Well organised
I found that the trip was very well organised, particularly the trek itself. Nima Temang was excellent and was able to communicate well. It was noticeable that other guides regularly sought his advice and some other groups also sought his advice because they were unable to communicate effectively with their guide. Nima took particular care over keeping the group healthy - from putting out disinfectant hand washing facilities at lunch and dinner times and ensuring that disinfectant hand gel was available at each meal. He often also supervised the kitchen and the preparation of our food. The training and acclimatisation was also excellent with extra excursions etc. arranged, which meant that none of our party suffered from altitude sickness.
Great guide
Our guide was wonderful, nothing was a bother and he was very knowledgeable on the history of the wall.
Well supported trek
Good arrangements. Excellent hotel in Kathmandu. Instructions were clear and concise and met expectations. Enjoyed having a small group on trek, well supported by leader and assistant throughout. Summit Lodges were comfortable and gave good recovery from daily trek.
Our expectations were exceeded
This was the first experience of this kind for us so we were a little uncertain as to what the trek might be like. Our expectations were exceeded. The MK guide and his team took very good care of us. Travelling in an unknown country, we loved having the details arranged for us: travel, accommodation, flights, routing, meals. Our support team were exceptional.
Druk Path - 100% amazing
I am a very independent, solo backpacker, so to do a tour was a new experience that I thought would be cramping my independence. All I can say is that it was 'a blast' - great staff, loads of laughs, able to change itinerary if we wanted - everything was 100% amazing.
Chorten Path Trek - Beautiful scenery
Bhutan was a wonderful country to visit - we felt privileged to be able to visit - beautiful scenery, friendly people, colourful surroundings. We felt the route, accommodation and staff were carefully selected by Mountain Kingdoms, who also managed our travel arrangements and expectations very well.
Beyond our expectations
The choice of route and places visited and the organisation of the holiday was faultless. Bhutan lived up to expectations and beyond.
Excellent holiday to Bhutan
This was an excellent holiday. All in all it is difficult to see how you could improve on this holiday.
Wonderful Himalayan views
The quality of the leader and assistant leaders on this trip greatly enhanced our enjoyment. They were all well informed as well as concerned for our welfare, working very well together. The trip provided ALL we expected including wonderful views of the Himalayas!
Very well organised
Everything was very well organised - all the pre-trip details; all transfers and briefings; the hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara; and the whole trekking trip. The guide, Dawa, was good fun and enthusiastic and together with the superb tireless porters made for a wonderful holiday. All the 'extras' - morning tea, washing water, mid-morning tea, snacks, 4pm tea, biscuits, etc. - were things no other groups we met experienced. A huge 'thank you' to you all.
Friendly staff
Very organised tour, all local staff and hotel staff very friendly, MK office staff friendly and knowledgeable.
Wonderful trip
This was a wonderful trip - very well organised and expertly run. The route to Bumthang was inspired - giving us a bit of extra challenge, hot springs and something a bit different to boast about.
Mountain Kingdoms' comment: Please note - this review was given on return from our Complete Lunana Snowman Trek itinerary. From 2018 we take a spectacular new route out of Lunana.
Amazing trip of a lifetime
I had an amazing trip of a lifetime which was fantastically organised. The routes and free days were superbly balanced which was geared to getting us to almost the top of the world. Mountain Kingdoms' route scored head and shoulders above its competitors, we loved going to Thame and Khunde. Nima, our guide, was superb; patient and very attentive.
Super experience
The whole experience was super - our group got on well which was great. The free days were a good idea so one could re-visit many places.
Good acclimatisation
The itinerary was well planned - we had plenty of time to acclimatise in Leh before the trek. Accommodation in Delhi and Leh very good, great food and friendly service.
Truly memorable experience
Thank you MK for providing the opportunity to fulfil a lifetime ambition to visit the high Himalaya - I can truly say it exceeded all our expectations. The advice and customer care provided by MK staff both in the UK prior to departure and throughout the trek was exceptional and ensured that our trip was a truly memorable experience.
Exceptional service
Very efficient organisation and exceptional service from local staff - very professional, courteous and attentive. Good balance between trekking (natural beauty) and well-informed sightseeing (culture). Quite apart from the astonishing beauties that Bhutan itself has to offer.
Chorten Path Trek
The trek leader was extremely generous of himself with a great knowledge of his country - the land and its politics and religion. He and all the staff on the trek were very well organised, the cook was fantastic and the food was delicious.
Magnificent mountains
Everything was so well organised that we were able to relax and enjoy the magnificent mountains and the Nepalese countryside, only having to focus on the physical exertion of the trek, knowing that food, water, accommodation etc. was all under control. The guides and porters did their jobs superbly.
Masses of variety
Mountains Kingdoms has hit the jackpot again! A terrific trip, masses of variety of scenery and activities, excellent organisation, great accommodation and meals, superb driver/guide. Many thanks for everything.
