Mountains, monasteries and magical memories
This was my first recce trip and it didn’t disappoint. Bulgaria has so much to offer the keen traveller, I feel like I have only just scratched the surface. Its rich history was so interesting to learn about and interspersed with exciting mountain walking, this trip really is a great way to discover this emerging Balkan nation.
Picturesque Adventure
Thoroughly enjoyable trip. Picturesque scenery. Was an adventure. Definitely a place to visit now, before everyone visits in a few years time.
Cordillera Traverse - lakes, mountains and glaciers at every new ridge!
A remote, stunningly beautiful trek at altitude in untrodden mountain scenery. Jose and Raimundo were superb guides and the standard of food on trek was excellent. This is a tough trek but very rewarding - be prepared for adventure and the chance to climb Pico Austria at 5,396m/17,698 ft
Arctic Highlights
A wonderful adventure and experience which far exceeded our already high expectations. The expedition leader, ships captain and all the support staff were excellent, very professional, knowledgable and caring. An excellent itinerary which had the right balance of activities including zodiac cruises, walks or hikes over the tundra, wildlife watching and informative lectures. Highlights were seeing seven polar bears, numerous walruses, Wales and seals, arctic fox and hare, lots of sea birds and the Aurora Borealis.
Trekking Svaneti Region, Georgia - Fascinating
Georgia is a fascinating country, set right on the outer edges of Europe, and within Georgia itself, the Svaneti region is extremely remote. The journey there is well worth the effort, as you trek through magical countryside, home of myths and legends, soaring stone watchtowers and stunning mountains and glaciers. There are hillsides covered in wild flowers, sparkling mountain streams and plenty of delicious wine!
Private Departure - The Balkans Peace Trail and some sight seeing
A wonderful experience in most beautiful countryside, with great hospitality from all the local people. But should not be taken on unless reasonably fit, many of the paths being quite rough.
Breathtaking Argentine Patagonia
Argentine Patagonia was a sublime combination of breathtaking landscapes, varied walking, exceptional accommodation and the most delicious food and wine. The best of all was estancia Cristina indulgent accommodation in a truly wild and unspoilt landscape.
Amazing trip
This is a really fascinating holiday due to the sights and the culture of the country, plus the wonderful food and the lovely Cambodian people.
Reunion Island
Before Reunion I had no idea that you could get an adrenaline rush just from walking up a hill – it’s safe to say that the island made me fall in love with hiking! It is truly an adventure island, and I will treasure the memories I made there for the rest of my life. There were times when the views were so awe-inspiring that I had goose bumps and my eyes filled with tears – dramatic I know, but such is the nature of the landscapes there. The trekking was at times hard, but you know that you will always be rewarded with a phenomenal feat of nature at the end. Go and discover the intense island – now!
Fantastic choice of walks and outstanding scenery
MK have provided the opportunity for us to explore mountainous area of the world which we could not have done without their support.
