Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
The route was very well planned and I particularly appreciated the train journey from Samarkand to Tashkent. This was very evocative of the silk route going across the huge expanse of deserted steppe and seeing the small isolated villages.
Fabulous remote countryside, friendly staff and local people, a good balance between challenge and fun.
The whole trip was great - thoroughly enjoyed - well organised and well lead! Excellent does not do a good enough description of the quality and variety of food we were given! Equipment standards were excellent and very comfortable. The trek leader was exceptional, was organised and knowledgeable. I had a great holiday and a great experience that will bring me back to Ladakh and Zanskar. Thank you everyone at Mountain Kingdoms.
Your expertise and knowledge of the country showed in the itinerary and dossier provided. Everything ran smoothly. You gave me a holiday which I will always remember. I embarked on it feeling that I was in safe hands.
Fantastic holiday - expectations from the brochure and pre-trek information were met, on the ground services in Nepal were good, always there, always on time. Lodges were fantastic with hugely friendly staff.
Lodges were fantastic with hugely friendly staff.
Overall the trip was excellent and lived up to our expectations. The boat trips were a highlight. Stopping off in the local villages, mixing with the local people and children was also very good.
Felt personal, friendly, both with MK and team in Pokhara. You really do get the best accommodation available, by the leader sending a runner - well done. Little touches such as the gingham bedsheet, the amazing warm fleecy sleeping bag liner (I never got cold), and the snacks carried throughout the trek.
Inclusive nature of holiday on trek with no need to worry about paying bills or having change. Attention to detail (bucket of water, towel and soap for handwashing which I've only seen on camping treks before). Supplementary fresh foods and map also included. Not having to fit sleeping bag into kitbag. Good interesting choice of route.
The thing I appreciated in you offering this trek is that you had the intention to do the complete trek and add quite a lot of extra days for bad weather etc. The other groups doing the trek were a lot more stressed to get things done.
Mountain Kingdoms' comment: Please note - this review was given on return from our Complete Lunana Snowman Trek itinerary. From 2018 we take a spectacular new route out of Lunana.
