Fantastic mountain trek
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains

Great trekking and peak bagging with superb views and coverage of the High Tatras and White Tatras ranges. The group was one of the best I have trekked with and the mountain hut standards were way above what I have experienced in the past. Landscape reminiscent of Canadian rockies on the Slovakian side which was much wilder. Level was perfect for me. Loved it and will be booking another KE trek soon.

Fantastic family trip with excellent guides
Family Teenage Toubkal Ascent, Morocco

The whole trip was seamlessly organised by the local guides from picking you up at the airport to sorting out any issues you had during the trip. Everything was done for you and all you had to do was be fit enough to get up Mount Toubkal! We took our 14 year old son who easily managed the walking/climbing. The team of cooks/muleteers/guides who looked after us were great and always were there to help. Would recommend to anyone considering the trip!

A wonderful experience in a fascinating country
The Ultimate Fann Mountains Trek

The camping accommodation, arrangements and food were all excellent. All needs catered for. The crew were great, always helpful, and the leader went out of her way to sort out any problems. I would recomment going to Tajikistan before it becomes too popular with trekkers from Europe.

Stunning landscapes and fantastic people
Walking in the Balkan Borderlands

We were so lucky to have a wonderful guide and a group that clicked despite being larger than normal (14) The trip was well organised by KE, particularly the transfers, given the remoteness of the area. Although the trip is designated ‘moderate’, I would say that, particularly at the height of summer, this is at the top end of that bracket. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely be using KE again.

Great holiday in the Alps
Ultimate Tour du Mont Blanc
I loved this trip. Great walking each day and comfortable accommodation with a special group of people. We were a bit unlucky with the weather for a couple of days, so couldn't get to Cabane d'Orny, but our guide Rob managed to find us a great route the next day. Rob was a lot of fun and kept us entertained whilst always prioritising safety. Yeti Lodge proved to be a fantastic base for 4 nights of this trip and the final night barbecue was certainly something to remember. Don't fo rget your swimmers for the hot tub at Yeti!

I had a memorable time on my first KE adventure
High Tatras Trekking - The Carpathian Mountains
As a first timer I was a bit apprehensive of the whole idea, but my worries proved unnecessary. The whole trip was very well organised and led by a really experienced, friendly and knowledgeable guide. Weather conditions meant that one days planned trip needed to be changed due to possible electrical storms and this was organised without detracting from the experience. The only comment is that on day 5 we stayed at the Zamkovskeho hut rather than the Bilcova listed in the trip notes. The stay wa s very good anyway so did not detract, but it might be worth updating the notes. Overall the whole trip was marvellous with breathtaking scenery, good accommodation, great food and super companions.

Great holiday - really well organised
Best of the Tour du Mont Blanc
Always wanted to go walking in the Alps and for a first time decided to go on a guided 6 day tour around the best parts of Mont Blanc. Ronan our guide was super helpful and very entertaining. Hotels were mostly fine but a couple were really good and having your main bag carried for you made the walks achievable. As a general piece of advice Ronan recommended wearing hiking shoes and not boots, which was entirely possible given the excellent state of most of the paths. All in all a great holiday and a memorable experience.

Great family outdoor adventure
Slovenian Family Adventure - Julian Alps
Family of 5 (kids 8, 10, 12), first time booking a fully organised adventure holiday. A friendly call with KE team 2 weeks before departure and we were set to go. The days were brilliant, a good balance of activity with very little travelling. I think all the families left the holiday totally smitten with the outdoors of Slovenia. Our guides, Ales and Jernij, were fantastic, funny, encouraging and professional, the kids are already missing them. A holiday with like-minded families and similar ag ed children, created the perfect recipe for new friends and great memories; totally recommend this holiday. Hotel: stayed in the 3* section, food was fine, rooms clean & basic, swimming pool(s) great, good play areas for the kid to enjoy in the evening. Only feedback, the beds were OK, lacked a bit of comfort. Optional things to bring: if you like tea bring your own tea bags, padded cycling shorts, walkie-talkies What we didn’t need: water purifiers or torches

