Amazing Myanmar
Cycling through Myanmar was a real treat. This trip showed us how varied and beautiful this country and its people are. Go now whilst it is still unaffected by Western customs.The trip was very well organised and executed with a superb local guide. Everything about this trip is stunning.
"Cultural" certainly but not sure whether "Definitive" added much to my expectation or experience!
A relatively gentle but varied and adventurous exposure of this very different and charming country. "Unique" is a much used adjective, but Bhutan really does deserve the description from its flora, fauna, animal, and bird life. But perhaps the most striking difference is in its national outlook and pride - where else does almost everyone wear with pride their national costume everyday, or measure national and individual success in terms of happiness rather than material terms? And the scenery is breath-taking (as is the effect of the many high passes one crosses!)
Amazing Bhutan
Bhutan was an amazingly serene and peaceful destination. The trek was well paced and the scenery was magnificent.
What a joy.
Great bike rides through a glorious landscape - punctuated with golden buddhist temples - fascinating village communities - and the artisan skills of the Inle Lake people. Our small group of 7 - all ages and cycling abilities - was well led by our guide Ney and his support teams. What a fascinating place! What delightful people!.
A heavenly challenge
This holiday fully lived up to its expectations. We had magnificent walking, magnificent views of Annapurna and Everest - and of course many other mountains - and it really was in style, with a fabulous hotel in Kathmandu and Pokhara, and wonderful lodges on the two treks. The weather was fantastic (though I suppose that was not guaranteeable) - and the group of 11 people were extremely good company (that's not guaranteeable either of course).
Annapurna & Everest in Style
The whole experience was totally amazing. We were blessed with fantastic weather both in annapurna and everest. The guides and porters were great and the lodges excellent. We were very well looked after and nothing too much trouble. Dwarikas hotel remains probably the best we have stayed in. Such a unique and cultural place.
Gentle Walking Nepal (formerly Mid Hills & Village Heartlands)
We loved the contact with the villagers - it was a real education and insight. The lodges and their locations were well chosen - both peaceful, comfortable and interesting.
Private departure - Vietnam
I think was one of the best holidays we have ever had, excellent value and immensely varied. The opportunity to walk and stay in village houses in the relatively unexploited Ha Giang province was a highlight, as were the stays in some really quite luxurious ecolodges and a magnificent cruise ship on Halong bay.
The amazing wonders of Patagonia
This was an amazing collection of experiences, with awesome boat rides through to treks with wonderful views of the mountains, flora and fauna, including wild orchids and condors. The eco camp is a very special place, and we loved staying in a geodesic hobbit house! This was a holiday that we will always remember.
Totally Amazing Experience in luxury
The combination of Annapurna and Everest made this a perfect blend of trekking, scenery, challenging walking and great accommodation. Together with this and perfect weather, we were blessed with the most amazing holiday experience. The views of Mount Everest were spectacular and you can really feel the history of the place. Awesome! We have returned feeling both privileged and energised.
