An opportunity to experience Japan.
I had never thought of visiting Japan until Mountain Kingdoms sent out a newsletter. What a varied and interesting trip it turned out to be. It gave us a chance to experience so much - Tokyo and Nara, the trekking on the Nakasendo and Yamanobe Trails, sleeping and eating in traditional ryokan and minshuku, visiting beautiful temples and historic sites, travelling on the amazing rail system, and finally ending the trip in historic Kyoto.

I couldn't have had a better introduction to the country. The group was small and we had fun together. And the weather was perfect.

I had used Mountain Kingdoms for a previous 11 trips, mostly to the Himalayan region. Their trips had always been well organized, with a variety of activities and experiences. I was pleased to find it was extending its geographic area now to Japan, and signed up for its 'gentle trekking Nakasendo Trail, Japan'. It was a good choice, and an excellent trip, with a small group (something I have always appreciated with Mountain Kingdoms) - and would highly recommend both the company and its trips.;
Excellent to have you travel with us again Jane!!
Thank you Jane ...... we look forward to seeing you again on another adventure.

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.

Have been with Mountain Kingdoms several times, always happy.
Indeed, having done the M'goun gorges myself I can confirm they are some of the most amazing gorges I've ever seen.
Many thanks and glad to have you travel with us

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.
Many thanks for your lovely feedback Nancy
That's real swell Nancy !! Have a Good Day y'all





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.

It was a challenging trip very well organised, so we have good experiences from beginning to end.
Thanks for your feedback Ian. Yes, it is a hard trek and I am sorry to hear you had to change the route halfway through. Incredible adventure though. One I will never ever forget. Steve Berry
Glad to hear that Ian. Jullay, jullay





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.

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.
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.
Excellent ! That's a pleasure to hear.





Incredible Experience
Recently trekked the Kilimanjaro Summit - Lemosho route and from start to finish it was fantastic. The scenery, the support crew, the weather, the complete organisation of the trip was a incredible and so worth doing.
