Well organised
The sights and general ambience of the country walks and climbs were excellent and well organised.
Incredible country
Bhutan and Druk path trek was fantastic. Bhutan is an incredible country and so lucky to have visited/experienced it before it changes. Once again many thanks for everything. We will be returning to Mountain Kingdoms for another adventure, perhaps South America, so much to choose from.
Reputable - Everest trek
The confidence that comes from knowing that MK has lots of knowledge and local expertise. At all stages we felt we were getting 'VIP' treatment!
Superb
Lodges were superb: staff, food, everything. The trip was well organised, the lodges were superb, all staff were fantastic.
Well organised
Well organised, no additional costs like we observed with some trekking companies. The fact the whole holiday was over 20 days rather than 18 days, as advertised by other trekking companies I am sure was beneficial in the whole party not suffering altitude sickness or exhaustion.
Wonderful walks
The trek was a really enjoyable experience. The walks were wonderfully varied and gave insight into village life and rural landscapes normally overlooked by higher altitude treks. The sometimes quirky, sometimes luxurious hotels added to the experience. The overall package involving drives to interesting areas, visits to temples, the hotels and the lovely walks was outstanding.
Scenery was superb
The scenery was superb, and the pace of the trek was well managed. The friendly response to queries beforehand by MK staff was also excellent.
Luxury Lodges of Everest - Magical scenery
This was a fantastic holiday! The route was just right- challenging but do-able and magical scenery every day. Pace and acclimatisation were both very well judged by our trek leader, who could not have done more to ensure that we had the best possible experience. Absolutely no complaints - more holidays of this type please.
Most fantastic experience
This was the most fantastic experience and credit goes to Mountain Kingdoms for their care in arranging such a well thought out itinerary and using knowledgeable, well trained local staff. The hotel Dwarika's was fantastic.
Mera Peak - great service
As this was my 5th trek with MK, it is the service you provide from beginning to end, from the brochure through to the assistance given with any queries one may have.
Fell in love with the country
I fell in love with the country and its people and I'm planning to go back in a couple of years' time. What made the trek really special was having local guides. I saw other companies who used European guides and I'm so glad we had local ones. Nima and Bir in particular were outstanding in terms of their hospitality and kindness, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Chorten Path - great experience
I have trekked with you since 1990. I know it is always going to be well organised and a great experience.
Perfect!
It was a 'perfect' trek in all aspects. The staff were excellent and demonstrated great adaptability to all situations.
Ideal group size
What I appreciate most about Mountain Kingdoms is the small numbers. It means smaller, more characterful hotels, better and quicker transport and eating in a small party is so much more pleasant.
Evocative
The route was very well planned and I particularly appreciated the train journey from Samarkand to Tashkent. This was very evocative of the silk route going across the huge expanse of deserted steppe and seeing the small isolated villages.
Remote, challenging & fun
Fabulous remote countryside, friendly staff and local people, a good balance between challenge and fun.
Great experience
The whole trip was great - thoroughly enjoyed - well organised and well lead! Excellent does not do a good enough description of the quality and variety of food we were given! Equipment standards were excellent and very comfortable. The trek leader was exceptional, was organised and knowledgeable. I had a great holiday and a great experience that will bring me back to Ladakh and Zanskar. Thank you everyone at Mountain Kingdoms.
Memorable holiday
Your expertise and knowledge of the country showed in the itinerary and dossier provided. Everything ran smoothly. You gave me a holiday which I will always remember. I embarked on it feeling that I was in safe hands.
Lodges were fantastic
Fantastic holiday - expectations from the brochure and pre-trek information were met, on the ground services in Nepal were good, always there, always on time. Lodges were fantastic with hugely friendly staff.
Annapurna and Everest - Fantastic
Lodges were fantastic with hugely friendly staff.
