Mountain Kingdoms Traveller Reviews

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.;

Cultural tour of Bhutan was very scenic and informative Brahmaputra river cruise provided insight into rural, river and village life as well as vastronomic delights and wonderful people

Accommodated our requests re flight changes Kept us informed with necessary information throughout Easy to contact

An excellent holiday. A week in Bhutan, a week river cruising the Brahmaputra them 3 nights in Kolkata. Every detail dealt with by Mountain Kingdoms.

Nothing was too much trouble. We were kept well informed about every detail.

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.

Have been with Mountain Kingdoms several times, always happy.

Small group tour. Amazing tour guide, fabulous places to see, friendly locals, all in all really special.

Mountain Kingdoms provided all the necessary info and made the experience exceptional. Everything ran smoothly and allowed us to enjoy this visit to a lovely country.

Great trip and good value! Everything went well, love the hiking, hotels, and food! The local trip leader was very knowledgeable and attentive.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mountain Kingdoms may be a small group but they give such dedication and devotion to making sure your experience wherever in the world you find yourselves, to be amazing.
