A varied and beautiful trek - with a fantastic guide
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
This was our first trek in Nepal, and will certainly not be our last! The route was very varied, with the first part climbing through terraces and forests towards the ever-present mountains south of Langtang. Thanks to the well-planned route and steady ascent, there were no problems with altitude going over the Laurebina La - and the long descent into the more Tibetan region of the Lantang valley gives fantastic views. The climb up by the Langtang Kola is different again, and the upper valley ar ound Tianjin Gompa is stunning. Do try to climb up Tserko Ri if the weather and fitness permit - the views are stunning! The trek was made especially enjoyable because of the fantastic leadership of our guide Raja - knowledgeable, incredibly helpful but also just great company - and the team of porters and assistant guides. Overall an excellent introduction to trekking in Nepal, and a lot quieter than some of the more famous routes (from what we understand).

Great 12 day trek close to Kathmandu
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
A varied and interesting 12 day trek, which was very well organised, with a friendly and supportive group of 10 trekkers. Raj is an award winning guide, who lived up to his reputation as a capable, well-informed and considerate leader, ably supported by assistants Singhi and Bhupal, and the amazing team of six porters. The optional ascent of Tsergo Ri was a highlight for me, with stunning panoramic views at the summit, and my first time using crampons, needed due to the ice and snow underfoot in the higher sections. But there were plenty of other moments of awe and wonder in this highly engaging mountain environment. The food on the trek was vegetarian, tasty and plentiful - this would also be a good trek, food wise, for vegans. Some of the tea houses are basic, as described, so be prepared to go without hot water for a few days at a time, and to share squat toilets with the rest of the group - good for the leg muscles, but not always the nose. The hotel in Kathmandu was very comfortable, especially so at the end of the trek. There’s not a lot of spare time in Kathmandu unless you add on days at the beginning or end. Most of us had been trekking in Nepal before and most were also envisioning future trips, so this trip is a great addition to anyone’s Himalayan experience.

Enthralling trip to a wonderful country
Oman Adventure Trekking
This relatively short trip provided a myriad of experiences from a jaw dropping Mosque to fabulous wild walking to amazing isolated campsites to sensational swimming spots. Muscat is a fascinating city and the newly constructed Mosque is one of the world’s great religious buildings. I’ll never look at a chandelier in the same way again! The walking is relatively straightforward but the second 2 day trek is quite challenging especially in the heat we experienced…..4a.m. breakfasts necessary to start walking at first light. The savage wonderful scenery more than makes up for it but hydration is a very big issue and needs to be attended to scrupulously…..minimum 4 litres per day. The campsites were absolutely fabulous and a definite highlight of the trip…..the desert camp probably the pick of a superb bunch. For me, a definite high point was the swimming with several idyllic swimming spots culminating in the last day leading through the narrow gap into a huge “cave” with waterfall….loved it. Daniel our guide was brilliant and no praise high enough for our 2 drivers……you’d go a long way to get better off road driving experiences. Guide and driver also dealt with camping/cooking etc and were often on the go from 2a.m. until 10 in the evening. A point to bear in mind is travelling during Ramadan as we found several sites in the itinerary were closed. Also I feel consideration should be given to having an assistant guide especially if it was a large group. All in all this was a fabulous trip and highly recommended.

Fabulous!
Self-Guided Walking in Catalonia
This has been such a fabulous self-guided walking trip. We’ve done a few such trips - all good - but this one in Cataluña has been the best of all of them.

1. For us, walking from our hotel in the morning to the next night’s hotel, every day and without any transfers whatsoever, was a real strength of this trip. It felt like a constant walking journey spread over a week of walking rather than a series of day walks.

2. The part of France in question - La Cô te Vermeille - is so beautiful. Collioure is a fabulous little town (I wish we’d booked an extra night there). It’s so pretty. Incidentally, the circular walk from Collioure on Day 1 is worth doing, if you have time, ie if you arrive in Collioure in time. Note though that our room in the hotel was not ready until 2pm, so we couldn’t start the circular walk until after that. No hardship - we sat and ate waffles and drank coffee in the beautiful harbour.

3. Crossing over into Spain, and the Costa Brava was fantastic … as is often the case, the scenery “knows” there’s a border, and it subtly changes.

