Cycling Tour Bhutan - wonderful experience
Travelling by bicycle in Bhutan was a wonderful experience: the exhilaration of navigating through major road works, to being able to visit Gasa and have a homestay with the Governor of Gasa Province, to the trip to Ugyen Choling.
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.
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.
True wilderness experience
I loved the remoteness of this trip; it felt like a true wilderness experience, and following in a snow leopard's snowy footsteps up to the Ghami La pass was exceptionally memorable.
Lovely guesthouses
I loved staying in traditional guesthouses along the way, their home grown food was delicious.
Knowledgeable guide
Our guide knew everyone in the Markha Valley and was extremely knowledgeable about the culture, flora and fauna.
Outstanding guide
Our guide was outstanding - the best we have had - his knowledge of the culture and wildlife was unrivalled.
Lovely
Montenegro deserves to be discovered by some more MK travellers it's such a lovely place!! And the beer's good!
Amazingly varied
This state has it all, from the highest and lowest points in Continental USA through to some of the lushest and driest places on the planet.
Incredible views
I love the south west of America, it's hard to comprehend the sheer scale of this area - it has incredible views and vast open skies that seem to go on forever.
Incredible experience
It is hard to pick a single highlight for this trip as there are so many, but I would have to say that riding along the Northern rim of the Grand Canyon with not another soul in sight was an incredible experience that I'll never forget.
A first class trip - Mustang trek
A first class trip led by an excellent local guide... we had an audience with the King of Lo, visited three schools and had lots of interaction with the people of Lo Manthang. Superb scenery together with unique people making a fantastic experience.
Highly recommend
I had a lovely time... Best travel company I have ever used...Great customer service, good itinerary, well chosen hotels, good leader and driver. Felt like things had really been thought through. Maximum group number of 12 is good too - we had 9 on our trip and it was a good number. I would highly recommend Mountain Kingdoms - I've travelled with a number of adventure tour operators and you are by far the best on a number of counts - customer service, quality of trip, value for money etc.
Great trekking team
The trekking team were absolutely great, the food on the trek was very good, varied and the team were really helpful in every respect, with Pemba taking great care to manage expectations. Overall we enjoyed the walking and the mountain experience as we are well used to winter walking conditions.
Everest Base Camp
I really cannot find fault with any aspect of this trip. The entire program was just fantastic, making for a very memorable holiday. I will certainly travel with Mountain Kingdoms again. I enjoyed the whole experience, but in particular: small group size, good acclimatisation program, having all food on trek included so I didn't need to worry about money on trek, good lodges and hotels - much appreciated at end of the trek especially.
Simply wonderful
The trip to EBC was simply wonderful. We were in very good hands with our guide Jigme. He did everything thinkable to make this trip the experience of a lifetime. Staying in the lodges certainly makes a difference at the end of a trekking day and is well worth paying a little extra. I would recommend it to everyone who comes to visit the Khumbu region.
Off-the-beaten-track Bhutan
For me, cycling is a fantastic way to see the country, get off the beaten track and have the opportunity to interact with some of the people that you meet on the way. The other tourists are welcome to their air conditioned vehicles - I will keep on pedalling!
Lived up to expectations
...the walk to TigerÕs Nest Monastery on our return to Paro was another highlight. It is the iconic sight of Bhutan for me and it lived up to expectations.
Well-organised
We very much enjoyed the whole Mountain Kingdoms experience and thought it was extremely well organised and an amazing opportunity.
