Ladakh - beautiful country
Beautiful location, interesting walks, good small group. Our tailor made pre-trip extension was well organised and really enjoyable.
Excellent overall
Excellent trip overall. What I enjoyed: the company, like minded individuals, the leader.
Stunning walks
Really amazing holiday, exceeded expectations. Location of walks was stunning. Accommodation was excellent, quiet and in a lovely position. Food: wow. Leader was excellent. Good information and answering questions beforehand. Small group, not 'run of the mill'.
Incomparable scenery
The scenery and natural environment in general on Lofoten is almost incomparable in its beauty and peacefulness. The lodge we stayed in is ideal, allowing flexibility and great comfort. All the food provided was excellent.
A hidden gem
Just a big thank you to Mountain Kingdoms for organising our holiday which was absolutely fabulous.ÊThe islands are a hidden gem, on the last day the wall to wall sunshine made it feel like a mix of the Alps and the AegeanÉbut without lots of people, just sun, sea, snow-capped mountains and a view to die forÉ.what more could you want?Ê
More than lived up to expectations
I have fond memories of rock climbing in the Verdon Gorge when I was in my 20Õs. I remember belaying my climbing partner perched on a tiny ledge and looking down into the gorge below thinking Òmy God that looks nice down there, I must come back and walk through it one day.Ó It took 40 years to cure that small itch and I can tell you the trek more than lived up to expectationsÓ. Do it, because it really is fantastic.
Incredible views
The views were incredible and well worth the hike to the summits. Each summit being totally different and getting higher across the week, I felt a wonderful sense of achievement each time.
Pleasant walks
The walks were always very pleasant with ever varying scenery, taking us through picturesque villages, meadows carpeted with wild flowers, gorges with soaring limestone cliffs, and beech and fir forests. The history of the Cathars was fascinating and we got to explore many imposing castles including Peyrepertuse castle, which was the most impressive.
Welcoming culture
Vietnam has jumped to the top of my list of favourite destinations within Southeast Asia. The Vietnamese are warm and welcoming, the landscapes are stunning, and the walking is culturally diverse. I cannot wait to return to this incredible country.
Wonderful
A wonderful week of coastal walking, helped by great weather, good wine and rather a lot of ice cream! Real highlights for me were the guided walk on Capri, and exploring Naples - what an incredible, underrated city. Definitely a taste of La Dolce Vita.
