A well organised trip and one off the bucket list

Everest Base Camp Trek

From day one of booking I had nothing but good experience with KE; all my enquiries were answered promptly. This expedition was very well organised and the KE staff on site (Guide, Sherpas, Porters and Yak man) worked well together. A few of the Lodges were lacking in toilet facilities, but that's understandable considering where we were. Altogether a great trip that my son and me enjoyed immensely. Only problem now is where next! :-)

The perfect walking holiday to enjoy the delights of Maderia

Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

This holiday had all one could want: beautiful scenery, testing hikes and nice hotels to return to for a hot shower before dinner! The trails were rougher underfoot than initially expected but not so as to cause a problem. A head for heights is required for some of the walks since one is walking along narrow paths beside sheer drops with only very flimsy barriers, and in some cases none, to prevent accidents. The length of each day is just about right and the lunches provided by each of the hote ls was excellent - indeed too much to eat on a number of occasions. The hotels were good with all the necessary amenities, including in some cases swimming pools and Turkish baths! Roberto our guide was simply first class. Extremely knowledgeable about the island, its geography, flora and fauna, as well as leading with care and consideration for all members of the group. One of the members of our group fell and broke her wrist - Roberto could not have dealt with this difficult situation better. We were fortunate to have excellent weather on our trip, indeed it was unseasonably warm, and the only time I wore my waterproofs was through one of the levadas where water was squirting from the tunnel roof and sides. I very much enjoyed this holiday; certainly more relaxing than the treks I have done before, but none the less enjoyable for that. I would certainly recommend this holiday if you like beautiful scenery, steep ascents and descents followed by leisurely dinners.

fantastic walking, guide, food,weather and scenery

Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek

The trekking in jordan was excellent. Our guide Murad was passionate about his country and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour. The food could not have been any better. Petra was amazing and our photographs cannot do it justice!

It's not a holiday, it's an adventure!

The Great Southern African Lodge Safari

5,600 kilometres in 20 days involved a lot of travelling but the Sunway overlander bus was very comfortable. The food from the mobile kitchen never disappointed. The lodges were all good, some exceptional (Tarentaal/ Desert Camp/ Nata). The guides worked their socks off and helped to make the holiday special. The wildlife sightings were exceptional - saw all Big 5 except Leopard and many more besides. Fantastic experience and have come back already planning next African Adventure.

Excellent experience!

Levada Trails and Peaks of Madeira

The landscape was spectacular, the food and lodging wonderful, our guide Roberto was knowledgeable and fun, and the group of fellow travelers delightful. Each day provides a different experience. The walks are challenging without being exhausting, but participants need to be prepared for steep ascents and descents and some exposure that is fun if you like that sort of thing!! It will be challenging to convey the uniqueness of Madeira to others when talking to friends about the trip. You just hav e to go experience it! This was my first trip with KE and I am already exploring future possibilities for KE trips. Thanks for a great week.

Another world

Naar to Mustang

A tough trek through a range of climates and scenery. Relatively straightforward trekking with good altitude acclimatisation as far as Teri La. The following days to Lo Mantang were much tougher than I expected. Lots of ascent and descent on rough terrain with some unexpected exposure. Perhaps partly the result of earthquake damage. The tents often arrived at our campsite well after we did. This resulted in us pitching the tents ourselves. The food was generally adequate but not as good as on ot her trips that I have been on. There were only three small vehicles available to take us (plus the crew) from Lo Mantang towards Jomsom. This was totally inadequate and resulted in a long and cramped journey.

By Gordon from Nottingham | 31 October 2017

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We apologise for the cramped ride between Lo Manthang and Jomsom. Unfortunately we are not allowed to send our own vehicles for this journey but have to use the vehicles allocated by the local syndicate.

A fabulous week walking in a beautiful place

La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

A tough week requiring a good level of fitness; there are no flat paths on Gomera, they are either up or down! There are some long descents which give the knees and ankles a real hammering. Accommodation was good although ear-plugs would have been useful in a couple of them. Food was good, often no choice but not a problem, in fact not having to make a decision was a relief. Our guide Ancor was lovely, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He never seemed to get out-of-breath even on the steepest ascents. All-in -all a great week, helped by wonderful weather

Beautiful, challenging and very remote trekking Kanchenjunga National Park

Sikkim - Beneath Kangchenjunga Trek

This has to be one of the most beautiful treks in the world, with lots of steep ups and downs, through landscapes which change gradually from forests with distant views of the Himalaya, through pine and rhododendron forests, and finally into the sub arctic zone, surrounded by towering peaks such as Goeche Peak, Pandim and Kabru, and the often cloud covered Kanchenjunga. Camping and trekking above 4000m has its trials, but these were more than made up for by the amazing crew and trek leader Uden Sherpa, by the group camaraderie, and the overwhelming scenery. Recommended if you want a real adventure in real wilderness.

great mountains

Shivling and the Source of the Ganges

This has by it's nature a few days of travel to get to the mountains but it it is split up as well as it could be between road and rail. There are also towns and villages to see with added aarti and other Hindu celebrations. Considering it is a famous pilgrim route it was bare of other trekkers or pilgrims because we went at the end of the season. The first few days are easy trekking but the days to Tapovan and return from Tapovan are on rough tracks and lots of boulder hopping. The effort is worth it as the views are great. Surprisingly I was equally as impressed with the Bhagirathi peaks as with Shivling. If you want a short trek with added Hindu culture I would recommend.

Simply a gem of a trip.

