Bhutan is so different. Mountainous and wooded, where everybody is friendly and relaxed (the Buddist culture, in a relatively underpopulated and wealthy country). Spectacular Dzongs and colourful welcoming temples.
A strenuous but fully rewarding trip, with a diversity of landscapes that culminates with Kanchenjunga South Base Camps that takes your breath away. The outstanding Nepalese people living in harsh conditions and doing their best to accommodate the trekkers wishes.
An excellent well-paced tour of the major cities and impressive sites and monuments of the Silk Road in Uzbekistan. We especially liked the chance to have a free day in each location with the opportunity for further individual exploration. The optional excursion to Shakrisabz and Langar was worthwhile to go closer to the mountains and give a view of village life.
The trek was fantastic. with a variety of landscapes from lush forested hills, dramatic river valleys, a beautiful Buddhist village, characterful tea houses, and amazing snow-covered mountains, especially Kanchenjunga and Jammu, Our guide, assistant guide, and porters were all fabulous, always ready to help and keen to show off their stunning country. It was a perfect trip.
Patagonian landscapes are truly breath-taking. The skies are so wide, icebergs on lakes and the mountains just tower majestically. The Estancia by the lake was an incredible place to stay, the staff and service were exceptional. The Eco domes were delightfully different and run by a wonderful team who looked after us well.
The Nepali people in general and our the guides and porters were a pleasure to be with. The majestic and awe inspiring scenery and the challenges of trekking at high altitude were all highlights.
A truly amazing experience from start to finish. The itinerary was well thought out, balancing tougher days with "easier" days afterwards and giving us plenty of time to savour the key base camp destinations. Our guides were first rate and were able to be flexible depending on the group dynamic. Luckily we had a group that gelled together from day one and I have memories that will last a lifetime.
A splendid trek - outstanding views plus tough challenges. Kangchenjunga is remote - you won't see many crowds here!
I loved every minute of this tour. The weather was great. It was cold but pleasant in Khiva and warm everywhere else. Its the architecture that was mind blowing! I've never seen anything like it. The tiling was exquisite and the colours were so beautiful. Even up on the domes was all tiled! The work was just incredible every place we went. Shaknoza our guide was great and so helpful. She gave us a wonderful history of the country and the important people that ruled Uzbekistan. The hotels we stayed in were very good .Very comfortable and the food was excellent.I did the extra tour of Shakhrisabz and Langar and it was wonderful as it was so different again! We went up into the mountains. Very rural and saw how people lived there.
We loved the opportunity to see such a wide variety of sights with an expert guide and likeminded companions. The colours of the buildings and tiles blew us away and the history was fascinating. The tour fulfilled all my hopes.
