We loved every day!
This is a fabulous itinerary, and we thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. It was in turn relaxing, fascinating and fun. No two days were the same but every day was made interesting by the very personable guides. The standard of service was always high and the arrangements both in terms of travel and accommodation lived up to our expectations. The big attraction of this trip was the variety of what we did and saw. Never a dull moment ( but occasional ' chill-out' time by a nice pool was always welcome). One of the best holidays we've ever had ( in the last 30 years!)
Mountain Kingdoms' comment: Thank you for posting your review Rachel - we are so pleased to hear you had such a fantastic time on our Indochina tour.
Spectacular Balkans trek
A seriously great trip! We had loads of adventures. The mountains were really spectacular and every day the trekking was wild and exciting. The best thing though for me was the atmosphere of a country in a time-warp, with incredibly hospitable people and an edgy culture. One of the highlights I think was staying with nomadic shepherds in their summer mountain 'villages' and seeing their way of life. Watching them rounding up their sheep and cattle and penning them for the night to keep them protected from the wolves, and sharing their excellent food and fireside stories. It was absorbing too seeing the different towns and monuments of the three countries; Albania, Kosovo, and Montenegro. It seemed like travelling back in time and yet is pretty much on our doorstep. Good for fitness and some good hard walking made this a trip to remember.
Wonderful two week holiday in Bhutan
A great two weeks spent exploring Bhutan with a great guide - Karma. This is my third visit to Bhutan and I was happy to be seeing new places. Everything went to plan and both Guide and Driver could not do enough to ensure we were well cared for. We had some super "spontaneous" experiences - came across the semi-final of an Archery competition; a darts match; and even met and spoke to the King!! Also stumbled upon a Buddhist ceremony involving a bonfire and firecrackers. The walking was challenging, being at altitude, but there was always an alternative if you couldn't or didn't want to walk.
Remote and adventurous
I particularly enjoyed following the Zumlung Chu through the canyons. This part of the trek provided the ‘adventure’ component of this trip. I found the river crossings fun despite the fact that on those particular days we were crossing the river 20-30 times. We hardly saw any other trekkers. It was good to get way to remote areas. The setting of the monasteries perched on high the cliff sides was just spectacular. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I like the fact that Mountain Kingdoms are able to offer innovative and interesting routes on their treks which few, if any, other companies offer.
Excellent, varied trip to Bhutan
The mixture of trekking and culture was excellent. Punakha was beautiful.

Excellent group, very friendly; wonderful geology & scenery; well-structured trip with good walks; itinerary flowed.
Zanskar trek
We enjoyed the unusual routes and destinations. High quality rather than low cost.
Off-the-beaten-track
What I enjoyed about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was the superb “out of the way” routes. Well supported trek.
Well-organised and great trek crew
Dawa was a brilliant guide. Our cook was excellent - not sure how he produced such good food on 2 kerosene burners. The trip was well-organised. All transfers happened without mishap and we were met - as arranged - wherever we met.
Superb adventure to Nepal
Superb holiday/adventure. Great connections between activities i.e.: no long road trips.

Trip ran smoothly, trek accommodation was excellent.
Well-looked after
The overall package - from arrival to departure - we were looked after, and the agent kept checking up.
Antarctica cruise

Verdon Gorge is one of the best walks I've done
This was one of the best/most varied/interesting walks we have done - made all better by our wonderful guide Antoine.
Verdon Gorge trek
Very good organisation and choice of destinations.
Druk Path Trek
Good organisation and plenty of pre-trip information. Our guide in Bhutan was endlessly polite and patient; the hotel staff were good. Twelve is a good number for a group.
