Druk Path Trek
Good organisation and plenty of pre-trip information. Our guide in Bhutan was endlessly polite and patient; the hotel staff were good. Twelve is a good number for a group.
Verdon Gorge trek
Very good organisation and choice of destinations.
Naar-Phu trek
Well-organised trip.
A trip of adventures and extremes in northern Vietnam!
A holiday of adventures and extremes - from the first adventure of the overnight train to the hills; the comparison of the varied ethnic minorities’ lifestyles; the contrast between the luxury (and peace and quiet) at Topas Ecolodge and on the Ha Long Bay cruise; the privilege of being a part of the remote home-stay family’s basic way of life; the delights of glimpsing Hanoi’s French colonial architecture; and the enjoyment of delicious Vietnamese cuisine. Congratulations, another great Mountain Kingdoms trip.
Myanmar exceeded all expectations.
A beautiful country and beautiful people. The trip was made particularly special by our tour guide Nyi Nyi who constantly went beyond the call of duty to ensure our trip was one that we shall never forget. What we enjoyed was the use of small, family-owned hotels and the knowledge of our excellent guides. Everything’s included (meals etc.). We liked the walks through the countryside and meeting local people.
Trekking in Vietnam
I enjoyed my holiday overall because of the wide variety of cultural experiences, areas visited, food, and Chin was a very knowledgeable guide. I was really impressed by the quality of the accommodation, food and friendliness of the ship’s crew in Ha Long Bay.
Reliable tour operator
Having travelled with your company many times we know we can rely on you to give us the best possible experience on our holidays.
Enjoyable trek in Burma
Overall a most enjoyable, exciting, different trek - loved Burma & its culture. Fantastic organisation - everything went to plan. We were always met by super people who made us feel welcome. Transport very good at all times. Hotels were excellent.
Excellent service
The staff in the Mountain Kingdoms office are always very helpful and approachable. Having travelled with Mountain Kingdoms a number of times in the past, I was confident that the advice and itinerary would be good. The local agents were very thorough and attentive and made sure that we were always well looked after.
Annapurna Base Camp trek
We had a tremendously enjoyable holiday and your hard work on the pre-trip extension paid off very well indeed. The trekking was great. The group gelled really well and the local sirdar and his team were brilliant. Dwarika’s Hotel was superb, and wonderful mountain scenery.
Magical holiday to Bhutan
Bhutan is a magical experience - it surpassed our expectations. Excellent organisation. Superb attention to detail. This is the third time I have travelled with Mountain Kingdoms and every time the trips have been excellent. Mountain Kingdoms are our first choice of company for this type of trip.
Gentle Walking Bhutan
Because the tour was so rich and varied I, for one, did not feel I had missed out on anything essential. I very much enjoyed the wonderful places we visited, the excellent local guide and drivers, the lovely people we met and the excellent company of the other participants.
Gentle Walking Nepal (formerly Mid Hills & Village Heartlands, Nepal)
Excellent guide - knowledgeable, pleasant manner and flexible. Good choice of accommodation.
Well-chosen accommodation
The itinerary was well put together, a good mix of sightseeing and walking in non-touristy rural areas. The lodges were well-chosen - I love especially the locations of Himalaya Height Resort and 3 Mountain Lodge - fabulous views! Our trip leader was wonderful, and the staff at the lodges were delightful.
Excellent holiday to Burma
An excellent introductory itinerary to Burma with a standard of accommodation and food higher than we had been anticipating when compared to western standards. Excellent local transport – our coach, boat & train. Particular praise for our outstanding Burmese travel guide. He was superb – his never failing ability to be positive, his behind scenes organisation & attention to detail were noted. Overall an excellent holiday – made such by Nyi Nyi.
Annapurna Foothills trek
What we enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the quality of organisation/logistics, good-quality lodges, group experience, quality of trek leaders & porters, and happy hour was excellent!
Three High Passes to Everest
From the beginning of my contact with the Mountain Kingdoms office to my return to the UK I cannot speak highly enough of the service I received. The support arrangements at Kathmandu were also faultless, from being met on arrival at the airport to our departure on the last day. In addition I was extremely impressed by the efficient, courteous and friendly service from all the hotel staff. We finished our trek with a great party with our guides and the unsung heroes, the porters, at out final tea house who laid on a special meal for us. What I enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the exceptional care that our guides took of us all, both on trek (always felt very safe, despite this being my first trek at high altitude) and when staying at the tea houses. Thanks for a great experience.
Relaxed holiday - everything arranged perfectly
Nyi Nyi, our guide, was truly exceptional & made the holiday! His English is extremely good, he is humourous, intuitive and made great efforts to tell us all about the history of Burma and its people, about which he is very informed. The itinerary was great too - we seemed to visit most of the Burma highlights and experience everyday life of its people on our travels and hiking.
Great trek and wonderful extension to India
I valued the certainty that most things would click into place. Everything did and for a solo traveller that was a comfort, thank you. My Indian extension was wonderful! The company which you had engaged to put this in place did a first class job. Every representative found me and my guide for the Taj Mahal Amit Udaphyay was a great companion.
Truly amazing!
This trip was a truly inspiring and memorable experience encompassing beautiful scenery, wonderful cuisine and fascinating culture. The warmth and friendliness of the local people together with unforgettable historical sights has left me with long-lasting memories.
