Great service - trekking in the Everest region
This is my sixth trip with you. Your service and choice of local agent in Kathmandu would not allow me to choose any of your competitors.
Truly amazing adventure
The trek was a real challenge for me, especially as I arrived in Nepal not feeling well. But the whole team - leader, guides, porters and the other participants - encouraged and supported me all the way. It was a truly amazing adventure. Thank you.
Great service
A very enjoyable trip, the food was very tasty, the guide was very helpful, and spoke good English which made our encounter all the better.
Off-the-beaten-track
This holiday takes you off-the-beaten-track to a summit in the Burmese Himalaya, as well as visiting the main sights in Mandalay and Yangon. I did the recce in 2012 and loved it!
Guide was truly wonderful
This was our first holiday with Mountain Kingdoms and we were very impressed. It was well organised. There was no wasted time. We never felt rushed at any of the sights. Nyi Nyi was a truly wonderful guide and really helped to make this such a good trip. He was always very professional but great fun at the same time. Very good at managing the group without seeming to do so. The trip ran like clockwork with no problems at all.
Incredible mountain views
To be among the first visitors to a region like this is such a rare privilege! The tribes-people are shy but friendly and their agricultural way of life little changed for centuries. The landscapes are beautiful, the forest and jungle full of interest, and the Burmese 'Ice Mountains' are a stunning backdrop, especially at sunrise and sunset. We have part-funded two major suspension bridges to enable people to get right up the valleys to have a go at the mountain of Phongun Razi. I would recommend this to anyone with a sense of adventure!
Excellent guides
The guides and drivers on our trip were excellent - very friendly and approachable. We enjoyed the chance to learn more about Cambodia's troubled past as well as the friendliness and good humour of the Chi Phat villagers, our hosts, porters and cooks.
Surpassed my expectations
The balance of trekking and culture on this holiday was just right. I expected great things of this holiday and it reached and even surpassed my expectations. The two trek guides were both informative and helpful.
Superb holiday
We had an excellent holiday, superb local cuisine; we loved the picnics on the treks. Mr Lay was a superb guide!
Mountain Kingdoms did not disappoint
All connections and flights went like clockwork, we were always given the best of attention by our guides. All transport and hotels were first class and my second trip with MK didn't disappoint. Thank you.
Enjoyable, varied trip
A good mix of cultural highlights and walks to see the country. A more 'morally' correct approach than other tours to the country - I have wanted to go for 10 years but held back until now.
Exceeded my expectations
The holiday really exceeded my expectations. Pre trip information and correspondence was very good indeed.
Great service
This was my 6th trip, so MK must be doing something right. The liaison with the office is very efficient and prompt.
Rewarding
The trip was rewarding in all aspects - leader, group and the opportunity to camp in remote areas not otherwise accessible to individual travellers.
Extremely efficient
Everything was extremely efficient without losing the personal touch. Fellow trekkers were the most interesting and pleasant that we've ever trekked with. The pre-trek walk/briefing was very useful.
Wonderful mountain walking
I was very impressed with the trek, it was all (and more) that I had hoped it would be. A serious, longish trek into remote mountains. Loved it! Big thank you to all concerned. Well organised trip. If anything had gone wrong (which it didn't) I would have been in safe hands. Wonderful mountain walking in remote areas. Hardly saw other trek groups until we re-joined the Annapurna Circuit in last few days.
Luxury Lodges of Everest - Good accommodation
This was a well organised trek with as good accommodation as could possibly be expected in the Everest region. The whole trip was enhanced by a superb leader whose knowledge and organisational skills really contributed to its success - and his three support staff all of whom could not have been better.
Attentive crew
Service on the trek was well thought out - plenty of tea, good lunch stops, tea brought to door in the morning, etc. Guides were very attentive.
Superb
Everything was superb, attention to detail, not cutting corners, quality of service, interesting and varied itinerary.
Highly recommend
The standard of arrangements and guiding I could not fault - we are looking to do another trip with you on the back of what we have experienced and will recommend you to friends.