Fantastic wildlife experience
Costa Rica Family Adventure
Great fortnight in Costa Rica, seeing no end of wildlife and birds- which we knew very little about before our trip. We saw crocodiles, turtles laying eggs on the beach at night, lots of monkeys, sloth, toucans, humming birds, vultures, quetzal and many more birds, whales, dolphins, turtles mating in the sea not to mention lot of large insects eg ants, millipedes, spiders. This was all in the varied and impressive landscape of Costa Rica which is tropical rainforest including the coast of Carrib ean sea, Pacific ocean, mangrove waterways, volcanoes ( though cloud obscured our view that day). We had variety of activites some were included, others extra eg zip wiring, high bridges crossing rainforest, visited chocolate plantation with lots of tasting, tortilla making and surfing lesson. Little earthquake included too. The distances travelled were not too far, climate great with delicious tropical food esp fruits. Lots of rice and beans every meal if you want! We were the only family on our trip so had our fantastic guide, Daniela, all to ourselves, not to forget our driver Johnny. They made all the above happen and be so special for us. Highly recommended trip ( though current exchange rate with US dollar/ Costa Rica colon) made the extras rather pricy.

My best mountain scenery trip ever!
K2 and Concordia
I have spent my leisure life in the beautiful mountains of Western Canada, we are very fortunate to have lots of remote wilderness, wildlife and spectacular mountains. I have also traveled to spectacular mountains in other parts of the world. That being said, the size and concentration of massive mountains covered in year round glaciers in the Concordia/K2 region are unbeatable. If you love mountains and you are in good shape and are willing to work for it then this is a once in a lifetime trip! I would also like to complement KE Adventure's Pakistani partners, they continually went above and beyond all of our groups expectations. They took care of all the on the ground details, personally participated in all the tours they arranged for us, took care of our needs including foreign exchange and got all 8 of the trekking members window seats to view Nanga Parbat on the flights to and from Skardu.

Excellent adventure
The Ultimate Fann Mountains Trek

A great trek with superb and varied food throughout with fresh fruit and veg every day. Good catering for vegetarians as well. Lots of snacks in between. We were looked after really well by Danny, our cook, Faysaboy our interpreter, Nasridin our guide and Natalie our UK leader. They all worked really hard to ensure we had everything we wanted and went beyond their duties on several occasions. Fabulous walking and incredible locations for lunch and camping. Samarkand stay was equally fabulous.

Great Value and a Great Time Outdoors
Tour de Monte Rosa

Are you seeking a strenuous outing in a beautiful setting? If so, you should consider the Tour de Monte Rosa Trek. The terrain is varied and everyday is interesting. You walk on high mountain trails through two countries (Switzerland and Italy) and experience unique mountain destinations. Because the tour is challenging you will not be overwhelmed by hordes of other trekkers. This is a a first-rate alpine experience. I recommend it without hesitation.

