Mountain Kingdoms Traveller Reviews

An 18 day tour which completely lived up to its title and in fact exceeded expectations. The itinerary, accommodation, travel arrangements and attention to detail could not be faulted.

I think they are unsurpassed for small group personalised travel and they make every effort to ensure an exciting and truly memorable experience for their clients.

A very well tailored trip for two 'Grandparent' trekkers! It was a good introduction to trekking in Nepal encompassing a degree of comfort en route, with achievable walks between the lodges and at the same time stretching us. We had wonderful weather at the end of January into February and cannot understand why this isn't a more popular time as the temperature during the day was a perfect 22 degrees although nights pretty chilly with a star ridden sky, but nothing that a couple of good duvets and hot water bottles can't solve!

Well organised, consistently met and transferred on time with good instructions. Excellent, comprehensive Trip dossier setting out requirements from obtaining visas to clothing and medical items for the trip. We felt confident with the various agents in Nepal who facilitated our journey.

21 days on trek in the remote region of Zanskar in Ladakh, Himalaya. Wonderful friendly trekking staff; quality food and an excellent UK Trek Leader. Camping every night on trek under the crystal clear starry sky. By day we hiked in dry high altitude desert terrain with stunning limestone formations. Every day there were new valleys and passes to explore. The locals were friendly even though westerners are not often seen in the remote parts we visited.

Mountain Kingdoms had a very comprehensive dossier for pre-trek information, and their day-by-day itinerary was brilliant. They were good at keeping clients on track prior to leaving and good at answering any queries (no matter how odd they were). Their paperwork was simple to follow and easy to complete.

The holiday was called "Golden Trails of Burma". It was a packed itinerary but was more than a sightseeing trip. Our local guide had a vast knowledge of Burma and was keen to show us more than the usual temples. He spoke to local people about their work and their families and conveyed the information to us. We had several walks through beautiful countryside and stayed in some lovely hotels. It was a fantastic trip and I would have no hesitation in recommending both Mountain Kingdoms and this particular trip to anyone else looking for an interesting holiday.

Very efficient. They supplied a trip dossier in advance of the trip which was invaluable, as well as a day-to-day itinerary. All requests for further information were answered promptly in advance of the trip. The trip itself was very comprehensive. I would not hesitate to travel with Mountain Kingdoms again.

First class holiday, VERY good holiday company at Mountain Kingdoms, who seem to orgainise everything so well.

Mountain Kingdoms is a superb operator. I have travelled with them on four occasions and I have nothing but praise for their organisation and staff knowledge. I hope to travel with them again.

The Gentle Walking Trip was an excellent trip, combining just the right mix of walking and sightseeing. We travelled from Paro to Bumthang and back again by road, stopping at places en route. Note that now there is a domestic airport at Bumthang which should make for less driving although we didn't find this a problem. The architecture of the Dzongs is magnificent and we never tired of seeing the Buddhist temples as each is different. The walk up to Tiger's Nest on the last day was a fitting climax - we'd always wondered how you actually got to it!

We have travelled with this company several times and always found it to be very efficient. We like the fact that it isn't one of the large companies and we can approach named people.

Very good itinerary for seeing parts of Cambodia that are not included on many trips, but problems with one tour leader not handled well

Some information was excellent but not all.

Guided touring with some walking into local villages. Very well organised to miss the crowds, which is increasingly difficult in Burma.

Excellent service in Burma. A few small niggles about booking, but these did not detract from our enjoyment

We travelled to Nepal for the "Village trails of Nepal" holiday. From start to finish we were aware of excellent planning and on-the-ground support. Local agents, our guide, hotel bookings and transport were all excellent and when political events meant a necessary alteration to our itinerary, our guide resolved this very satisfactorily and with as little disruption to us as possible. This was our first holiday with Mountain Kingdoms and we don't intend it to be our last.

Very efficient both in pre-holiday planning and very informative in their brochures, as well as very willing to tailor our holiday to our requirements.

Travelled to Nepal with MK mid October doing two short tea house treks in these two regions of Nepal Scenery, service, support and food were all excellent - it is rare a holiday is as good as it says in the brochure - this one was and so much more The two regions are similar but different and its really worth seeing both The flight into and out of lukla is exhilarating, the people fantastic and scenery breathtaking - our Scottish mountains look somewhat diminutive by comparison

Superb information (we were first time trekkers), excellent in country staff, staff clearly cared for Would not hesitate to travel with them again
