Langtang Valley Private Trek
This was a very well organised trek with everything running smoothly. We had excellent guiding from Durga, good pace-setting by Lapa. Durga's timings were very well chosen so that we avoided bad weather in the afternoons. Tea house accommodation was satisfactory, food was very wholesome and people were extremely friendly throughout the trip. The Langang Valley has a huge variety of ecosystems with loads of plant, animal and bird life. Durga's knowledge of these was hugely helpful.
Private trek in Langtang Valley
Adventurous walking, attractive pine and rhododendron forests and marvellous Himalayan panoramic views. Also an interesting stay in good quality accommodation in the fascinating city of Kathmandu.
A multi-mix delight
Our multi mix trip of trekking and sight seeing to Nepal and Bhutan was a delight. The itinerary well put together with trekking and altitude gradually getting more difficult as we approached the finale of an amazing and challenging day hiking 500 metres above Tigers Nest Monastery. The scenery in Kathmandu Valley and then Bhutan was breath taking. Much to wonder about the culture of both countries. Guides and hotel accommodation first class,
Fantastic private Mustang trek
Spectacular scenery in Mustang. The region is so remote and beautiful with few other tourists/trekkers. Thank you Mountain Kingdoms for organising this fantastic trip for us.
Everything was a highlight on our private holiday in Bhutan
It's hard to pick out highlights. The whole experience was unforgettable, a once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Our guide and driver were exemplary. The landscapes were amazing. The initial treks were very challenging but prepared us well for the final descent to the Tiger's Nest Monastery. The decision to stay in 2 homestays was the right one, as we relished the opportunity to meet families, eat with them, and I spent a very happy evening chatting to 2 children, hearing about a 12 yr old's ambitions.
Great cycling in Bhutan
Great cycling, wonderful scenery, and an amazing experience. The team looking after us could not have been more helpful. They were fun and easy to be with and anticipated our needs.
Well taken care of throughout
The scenery, culture and people were amazing! Breathtaking mountain views were everywhere. Each day of trekking was well planned out, striking the right balance between new experience, acclimatization and physical challenge. The lodges were very nice with excellent service and food. At the higher altitude villages, the accommodates became more basic as expected, but we were well taken care of throughout. And we could not have asked for a better guide and assistants.
Superb organisation in Bhutan
The organisation or our private holiday was superb. Usually, we are fierce independent travellers but Bhutan does not cater to this. We were able to set our start time in the morning a little later to accommodate everyone's sleeping needs and our wonderful guide rescheduled the last few days of the trip so as to avoid a very long potential 7-8 hour drive back to Paro on windy mountainous roads. We split this return journey over 2 days and the re booking of hotels etc. was done seamlessly.
A memorable family adventure
Our first trip to Nepal and exceeded all our expectations. A memorable family adventure with stunning scenery, good company and excellent guides and porters. Thoroughly recommend the trek for the mountains, cultural experiences and a challenge.
Overall, a brilliant experience.
An excellent, well organised and varied tour. The hotels exceeded expectations with helpful staff and well equipped, comfortable bedrooms. All meals were well presented and of a high standard. Our guide was very knowledgeable and efficient and the driver competent throughout the mountain roads: 'a safe pair of hands'. Some walks were quite challenging and a degree of fitness should be recommended. Overall, a brilliant experience.
