Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
A well planned adventure in a lovely country. Very high quality transport. I even got to meet the king! Everything seemed to have been thought of.
Excellent organisation. Our leader Mani was an interesting guide with tremendous knowledge of local customs, flora and fauna. During the trip I wasn't feeling very well and the leader was very supportive. All staff we had contact with in Nepal were most helpful.
We value the slick organisation of a Mountain Kingdoms holiday. Transfers, transport and provisions were all excellent. This was our 4th Mountain Kingdoms holiday and lived up to expectations. The Brahmaputra river cruise exceeded expectations. Excellent food, accommodation and service.
What we enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was everything - from the start being met at the airport, all the transfers went smoothly. The team in Kathmandu and Lukla were excellent. We could not have had any better guides, Chundi and Choomba were brilliant. Knowledgeable and informative, supportive and encouraging when needed. In the evenings they joined in the card games - they really made the holiday. The porters although their English was limited, had a great sense of humour and looked after us brilliantly. The tea houses were good, obviously some a lot better than others, but all were clean and the food was good. A truly memorable trek, the weather was fabulous, the scenery stunning and we even had snow and found snow leopard tracks!
It was our first trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The arrangements were all good and we were well looked after. The mix of the holiday was excellent: cultural, trekking and wildlife. We loved the Everest flight add-on. It was good being part of a small group. Also good to be able to bolt on an extension (Chitwan). Two nights at Dwarika's at the end was inspired as well (an experience in itself).
I enjoyed everything, I don't know how you did it for the money. The hotels were stunning. The transport, guides, hotels, boats, bikes, restaurants used were all excellent.
A fantastic and memorable experience which exceeded all my expectations, superbly organised with excellent guides and drivers. A holiday of a lifetime, thank you all so very much.
The trip was well organised.
What we enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the small group, excellent guide, good food & accommodation.
As ever the trip was very well planned and researched. The balance between trekking and culture was excellent. The opportunity to stay in traditional Japanese inns and the food they provided was a highlight. Our guide, Yumi, was exceptional. She combined trek leading with information about Japanese history and culture superbly - from past experience we know this is a very difficult balance. In addition her organisation and people management were first class, in sometimes difficult circumstances and always with charm and a smile.
