Hidden Valleys of Bhutan reviews

A wonderful holiday. It was a perfect blend of tour and trek, culture and countryside.

Jim Robertson, East Dunbartonshire

We had an extra two nights in Paro before the group arrived and right from our initial arrival when we were met by Kinley, the guide and Gen, the driver we felt we were in very capable hands and Kinley arranged our extra days perfectly to match our interests, he also adapted plans as necessary for the whole group to take account of capabilities and interests. The whole trip exceeded our expectations, the country itself is fascinating, beautiful and tourists are very welcomed and looked after.

I enjoyed the remoteness, scenery, stunning views of the mountains & visiting the many Dzongs.

Anon, East Sussex

A fantastic way to explore Bhutan. We got a real insight into Bhutanese life by staying in the homesteads and attending the local festival.

Angela Sycamore, Gloucestershire

It was very good to have the mix of sightseeing and trekking. Walking in the beautiful countryside was a nice counterbalance to the temples and Dzongs, and gave an insight to everyday rural life. Seeing the Black Necked Crane Festival was one of the highlights, as was the trek to the Tiger Nest Monastery. Staying in a homestay was interesting - definitely worthwhile and an opportunity to have a Hot Stone Bath. It's a wonderful country - lovely people, stunning countryside - but be prepared to come home tired. To make the most of the time there, you inevitably have to move from hotel to hotel and there's not much down time.

An excellent holiday full of variety and new experiences.

Philip Riley, Hampshire

The level of service received from Mountain Kingdoms was excellent, and I felt in safe hands. I enjoyed the freedom to visit a country that would otherwise be very difficult to reach without their expert support. Clearly Mountain Kingdoms has a unique depth of experience with regard to the Himalaya.

The itinerary was perfect for us, the right balance between sightseeing, walking, trekking and local insights. The response from the staff in the UK was outstanding, for which Niki Morgan deserves a lot of credit for her professionalism.

Ms A Whittaker, Dorset

Having always harboured a desire to travel to Bhutan, but lacking the confidence to face the bewildering set of rules required to enter and stay in the country, we used Mountain Kingdoms to arrange the trip for us. Travelling as a couple, we joined a group of eight. The whole experience, from first contacting Mountain Kingdoms to arriving back from the trip, was excellent. Mountain Kingdoms adapted to our relatively late addition to the tour and gave sound advice as we prepared to travel. In-country, the quality of the itinerary was excellent and the expertise of the guides was incredibly impressive. We were looked after well, and they made sure we got the absolute most out of our limited time.