Mountains and Bears
Canadian Summit Scramble
If you enjoy impressive mountain landscapes then this trip is for you. The Rockies are certainly impressive with their limestone/granite summits, extensive wooded landscapes and unbelievable turquoise coloured lakes. There's a fair bit of ascent each day but nothing too strenuous and the current trip rating is about right. Strictly speaking the use of the word "scrambler" in the holiday title is a bit misleading as there's not really any actual scrambling to do so make sure y ou read the itinerary to ensure that it's what you're wanting to do. Some of the days are to climb to a summit whilst others are to viewing points such as Passes. As they mainly consist of day trips there's the flexibility to change the itinerary in case of wet weather which can be common as in any mountainous area. Accommodation is fine but mainly in hostel-type accommodation so it's important to understand that you'll be sharing with others and possibly in mixed-sex dormitories. Ear plugs are therefore important items to pack away! One night is spent in a mountain hut which although basic has all your needs and is situated in a fantastic setting. Indeed, when we spoke to local hikers they were pretty envious of us so it's obviously a very popular place to stay. Apart from the impressive scenery there's a fair chance of some good sightings of the local wildlife. Whilst there's no guarantee of seeing bears we were fortunate on a few occasions. It's something which is a main attraction in the Rockies and there's plenty of signs on the trails about being 'bear aware' with the guides carrying bear spray - just in case! It's not all about bears though as there's plenty of deer, squirrels, marmots etc that you'll likely spot. If you go in the summer the flora is also spectacular with a wonderful spread of flowers to be seen. The kit list is probably right so nothing else to add. There is plenty of opportunities to do some laundry so you don't necessarily need to take two weeks of clothing with you. If you're travelling in the summer make sure you take mossie spray as they can be a bit of a pest. Depending upon the time of the year as well it's possibly a good idea to make sure you've water bottles or other drinking equipment to allow 2 litres of water to be carried as there's not a lot of opportunities to get water on the trips. Where it is available is best to carry some water purification tablets as recommended in the trip notes. It's unlikely that you'll have the same guides as we did on the Aug 19 trip but Phil and Patrik were exceptional in looking after us. They worked tirelessly in preparing both breakfast (and on quite a few days dinner) as well as leading us on the hikes and driving us around. It's important therefore to be prepared to muck-in and help with the washing-up, packing etc as the guides are very busy. The trip notes don't give any recommendations on the level of tipping but we gave around 5 dollars per day to each guide so if you do end up having two guides (two are required when there's more than 6 trekkers) it's a fair proportion of your overall spending money. On the subject of spending money the recommended value of around £300 is about right but you might need a bit more if you're buying beers or selecting the more expensive menu options in the restaurants. Everywhere however takes credit/debit cards so I wouldn't recommend taking more cash than the recommended amount. Tipping of course is a big part of the dining culture in North America so be prepared to add on an extra 15 to 20% to your dinner costs. Also be aware of the local tax that's added to any goods that you buy which isn't included in the advertised cost. In summary, exploring the Canadian Rockies is a wonderful experience and definitely worth a visit if you've always wanted to visit this part of North America.

Inca Trail and Amazon - an amazing South American adventure!
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
My wife and I have recently returned from an 8 day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu trip, with the added bonus of a 3 day Amazon rainforest extension. I could not recommend them both highly enough. It's hard to take it all in when you are travelling but when we sat down on our return and went through our pictures we realised what an incredible trip we had just been on. We are lucky enough to have walked in some amazing places and the Peruvian Andes is right up there with the best of them. Anyone who has a passion for mountain walking would love the Inca Trail. I was worried about the Trail being overcrowded but we were pleasantly surprised how quiet the Trail was - no doubt due to the daily permit restrictions. My main advice to any walkers would be to try and spend a couple of days in Cusco prior to the trip. We had no altitude issues and I think this definitely helped. I know it's not possible, due to time and expense, to add the 3 day Amazon rainforest extension onto the trip but we are more than glad we did. We have been on some wildlife excursions in the past where you are slightly underwhelmed by what you see - this was the exact opposite of our experience. I don't think we ever expected to see as much wildlife as what we did. Overall we both feel incredibly lucky to have had a holiday experience like the one we have just returned from in Peru.

Really fun family week
Family Adventures in the Algarve

As a single parent, I was nervous about going on this trip but needn't have worried: I wasn't the only single parent and the hosts are so welcoming, warm and inclusive. The kids formed a tribe with the others as soon as we arrived, so their entertainment was pretty much taken out of my hands. We had a relaxing week, tried some activities we wouldn't have otherwise and were really well looked after. Tip: take a hoodie! we went in late July and the weather was cool and breezy.

Fantastic
Family Adventures in the Algarve

We spent a week here in July/August 2019 with our children aged 9 and 11, and it was one of the best holidays we have ever had. The activities were great, the food was outstanding but the real key was the passion and enthusiasm of the hosts, and the positive energy that ran through the whole week. There was always somebody happy to talk to/play with the kids so the adults could totally relax (or could play too!). We have returned home refreshed, inspired and hoping for another trip next year!

A really spectacular trek
Trekking the Turkestan Mountains
The scenery is stunning - alpine meadows surrounded by high peaks and glaciers - and the walking every day was very varied. But also, as the camps are fixed with a team of staff based in each one the standard of the camping and in particular of the food was exceptional. The highest I've ever experienced. The whole trip was extremely well run and it made for an excellent holiday. And even the weather was close to perfect - hot in the cities but actually very pleasant once you are up in the m ountains. I highly recommend it.
