Holiday of a lifetime
Thank you for allowing me the holiday of a lifetime. The two weeks felt like a month and every day was a treasure. The Druk Path Trek is a wonderful experience and the walks beforehand and sightseeing afterwards were well organised, brilliant experiences. I felt very safe and well cared for throughout this exciting program.
Off-the-beaten-path
Being in a small group. Visiting the Haa Valley which seemed to be off the regular tourist circuit. My fellow travellers were delightful. Our local guide Karma and drive Sangay were both excellent and most helpful. I especially enjoyed our visit to the Haa Valley and would recommend that it become a regular feature of trips to Bhutan.
Excellent trip to Bhutan
It was an excellent trip... We really enjoyed the contact that he gave us with his family. We really enjoyed the Paro festival and the dzong.
Away from the crowds
Visiting the north of the island while it still has few tourists was a privilege and greatly interesting and enjoyable. It was an authentic experience and to be encouraged for anyone who is not afraid to go off the beaten track a bit.
Cycling to Chitwan was a highlight
It was a great experience to cycle around the Kathmandu valley rim. To reach the fascinating and historical site of Bhaktapur and the hill resorts of Nagarkot and Namo Buddha on two wheels felt very satisfying. Having a support vehicle to accompany you on the entire journey gave you that added peace of mind. Cycling to Chitwan and spending the day there spotting wildlife in a dugout canoe and on foot was a particular highlight.
Ethiopia is a fantastic country
We would just like to say what an adventure we had in Ethiopia, the trip was everything we could have asked for and more. The itinerary was superb and the days we spent in the Simiens was an ideal break between the historical sites. Ethiopia is a fantastic countryÉ Once again, many thanks for all your help in planning our holiday and we hope to travel with Mountain Kingdoms again in the future.
Exceptional guide
Nyi Nyi was an exceptional guide. His ability to communicate and engage with everyone we met along the way made the holiday very special. Very much enjoyed the walking aspect of the holiday. It was good to exercise as well as see the wonderful sights. Walking and meeting village people gave us a better insight into Myanmar and its people.
Amazing pagodas
The Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake itinerary couldn't fail to impress with the history, culture, scenery & amazing pagodas. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic & seemed to know everyone in Burma, so he would stop & chat & introduce us to all sorts of people along the way. He gave us an insight into the everyday life of the villagers that most tourists don't get the chance to experience.
Unique insight into Myanmar
What we enjoyed was the walking as well as sightseeing. An excellent and charismatic local guide who gave us a unique insight into the life of Myanmar's people.
Good choice of activities
Everything about the cruise was fantastic. Each day presented a new experience with a variety of activities on offer. Both guides were very good at explaining what would be happening and their insight into the islands and wildlife made each trip a worthwhile experience.
