Gentle Walking Bhutan reviews
Read holiday reviews by Mountain Kingdoms travellers.
This was an amazing and simply stunning trip which exceeded all our expectations. Some highlights for us were the major temples, Dzongs and Big Buddha; the Black Crane festival; crossing the passes at such heights with superb mountain views and the iconic Tiger Nest Monastery. The hotels were generally of a very good standard and the bus was both comfortable and adequate for the long drives - the latter being very important for the enjoyment of the trip. We found the walking tough going at first until we acclimatised but it was all manageable. Our guide was simply the best! We were very lucky to have him and he went above and beyond to look after us. My husband and I did the Bumdra trek extension which was the biggest highlight of the whole tour. Camping under the stars at 12,500 feet - amazing! Cannot fault Mountain Kingdoms organisation and planning.
The holiday gave us a really good insight into the culture and landscapes of Bhutan. It was very varied and we saw some beautiful places and buildings. It was totally different from other places we had been.
