Chulu Far East and the Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu
Chulu Far East and the Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu
It was a very well organized and run trip. The acclimatization profile was excellent which ended up putting me on top of Chulu far East felling in a strong position. The Phu and Naar valleys lived up to all my expectations, remote and remarkably quiet. On summit day there was only 5 of us including the climbing Sherpas on the mountain. A beautiful and spectacular three week trek.
The only down point was the few days spent on the Annapurna circuit this is now a complete disaster, the much
of the path is now a muddy road with hundreds of people walking up it. It is hard to see how this is sustainable in the future.
I would full recommend this trip to anybody that wants to see the remote areas of Nepal and get a chance to climb a 6000m peak.

The Classic Paine Circuit
Patagonia - The Classic Paine Circuit
I have been on several KE trips and have never been disappointed to date. Pre-trip communication was excellent, and the guides on the trip could not have been more helpful, or knowledgeable.

There are not enough words to adequately describe the outstanding beauty of the Torres Del Paine O Circuit. It was not without it's challenges but the sense of achievement on completing the circuit with a great bunch of fellow trekkers and the guides is something that will live with me f
orever.

From the first point of contact to farewell at El Calafate airport, Luis was both professional and like a friend during the whole trip. He and the Chilean guides (Juan and Yassir) worked tirelessly to ensure everyone on the trip was well cared for and questions answered. He was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the trip, from the geology of the area to the local flora and fauna.

Jordan's Wadi Rum and Petra
Jordan's Wadi Rum and Petra
Trip was very well organised from arrival at Amman airport to departure following week. Guide, support team very friendly. food, hotel, itinerary all excellent. Entering petra from the back entrance so you start with monastery and finish at treasury (the money shot) was a fantastic way of doing route rather than other way round which most people do.

Camping experience was fantastic.. we were very well looked after and made to be as comfortable as possible while wild camping. Guid
e and support crew really looked after us, very friendly, great food and we all became one big group. Yarobk was very friendly, cheerful, helpful, knowledgeable and always went the extra mile to make sure the whole group enjoyed the trip .. he became a good friend and one of the group during the trek.

Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu
Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu

Great range of trips and excellent personal service.

Naresh was a great leader with a great enthusiasm for this particular trip and very keen to share his knowledge of Nepal, its wildlife and its religions. He created good relations with all the group and demonstrated a very caring attitude for all.

The section off the Annapurna trail was lovely and quiet. The lodges we used along this section were basic, but clean and comfortable and we were well fed, utilising a lot of local produce.

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu

All our trips with KE have been excellent - very well organised both prior to departure and by teams on ground at destnations. The local team were outsnading and our guide (Neptli) and the trek cook were truly outstanding. He was diligent and extremely helpful. His knowledge and advice were outstanding and he was really organised and led the party very well. I would also mention the food on the trek was oustanding (Nicholas was the cook).

Great holiday
Kangchenjunga Trek
Great holiday. Very professionally organised. It was all a highlight. Prem was fantastic. Very professional and managed his team really well. Very attentive with us trekkers. Everything ran like clockwork. He was brilliant and with his team really added value to our holiday experience. The quality and quantity of the food was exceptional in the circumstances. I think that a packed lunch would have been sufficient each day and made the staff’s working day a little easier in not having to cook e very lunchtime.

Amazing Galapagos
Galapagos Islands Adventure

The Galapagos Islands have long been on my list of places to visit and this trip was amazing! The guide Sandra was excellent and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for the islands knew no bounds and she ensured everyone on the trip had a lovely time and was involved in all the various activities.
If you have ever wondered about visiting the Galapagos, you should definitely go with KE - I highly recommend this trip 😊

Secret Trails of the Tribal Heartland
Secret Trails of the Tribal Heartland

Vietnam is a welcoming country, everybody was very friendly. The group was a varied mixed of abilities so it was useful that Shi had support in Quang, who was learning the ropes from Shi on our trip. Mr Tu, our driver was amazing, the mountain passes never presented an issue, neither did the mopeds, and there was alot of mopeds! The walks were diverse, with the most stunning views and the trip though the bay was unforgettable.

Bhutan was an excellent trip
Black Necked Cranes and Royal Orchid Trek

Tour Leader, Jigme Tenzin, was excellent. He was very conscientious in every aspect of our trip and made sure we were safe and had an amazing time. His knowledge about everything Bhutan made the trip so much more enjoyable. One of the best KE trips I've ever taken. WIll definitely recommend to others.

The Black Neck Cranes and the Royal Orchid Trek
Black Necked Cranes and Royal Orchid Trek
I consider most of the trips provided by KE to have a good itinerary for the cost. This trip to Bhutan had a great balance between hiking and culture, Jigme our guide was outstanding.

