Mountain Kingdoms Traveller Reviews

We had an action packed two weeks with our three children aged 9-15, including a 4 day trek (with supporting ponies helping a bit over the odd high pass!), camping and with a homestay, amidst stunning scenery, and visting many spectacular Buddhist monasteries clinging to rocky outcrops and bedecked with prayer flags. We also rafted through the gorge of the mighty Indus and saw the very rare "blue sheep", and had a few hours rock climbing and mountain biking. The local people were amazing and we could not have been better looked after in Ladakh. We also had a day or two in Delhi at either end, inc a trip to Agra and the magnificent Taj Mahal. Here things didnt go quite so smoothly, bringing what was otherwise an "excellent" holiday down to a "good".

It may be harsh to mark them down from an "excellent" to a "good" because of the difficulties we had in Delhi, and it is a close run thing ... but when you are travelling with children and paying well for local expertise in order to minimise problems, it is not unreasonable to expect it to be ensured that drivers will be engaged who know where they are going etc. On Ladakh alone - the mountains, and the true domain of Mountain Kingdoms - they would warrant an "excellent".

My third time with Mountain Kingdoms and again this was an excellent trip. Instead of the regular full time trekking formula, this trip combined day walks which were well-led, varied and stimulating together with the opportunity to absorb Ladakh's unique culture.

All of my fellow travellers were repeat business for Mountain Kingdoms. That just about sums it up. MKorganise trips which are consistently high in quality, imagination and reliability. I'm also very confident about their local knowledge and contacts.

My 3rd trip with Mountain Kingdoms, this time to Ladakh, Himalayan India and again another very well put together holiday, thoroughly professionally organised and great value for money considering all that was provided. As trouble free as adventure travel can be!

Mountain Kingdoms specialize in small group walking and trekking holidays around the world, with emphasis on places less well traveled than some destinations. Mountain regions, as the name suggests, is a particular strong area. Repeat business seems to be a large source of bookings which I think demonstrates how professional and well run they are.
