Lingshi Laya Trek - Wonderful
Wonderful, we felt it gave a great picture of Bhutanese life, culture, flora and fauna and the people.
Fantastic holiday
Overall a fantastic holiday - good mix of trekking, scenery and culture. We were treated extremely well on trek - food, service - and not having to put up our own tents were all great!
Lingshi Laya Trek - Fascinating culture
Terrific location / fantastic scenery / fascinating culture particularly in Laya. Overall trip logistics in Bhutan were excellent. Group size of 10 was perfect.
Merak-Sakten Trek - another world
What an amazing insight into Bhutanese culture. The east of Bhutan is like another world.
Excellent
Overall, satisfaction excellent and well up to your usual trek standards.
Lingshi Laya Trek - Unforgettable
The trek was just absolutely brilliant. Everything from the country, to the trek, staff, support, back up, itinerary, food, everything, was faultless. The whole experience in Bhutan was unforgettable. Please pass on my thanks to all in the office for making the trip so special.
Splendid trip
...So may I say now that we were very well supported by Karma Tenzin, Lotay and their team (Dorji, Phub Tshering and Dophu) and, indeed, the horsemen from Dur. Cooperation throughout the trek was exemplary and created a very happy spirit for all concerned. The meals were terrific and Lotay's skill is remarkable, ensuring that supplies were used steadily throughout the trek and most supplies lasted to the final day... The whole experience seems to be 'thought through'; timings, logistics, acclimatisation, supplies, staffing all fit; most comforting. Best wishes and thanks for a splendid trip.
Ideal group size
The group was small enough to give an intimate view of Bhutan. Our guide and driver were excellent and the choice of areas to visit gave us an insight into both rural and town life in Bhutan. The stay in Gangtey valley was wonderful.
Lovely accommodation
The choice of local guide and driver added immensely to the overall holiday experience. In particular their ability to immerse us in local culture was outstanding. We liked the choice of hotels, particularly the more rustic ones, which reflected Bhutanese lifestyle and culture. In Kathmandu, Dwarika's was superb particularly the relaxing ambience and wonderful architecture.
Adventure of a lifetime
The holiday was wonderful - truly the adventure of a lifetime. Bhutan is a magical Shangri La, beautiful scenery, quite stunning views - almost a lost world. Everything was perfectly organised, Mountain Kingdoms is quite simply the best holiday company we have ever travelled with.
Memorable holiday
Your expertise and knowledge of the country showed in the itinerary and dossier provided. Everything ran smoothly. You gave me a holiday which I will always remember. I embarked on it feeling that I was in safe hands.
Exceeded all expectations
It exceeded all expectations, plus we had so much fun with our group. Terrific organisation right from the word go when our dossier arrived. Excellent day to day itinerary. Can't heap on enough praises and would recommend you to anyone interested.
Trip of a lifetime
I just wanted to say a big thank you for our Bhutan adventure. Truly a trip of a lifetime for all of us. I have really enjoyed looking at the photos and recounting all the tails to friends and family...All have been stunned by the scenery and the beauty of Bhutan.
Trouble-free
What I liked about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was that their client wellbeing is paramount, their long standing relationship with their local agents ensured a totally trouble free trip and the quality of hotels outside the trek. Thank you all for making the Gangkar Punsum trip such a memorably fantastic one. May our next adventures be so fortunate.
Well organised
Well organised tour. Friendly staff in office when discussing details of holiday, always get information as promised.
First class organisation
First class organisation and one felt very safe at all times. Excellent guides and fun everyday.
Friendly staff
Very organised tour, all local staff and hotel staff very friendly, MK office staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Magnificent scenery
Bhutan is a fascinating country; warm, friendly and undemanding people, magnificent scenery and cultural heritage coupled with a calm and relaxing ambience.
Highly recommend
The standard of arrangements and guiding I could not fault - we are looking to do another trip with you on the back of what we have experienced and will recommend you to friends.
Excellent trip leaders
Both leaders in Burma and Bhutan were excellent. In Burma in particular, the support of a good local guide was essential especially with visits to the various markets and workshops. In Bhutan, Temsing even arranged an archery morning for us which proved to be quite competitive!
