Luxury Lodges to Ama Dablam Base Camp reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
We really don’t know what to say….what a fantastic adventure we have just had. The whole experience was beyond our expectations. We left the UK excited but a little apprehensive about what was in front of us. But we shouldn’t have been worried from the moment we were meet at the airport by Binod, our guide for the next 14 days everything was perfect. The accommodation throughout was fantastic. Dwarika’s was stunningly elegant, Everest Summit Lodges were far superior than we expected and what we saw of other lodges. We ate like KINGS..the food throughout was way above our expectations, plentiful, fresh and tasty. The scenery…the first 4 days were horrible, misty, foggy, damp, we didn’t see a mountain. Then the morning we woke in Namche everything changed, within two hours we were looking at Everest, the Top of the World WOW. The views for the next 7 days were surreal….nothing else to say about that, other than goosebumps!
We had an amazing holiday with a superb guide and amazing scenery . The food was very good and the accommodation comfortable. An excellent trip.
Fantastic trek. Well organised, We really enjoyed it, had a wonderful time, and we are already considering another one with Mountain Kingdoms.Very well organised trek, well staffed, and very well run. Trek was a good pace, but not forced. Lodges were of a superior quality to those we have used previously. Overall a very personal service.
The accommodation was extremely good as was the guide, assistant guide and porters
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.
Excellent trek, best in 20yrs of trekking. A really great guide and team.
Amazing holiday, it was everything I had hoped for. For starters the trip was well organised, it is important to have that level of trust in the company you are travelling with. In terms of the destination, amazing! The scenery was mind blowing, it was fantastic to be so close to the great mountains of the Khumbu region. Most people were heading to Everest Base camp but Ama Dablam is a beautiful mountain too! I felt this holiday was perfect for me as I suffer a lot form the cold. As the trail does not go as high as Everest base camp the temperatures are lower but lodges do offer a level of comfort that aids relaxation and aids recovery from the days exertion. I loved the small quiet side trails, off the main busy EBC trail. They were beautiful and quiet with less tourists.
Everest Summit Lodges were great in beautiful settings. The staff were super. The hot water bottles were invaluable. Our hotel in Kathmandu, Dwarika’s Hotel, was superb, and we were upgraded to a wonderful suite for our return stay. We cannot speak highly enough of our Sherpa ‘Prem’. He tailored the trek to our speed perfectly. He spoke very good English and was friendly, conscientious and hardworking.
Good arrangements. Excellent hotel in Kathmandu. Instructions were clear and concise and met expectations. Enjoyed having a small group on trek, well supported by leader and assistant throughout. Summit Lodges were comfortable and gave good recovery from daily trek.
Good successful trip, good weather, great views - so many mountains I have read about. Getting to Ama Dablam BC was special especially as five expeditions were there. Lots of birds and animals. The Summit Lodges were very comfortable and the staff excellent.