Walking the Albanian Alps

This was a gem of a holiday. Just 3 hours' flying time from London, Albania offers hints of a country much further away from western Europe than it has any right to. From the traveller's point of view it offers interesting cities and friendly people, with sweeping vistas best taken in from one of the many hilltop forts. The Albanian Alps are utterly spectacular, with the boat trip in to them along Lake Koman being up there with Petra's Siq when it comes to creating a sense of anti cipation. The walking is moderately tough, taking 6-7 hours a day and generally including 800 to 1000m of climbing. But the paths are good. Albania is very forested, so quite a lot of the walks involve atmospheric descents through trees. The walker is very rarely too far from a little shack-style bar-cafe, where reasonable sustenance is to be found at a very reasonable price. The Valbona and Theti valleys have a real sense of inaccessibility. On trek the accommodation is straightforward but comfortable enough. The ancient town of Kruje is a fitting place to end the trip, with wonderful views offered from the very comfortable Panorama Hotel. The local operators are well-organised and our guide - Geri - was first class: knowledgeable, helpful and good at marshalling the group. One word to sum it up: "go"! A tip: if you take the included flights allow for a little time for the connection at Frankfurt Airport. Even with German efficiency, the 45 minutes allowed in the original booking may not be sufficient. We asked KE to book us on a flight an hour earlier out of Heathrow. This meant for an early start but also meant we had an extra hour for the connection. Others who did not have that luxury missed the onward flight to Tirana and ended up reaching the hotel in Skhodra at 2 in the morning. Manageable, were it not for the fact that the bus was due to leave just over 4 hours later.

By Michael from EDINBURGH | 30 October 2017

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review. We are glad you think as highly of Albania as we do. We agree that the Lufthansa connection time at Frankfurt looks a little tight and although the airline has assured us it is sufficient, we have erred on the side of caution and will not be using Lufthansa for future groups.

Amazing - better than I ever imagined

Trek Malawi's Mount Mulanje & South Luangwa

This trip was simply stunning. We had an excellent local guide, Eddie, who was passionate about his country (Malawi) and incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much about the history, traditions and general geography of the country as well as just seeing it on the journeys from one location to another. I still can't believe how close we got to the animals on the wildlife drives, again with excellent guides. I don't know how they spot all these creatures that are hiding in the bushes, but they do - so many animals and birds i could not hope to list them all here. When we moved on to Mulanje the mountain scenery was brilliant - like a big bright Scotland! The local guides, porters and cook were all friendly and efficient. Quite steep paths in the heat but there were lovely swimming spots to cool down in. The summit day was more of a scramble than I had expected but that suited me, i was in my element. To cap it all a lovely beach lodge, with boat trip and snorkeling - how can you get so much variety, scenery and culture in one trip! Some of the drives were quite long but there were always so many interesting things to see. Organisation was excellent throughout - I guess this is because KE seek out superb local guides. I loved every minute and am now scanning the website to find my next destination. (Hints and tips - use the kit list provided, you don't need much more than that. Be prepared for early starts and long drives. Drink lots of water, it's hot!)

The Land of the Thunder Dragon

The Snowman Trek

I had very high expectations before I left for my trip, but landing at the Paro Airport in Bhutan, flying between the high Himalayan mountain peaks, blew those expectations away. From the first day to the last day, our tour guides were amazing, and our entire staff went above and beyond to ensure that everything that was needed, and wanted, was taken care of. We were incredibly lucky to have had beautiful weather, with only one or two days of rain, and the views of the passes, valleys, rivers, a nd mountains could never be fully captured in a picture. I 100% recommend to anyone willing to sleep in a tent (a very comfortable tent, though) to go on the Snowman Trek with KE. The food was delicious, the staff was so nice and friendly, both our guide and our assistant guide were very knowledgeable and responsible, and I promise that you will not regret going on this trip. One tip would be to bring chocolate with you though, if you, like me, have chocolate cravings, as it is very hard to find in Bhutan. Other than that, bring a camera with a ton of storage, because there are endless amazing photo opportunities.

A memorable, challenging experience

Bike Jordan Dead 2 Red

Where to start.. This is my fourth cycling touring holiday and I was hoping for something a little more challenging, and this one didn't disappoint From start to finish our guide Anas had everything under control. Not only is he an experienced cyclist, but a passionate Jordanian For those looking for a mix of tarmac and off road, this is the ideal compromise, with a mix of undulating single track, desert sands, demanding uphill hairpins and epic downhill blasts. The holiday is as challengin g as you want it to be, if you don't do any training you'll find it tough, if you're a hard-core mountain biker it might be tame, I'm a regular road cyclist and found it to be just challenging enough on all counts. With full vehicle support you'll not be short of drinks and snacks and for anyone who finds it too challenging then the minibus follows behind, so at least you can still view the same scenery Hotel quality varies, this is a cycling holiday after all, so that's where the focus is, but the hotels & homestays are picked for their quality and quantity of food and none of which disappointed Would I go again... definitely.... with a request as Anas for the guide, his enthusiasm is relentless.

Wonderful Ladakh

The Markha Valley Trek

This was my third trek in Ladakh and it didn't disappoint. It has narrow valleys, wide valleys and high passes with great views of the wonderful landscape. The Buddhist culture is everywhere and we also had a chance to visit several of the locals' houses and watch them herding their sheep and goats. The food was great and the leader, Rigzin, even better with his knowledge of the area. If you want to go to India I would recommend this wholeheartedly.

amazing trek

Jordan's Dana to Petra Trek

Our guide Murat was first-class. He was very well-informed, funny, caring, alert to everyone's needs but perhaps best of all really meant it when he welcomed us into our new family and said we should consider Jordan our second home. Somehow he managed to make all 16 of us feel happy, as well as his 4 helpers and Happy the donkey. We all got on and all felt this was such a brilliant trip...'Best ever'. The scenery was jaw-dropping, the food lovely, the organisation superb etc etc. Just remember to heed Murat when he warns you of slippy slopes at the beginning.
