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.
Strongly recommend
The entire experience exceeded our expectations. We could not fault the organisation and support we experienced at all times on our trek. We would strongly recommend MK to anyone who wanted to visit/trek in a similar area - well done!
Exceeded all expectations
It exceeded all expectations, plus we had so much fun with our group. Terrific organisation right from the word go when our dossier arrived. Excellent day to day itinerary. Can't heap on enough praises and would recommend you to anyone interested.
A great trip
Well planned trip - all the info as always is detailed and excellent, inc. equipment advice. Have travelled with you before and found this, as always, was up to your usual high standard. The Sherpa leader and porters were great and looked after us very well, sorry to say good-bye to them. A great trip, and as the only woman in the group at 60+ felt very happy that we made it all the way round.
Well organised
I found that the trip was very well organised, particularly the trek itself. Nima Temang was excellent and was able to communicate well. It was noticeable that other guides regularly sought his advice and some other groups also sought his advice because they were unable to communicate effectively with their guide. Nima took particular care over keeping the group healthy - from putting out disinfectant hand washing facilities at lunch and dinner times and ensuring that disinfectant hand gel was available at each meal. He often also supervised the kitchen and the preparation of our food. The training and acclimatisation was also excellent with extra excursions etc. arranged, which meant that none of our party suffered from altitude sickness.
Great guide
Our guide was wonderful, nothing was a bother and he was very knowledgeable on the history of the wall.
Well supported trek
Good arrangements. Excellent hotel in Kathmandu. Instructions were clear and concise and met expectations. Enjoyed having a small group on trek, well supported by leader and assistant throughout. Summit Lodges were comfortable and gave good recovery from daily trek.
Our expectations were exceeded
This was the first experience of this kind for us so we were a little uncertain as to what the trek might be like. Our expectations were exceeded. The MK guide and his team took very good care of us. Travelling in an unknown country, we loved having the details arranged for us: travel, accommodation, flights, routing, meals. Our support team were exceptional.
Druk Path - 100% amazing
I am a very independent, solo backpacker, so to do a tour was a new experience that I thought would be cramping my independence. All I can say is that it was 'a blast' - great staff, loads of laughs, able to change itinerary if we wanted - everything was 100% amazing.
Chorten Path Trek - Beautiful scenery
Bhutan was a wonderful country to visit - we felt privileged to be able to visit - beautiful scenery, friendly people, colourful surroundings. We felt the route, accommodation and staff were carefully selected by Mountain Kingdoms, who also managed our travel arrangements and expectations very well.
