Excellent accommodation
This is a wonderful, varied holiday, the accommodation was excellent and the scenery was really lovely. We would really recommend this trip.
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.
Incredible experience
Trekking beneath the legendary peaks of the Karakoram was an incredible experience, and one I will never forget.
Dramatic mountain scenery
The generally warm, dry conditions and the long days of sunshine are powerful client recruiting factors, along with perhaps the world's most dramatic ice-snow-rock mountain scenery ... this is the true 'Roof of the World' as Tibet or Nepal have nothing this extensive and this high. Northern Pakistan is a world apart culturally, religiously and security-wise from the Afghan/Pakistan border areas. A great trek!
Fantastic
Overall a fantastic trip, great staff, wonderful place.
Thoroughly enjoyable
The local staff were excellent; the trek and sightseeing was well organised. I thoroughly enjoyed the 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!
Impressed
This is the third time we have travelled with MK and on each occasion we have been particularly impressed by the quality of the guides and local staff. Also impressed by the efficiency of MK documentation, organisation and appreciate personal contact with staff.
Great trekking team
The trekking team were absolutely great, the food on the trek was very good, varied and the team were really helpful in every respect, with Pemba taking great care to manage expectations. Overall we enjoyed the walking and the mountain experience as we are well used to winter walking conditions.
Sherpa leader was superb
The whole holiday was a memorable experience - we loved Sikkim. Our Sherpa leader was superb - very helpful, attentive and knowledgeable.
Thoroughly recommend
We thoroughly enjoyed our trekking holiday and wouldn't hesitate to travel with your company again and to recommend to others.
Memorable
The emotional elation I felt on reaching the Goecha La will stay with me forever.
Moving and spectacular
Reaching the mountains near Goecha La was deeply moving and spectacular - such fresh evidence of glacial movement and stunning morning scenes. The trekking staff were dependable - courteous, attentive and pleasant and the flights and drives all ran to plan.
Personal service
Well organised, excellent information, personal service. The two holidays I have been on with MK have been most enjoyable and informative.
Excellent
The trek experience was excellent. This was our first trek in India but we are definitely encouraged by the experience to go back.
Superb
Everything was superb, attention to detail, not cutting corners, quality of service, interesting and varied itinerary.
Off-the-beaten-track
From start to finish everything was superb. All hotels were varied and of a high standard; food arrangements excellent and walking was in wonderful woodland areas as well as through villages off-the-beaten-track. Delhi, Agra, Jaipur extension was extremely well-organised. All staff helpful & informative and top quality hotels. What really made this special for us was the driver - Bachan Singh who many times went out of his way to give us extra time and additional surprising temples etc. The group of eight like-minded people was just right. Thank you again for a wonderful adventure.
Excellent tour
An excellent tour with very good to excellent accommodation, at a nice pace, plenty to see but not rushed, and we got to see parts of the real India. Chhatra Sagar was particularly good. In Kashmir everybody was doing their best for us and I felt safe at all times.
Faultless accommodation
What we enjoyed was the selection of the places we visited, and the accommodation could not be faulted both in terms of quality but also in the way they fitted so well together. The luxury tents was rated 'tops' by us all; it was hospitality of the kindest and most sensitive.
Excellent
Firstly we really enjoyed the holiday and thought that the pre-trip advice and organisation was excellent. Accommodation was excellent, with the Chhatra Sagar visit the definite highlight. The visit to Udaipur coupled with the trip on the lake was first-rate. The houseboat stay in Kashmir and additional extra visit with the guide up to the mountains was memorable. Overall the food during the whole of the visit was excellent.
