Beyond our expectations
The choice of route and places visited and the organisation of the holiday was faultless. Bhutan lived up to expectations and beyond.
Excellent holiday to Bhutan
This was an excellent holiday. All in all it is difficult to see how you could improve on this holiday.
Wonderful Himalayan views
The quality of the leader and assistant leaders on this trip greatly enhanced our enjoyment. They were all well informed as well as concerned for our welfare, working very well together. The trip provided ALL we expected including wonderful views of the Himalayas!
Very well organised
Everything was very well organised - all the pre-trip details; all transfers and briefings; the hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara; and the whole trekking trip. The guide, Dawa, was good fun and enthusiastic and together with the superb tireless porters made for a wonderful holiday. All the 'extras' - morning tea, washing water, mid-morning tea, snacks, 4pm tea, biscuits, etc. - were things no other groups we met experienced. A huge 'thank you' to you all.
Friendly staff
Very organised tour, all local staff and hotel staff very friendly, MK office staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful trip
This was a wonderful trip - very well organised and expertly run. The route to Bumthang was inspired - giving us a bit of extra challenge, hot springs and something a bit different to boast about.
Mountain Kingdoms' comment: Please note - this review was given on return from our Complete Lunana Snowman Trek itinerary. From 2018 we take a spectacular new route out of Lunana.
Amazing trip of a lifetime
I had an amazing trip of a lifetime which was fantastically organised. The routes and free days were superbly balanced which was geared to getting us to almost the top of the world. Mountain Kingdoms' route scored head and shoulders above its competitors, we loved going to Thame and Khunde. Nima, our guide, was superb; patient and very attentive.
Super experience
The whole experience was super - our group got on well which was great. The free days were a good idea so one could re-visit many places.
Good acclimatisation
The itinerary was well planned - we had plenty of time to acclimatise in Leh before the trek. Accommodation in Delhi and Leh very good, great food and friendly service.
Truly memorable experience
Thank you MK for providing the opportunity to fulfil a lifetime ambition to visit the high Himalaya - I can truly say it exceeded all our expectations. The advice and customer care provided by MK staff both in the UK prior to departure and throughout the trek was exceptional and ensured that our trip was a truly memorable experience.
Exceptional service
Very efficient organisation and exceptional service from local staff - very professional, courteous and attentive. Good balance between trekking (natural beauty) and well-informed sightseeing (culture). Quite apart from the astonishing beauties that Bhutan itself has to offer.
Chorten Path Trek
The trek leader was extremely generous of himself with a great knowledge of his country - the land and its politics and religion. He and all the staff on the trek were very well organised, the cook was fantastic and the food was delicious.
Magnificent mountains
Everything was so well organised that we were able to relax and enjoy the magnificent mountains and the Nepalese countryside, only having to focus on the physical exertion of the trek, knowing that food, water, accommodation etc. was all under control. The guides and porters did their jobs superbly.
Masses of variety
Mountains Kingdoms has hit the jackpot again! A terrific trip, masses of variety of scenery and activities, excellent organisation, great accommodation and meals, superb driver/guide. Many thanks for everything.
Personal service
Well organised, excellent information, personal service. The two holidays I have been on with MK have been most enjoyable and informative.
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.
