Beautiful scenery
It was exciting to travel to a region which has so few visitors, and my guides and driver were as thrilled as I was to be seeing this remote part of the kingdom with its wonderful fortresses, temples, beautiful scenery and endless supernatural legends.
Holiday of a lifetime
Thank you for allowing me the holiday of a lifetime. The two weeks felt like a month and every day was a treasure. The Druk Path Trek is a wonderful experience and the walks beforehand and sightseeing afterwards were well organised, brilliant experiences. I felt very safe and well cared for throughout this exciting program.
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.
Attention to detail was excellent
Prior to the trek the MK staff in the UK were always most helpful. The attention to detail was excellent. As a solo traveller I was confident that there would be nothing to worry about. The trek was well planned and well graded. Hotels well chosen and comfortable.
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.
Extremely efficient
Everything was extremely efficient without losing the personal touch. Fellow trekkers were the most interesting and pleasant that we've ever trekked with. The pre-trek walk/briefing was very useful.
Incredible country
Bhutan and Druk path trek was fantastic. Bhutan is an incredible country and so lucky to have visited/experienced it before it changes. Once again many thanks for everything. We will be returning to Mountain Kingdoms for another adventure, perhaps South America, so much to choose from.
Excellent trip leaders
Both leaders in Burma and Bhutan were excellent. In Burma in particular, the support of a good local guide was essential especially with visits to the various markets and workshops. In Bhutan, Temsing even arranged an archery morning for us which proved to be quite competitive!
Off-the-beaten-path
Being in a small group. Visiting the Haa Valley which seemed to be off the regular tourist circuit. My fellow travellers were delightful. Our local guide Karma and drive Sangay were both excellent and most helpful. I especially enjoyed our visit to the Haa Valley and would recommend that it become a regular feature of trips to Bhutan.
Excellent trip to Bhutan
It was an excellent trip... We really enjoyed the contact that he gave us with his family. We really enjoyed the Paro festival and the dzong.
Excellent holiday to Bhutan
This was an excellent holiday. All in all it is difficult to see how you could improve on this holiday.
I was not disappointed
Émy hopes and expectations were very high and I was not disappointed - it was a superb holiday.
Definitive Cultural Tour of Bhutan - Remarkable
I was extremely impressed with your company's trip planning, itinerary and general organisation. I really loved my holiday. Thank you for taking me to the most remarkable place.
Awe-inspiring scenery
We felt throughout that we were in the hands of accomplished experts in the field. We particularly enjoyed taking a trip that was so far removed from many other tour packages. The tour combined awe-inspiring scenery, local contact, expert insights into a serene way of life, deeply committed staff, good accommodation (for that part of the world) and mostly excellent vegetarian food that is so hard to find in many places elsewhere.
Unique Bhutan
I very much enjoyed my holiday. It was everything I had hoped/expected, and more. Visiting Bhutan was a unique experience.
Bhutanese guides were brilliant
It was fantastic - even better than we had imagined. Our Bhutanese guides were brilliant, and made the tour special both in their own ways. I don't know how we can find a holiday which will beat this one!
Well planned
An outstandingly well planned tour, clearly based on your detailed experience and excellent local agents in each country.
Cycling Bhutan
All the arrangements went well. Good choice of hotels with some local characteristics.
Enjoyable experience
I really enjoyed the whole experience of cycling, seeing the country and the sights, and learning about Bhutan from our guide who was very informative. I enjoyed going to a country which is still off-the-beaten-track and seeing its culture and how it is developing.
Off-the-beaten-track Bhutan
For me, cycling is a fantastic way to see the country, get off the beaten track and have the opportunity to interact with some of the people that you meet on the way. The other tourists are welcome to their air conditioned vehicles - I will keep on pedalling!
