Supportive crew
This was an opportunity to visit a remote area guided by locals who were happy to share their pride in their customs and way of life, which would not have been possible without their local knowledge. The porters were a cohesive group who improved everyone's spirits, especially with their singing. The food was excellent even in the most difficult conditions and something we all looked forward to.
Friendly locals
The trekking is relatively easy going and takes us through many small villages in the mid-hills of Nepal. As a consequence we gain a far greater insight into regular village life largely untouched by tourism and get to see how the majority of Nepali's live. Off-the-beaten-path, incredible landscapes, plenty of interaction with friendly locals, and lovely lodges. This is for anyone who wants to get under the skin of Nepal in a degree of comfort with a good balance of exploring on foot with time to relax and savour the surroundings.
A trip to remember
This tour gave a great insight into Vietnam, with beautiful food, culture and scenery it was a trip to remember. Ha Long Bay was a definite highlight for me, the crew were fantastic and always helpful. I was able to immerse myself in the peacefulness of Trang An and explore the treasures of Hanoi.
Rich and diverse itinerary
I am just back from yet another superb trip with MK. We had a fabulous time. The itinerary was rich and diverse providing us with a very broad experience of a large amount of the country without feeling rushed or pressurisedÉ A great trip all round.
Attention to detail was excellent
Prior to the trek the MK staff in the UK were always most helpful. The attention to detail was excellent. As a solo traveller I was confident that there would be nothing to worry about. The trek was well planned and well graded. Hotels well chosen and comfortable.
Annapurna Sanctuary - magnificent
Annapurna Sanctuary is a fantastic trek with memorably magnificent scenery.
Ama Dablam Base Camp
This was an excellent and well thought out itinerary. We particularly enjoyed the variety of walking and experiences gained. The scenery on the trek was both spectacular and varied. We were introduced into Nepalese culture, met with Nepalese families and shared an understanding of their religious beliefs. The kindness of the people we met will stay with us.
Finest mountain views
We had a view of the whole length of the Zemu Glacier which is one of the finest mountain views I have ever seen. Once again I run out of superlatives in describing the crew. Everyone of the 17 man crew were excellent.
Gem of a trek
This is a real gem of a trek.
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.
