Mountain Kingdoms Traveller Reviews

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

A superbly organised trek in an extraordinary country. The route was great, scenery was breath-taking and our trek team were brilliant beyond description!

Friendly, efficient, helpful and extremely knowledgeable.

We took the Golden Trails of Burma in early November. The organization was excellent in every respect and we had a very sensible itinerary for our group which was competently led by a most helpful local guide. Burma has to be visited now before it becomes like so many other Far Eastern tourist traps. By having short treks and boat journeys as well as travel by air, road and rail we felt we had got to know the people of Burma very well for the short time we were there.

Very well produced brochures and excellent service on the phone and email in UK. Their local agents continued the sense of security and personal service.

This was an unforgettable experience, climbing high into a very remote area. It certainly was unspoilt. The landscape was amazing, and you experience all the seasons and several climatic zones over the course of three weeks. We did have some bad weather, which brought snow to the high passes, so we could not go to the base camps. Still, we saw really huge mountains and countless waterfalls, under blue skies. Mountain Kingdoms have a good relationship with the local companies, and we had the most wonderful local team looking after us. They were superb, and we felt safe in their hands.

Mountain Kingdoms are very experienced, and have thought of every eventuality - as you can see from the very detailed dossier they provide when you sign up for the tour. Their teams are really well organised. We have complete confidence in them.

A truly rewarding twelve days trek to the Annapurna Sanctuary; dramatic scenery; comfortable lodges and good foodD; very informative about the culture and agriculture of the region.

Extremely efficient and supportive; careful attention to detail; well thought through itineraries led by capable leaders.

A ten day journey by boat, car and plane through the intriguing and beautiful landscapes of Laos, sandwiched between brief stays in Thailand and Cambodia including tours of the Angkor Wat complex. Two full days were spent on the Mekong in the North with other boat trips near Pakse and near the Cambodian border in the south with visits to the enormous falls and views of freshwater dolphins.

Almost faultless arrangements, good guides and transport, interesting and imaginative itinerary.

Excellent acclimatisation in a lesser trecked area in Lang Tang , Nepal followed by cultural sightseeing in Tibet. The route in Tibet gives a true flavour for the Tibetan way of life and its peoples. The scenery was stunning .

Mountain Kingdoms pay excellent attential to the detail of your holiday to make it a unique experience. The customer care starts with the advice and guidance on booking and continues throughout.

The trekking was hard work in places but the views were worth all the effort. Village people were very hospitable and invited you into their homes for chi and some even cracked open the biscuits. It was great to be allowed to sit and share experiences with our hosts. People would not believe how out of this world the scenery is in the India Himalaya, so vast and so diverse. And to top it all we had the best ever Cook, what Dave could create on his limited cooking resource was amazing and a delight to eat.

This is our 11th Trek with Mountain Kingdoms, what more can I say.

Trekked the Nar-Phu valley/ and crossed the Kang-la and Thorung -La passes in Oct 2013. The pre planning and organisation of the trip was very good and the guide we had (Purna Tamang) was excellent and became a good friend. Due to the effects of a strong Indian Cyclone affecting the weather over the Annapurna we changed plans but it all ran smoothly.

Professional and well organised. With a good reputation backed up in the field where their operatives are on hand to make sure the trip runs smoothly.
