Immersed in the local culture

Enjoyed chance of meeting local people and personally preferred meals and teas in local venues rather than touristy ones.

Interesting sights and culture

This is one of the most enjoyable and interesting holidays I've ever had - due to the sights and the culture of the country (plus hotels of a very good standard & wonderful food) - but mainly the personality, knowledge and diplomacy of our guide made this trip exceptional.

Can't imagine anything nicer

I can't imagine anything nicer than cycling around the plains of Bagan, exploring little-visited temples.

Little-visited

It was in fact my father-in-law who told me about the sensational gorges north of Mandalay, and how he had read about them in Murray's Handbook of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon (16th edition, 1949). It describes the gorges as 'defiles' and says "The second defile is one of the great spectacles of the world". It is therefore very exciting to be able to offer this cruise, in some style, to parts of Burma that only few people have the privilege to visit.

Memorable experience

An excellent trip. We had extraordinary exposure to village life and remote people. We had an excellent and memorable experience.

Fantastic all-round

The itinerary, sights and even the chosen hotels were the highlights of the trip. Exploring Khiva, Bukhara and old Samarkand were really enjoyable days.

Will use Mountain Kingdoms again

This was my second holiday with Mountain Kingdoms and it won't be my last. Thanks to all involved.

Mr P, Lanarkshire

Incredible views!

The views from South Inylchek Base Camp are truly stupendous!

Fascinating

This trip packs in great deal of historic and scenic interest both in Beijing and out in the country. The walks on the Great Wall were surprisingly varied and it was fascinating to see China transforming, seemingly before our eyes. The extension to Xi'an was also excellent - we saw so much in just two days but didn't feel rushed.
