Our holidays are researched and developed by Mountain Kingdoms, sometimes with input from destination experts such Hugh Thomson, renowned Andean explorer, or Kevin O'Neale, Alpine guide. Our trek leaders A number of our trips are led by Mountain Kingdoms Appointed Leaders ( see page 3). Between them, these leaders have led hundreds of mountain treks and tours and have travelled to all parts of the globe. Collectively they represent an enormous fund of knowledge. Two of our most popular leaders: Kev Reynolds Kev is a Photojournalist, Lecturer and Freelance Guidebook Author of 43 books. Kev truly has walked the world and is the first Honorary Member of the British Association of European Mountain Leaders. Come and meet Kev at one of our 2010 Mountain Kingdoms presentation evenings ( see below). Winky O'Neale Winky has been climbing and hill-walking since 1972. Mountaineering expeditions have taken her up many demanding peaks and in 1993 Winky made the first British female ascent of Baljuri ( 5,950m) and Panwali Dwar ( 6,500m) in Gangotri, India. A highly experienced leader, Winky leads our Tour du Mont Blanc and Gentle Trekking in the Swiss Alps treks. Whilst many bookings are made by telephone or online, we always enjoy meeting our clients in person.
