Excellent camping facilities
Wonderful trek in this 'little known' region. Overall, well organised. The trek had stunning scenery/interaction with local villagers/getting to know our porters and how they live. Excellent camping facilities.
Unforgettable time
I cannot praise enough the staff who made our holiday so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and it is an experience that neither of us will ever forget.
Excellent acclimatisation in the Sacred Valley
The mountain lodges were excellent and the guides, particularly for the trek, were fantastic. All food was of a very high standard and the staff everywhere were friendly and helpful. Everything was extremely well organised and we were taken care of superbly. The itinerary was perfect and the acclimatisation program in the Sacred Valley was an excellent idea. The balance between guided tours and free time was just right.... We couldn't have wished for a better holiday.
Reliable company
Everything organised brilliantly, great attention to detail. Would have total confidence in travelling again with Mountain Kingdoms.
The perfect adventure
If you want a short yet challenging trek, with fantastic views and exciting (but easily manageable) glacier crossings, then this is the perfect holiday. The two nights in remote mountain huts add to the sense of adventure.
Wild and spectacular location
The location was wild and spectacular. The trek was challenging at points but doable with a sense of achievement/purpose. The guide was really good, got a good understanding of the group and individual needs. He adapted and reacted sensibly and sensitively, good sense of humour.
Can't praise it enough
The itinerary was excellent. Each day we saw/visited amazing, unique places that made me stop in my tracks. Feel lucky to have been to Tibet, I can't praise it enough. I loved the hotels in Tibet; may not have been 5 star but had character and the staff were excellent.
Zambia safari
With Mountain Kingdoms we feel we are getting a different, better holiday experience to other tourists we came across during the trip.
Ladakh - beautiful country
Beautiful location, interesting walks, good small group. Our tailor made pre-trip extension was well organised and really enjoyable.
Excellent overall
Excellent trip overall. What I enjoyed: the company, like minded individuals, the leader.
Stunning walks
Really amazing holiday, exceeded expectations. Location of walks was stunning. Accommodation was excellent, quiet and in a lovely position. Food: wow. Leader was excellent. Good information and answering questions beforehand. Small group, not 'run of the mill'.
Incomparable scenery
The scenery and natural environment in general on Lofoten is almost incomparable in its beauty and peacefulness. The lodge we stayed in is ideal, allowing flexibility and great comfort. All the food provided was excellent.
A hidden gem
Just a big thank you to Mountain Kingdoms for organising our holiday which was absolutely fabulous.ÊThe islands are a hidden gem, on the last day the wall to wall sunshine made it feel like a mix of the Alps and the AegeanÉbut without lots of people, just sun, sea, snow-capped mountains and a view to die forÉ.what more could you want?Ê
More than lived up to expectations
I have fond memories of rock climbing in the Verdon Gorge when I was in my 20Õs. I remember belaying my climbing partner perched on a tiny ledge and looking down into the gorge below thinking Òmy God that looks nice down there, I must come back and walk through it one day.Ó It took 40 years to cure that small itch and I can tell you the trek more than lived up to expectationsÓ. Do it, because it really is fantastic.
Incredible views
The views were incredible and well worth the hike to the summits. Each summit being totally different and getting higher across the week, I felt a wonderful sense of achievement each time.
Pleasant walks
The walks were always very pleasant with ever varying scenery, taking us through picturesque villages, meadows carpeted with wild flowers, gorges with soaring limestone cliffs, and beech and fir forests. The history of the Cathars was fascinating and we got to explore many imposing castles including Peyrepertuse castle, which was the most impressive.
Welcoming culture
Vietnam has jumped to the top of my list of favourite destinations within Southeast Asia. The Vietnamese are warm and welcoming, the landscapes are stunning, and the walking is culturally diverse. I cannot wait to return to this incredible country.
Wonderful
A wonderful week of coastal walking, helped by great weather, good wine and rather a lot of ice cream! Real highlights for me were the guided walk on Capri, and exploring Naples - what an incredible, underrated city. Definitely a taste of La Dolce Vita.
Fascinating
I found Cappadocia truly fascinating. The landscape is so rich and diverse that at every turn I was greeted with a glorious view. A particular highlight was the walk up Bozdag Plateau, the uninterrupted views were amazing. The cave dwellings and churches from the Byzantine period were really impressive, as were the majestic fairy chimneys.
Exceptional service from Mountain Kingdoms
We have confidence in Mountain Kingdoms & feel in safe hands for planning the trip and in all our 7 holidays with you we have had very good service & know that the trek leader is very experienced & is able to cope with any situation that arises.
