The Indus Valley Trek was an awesome trip indeed! The magnificent mountain vistas, the soulful monasteries, interesting food and the friendly Ladakhi people. Massive thanks to Phuntsok and the whole crew for making this trip unforgettable! Definitely a great introduction to the Himalayas as it was my first Himalayan trek. Though the trek was moderately challenging, Phuntsok made sure it was well-paced and all of us cope well with the altitude. We were very well looked after by the whole crew. Would certainly recommend this trip!

The Indus Valley Trek trip was overall incredible! Impressive landscape, breathtaking sceneries, and friendly Ladakhi people. Could not thank highly enough the whole team for making this adventure a memorable and awe-inspiring one. I have travelled to many places before but nothing quite like Ladakh. It surprised me in so many ways. Phuntsok, our lead guide, did a great job in making sure all of us were happy and coping well at high altitude. The entire camping crew and Yangtso our driver looked after us from meal preps, camp setups and driving us all safe from one destination to another. The trek grading I'd say was moderately challenging due to the few high passes we had to cross each day but all worth the effort. Phuntsok was excellent in setting the trek pace! Visiting the monasteries was also very culturally enticing, we even managed to witness a local festival along the way. The highland lakes in Tibetan Plateau is something that one must see in their lifetime I reckon, got to see the nomads doing their morning routine pasturing animals particularly the pashmina goats. Everything about this trip was flawless. Highly recommended especially if you want a great mix of activities in one adventure. One thing I'd suggest is to add Pangong Lake in the itinerary as the mountain and views are next level! Kudos to Phuntsok and his crew for their service and for showcasing the best of the region! Kandoo Adventures keep it up, you have a great local team in Ladakh!

Just unbelievable. We hiked the Lemosho route and all made it to the top. 4 of us supported by a team of 2 guides, a chef, and 14 porters. Couldn't fault the trip. The work those guys do is incredible. The lead guide, Robert, was so experienced, knowledgeable, calm and reassuring. He was concerned primarily with our well-being, conducting health checks twice daily while we ascended. His assistant, Tadeus, was far more than a capable guide - he told us about the botany and geology of the area.

The food was incredible. How on Earth the chef managed to do what he did - chips, and good ones, at a temporary lunch camp at 4600m - is beyond me. We had three meals a day, all varied with three courses each time.

I would not do something like this with anyone else. Book a Kilimanjaro trip with Kandoo and you won't regret it.

Visited their store, they have a wide range of products, their prices and quality is good.

I have just returned from Tanzania, where I climbed killimanjaro on the Lemosho Route. What a fabulous trip. I can not put in writing how good Kandoo were. A group of 7 people, perfect size, everything was thought of in advance, from the porters running up the mountain to secure the best sites at the camps and amazing food, to helping each of us with our individual challenges from altitude sickness to bad knees! Thank you to them for making it a success for us all. I can not recommend enough!

We did the 8 day Lemosho route which was perfect for our group - not too rushed and giving us plenty of time to acclimatise. The guides were very knowledgable and made sure that we went at a pace that was right for us. Food was good and plentiful. We could not have been better looked after.

It was an excellent trip, but there was no rep to drive with us to Buenos Aires Airport. When we arrived at the airport there was no rep there either. We didn't know the flight number or flight time. We eventually found it by our own devices, but we were late! At El Califati, there was no rep to greet us and we hadn't been told that our guide was advertising a different company. Again we had to do this ourselves by a process of elimination. These issues caused a lot of stress in the airports.

Fantastic , from start to finish . Climded Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route . The service , the guides , the food , everything was just superb . Highly recommended !

It was an amazing experience!
Super helpful guides and porters .

