Highly recommend
I would highly recommend a Srinigar houseboat stay to anyone - the boats are floating works of art with exquisite wood carving throughout the interior.
Hidden gem
This trek is one of India's hidden gems...
No praise high enough
ItÕs difficult to find praise high enough for the Ausangate lodge trek. The scenery is incredibly varied and stunning.
Excellent value
This was an excellent tour - friendly participants, very good guide and excellent value for money. What more could one ask for!
Trek crew were fantastic
The pre-departure info was excellent and thorough. The local trek crew were fantastic - I can't praise them enough. MK obviously has respect for the local people it uses and the countries it operates in.
Extraordinary region
The culture of the Chin Hills is unique and it felt a real privilege to visit such an extraordinary region. The lovely Kalaw to Inle trek took us through gorgeous rolling countryside, past tea gardens and fields of vegetables and flowers, interspersed with occasional forested ridges.
Beautiful scenery
It was exciting to travel to a region which has so few visitors, and my guides and driver were as thrilled as I was to be seeing this remote part of the kingdom with its wonderful fortresses, temples, beautiful scenery and endless supernatural legends.
Moving and spectacular
Reaching the mountains near Goecha La was deeply moving and spectacular - such fresh evidence of glacial movement and stunning morning scenes. The trekking staff were dependable - courteous, attentive and pleasant and the flights and drives all ran to plan.
Extremely well-guided trek
This trek was a very well put together, extremely well-guided and I thought that the pre-trip briefing notes were very comprehensive.
Bhutanese guides were brilliant
It was fantastic - even better than we had imagined. Our Bhutanese guides were brilliant, and made the tour special both in their own ways. I don't know how we can find a holiday which will beat this one!
Outstanding support on trek
Very efficient service from the UK office and excellent support from the team in Kathmandu. The Sherpas were well chosen and gave outstanding support on trek. It was always reassuring to know that good support would always be available in the event of any problems.
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!