4. The walking was fantastic. Wherever there was a choice of a mountain route or a coastal route for the day, we chose the mountain route, and overall I’d say that made it fairly graded as a “5” on KE’s difficulty scale. The walking was a mixture of different types of trail, from asphalt at one end of the spectrum to scrambling at the other, with everything in-between. However, the sections on asphalt were beautiful and very, very quiet, and the scrambling was never tricky enough to cause any problems whatsoever for someone without scrambling experience.

5. We got a bit of a “surprise” with the last proper day’s hike from La Port de La Selva to Cadaqués. It’s the longest day distance-wise, and we thought it would therefore be across easier terrain, but it was actually on some quite hard going (rocky) terrain at times. Note that although the navigation app for the trip states that there is nowhere to get a drink or food en-route on this day, there is in fact a great little bar at the lighthouse that serves coffee, cold drinks and sandwiches.

6. We didn’t bother using the trip notes for navigation whatsoever, and instead used the provided app (“Roadbook For Discovery”). The app worked perfectly well, and meant that we could enjoy the walking without having to constantly refer to route notes. I also uploaded the GPX files provided by KE to OutdoorActive in case the Roadbook app proved not to be any good, but I never needed to resort to using OutdoorActive - Roadbook worked perfectly well.

7. Food-wise, this trip was great! We had some amazing tapas and meals, and with a couple of exceptions where the hotel breakfasts were a bit “average”, the breakfasts were fabulous (despite being half Spanish myself, I have to admit the breakfasts were generally better in France than in Spain).

8. In terms of eating out, I’d recommend the following where we had terrific meals, coffees, cakes, etc:

Collioure: L’Ambiance Chez Simone La Cafetière Catalan
Banyuls-Sur-Mer: Le Corsaire
Cerbere: La Coba
Llanca: El Floc (doesn’t take bookings)
El Port de la Selva: Can Pepitu
Cadaques: Es.Fornet. Blau Bar

9. The accommodation was good (pains me to say it was fantastic in France; good but not as good in Spain). Special mention goes to La Close St Andre in Banyuls-sur-mer which was fantastically rustic with a slightly unpolished charm and a fabulous breakfast. At the Hotel La Vigie in Cerbere, we paid a supplement at reception to get a room with a balcony. Given the fabulous view, and having seen a room without a balcony that we were initially booked in, it was well, well worth the €55 extra.

10. Even in mid-April, it was getting hot in the mountains. Often, it was dead-calm even high up in the mountains. BUT the wind is notorious (it even has a name that escapes me), and when it does blow, OMG it is amazingly strong. Make sure you pack a wind-proof jacket!

Gosainkunda-Langtang Trek
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
Great trek, quite challenging (lots of long ascents and descents) but rewarding. Very varied scenery, flora, fauna, and culture. Our guide, Raja, was excellent in all respects from professionalism, organisation, communication, sense of humour, and to care of his clients and his porter/sherpa team. The Langtang Valley, parts of which were devastated by the 2015 earthquake, was quite busy with trekkers and mule traffic in contrast to the much quieter Gosainkunda area to the south of the Lauribina La. Overall we had a fantastic holiday enhanced by our guides/porters and our fellow trekkers.

Fantastic landscape and villages
Secret Trails of the Tribal Heartland
I recently went on your trekking holiday the tribes of north vietnam i haven't been on many organised group holidays so was a bit apprehensive. I would like to say how KE and its agency out in Vietnam exceeded my expectations in many ways I just wanted to see the wet ricefields and explore the villages and see the landscapes. IT was really great, The choices of the locations was superb , they were varied, sometimes awe inspiring and despite the misty weather there were fantastic views. Al l the homestays were really good, a great deal of care with the food, always lots to choose from. I really congratulate the team who set up the destinations. The groundwork must have been very detailed. Our guide T could not have been better, so many good qualities in describing and explaining everything whether it was the agriculture , the history, the different village tribes, the background to everything. He was sensitive to our every need and when one of our party was sick he was very caring and reassuring in making some arrangements for her to rest and catch up with the group again when she felt better. He was really good in choosing cafes along the way , making us picnic lunches and when the werather was bad, quickly adjusting the route a bit to avoid the slippery mud. I hope you will pass on this to his boss in Vietnam as he was quite outstanding. . I personally would like to return to some of the places we saw and stay and sketch with friend, rather than moving on each day, but ill have to organise that myself as i don't think you do custom tours ? But I hope to join another of your treks in the future Carpline Pringle

