Mountain Kingdoms Traveller Reviews

A perfect mix of walking, guided visits to temples and dzongs and a festival.

Mountain Kingdoms provided esxcellent service and a thoroughly well-organised trip.

The trip was well organised from beginning to end. The content was varied and interesting and we were accompanied by an excellent guide who went to great lengths to ensure that every member of our small group (11) had a good experience.

Our tour operator was Mountain Kingdoms. This is the second time we have travelled with them and on both occasions the holiday has been well organised and fully met our expectations.

A comprehensive experience of life in Myanmar covering it's history and present day challenges. An excellent itinerary giving an opportunity to see sights of major importance along with walking trips allowing us to see villagers engaged in everyday life.

Mountain Kingdoms provide a well thought out itinerary along with a comprehensive Trip Dossier backed up with good back office support and excellent on the ground guides.

2 weeks of very varied experiences focusing on the wildlife and unspoilt, rural side of Sri Lanka.

We will definitely look at other trekking trips organised by Mountain Kingdoms.

13 day fully escorted private trip.Visited all the main sites including Viaduct,cruise on river ,walks on 5 days which we were able to visit local people and villages and see the varied crops grown. An excellent trip and we were well look after by the guide and support staff. Would recommend the trip

Gave us lots of useful information prior to trip and itinerary was well planned and varied.

After one night in Katmandu, we drove over to start our 17 day trek around the beautiful Annapurnas. Every day brings fresh challenges and different views of the snow-capped peaks as we ascend to the Thorong-La at over 17,000feet. The return journey was equally fascinating as we trekked through a variety of terrains from bleak rocky uplands, alongside a wide expanse of river-bed, through lush forests and cultivated hill farms. We met many friendly Nepalese villagers and felt humbled by their lifestyle making the most of little resources. Back in the bustling city of Katmandu, we relaxed in the aptly named Shangri-La Hotel.

This is the 2nd trek I've chosen Mountain Kingdoms. I have every confidence in the way they provide top quality Reps and Sherpa guides who are most attentive to the welfare of their clients. The itineraries are well-thought out and the administration is very efficient. They make sure that the staff involved with their operations are well protected. They respect the customs & culture of the countries visited. Mountain Kingdoms is expanding its operations but they still seem to provide a personal service. I can empathize with their aims.

A great two weeks spent exploring Bhutan with a great guide--Karma.This is my third visit to Bhutan and I was happy to be seeing new places. Everything went to plan and both Guide and Driver could not do enough to ensure we were well cared for.We had some super "spontaneous" experiences----came across the semi-final of an Archery competition; a darts match; and even met and spoke to the King!! Also stumbled upon a Buddhist ceremony involving a bonfire and firecrackers. The walking was challenging, being at altitude, but there was always an alternative if you couldn't or didn't want to walk.

Mountain Kingdoms organisation is first rate. From booking we were given all the information necessary to ensure we were well prepared for the trip. Everything went to plan, we were met and transported with no waiting around. Comfortable hotels and transport and information given at every point.

Brilliantly organised, fantastic friendly local guide, gorgeous people. A truly wonderful experience.

Mountain Kingdoms

We had a superb time on the Manaslu circuit. We were well looked after and the arrangements worked brilliantly.

Mountain kingdoms organisation is first rate. The companies they use in Nepal were all responsible and attentive to our needs.

This was my first trek at High Altitude - and it was exactly as they described , as strenuous. But thoroughly enjoyable. The two guides were superb and made sure we were able to get the most out of the three weeks. Their experience, knowledge, skill and care for us all in the party was exceptional,aided by by their lovely sense of humour. It was obvious from the looks on other trekkers' faces in the Tea Houses that they were envious of the way were were looked after. The Shangri-La hotel in Kathmandu was excellent, both staff and facilities.

First rate! All arrangements went exactly as described in their brochure (to some extent this is in the 'lap of the gods' as weather can play a large part in this, but the guides would have dealt with any difficulties) from being met at the airport at Kathmandu on arrival to (reluctantly!) leaving to come home. Staff excellent. The brochure giving advice on what to take, how to prepare etc was very detailed and helpful. All contact with staff at the office prior to departure was efficient and friendly.
