Sri Lanka 2019
Honestly, they never fail to amaze me with the amount of activities they can tie into one trip! Its hard to write all the amazing things that I experienced into one small review but all I can say if you're thinking about going to Sri Lanka this tour is for you! Hotels were stunning! One even had two floors to it!! Practically an apartment by my opinion! All the people in Sri Lanka are absolutely lovely and the amount of monuments and temples you will be able to see will amaze you! Nothing but gorgeous scenery and delicious smelling food! Only downside is I didn't bring enough bug spray! Couldn't recommend it enough either way!
Pyrenean paradise
The perfect get away for a long weekend. The amazing views, walks, food, and hospitality blew me away. This is a country ready to introduce itself as a Pyrenean paradise to the world.
Gentle Walking Ecuador & Galapagos Safari
The organisation was brilliant from start to finish. As a solo traveler I felt very safe and well looked after while in Ecuador, the guide spoke perfect English and was very professional and made my trip most enjoyable.
Great Variety
A little off the beaten track but West Bengal and Assam were wonderful varied destinations, Kolkata was vibrant and steeped in colonial history and the Grand Oberoi a superb hotel to return to at the end of the day, we had 2 extra days there, I'd recommend at least one extra, it's a big city with lots to see. Darjeeling and Kalimpong a different world of tea plantations, toy trains and spectacular views of the Himalayas. The Windamere is an attraction on its own, coal fires in the bedroom and hot water bottles at night and a 1930's dining room serving excellent Indian food. By contrast the Brahmaputra wound languidly across the plains of Assam, some would describe the landscape as featureless but the scale and light made it hypnotically beautiful from the top deck of the lovely MV Mahabaahu. The riverboat was spacious and comfortable with lovely cabins and a crew who literally could not do enough. The daytrips were excellent with the highlight being the magnificent rhino at Kaziranga, an unforgettable experience. All in all a really excellent varied trip to a little visited part of India.
Cultural Tour Sri Lanka
An enjoyable group tour well worth the journey to reach Jaffna and the Palk Strait Islands in the far north, and Trincomalee on the east coast. There were some long drives to the central World Heritage sights and Galle. There was a nice mix of temples, wildlife and colonial experience. The hotels were excellent and up-market, but tended to be somewhat isolated from nearby towns and Sri Lankans.
Such a great trip!
Trekking along the rugged cliffs and beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean was visually stunning and camel riding among the sand dunes was a memorable treat! Hussein was a fantastic guide, one of the best, and his organisational skills, knowledge and charm greatly enhanced our adventure. I enjoyed the company of our small but select group and I thought we slipped into a very comfortable team. Trekking with Mountain kingdoms is always a pleasure and a privilege.
Relaxed & calm.....peaceful adventure
Good choice
Bhutan
An amazing experience. We were well looked after. The guide was excellent
Wonderful Experience
This trip is perfect if you want to experience the Bhutanese culture. There are lots of visits to Buddhist temples, walks through villages and towns, and the Punakha festival was a feast for the eyes, with everyone dressed in their best. The food in Bhutan is not particularly exciting, so not a trip for ‘foodies’. The hotels were mixed, which I did not mind, but one was very cold, and one was changed after the first night. If this would bother you, consider paying for higher grade hotels. If you are a nervous passenger be aware that mountain roads have few crash barriers and steep drops, but our driver was amazing and I never felt unsafe. The climb to Tigers Nest Monastery on the last day was a wonderful finale. The guide was excellent. There was only 6 people on the trip, and we all got on very well.
Outstanding food on trek
We had a competent and knowledgeable guide whom I could trust, particularly on the trek. The trek food was outstanding.
Druk Path Trek - Bhutan
I enjoyed the whole experience, the detailed knowledge of the guide and his enthusiasm.
Bhutan is Fabulous
Everything went smoothly on the trip as far as we were concerned. The trip leader dealt very well with different walking abilities and different approaches to trekking - some wanting to race and others wanting to walk slowly to appreciate the fabulous scenery. A delay of several hours to the flight from Paro to Kathmandu was turned into an advantage by the trip leader who organised a visit to a wonderful local Dzong under restoration and a weaving shop. Bhutan is fabulous. We cannot imagine anyone not wanting to return.
Druk Path Trek
This trip is about at my limit of endurance/fitness. Nevertheless I enjoyed it very much and have some amazing photographs as a result. The quality of information from MK is very good. There was also quality in the hotels we used, and the staff were excellent. I would particularly like to thank the team supporting us on the trek as they did a magnificent job in managed the very different levels of fitness / walking speeds in the group.
We loved our time exploring mysterious eastern Bhutan.
The beautiful unspoilt valleys are home to unspoilt cultural treasures, there is a tale or legend to be told in every village, and best of all, we had it all to ourselves! Go now, before Lonely Planet make it a must visit destination!
Xmas Holiday in Himalayas
An amazing trip!!! MK took care of all the logistics, provided us an amazing hotel stay, and we were on our way to our trek. We were fortunate to have on of the most amazing guides, Kami T Sherpa, who made us feel very welcome and was always quick to provide us with anything we needed to make us feel comfortable during the trek. He was such a positive, and happy person. Travelling with him was a joy! Thank you MK for an amazing holiday.
An excellent trip that exceeded my expectations.
Spectacular scenery and architecture experienced under a cloudless sky. Reaching Taktsang Monastery was the highlight of my time in Bhutan. Excellent customer service from all concerned. Would have no hesitation in recommending Mountain Kingdoms.
Gentle Walking Sri Lanka
The timing and itinerary of the holiday met our requirements and were main reasons for making the booking with MK. Could not fault any of the services provided by MK.
We absolutely loved this trip.
It was our first time in Southern India having been to Northern and Central many times. The itinerary was varied and took in the very best of what was on offer in Kerala. We have travelled with you many times before and have come to expect the best. We were not disappointed.
Gentle Walking Kerala
This was my first Mountain Kingdoms holiday and I was very impressed. The accommodation and activities were excellent and I very much enjoyed them. Our local guide Ganesh was superb and went to great lengths to ensure that we all enjoyed ourself.
