Ama Dablam Base Camp
This was an excellent and well thought out itinerary. We particularly enjoyed the variety of walking and experiences gained. The scenery on the trek was both spectacular and varied. We were introduced into Nepalese culture, met with Nepalese families and shared an understanding of their religious beliefs. The kindness of the people we met will stay with us.
Finest mountain views
We had a view of the whole length of the Zemu Glacier which is one of the finest mountain views I have ever seen. Once again I run out of superlatives in describing the crew. Everyone of the 17 man crew were excellent.
Gem of a trek
This is a real gem of a trek.
Lingshi Laya Trek - Fascinating culture
Terrific location / fantastic scenery / fascinating culture particularly in Laya. Overall trip logistics in Bhutan were excellent. Group size of 10 was perfect.
Cycling Tour Bhutan - Awe-inspiring views
A fantastic combination of cycling through remote valleys and up high passes - to enjoy awe inspiring views of the distant Himalayan mountains.
Cycling Tour Bhutan - wonderful experience
Travelling by bicycle in Bhutan was a wonderful experience: the exhilaration of navigating through major road works, to being able to visit Gasa and have a homestay with the Governor of Gasa Province, to the trip to Ugyen Choling.
Trip of a lifetime
I just wanted to say a big thank you for our Bhutan adventure. Truly a trip of a lifetime for all of us. I have really enjoyed looking at the photos and recounting all the tails to friends and family...All have been stunned by the scenery and the beauty of Bhutan.
Trouble-free
What I liked about travelling with Mountain Kingdoms was that their client wellbeing is paramount, their long standing relationship with their local agents ensured a totally trouble free trip and the quality of hotels outside the trek. Thank you all for making the Gangkar Punsum trip such a memorably fantastic one. May our next adventures be so fortunate.
Splendid trip
...So may I say now that we were very well supported by Karma Tenzin, Lotay and their team (Dorji, Phub Tshering and Dophu) and, indeed, the horsemen from Dur. Cooperation throughout the trek was exemplary and created a very happy spirit for all concerned. The meals were terrific and Lotay's skill is remarkable, ensuring that supplies were used steadily throughout the trek and most supplies lasted to the final day... The whole experience seems to be 'thought through'; timings, logistics, acclimatisation, supplies, staffing all fit; most comforting. Best wishes and thanks for a splendid trip.
True wilderness experience
I loved the remoteness of this trip; it felt like a true wilderness experience, and following in a snow leopard's snowy footsteps up to the Ghami La pass was exceptionally memorable.
Lovely guesthouses
I loved staying in traditional guesthouses along the way, their home grown food was delicious.
Knowledgeable guide
Our guide knew everyone in the Markha Valley and was extremely knowledgeable about the culture, flora and fauna.
Outstanding guide
Our guide was outstanding - the best we have had - his knowledge of the culture and wildlife was unrivalled.
Lovely
Montenegro deserves to be discovered by some more MK travellers it's such a lovely place!! And the beer's good!
Amazingly varied
This state has it all, from the highest and lowest points in Continental USA through to some of the lushest and driest places on the planet.
Incredible views
I love the south west of America, it's hard to comprehend the sheer scale of this area - it has incredible views and vast open skies that seem to go on forever.
Incredible experience
It is hard to pick a single highlight for this trip as there are so many, but I would have to say that riding along the Northern rim of the Grand Canyon with not another soul in sight was an incredible experience that I'll never forget.
A first class trip - Mustang trek
A first class trip led by an excellent local guide... we had an audience with the King of Lo, visited three schools and had lots of interaction with the people of Lo Manthang. Superb scenery together with unique people making a fantastic experience.
Highly recommend
I had a lovely time... Best travel company I have ever used...Great customer service, good itinerary, well chosen hotels, good leader and driver. Felt like things had really been thought through. Maximum group number of 12 is good too - we had 9 on our trip and it was a good number. I would highly recommend Mountain Kingdoms - I've travelled with a number of adventure tour operators and you are by far the best on a number of counts - customer service, quality of trip, value for money etc.
Great trekking team
The trekking team were absolutely great, the food on the trek was very good, varied and the team were really helpful in every respect, with Pemba taking great care to manage expectations. Overall we enjoyed the walking and the mountain experience as we are well used to winter walking conditions.
