Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
All the arrangements went well. Good choice of hotels with some local characteristics.
I really enjoyed the whole experience of cycling, seeing the country and the sights, and learning about Bhutan from our guide who was very informative. I enjoyed going to a country which is still off-the-beaten-track and seeing its culture and how it is developing.
Good group, well protected. A patient, friendly local leader, very reliable. We were very pleased to find that Mountain Kingdoms has a fine reputation there, everyone spoke highly of Mountain Kingdoms. The country has massive potential for tourism. Some very good close contact with Ethiopian people and culture, e.g. the Tej-house in Lalibela; coffee ceremony in village.
From start to finish everything was superb. All hotels were varied and of a high standard; food arrangements excellent and walking was in wonderful woodland areas as well as through villages off-the-beaten-track. Delhi, Agra, Jaipur extension was extremely well-organised. All staff helpful & informative and top quality hotels. What really made this special for us was the driver - Bachan Singh who many times went out of his way to give us extra time and additional surprising temples etc. The group of eight like-minded people was just right. Thank you again for a wonderful adventure.
Wonderful trek in this 'little known' region. Overall, well organised. The trek had stunning scenery/interaction with local villagers/getting to know our porters and how they live. Excellent camping facilities.
I cannot praise enough the staff who made our holiday so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and it is an experience that neither of us will ever forget.
The mountain lodges were excellent and the guides, particularly for the trek, were fantastic. All food was of a very high standard and the staff everywhere were friendly and helpful. Everything was extremely well organised and we were taken care of superbly. The itinerary was perfect and the acclimatisation program in the Sacred Valley was an excellent idea. The balance between guided tours and free time was just right.... We couldn't have wished for a better holiday.
Everything organised brilliantly, great attention to detail. Would have total confidence in travelling again with Mountain Kingdoms.
If you want a short yet challenging trek, with fantastic views and exciting (but easily manageable) glacier crossings, then this is the perfect holiday. The two nights in remote mountain huts add to the sense of adventure.
The location was wild and spectacular. The trek was challenging at points but doable with a sense of achievement/purpose. The guide was really good, got a good understanding of the group and individual needs. He adapted and reacted sensibly and sensitively, good sense of humour.
