Gentle Walking Bhutan by Rutland Ken, 29 Oct 2023
Holiday Rating:

Once in a lifetime - until we return!

A wonderful combination of easy(ish) walking amid stunning scenery and fascinating cultural insights. Everything we hoped for and more, thanks in no small measure to faultless local organization and our superb local guide for whom no praise can be too high.

Advance info from MK in Uk, and local organisation by their agents in Bhutan/Nepal were both absolutely faultless. A wonderful expereince with an excellent compamy.

Indeed, having done the M'goun gorges myself I can confirm they are some of the most amazing gorges I've ever seen.

Rating for tour operator:

This is the first time I use an U.K. tour operator (I am American) and did not have much expectation but MK staff were very responsive to my questions and booking was very smooth considering I did it during my travel in Africa.

Zanskar Dream Trek by Kiwi, 24 Sep 2023

Zanskar Dream Track

It was a challenging trekking trip in a remote part of India where you see few tourists. The terrain was hard, the view stunning. Which a great team of guides and crew we successfully completed the 31 day trip ( with 24 days on track). We rate it as one of best and hardest trekking experiences we have had.

Silk Road Mountains & Monuments by Surrey Foxes, 22 Sep 2023

Fascinating and varied visit to Uzbekistan's treasures

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, ...

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.

Rating for tour operator:

We met an enthusiastic rep at the Destinations Show, with whom we discussed various options for visiting the famous Silk Road sights in Uzbekistan. From that point on the contact with Mountain Kingdoms was always professional, helpful and friendly. Booking was straightforward and everything went very smoothly thereafter.

Mountain Kingdoms responded to this review on 22 Sep 2023:

Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased to see you enjoyed Uzbekistan as much as I have on my visits to this country and also neighbouring 'stans.

Kilimanjaro Summit Lemosho Route by Kristin G. , 8 Aug 2023
Holiday Rating:

Trip of a lifetime to the Roof of Africa

8 day climb to the top of Kilimanjaro by the Lemosho route. Excellent support by ground handler and good information available by your operator. Disappointed about quality of Qatar Airways flight out of Kilimanjaro International Airport. 3 hours late departing. No good or hot drinks served for another 4 hrs. Service very mediocre on the first leg. Dreamliner flight from Doha to LHR with female pilot much better.

So sorry the Qatar Airways flight did not live up to its normal excellent standards, though glad to see there was a female pilot.