All questions pertaining to our trip were answered quickly and accurately. I believe your sales team is customer focused.

This was our 13th trip with KE and ranks as one of the top two trips we have taken. The hiking was spectacular, and the cultural interactions were something we did
n't believe possible, perhaps due to the small size of our group, five after the two had to drop out. I would highly recommend this trip to any adventurous traveller.

Whole trip was superb, pre departure, location, guiding, food, accommodation, travel. Tour leader was very experienced and fantastic at managing the welfare and enjoyment of every individual on the trip and all of the support team. He really made the trip a success and it was a privilege to benefit from his experience and knowledge of the mountains. Completely trusted him to get us to the top and the mountain safely.

Walking Holiday in Captivating Cape Verde
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands

Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and was good value for money. Every walk was a highlight in its own way. We've been on many guided group holidays with several different companies and Odair is probably the best guide we've encountered.

A great mixture of traditional, modern, city and country side.
Japan: Nakasendo Trail and Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage

My husband and I traveled with KE in October to Japan. So much of the trip depends on a flexible and knowledgeable guide and Pietro was that and more. He was so knowledgeable on the country, culture, food, traditions and landscape of all of the various areas we visited in Japan. The accomocatiions, food and itinerary were all great. Would highly recommend this trip.

Amazing Experience
Bike Jordan Dead 2 Red
First, this was beyond our expectations. As usual we were humbled by not only the difficulty in biking but how amazing the people of Jordan are and their country.
The biking was no joke! Days of steep 30% incline, long days of pedaling and exciting down hills. Sand that destroys your joy and leaves you walking with your bike. Day 2 is very difficult, but rewarding.
Food was fun experience especially if you are a chicken and rice person. They just change the name of the dish to ma
ke you think you’re getting something besides chicken and rice. But we were very well fed!!!!
Scenery, let’s be honest, I felt that I was on Tatooine and Mars at the same time. Sienna is a lovely color but it’s their only color. Wadi Rum made up for that with its amazing sunset and rise. But get used to rocks and dirt.
People of Jordan are some of the nicest I’ve ever met. Always inviting us in for tea and just curious about why we would be biking.
Guides Omar and Mo’men were fantastic! They were not only pros at the bike but were just fun to hang out with! Omar pushed me hard and has given me a reason to strive to be better biker. He was patient and professional, and made us feel safe and secure. He went out of his way to get us some medication from the pharmacy and took care of needs on and off the bike. He worked very hard to ensure we had a great time and we loved our time with him. Mo’men was always there to feed us, water us and make sure our bikes were in shape. He was kind and patient, and did so much behind the scenes. Fadi was amazing and so funny! The driver (can’t remember his name, sorry) was kind and professional.
If you are debating whether to do this trip, debate no more and sign up! It’s worth every bit and you get to see country that you wouldn’t see as a normal tourist and more importantly meet people that are friendly and welcoming. We felt immersed in the culture throughout the trip. This is definitely one of the best trips we’ve taken and had an absolute blast!

An interesting and varied trip through dramatic landscapes
Oman Adventure Trekking
Oman is a fascinating country and this trip gives you the chance to see a wide range of places from wadis to desert to the modernity of Muscat.

Most of the walking is not that challenging with the exception of the two long days at the end. The trek on day 7 involves a lot of ascent and is hard work but is perfectly possible for somebody reasonably fit. All of our group found the penultimate day’s walk a challenge. The last three hours are a relentless descent on steep and rocky
paths where you have to concentrate to avoid falling and, combined with the heat, that made it a very tiring day. You really do need to carry a lot of water.

The camping is basic and be prepared for heat and the dust, a flannel and a collapsible bowl are good additions to the packing list. However, the fact that there is a hotel stay in the middle of the week gives a very welcome respite from the privations of camping.

On our trip, the combination of the guide having to do the cooking and the heat making it hard to provide fresh food meant some of the meals were sparse. Anyone with a decent appetite or sweet tooth should bring snacks or buy provisions at the supermarkets on the way.

Overall it was a great trip with some amazing dramatic landscapes and glorious sunsets and sunrises, along with encounters with racing camels, wild donkeys and processions of goats. The canyons and mountains were stunning and beautiful in a barren, spiky way and the chance to swim in the pools in the wadi, alongside a host of frogs, was a glorious refreshing surprise. The final night camping on the beach with a dawn swim in warm sea was pure bliss.

Chulu Far East and Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu
Chulu Far East and the Hidden Valleys of Naar and Phu

Everything about the trip went well. from the overall organisation to the high quality and experience of the guiding/portering team and climbing team. The accommodation was generally good and comfortable and the food quality and choice was excellent. The trek was well structured from an acclimatisation p.o.v. and as a consequence we had no bouts of altitude sickness when it mattered.