Camel-tastic trip, great for active kids
Camels on the Beach Family Morocco Holiday
We had a wonderful week in Morocco, in the safe and kindly hands of the lovely Mohamed, who formed an instant bond with ours boys (aged 9 and 12), and organised everything faultlessly. Highlights included the camels, extraordinarily varied and well-presented food, even when a few hours walk from civilisation, finding a scorpion at the campsite (really!), the visit to an argan oil cooperative, and surfing. The walking can be fairly strenuous for small ones when it is hot, as there is little shade , but there is a good variety of activities, with something for everyone, and lots of swimming opportunities. Food was delicious and most meals accommodated a picky 9yo (perhaps have a few cereal bars / apples on standby when camping), and when wet and windy weather threatened the night camping, Mohamed effortlessly switched the itinerary to push it back a couple of days. If I would do anything differently, it would be to avoid Ramadan, when it was clear that long days in the heat serving our needs were placing additional strain on the local crew. I recommend a couple of extra days in Marrakesh, in a riad in the old town, at the end!

Lovely limestone, ancient terraces
Secret Sierras of the Costa Blanca

Everyone loves limestone landscapes and this series of expertly-curated walks provides plenty of interest. The extent of ancient terracing is remarkable. Food is generally very good. A KE grade 6 meant I was adequately stretched (I usually go for higher grades).

Desert Days
Edge of the Sahara Trek

Fantastic experience that far exceeded my expectations. Dark desert nights under amazing star filled skies, dreamy desert vistas and great food. This trip spent just the right amount of time in what can be quite harsh conditions. The journey to and from the desert is quite long (7+ hrs) but plenty of interesting landscapes to pass the time. Our crew were great , even during Ramadan which was quite challenging for them. Our group bonded from day one and we had a lot of fun.

Amazing varied trekking holiday
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

A great experience exploring a very varied part of Nepal. The local team of porters and guides were amazing, and the scenery was the best we have seen anywhere - especially our days in the snow at Annapurna base camp.

Fantastic scenery
Self-Guided Walking on Cape Verde

Great walks along old established tracks and paths passing through fantastic scenery, irrigated terraces growing coffee , sugar cane etc, and local communities. On longer walks the conditions underfoot made the a bit more than ' leaisurely'.

Magnificent Adventure
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia

KE was amazing from beginning to end, flights, transfers, accommodation, entry to National Parks worked like a dream. We had a very able competent knowledgeable Guide who was always calm approachable and went the 2nd mile on many occasions from glueing my husbands shoes to kicking stones out of my way when I hurt my ankle ,all done with kindness and good humour. We were also blessed with amazing weather so every day was a delight not to speak now the amiable company.

Cape Verde
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
This was a trip with some of the best hillwalking and mountaineering I have ever experienced. Our guide, Odair, was superb both as a mountain guide and as a source of information about Cape Verde.The ascent ( and even more the spectacular descent ) of the active volcano of Fogo was amazing, with its drama, scenery and sheer exhilaration. The walking on Sao Antao was truly memorable with walks through lush tropical valleys culminating in the stupendous Balcony walk. This was all supplemented by excellent food and accommodation most memorably at Leticia’s place at the base of Pico de Fogo. The trip was not without its problems however. There were serious problems with flights getting off Fogo, back to Praia and on to Sao Vicente. The lack of information as to what was happening over a couple of days was frustrating and worrying. Odair made heroic efforts to deal with these problems but some part of the trip was lost. In short an excellent trip but it might be advisable to do internal travel using the excellent and punctual ferry service rather than travelling by air. It might be difficult however to visit both Fogo and Sao Antao without having to resort to the unreliable and unpunctual internal air services.

