views of Annapurna and Everest - and of course many other mountains - and it really was in style, with a fabulous hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and wonderful lodges on the two treks. The weather was fantastic (though I suppose that was not guaranteeable) - and the group of 11 people were extremely good company (that's not guaranteeable either of course).
