Outstanding food on trek
We had a competent and knowledgeable guide whom I could trust, particularly on the trek. The trek food was outstanding.
Druk Path Trek - Bhutan
I enjoyed the whole experience, the detailed knowledge of the guide and his enthusiasm.
Bhutan is Fabulous
Everything went smoothly on the trip as far as we were concerned. The trip leader dealt very well with different walking abilities and different approaches to trekking - some wanting to race and others wanting to walk slowly to appreciate the fabulous scenery. A delay of several hours to the flight from Paro to Kathmandu was turned into an advantage by the trip leader who organised a visit to a wonderful local Dzong under restoration and a weaving shop. Bhutan is fabulous. We cannot imagine anyone not wanting to return.
Druk Path Trek
This trip is about at my limit of endurance/fitness. Nevertheless I enjoyed it very much and have some amazing photographs as a result. The quality of information from MK is very good. There was also quality in the hotels we used, and the staff were excellent. I would particularly like to thank the team supporting us on the trek as they did a magnificent job in managed the very different levels of fitness / walking speeds in the group.
We loved our time exploring mysterious eastern Bhutan.
The beautiful unspoilt valleys are home to unspoilt cultural treasures, there is a tale or legend to be told in every village, and best of all, we had it all to ourselves! Go now, before Lonely Planet make it a must visit destination!
Xmas Holiday in Himalayas
An amazing trip!!! MK took care of all the logistics, provided us an amazing hotel stay, and we were on our way to our trek. We were fortunate to have on of the most amazing guides, Kami T Sherpa, who made us feel very welcome and was always quick to provide us with anything we needed to make us feel comfortable during the trek. He was such a positive, and happy person. Travelling with him was a joy! Thank you MK for an amazing holiday.
An excellent trip that exceeded my expectations.
Spectacular scenery and architecture experienced under a cloudless sky. Reaching Taktsang Monastery was the highlight of my time in Bhutan. Excellent customer service from all concerned. Would have no hesitation in recommending Mountain Kingdoms.
Gentle Walking Sri Lanka
The timing and itinerary of the holiday met our requirements and were main reasons for making the booking with MK. Could not fault any of the services provided by MK.
We absolutely loved this trip.
It was our first time in Southern India having been to Northern and Central many times. The itinerary was varied and took in the very best of what was on offer in Kerala. We have travelled with you many times before and have come to expect the best. We were not disappointed.
Gentle Walking Kerala
This was my first Mountain Kingdoms holiday and I was very impressed. The accommodation and activities were excellent and I very much enjoyed them. Our local guide Ganesh was superb and went to great lengths to ensure that we all enjoyed ourself.
Gentle Walking Kerala
This is our fourth trip with Mountain Kingdoms and all have been excellent.They are well planned and the local arrangements and guides have all been excellent quality.The accommodation and transport are all good.
We had an absolutely fantastic time
Both Altezza and the safari company were very professional and gave us wonderful service. The guides and porters were a pleasure to be with and gave us good insight of life in Tanzania as well as detailed info about Kili. Thank you Steve and Mountain Kingdoms for organising the trip for us, it all ran very smoothly. A very well organised trip. We loved the small group, three of us plus one other, we got on well and moved at a similar pace.
A wild adventure!
The Tien Shan (the Mountains of Heaven or the Heavenly Mountains) are without doubt one of the most beautiful mountain ranges I have trekked within. At lower altitudes the mountain views are incredible; steep valley slopes are decorated with lush green grass and dense fir trees; glacier melt water flows at speed through picture-perfect valleys and evidence of working nomadic life is all around. At higher altitudes, and in particular on the South Inylchek Glacier, the snow-capped peaks of the Tien Shan Mountains are scenes I will never forget. The journey up the glacier is indeed 'a journey' and a chance to absorb, experience and understand the pure power and meaning of an impressive glacier life cycle. This adventure is one I will always cherish.
Unforgettable trip to a very remote region: this is real Nepal
As my second trip to Nepal after Everest Base Camp, I must say it has been an incredibile adventure. This trek takes you to a very remote region, with very different landscapes (from tropical rainforests to dramatic Himalayan peaks), passing through low-populated valleys where people are friendly and genuine. Be prepared to long days with many ascents and descents. The rote to the Base Camps is blessed with incredibile autumn colours in Oct-Nov. Kangchenjunga is well hidden behind a court of incredibile rocky walls towering 7.000 mt (Chang Himal face is amazing and very close, when you walk on the edge of the glacier). Our guide Raj, the 2 sirdars and the cook were very attentive, and all the porters did a great and tough job. Finally, MK was very good in solving the logistic difficulties related to the remoteness of the region. Definitely recommended if you want to experience remote far Eastern Nepal.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Bhutan, December 2018
A truly amazing experience. A well- paced itinerary, an excellent guide and driver, who enabled us to get a real feel of the country, its culture, traditions and people.
Druk Path Trek
Logistics brilliant for a large camping trek involving animals in very remote area. Great combination of remote trekking and sightseeing. Very good sirdar. Also group seemed to bond well so whole trip was a lot of fun and made some good friends.
Hidden Valleys of Bhutan
It was well organised and all the stress was taken out of the holiday. The guide leader was probably the best guide we have ever had.
Complete Patagonia - Paine & Fitz Roy
Stunning scenery; varied and well paced walks interspersed with excellent sight seeing days; attentive and well informed guides; good accommodation; lots of laughs with a great group.
Wild dogs on foot
A really satisfying active safari in a stunning location. I loved walking from camp to camp and we encountered some impressive wildlife including the painted wolf pack filmed for David Attenborough's Dynasties series.
The trip was well thought out and organised
The different places we visited provided a good introduction to Japan. We especially liked travelling by public transport, (not by road in a coach or minibus), staying in the minshuku and ryokan, and the meals provided there. It was our first visit to Japan and we would like to go again.
