Superb scenery, great itinerary
Walking the Wild and Untamed Lofoten Islands
Having fairly widely travelled my expectations were high. This location surpassed them. The two guides were excellent in all respects. The accommodation was significantly better than expected in terms of what a fishermans cabin would consist of. Food was generally good to excellent. The itinery was busy, but worth it because there is so much to experience. Some practice points. Contrary to KE trip notes water purification tablets are not required. Tap water everywhere is drinakable. Be prepared for rain. Alchohol is very expensive.

Curates egg
Cycle Fjord Norway and the Atlantic Road
Excellent cycling terrain, good roads and scenery let down by small group (4 people) 2 very quick and 2 not so. This left the guide on the road with the problem of ensuring the front group stayed on track but unable to cover the slower group as the gap became too large. A map of the days route showing road numbers, turnings and towns would have helped prevent getting lost and back tracking adding extra miles unnecessarily as would better use of the support van (seldom seen when needed) to help t he back markers with direction and to get warm kit out of the day bags on the cold and wet days. I spent a lot of time cycling on my own not really sure where I was going, a briefing describing the days route from a print out from Google the night before really being inadequate.I am aware Norway is an expensive destination but the evening meals at the hotels were not enough to refuel after a days ride, in contrast to the breakfast buffet, which in all cases was outstanding. The KLM flights were fine, but 30 minutes to transit between flights at Schipol on the return leaves no margin for delays. Overall a good trip, with caveats, the guides always helpful and cheerful, with good knowledge of the area. Being a new trip there will always be issues to address

A challenging walk over several summits, not to be underestimated.
Queyras 3000 Metre Summits Trek

This is a challenging walk taking in several 3000m summits. In my opinion it would suit regular hill walkers up for a challenge. The scenery is stunning and varied. The accommodation is mainly in hotels and gives which provide a good standard. Lastly the walk was made memorably good by the guide Meline. Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The lunches provided by her were excellent.

The most fantastic walking holiday.
Best of Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn

The website could never have done this trip justice! It was a truely amazing walk. Enjoyment levels are would definitely be linked to your level of fitness..the fitter the better! The guide, the trails, the views, the gites, the food, the local wines, the mountains, the peace, the flowers, the company were all fantastic. I could not fault any aspect of this trip except that I would like to have kept on walking! Merino wool shirts were definitely the right clothing to wear too.

Great walking in a stunning mountain environment
Walking the Albanian Alps
Wonderful mountains, just think of the Dolomites but slightly smaller and a lot less people around. Probably one of Europe’s best kept secrets, but is going to change, so go now. The difficulties of access, lack of roads and near Himalayan standards of mountain roads will hopefully keep the less adventurous tourist away. Could possibly stand a higher grading, 5 of the 6 days walking require ascents approaching 1000m! If flying via Frankfurt make sure 2 hours is allowed to make the connecting f light both ways, otherwise you are likely to be separated from your luggage for a while and possibly miss your flight connection.

Asian Patagonia?
Trekking the Turkestan Mountains
KE's local agent markets this trip as 'The Asian Patagonia', but with more reliable weather than southern South America. I haven't trekked in Patagonia, but I can say the scenery on this trek in the far south west of Kyrgyzstan is varied and beautiful, making the trek very satisfying and rewarding. The weather was great, too, with a couple of rainy nights, but plenty of blue skies in the daytime. The camps are fixed, set up for the short trekking season, which means when you arrive at camp each day, everything is ready, even if the horses have not long arrived with your bags. The tents are tall enough to stand up in - quite a novelty on a trek - and the mattresses are comfortable (no need for a thermarest). Apart from the highest camp, there are chilly streams running by, which are good for washing if you are used to Northern European water temperatures. We had campfires at each camp, which gave a focal point for extended evening conversations, helped by the relatively long evenings at this latitude. We had two guides on the trek - both very young, so not especially experienced - but both were well informed and had a good approach to their work. They went the extra mile where possible to make the trip more enjoyable. Overall, I was very satisfied with this trek, but there are two related issues to be addressed. 16 in the group was too many to be comfortably accommodated at all times in the dining tents, and the food at camp was hit and miss, which was at least partly to do with being the last group of the season to pass through each camp. Supplies for lunch were sometimes thin on the ground - no bread, for example. Also, at 3 of the 6 camps, the gas had run out, with no attempt to get any more, which sometimes meant waiting around for breakfast and only having half a cup of tea in the morning, as all water had be boiled on camp fires. So I would recommend against such a large group and also against taking the last slot of the season, unless better supplies can be guaranteed. Finally, no yurts in sight, so being invited into a yurt for traditional hospitality was never going to happen. I'm still wondering what fermented mare's milk tastes like!

KE Adventure reply

Thanks for your review. We are working with our local partners to address the issues you have mentioned and these should be resolved by the time the next group arrives. We are so glad you share our view that a visit to this remote part of Kyrgyzstan is very rewarding and delivers varied and beautiful scenery.

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.
