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.
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.
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 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.
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.
A wonderful trip
This trip was extremely well organised and all the travel arrangements etc worked perfectly. Aya was a very good guide giving us loads of insights into local culture and making requested amendments to the itinerary (we only asked for a few small ones!) with conscientiousness and good humour. The group size was ideal and everybody was very friendly and helpful to each other. Overall this was a wonderful trip in so many ways and I shall never forget it. Japan is such a beautiful and exciting country - made extra special by weather to die for, almost continuous wall to wall blue skies and warm sunshine every day but one!
Abc in style
It was an adventure. We did not expect so much snow and ice and felt a bit unequipped. Leader and porters were brilliant. Tea houses would have been so much better with a heater in the dining room, and hot showers were in very short supply even at someofthe lodges. In style was mostly the hotels
Annapurna in Style
Excellent
Amazing experience going to Annapurna Sanctuary (Nov 2018)
Our holiday was one of those experiences that we will not forget and we made friends that we have have stayed in touch with after our return. We had unseasonal snow that made the trek more challenging and added an element of risk. The guides and porters were superb and nothing was too much trouble. The tea houses were more basic than we expected and the food was OK. It was great coming back to Dwarika's at the end for a touch of luxury. We added the Bhutan extension which was absolutely superb. The scenery and monuments were superb and we had a great guide. A very good addition to the ABC in style.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Three Peaks of the Balkans
The trekking was wonderful and the route fantastic with spectacular scenery.
The trek itself was truly spectacular and I loved every step
Felt totally looked after from the moment we stepped off the plane til the moment we were dropped off back at the airport. Everyone we came into contact with really cared about our comfort and safety. The quality of the lodges ,staff ,food, comfort was beyond my expectations. To cap it all the first night and last two nights at the Dwarika's hotel were perfect. The whole experience was joyful , beautiful and special.
Overall, this was a most enjoyable trip
All of the accommodation was of high quality. The trip was in three parts. The middle main part of the trip in Chilean and Argentinean Patagonia was flawless with six stunning day hikes and other events. The trip guide leader for the this main part, Kendra was exceptionally competent. The food and service at the Eco Camp was of a very high standard.
Manaslu Circuit
Your trips are always very well organised and the staff in Kathmandu are always very attentive and helpful. As with this kind of travel, all concerned while on trek need to show flexibility, and the guides and porters were only too willing to make the trek a wonderful experience.
It was a great trip
It exceeded our expectations because of the knowledge of the Tour Guide. The hike was a journey during which we learned so much about the Nepalese culture, people, foods, plants, animals, etc. I am glad we did this trip, the Luxury Lodges were amazing and such a bonus compared to what other places people had to stay in.
Seeing the majestic and unforgetable Canadian Rockies
Having a fantastic guide in Claude Deschamps who cleverly tweaked our walking itinerary when we found ourselves in the middle if the coldest September weather in Alberta for 60 years! We enjoyed the snow which only enhanced the beauty of our surroundings. We also very much enjoyed the "gin club" and the cosy evening meals in the Pine Bungalows at Jasper cooked by Claude. This bonded our group of 11 really well.
Gentle Walking Canadian Rockies
Claude worked really hard to give us a good experience of Canada. He organised our accommodation, transport and food really well. He cooked, drove us everywhere, planned our walks. He was always cheerful and pleasant and fun to be with. Claude is very knowledgeable about the area. Because of the weather, he had to organise alternative routes for us to walk and did this without any difficulty. We have travelled with MK before and have always been impressed with the quality of the in-country staff.
