Kandoo Adventures Anmeldelser 1 200

The arrangement of emergency assistence was impressing which included the transportation and medical follow up.

Kandoo Adventures offers an absolutely outstanding trekking experience in Bhutan because of their professionalism, care, and exceptional service. Their team of guides and porters is knowledgeable, attentive, and incredibly supportive, making this experience deeply rewarding.
My guide, Ugyen, not only provided expert navigation and safety but also brought warmth and positivity, often singing and sharing local culture to uplift my spirit during tough moments. The support crew (horseman, chef, lunch boy, and Sonam the driver) earned special praise for their dedication, with availability, driving skills, delicious meals, and well-prepared campsites that added comfort to the adventure.
The quality of logistics, including well-set camps, delicious and varied meals, and comfortable equipment like high-quality tents and improved bathroom facilities, surpassed my expectations.
My guide had impressive credentials, such as advanced high-elevation first aid, which added a layer of confidence and expertise. The personalized care and responsiveness from the customer service team before and during the trip also contribute to a seamless experience.
The most challenging part of a trek is typically the combination of high altitude, steep ascents and descents, and unpredictable weather conditions. I found that physically demanding sections, like high mountain passes, pushed me to the limit due to thin air, cold temperatures, and the need for sustained effort over difficult terrain.
Acclimatization to altitude is a major challenge, as the reduced oxygen can cause fatigue, headaches, or even altitude sickness, requiring careful pacing and sometimes extra rest days. Navigating steep, rocky paths and long days of hiking can also be tough on the legs and joints, especially on descents. Mentally, the trek was demanding as well. The sheer length of the journey, coupled with physical exhaustion and occasional discomfort from cold, rain, or wind, tested my resolve.
For this reason, and after completing the Kilimanjaro’s Rongai trek (rated 4-challenging) a few years ago, I would suggest that the Chomolhari trek be rated also as 4-challenging.
A big Kadencheyla to all my Bhutanese friends.

From start to finish, this trip couldn’t have gone any better. I was well informed from the moment of booking until it was the to go home. Any questions I had on the run up were answered promptly.

I have to say though, a special mention to our Guide and Porters. Chhesang was absolutely top tier. He was so informative and did everything he could to ensure you were comfortable and well looked after. He always made sure we were kept safe, especially for the Black Yak! 😂 Chopaul (forgive my spelling if incorrect) one of our porters was also great. He was a great assist on the tougher bits and always quick to offer a hand! Also have to mention our other porter who’s name escapes me (again, apologies), but he did a bulk of the work too making sure that our bags always made to to where we were staying.

Now to the teahouses - these were all fabulous! In particular the Ama Dablam Lodge and Restaurant in Namche Bazaar and the Himalayan Lodge in Pheriche. These were both stand outs for me. The hospitality and food offered was great and exactly what was needed after a day of hiking.

All in all I would fully advise anyone to take part in a trip with Kandoo and especially with the Guide and Porters we were lucky to have.

Kandoo provided excellent service and support for our recent safari. Tony was an outstanding guide, whose knowledge and insight was invaluable to helping us fully appreciate and understand the amazing ecosystems and wildlife in Tanzania. Tony was engaging, funny, and safety minded, and wowed us with his knowledge of animal behavior.

Kandoo is on top of things! All was taken care of while I was in Peru - airport pickup, hotels, shuttles, tickets, etc. Guides are top notch and are locals who speak several languages and know their way around.

My only complaint was that Kandoo took my deposit for a trek in Peru in February, which is the middle of the rainy season. They did not warn me of this. Fortunately no one else signed up (they were all smarter than me) so my trip was bumped to a different trek in late March was was, it turned out, still the rainy season,

A brilliant Poon Hill trekking experience. Absolutely stunning landscapes and a good level of walking each day. Routes were well-planned, no problems with altitude sickness. Phurpu Danen Bhote was a great and knowledgeable guide and Finzo Bhote was a brilliant porter!

Brilliant trip. Everything was run to a high standard. 😊

I cannot recommend Kandoo Adventures enough ,the guides were outstanding the professionalism of the whole adventure surpassed my expectations. The team of porters and cook was first class. The whole team could not do enough to ensure our experience on an individual level and group level was genuinely perfect.

Many thanks to everyone at Kandoo for helping me summit Kilimanjaro! I enjoyed every moment of the journey, and that was largely thanks to the incredible leadership of our guides, the dedication of the porters, and the amazing meals from our chef.

Every trip can have its bumps along the way. That is normal. The way Kandoo handled our one and only hiccup was extraordinary. The local folks we worked with were also extraordinary. August and team were wonderful to work with and made the adventure extra special.

My trek to Everest Base Camp was amazing! The 2 guides and 3 porters were by far the most professional people that I have ever been with. They did everything in their power to make our trip a success. There wasn't a time that I didn't feel unsafe or pressured to do something that I didn't want to do! The guides were 100% aware of our abilities and always tailored our speed to insure our success. I will definitely be going on this trek again! Thanks again Kandoo for an amazing adventure!

Excellent experience on Kilimanjaro followed by a three day safari. Our trek guides led by August were amazing as were our safari guides. The local team was incredibly attentive and the itinerary was perfect. Our group encountered an issue with subpar accommodations on our last night and props to the team in London for quickly addressing and resolving the problem. I would absolutely recommend Kandoo and their Tanzanian trek/safari team.

What an awesome adventure!!! All the guides and staff were so friendly and helpful. They all went above and beyond to give us such an amazing experience.

Amazing experience from start to finish! Professional staff and every issue was addressed in full. Highly recommended

Going with Kandoo Adventure to the Kilimanjaro was a great experience. Amazing amazing amazing top professionals . Highly recommended

Things that made our trip included the totally trustworthy and reliable guides who made the experience a lot easier and the chef and porters who aided our daily 5 star living and were totally necessary:) all together as a team they worked to make our Mount Kilimanjaro climb the best experience it could have been! My daughter and I felt like royalty within a highly capable crew! The set up, tents, toilet, great meal variety and quality and daily health checks and run downs of next days travel was impeccable! We highly recommend adventuring with Kandoo!!! Much appreciated guys:) xxx 🙌🙌🙌

Absolutely brilliant! The staff on our ‘expedition’ were amazing. From the lead guides: August & Raymond, to the guides: Dismiss, James, Ciprin and to the chef and waiter and all the porters. They all gave 100% and made the trip a huge success and gave us all the best chance of a successful summit. The food was really good despite the conditions. And each day when we got to camp it was ready for us…

Our weather was not great from day 3-7 but we were very well taken care of.

On the summit and at camps at the end of the day our guides stood out in their very professional uniforms and were always easy to find.

The safari was very well executed and our guide Tony was soo knowledgeable and interesting. In a few sentences he could explain soo many things, from the migrations etc. one of the best safari guides I’ve ever had (and I am S African).

I would completely recommend Kandoo Travel for this Excursion (and frankly I’m looking at what else they do!).

During my Kilimanjaro trek, the guides were very knowledgeable, friendly , helpful and attentive to all our needs. The porters were hardworking and always had camp set up before we arrived.Also I did a 3 day safari afterwards , and the hotels and guides were excellent, I highly recommend Kandoo adventures.

Kandoo took care of all transportation and lodging and everything worked out well. The guide and porters were excellent and the acclimatization process was a great help in getting up the mountain!

This is a British company, but our entire Kilimanjaro ascent team of guides, chefs, porters and other team members were local people. Our lead guide August had summitted Kili over 250 times, and embodied calm, reassurance and wisdom. Our entire group of 11 attained the summit.