Amazing Experience - I booked the EBC Trek with Kandoo which was very easy from the start. Great communication from the Kandoo team and they provided us with every last detail we needed to consider before the trip.
The guides and porters we had on the trip couldn’t have done any more for us and the trip wouldn’t have been the same without them - Dawa, Mingma, Lhakpa and Chapelle. Great tea houses throughout with a good selection of food, Kathmandu accommodation was also very nice.
We booked the Trek for the end of January which is considered to be off season but the weather was very nice and the tea houses and routes weren’t busy at all. Our group of four were the only people on the trek as well which was a bonus. The only downside of booking at this time of year is that it was very cold at night which a good sleeping bag and sitting around the stove helps with.
I would highly recommended the EBC Trek and booking it with Kandoo.

The trip to Bhutan was an experience of life time. Kandoo was actively in touch with me from the start and managed to put everything together at a very short notice of about three weeks.
The Kandoo crew in Bhutan was exceptional, they were very friendly, polite and organised everything without a glitch. I was fortunate to see the last day Paro festival (dressed in kiri) and the beautiful Thongdrol that was on display until late morning. My guide Kingama and driver Karma took me to a number of monasteries, dzongs and sites in Paro, Thimpu and Punakha filling me with a lot of knowledge about Buddhism, the culture, food and the country. On my insistance, we also tried some local food and drinks. Karma kindly invited me to his home one afternoon where he cooked a traditional meal for me.
We also went for the Jhomolhari base camp trek for which six horses, a cook - Dorjee, assistant cook - Chaddo and Horseman Namgay joined us. They were the friendliest people and fed me the best food ( including cakes, dumplings, pancakes ) - three course hot meals all six days. After spending two nights at basecamp we couldn't go past the passes due to unexpected snow. However, at last minute guide decided arranged an alternative and we went on a day trek to a very remote temple at the other side of Jhomolhari where we stayed for two nights. It was the best experience of my life to meet the Llama who is residing there. It is a very calming, serene and spiritual place, very humbling. We went to a number holy sites - caves, lakes and relicc around the monastery on second day, with Llama guiding us and explaining us everything on the way. I will never forget those two days, it was the highlight of my trip. In a way being snowed under turned out to be a blessing for me. Last day of the trek was bon fire night with lot of singing and dancing by the crew. This was an awesome trek where all five of us were a real team, I did not feel lonely at any point.
10 days felt very short and I have returned with memories of a life time. I feel very fortunate to have the best people from Kandoo to make it unforgettable.

Freddie, our guide, was great as were all of the porters. The cooks were unbelievable. All meals were great, nutritious and delicious. Even had a cake at our last meal was unexpected.
I did not like the fact that we had to buy water for part of the trip. Don’t you know that we need water on our trips?

Very well organised trek thank you! Professional, experienced, and importantly fun guides!

I had an amazing time on my trip to Gokyo lakes. Our giudes were very knowledgeable and professional. It was seamless from the beginning to the end.

I celebrated by 30th Birthday in Mount Kilimanjaro with Kandoo.
The communication was amazing- from initial inquiry to all follow-up emails. It was a very detailed trip. The hotel where we stayed before and after the climb was comfortable and nice sized room. It was quite pricey but very good service.
I did my climb with 6 people from France and 2 people from Canada. The guides and the porters were very friendly. During the summit night, it was a very bad weather but our guides was just incredible. Without their 10000% support and motivation, we would not be able to make it. The food was very good. We were well fed and well-taken care of in the mountain. The guides and porters will do whatever they can to make your experience easier and better. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I was in tears when the whole team sang me Happy Birthday after the summit night. It was my best trip ever!

Excellent customer service guides and porters couldn’t have been better ensuring a once in a lifetime trip

This was made extra special by all the staff from Kandoo, each and everyone was so friendly, helpfull and I woudl do this trip again in a heartbeat, but only with Kandoo. Thank you for best adventure!

Everything was great in our Everest base camp trek: information, logistics, guides, hotels. Totally recommend.

Awesome trip. A little mix up at one airport but overall great.

We had a fabulous holiday with the help of Kandoo. Right from the start they were superb and answered any queries I had plus provided uses information and advise. Very impressed. On the actual trip everything went extremely smoothly and was always ontime. Alex, our guide, was brilliant. Probably the best guide I've ever had. The chef and porters were also great lads. Thoroughly recommend Kandoo
