A great trip in Uzbekistan
We were blown away by the fascinating sights in Khiva, Bukhara & Samarkand. The spectacles just got better and better as we progressed, the Registan being the jewel in the crown. The Uzbek dishes served in the city restaurants followed a set pattern but were varied, the salads being a particular hit. Spending time in the quiet mountain regions away from the bustle of the tourist sites was a welcome contrast. We loved the homestays in Nuratau, especially the creative home cooking. A great trip.
Incredible guides on Kilimanjaro
The scenery was fantastic throughout the different stages and with such vast blue skies. The guides and support crew were incredible, the encouragement and help we got from them made sure there was no doubting our abilities. From our morning cups of tea, our morning tea stops in some glorious location, to the delicious food that the cook prepared and the thoughtful hot water bottles at night - this was a well organised trek. The summit morning was so worth it. Thank you so much MK.
Tailor Made Silk Road Tour
The local organiser and the guides were excellent, and all travel plans ran smoothly.
An adventure in Ladakh
Not so much a holiday as an adventure, with stunning scenery and a few heart-stopping roads. Endlessly fascinating with mostly comfortable hotels and many lovely people. The sort of trip where you come back with stories to share, as well as photos.
Small group advantage in Ladakh
The drive up from Shimla to Leh was breathtaking in many ways - not only the amazing scenery but travelling along roads which were challenging after the monsoon rains had caused havoc with landslides and road surfaces washed away. Fortunately we had a brilliant driver in Suresh. Often our small group were the only people staying in hotels en route which made the tour seem very pioneering and adventurous. Being in a small group also allowed us to set our own pace and follow up on interests.
Kilimanjaro climb - Highly recommended!
I really liked: Impeccable service and support by the trek team, couldnt be faulted. I felt in safe hands at all times and was guided and looked after by a personal guide during the entire trip being by 20-25 years older than the other 4 ladies in my group...This was the hardest adventure ever undertaken. I wasnt sure Id make it but I returned home with just a minor cold. Highly recommended !
Private Itinerary Bhutan - Loved it!
Our guides were really awesome guys. Very competent, knowledgeable and kind. We loved the hiking in rural areas, historic temples, friendly local people, good healthy food and Himalayan mountain scenery.
Dolomites Circuit - Private Itinerary
This is an excellent trek and I would use superlatives to describe the unbeatable views and scenery, the superb refugios, which must be the best in Europe and our brilliant guide Paulo.
Claree Valley - Private itinerary
If you like alpine walking, and have any interest in the flowers, this is the trip for you. The walks are satisfying in their own right, but there is also enough time to find out about and photograph the stunning variety of flowers that you will see. The guide, Antoine, has an encyclopedic knowledge, great enthusiasm and perfect English. The hotel is friendly, with good food. We visited the Claree Valley last October for the autumn colours. The change of season complemented this experience.
Silk Road - Private Itinerary
The whole trip was well organised from beginning to end. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and our driver was excellent. We saw so much and were given plenty of information about all the sites we visited. We now feel that we know a lot about the country, its history and customs. The country is a fascinating mix of old and modern and the people are really lovely - very friendly and kind. We have come back with so many happy memories of another world.
Uzbekistan - a country of contrasts
A country of contrasts with stony deserts, modern cities with a wealth of Islamic architecture and history together with stunning mountain scenery. The people were friendly and welcoming and took great pride in their country. Excellent group of fellow travellers.
The Awesome Mera Peak.
A fantastic experience, organised by professionals and guided by super human Sherpas and porters.The ultimate experience. Nothing was too much trouble. It was unbelievable. Already booked my next trip with them.
Fantastic private trip to the Annapurnas
An absolutely fantastic holiday - combining trekking in the Annapurna valley with Chitwan National Park was a brilliant blend. It felt like the trip lasted forever, and we came back well exercised whilst completely relaxed. We would recommend Mountain Kingdoms without hesitation.
Toubkal trek
Great walk in a beautiful environment.
Beautiful mountains of Uzbekistan
Amazing cities and sites broken up with hiking in beautiful mountains.
Amazing private trek to Everest Base Camp
What an amazing opportunity, to see the world's highest peaks in all their glory. Mountain Kingdom organised a brilliant itinerary, with an healthy rate of ascent to acclimatise. The local Sherpa guides and porters were so knowledgeable and helpful, making the whole trip a complete joy.
Langtang Valley Private Trek
This was a very well organised trek with everything running smoothly. We had excellent guiding from Durga, good pace-setting by Lapa. Durga's timings were very well chosen so that we avoided bad weather in the afternoons. Tea house accommodation was satisfactory, food was very wholesome and people were extremely friendly throughout the trip. The Langang Valley has a huge variety of ecosystems with loads of plant, animal and bird life. Durga's knowledge of these was hugely helpful.
Private trek in Langtang Valley
Adventurous walking, attractive pine and rhododendron forests and marvellous Himalayan panoramic views. Also an interesting stay in good quality accommodation in the fascinating city of Kathmandu.
A multi-mix delight
Our multi mix trip of trekking and sight seeing to Nepal and Bhutan was a delight. The itinerary well put together with trekking and altitude gradually getting more difficult as we approached the finale of an amazing and challenging day hiking 500 metres above Tigers Nest Monastery. The scenery in Kathmandu Valley and then Bhutan was breath taking. Much to wonder about the culture of both countries. Guides and hotel accommodation first class,
Fantastic private Mustang trek
Spectacular scenery in Mustang. The region is so remote and beautiful with few other tourists/trekkers. Thank you Mountain Kingdoms for organising this fantastic trip for us.
