Tailor Made Traveller Reviews Nepal

The Annapurna Circuit was beautiful. Highly recommended for the incomparable, stunning scenery of the Annapurna Region. If you're up for a more rigorous trek, I'd recommend a less traveled area (Nar-Phu) because of increasing roads and crowds. This is an overall great introduction to Nepalese culture and beauty.

A fabulous holiday - about 4-5 hours of walking each day (each day is different) with beautiful scenery and walking through remote villages. Every afternoon there is some down time, so a good time to relax and detox! Everyone is very welcoming and service is amazing.

Miss Withers & Mr Murphy, Surrey

A wonderful holiday. Ker & Downey lodges offered great comfort in lovely surroundings The trek routing carefully avoided the main trails therefore giving an intimate feel of the area and the overall experience was greatly improved by having our personal guide & porter. MK office staff had assisted by arranging extra days in Pokhara and Kathmandu thus giving us plenty of time for sightseeing. So much to see and absorb in this incredible country. Many memories to be cherished for years to come

This was a wonderful experience which I would recomend to anyone who is reasonably fit [I am 77]. It opened my eyes to many important matters, social, environmental and personal. The scenery is breath takingly magnificent, the people wonderful, friendly and kind. The whole trip was perfectly organised. The guides excellent Good value.

This is a tough trek with many steep climbs and descents, but thoroughly enjoyable. Having done the Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit, I feel that this trek brings you closer to the giant, snow-capped mountains than any other trek. The ABC is like a bowl surrounded by soaring mountains all around (360 degrees), including South Annapurna and Annapurna I which is above 8,000 m. The whole panorama is breathtaking. On the way to the top, you walk through terraced farms and villages which provide an eye opener about rural life in Nepal. Farming methods there reminded me of those in Southern European countries 70-80 years ago. You also walk through amazing forests with a variety of trees, birds and monkeys, as well as through deep valleys with glacier rivers (that is one of the reasons for the numerous steep climbs and descents). And of course the views both on the way up and the way down are really spectacular.

(Review from adapted Gentle Trekking & Luxury Lodges itinerary) Excellent trekking. A lot of steps up and down, so your legs get very fit! Amazing scenery, some basic tea houses but lovely people. Stayed in luxury lodges too, which were very comfortable and excellent food. Sunrise at Poon Hill is a must - spectacular views of mountain range. Over all 100% enjoyed the challenge and I am thinking about the next one!!

Mrs J Wickins, Devon

We had the most wonderful holiday. The use of guides with local knowledge was fantastic. The quality of accommodation and food was superb. Great experience.

Mr J Foot, Ross-Shire

This hidden part of Nepal is still a treasure for the trekker and remains unspoilt - but visit soon before the new road projects alter the remote peace and isolation of this ancient kingdom. Unforgettable scenery and strong Tibetan influence surviving in the harsh climate add to its uniqueness and our Nepalese trekking crew described it as like being on the moon!

Dr S Watt, North Yorkshire

Spectacular scenery in Mustang. The region is so remote and beautiful with few other tourists/trekkers. Thank you Mountain Kingdoms for organising this fantastic trip for us.

Ann Van Dierendonck, Malta

Our first trip to Nepal and exceeded all our expectations. A memorable family adventure with stunning scenery, good company and excellent guides and porters. Thoroughly recommend the trek for the mountains, cultural experiences and a challenge.

Mr S, Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire

We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Bhutan and Nepal. Bhutan, particularly, was an astonishing cultural experience. The only minus was the food in Bhutan, which is frankly poor. Otherwise pretty much everything met or exceeded our expectations and the organisation was impeccable.

HT, Kent

This was an amazing two week trek seeing many different mountain ranges and differing environments. We saw many different types of wildlife including monkeys, herds of Yak and Mountain goats. The weather was cool but wonderful blue skies every day. We had a fantastic local team looking after us, supported by the Mountain Kingdom team.

NCC and SMC, Buckinghamshire

Adventurous walking, attractive pine and rhododendron forests and marvellous Himalayan panoramic views. Also an interesting stay in good quality accommodation in the fascinating city of Kathmandu.

Andrew Fisher, London

This was a very well organised trek with everything running smoothly. We had excellent guiding from Durga, good pace-setting by Lapa. Durga's timings were very well chosen so that we avoided bad weather in the afternoons. Tea house accommodation was satisfactory, food was very wholesome and people were extremely friendly throughout the trip. The Langang Valley has a huge variety of ecosystems with loads of plant, animal and bird life. Durga's knowledge of these was hugely helpful.

Noel O'Regan, Edinburgh

What an amazing opportunity, to see the world's highest peaks in all their glory. Mountain Kingdom organised a brilliant itinerary, with an healthy rate of ascent to acclimatise. The local Sherpa guides and porters were so knowledgeable and helpful, making the whole trip a complete joy.