Excellent introduction to a lovely island
Self-Guided Walking on Madeira
A very enjoyable self guided walk on a lovely island which was well organised on the ground. The hotels were fine and all the transfers worked well with helpful and friendly drivers. We were fortunate with the weather - warm and sunny with only one really wet day (Day 6). On that day we caught the bus rather than extending the walk into Funchal. We found the walks are not difficult though there is a steep road descent on day 5 down to Calheta. There are always taxis around offering their s ervices! By the end we'd perhaps had enough of levada walking which is lovely but inevitably gets a bit samey. We were disappointed on Day 2 to only do a half day walk on the Kings Levada and not along the coast because of erosion (?). The Kings Levada was superb at the far end but we were not sure why a longer walk could not have been devised while the path is being repaired. The GUIBO app was excellent and we rarely looked at the paper map and route instructions. We arrived a day early because of flight times on the Day 1 we did the alternative Day 2 walk from Portela to Porto da Cruz which was a really nice first walk though a steep descent into the town. As an introduction to the island this self guided walk is definitely recommended.

Cloud Forest, sunshine, and great company, on La Gomera
La Gomera - Jewel of the Canaries

A wonderful week of varied and well planned walks. Enekoiz is a knowledgeable and thoughtful guide who looked after us well and taught us a lot about the island. From the cloud forest to coastal paths there was always something new to see. La Gomera is a very beautiful island with a stunning range of flora. Many thanks to Enekoiz, and our fellow travellers, for a memorable and hugely enjoyable week.

Variety is the spice of life on Spires and Ice
Spires and Ice - Trekking Patagonia
My first adventure with KE and I will jump at going on another. Overall, everything went as promised and this itineary has been well thought out. The 'W' circuit was hiked from West to East, which made for a gradual start with shorter and easier hikes to the climax of the last day view of Torres del Paine, a well earned treat. We had a rain and strong Patagonia winds on our assent up the French Valley, and those with proper rain gear faired well. Note : Those that took inferior rain jackets suffered, but the guides helped with extra clothes and aid to warm up. Accommodation: We did 2 nights as planned at the Paine Grande and this was the least favourite as 6 people in 3 bunkbeds per room. Very difficult if you lucked out and got the top bunk as no guard rail or extra handles to go up the ladder. Quite loud - take earplugs. But this was near the start so soon forgotten. Next 2 sites were in a 'car' tent up on a platform with a sheltered ladder to access. I really liked this over the traditional crawl on the ground into the tent. It was comfortable but don't forget your headlamp as very dark inside. Other lodges were all very cosy and comfortable with private bathrooms. Food- WOW, if you love lamb or beef, this is the tour for you. Every included dinner was exceptional, often with all you could eat lamb, cooked to perfection. Lunches on the trail included a large sandwich or empanadas or both, salad, dried or fresh fruit, trail bar, nuts. We often had too much and would give back the excess. Even the heartiest eater did not ever go hungry. We often joked we were eating our way through Argentina and Chile, and glad we were hiking to wear off excess calories. Guides- We had 2 Chile guides while on the W circuit, and 1 Argentinean guide for Fitz Roy area and all were exceptional and interacted with everyone in the group. I can't say enough great compliments on our KE guide- Louis. Exceptional, making friends with everyone as he met us on Day 1 at the airport to saying goodbye. He melded the group and catered to everyone's needs and always made sure we were having the time of our lives. My vote for Guide of the Year. His daily explanation of what we were doing and what we should expect was often repeated. A best friend to all of us. Hints- Chile and Argentina have different plugs. Take small bills for tips- US dollars also works everywhere, including the W circuit, but need to be in good condition. There are electrical outlets at every site on the W circuit.

A trek to savour.
Jebel Sahro Walking Holiday
I did the Edge of the Sahara trek immediately before this one so as to avoid flying more than necessary. It was thoroughly enjoyable, with much to see and treasure as memories, challenging in parts (including a less than spacious toilet tent!), the last day being a bit of a long, hot march. On the whole I preferred the Sahara trek, but the Jebel Sahro scenery was spectacular, and it was good to get some idea of how people live and farm in those dry mountains, and their tough lives. There were ni ne or ten of us doing the trek, and rarely have I enjoyed time with such lovely companions - that is of course never guaranteed, but I was in luck! The food on the trek was excellent and worked out well for a vegetarian such as I, although I did get forgotten for one dinner and had to ask for another bowl of soup rather than the meaty tajine offered. A note of caution - you may be taken to a "Berber pharmacy" on the return journey to Marrakech, where they also exist in the souk. They sell all kinds of herbal medicines of potentially dubious merit, but one thing that is sold is musk. The pharmacists will tell you that the musk is obtained from musk deer but without harming them. This is in all likelihood not true - musk deer are killed for their glands. Please don't buy musk.
