The things I most enjoyed: A beautiful part of the world to walk. I never tired of the artwork on all the buildings, whether they were people's homes or amazing temples. The preserved heritage sites. The hotels were wonderful but i really preferred the couple of nights camping. Our visit to a homestay was very special. Bhutanese people were unfailingly charming and helpful. Our guide and driver were both first class.
A marvellous holiday. It gave us some insight into the history of Japan. It was interesting to see life in rural Japan. Tokyo is a vibrant city and Kyoto a more relaxed place. Our guide was delightful and very well informed. I would certainly recommend this trip.
We loved the 'wilderness' of the trek as at other points the area was very busy. Our guide and assistant guide were brilliant and did everything they could to make our trek enjoyable. The morning scenery was stunning but otherwise we were a bit unlucky with the weather, as it clouded over by lunch time quite often. Also we had snow at the pass which for me made the descent a bit tricky as the paths weren't visible (and it was pea-soup). Anyway we're in the mountains and its unpredictable. It was a vigorous trek, the first two days being all up hill. The descriptions were accurate and I would highly recommend this trek to anyone who appreciated the remoteness
The people and culture of Bhutan were truly inspirational, and the guide was able to explain Buddism very well. He took us to all sorts of places and that were not in the itinerary. Mountain Kingdoms Guides and Drivers were excellent, especially Karma, and they insured my safety and treatment when I contracted dysentery. The landscapes and views were wonderful.
I liked the holiday as I learned a lot about Armenia and its history. The guide for the trip was very knowledgable. The food was very tasty.
We had a truly exceptional guide - Lileete (spelling?). All the arrangements worked like clockwork. The accommodation and food were excellent .
The opportunity to explore and learn about a country we knew very little of. The guiding was excellent, the accommodation good, transport worked well. Scenery amazing. The walking was more demanding than we anticipated. We have no hesitation recommending this holiday to fit walkers.
A great country to visit and superb route.
There was great variety in the holiday - coast and mountains, walking and history/culture, even variety in the weather! Our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, good company and also adaptable to accommodate variations in the schedule to make the most of our time.
My first MK trip and it was fantastic! First class travel company and good value for money. We were a small group and I was travelling alone so slightly nervous about the dynamics but it all worked out well and the guide was amazing too. I’m already planning my next trip.
