Friendly guides
The holiday was excellent and the guide, cook and porters on the trek went out of their way to make sure our every need was catered for. The care, attention and food were excellent and they should know how much their hard work was appreciated. We were well looked after at each and every point. The guides were knowledgeable and extremely friendly.
Adventure of a lifetime
The holiday was wonderful - truly the adventure of a lifetime. Bhutan is a magical Shangri La, beautiful scenery, quite stunning views - almost a lost world. Everything was perfectly organised, Mountain Kingdoms is quite simply the best holiday company we have ever travelled with.
Very warm welcome
I loved the combination of lots of views of big, snowy mountains with trekking through interesting and remote villages. The people are genuinely delighted (and amazed) that you have made the effort to visit their villages, and give you a very warm welcome.
Lingshi Laya Trek - Unforgettable
The trek was just absolutely brilliant. Everything from the country, to the trek, staff, support, back up, itinerary, food, everything, was faultless. The whole experience in Bhutan was unforgettable. Please pass on my thanks to all in the office for making the trip so special.
Excellent acclimatisation
The trip was interesting, varied and challenging. Excellent acclimatisation. Very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly guide. I would definitely recommend it.
Excellent service
As always, the general organisation and ease with which the trip went off was excellent. Even the packed lunches were superb! We like being able to fully trust all the arrangements and recommendations that you make. We will book with you again very soon!
Great trip
I do appreciate the level of accommodation that MK provides Ð it was a great trip.
Hugely enjoyable
Just back from MK trip trekking in Dolomites - absolutely superb. A simply amazing holiday. I was extremely happy with every aspect of this trip. It was for me, hugely enjoyable.
Memorable
It was a most enjoyable trip, made, as is often the case, by the people on the trek. Certainly our little group gelled very well and I think we all enjoyed the chat and companionship as much as the walking. Alberto our guide was excellent with a good appreciation of British humour and customs.
Helpful staff
Excellent itinerary with a very high standard of trekking support; helpful and responsive staff.
Well looked after
Trek guide was a lovely man and his knowledge and information was excellent. I enjoyed being looked after very well with good organisation, accommodation, the landscape, local people and being taken to local cafes for tea.
Reliable
Good service from the MK team. Reliable MK delivers what you see in the brochure, which is well thought out in conjunction with the local tour operator who have a good track record. Consistent quality, all 5 of us on this trip were repeat business for MK.
Terrific walks
There were lots that I loved about the holiday! The walks were terrific. The temple at Alchi was superb. Ladakh retreat was magical.
Excellent value
The quality of the holiday experience, very well thought out itineraries, good standards of local staff, accommodation and I think, excellent value for what is provided. Oh and also very helpful and knowledgeable MK office staff!
Great food
The trek cook was brilliant; the holiday was a really good trip with good quality hotels and accommodation.
Well-organised
The trip was well-organised, we had a small group and personal service. The food during the trek was the best ever! The cook deserves a medal.
Fabulous and varied trip
What a fabulous trip! This holiday offers one of the most inspiring and varied experiences of any of Mountain Kingdoms' many trips. One day you are climbing the slopes of a snow capped volcano in the high Andes or wandering the colonial streets of Quito and staying in great lodges and hotels, while the next you marvel at the stunning wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, have close encounters with unique birds such as the Blue Footed Booby, meet ancient tortoises and walk through enormous colonies of sea lions, with opportunities to swim with penguins or snorkel amongst exotic fish, all from the comfort of good standard accommodation on three of the islands.

Bhutan on two wheels
We experience the wonders of Bhutan on two wheels and joined the celebrations at the Punakha Tsechu, one of BhutanÕs most impressive festivals.
Rewarding trek
Stunning! I can't imagine a better way to discover Petra; the trek through Dana Nature Reserve and camping under clear desert skies were a real pleasure. I would highly recommend entering Petra from the 'backdoor' - a great reward at the end of a beautiful trek. This trip was culturally rewarding from start to finish.
