One of the best things I’ve experienced.
Trekking in the Langtang Valley was undoubtedly one of the best things I’ve experienced. I followed the trail along the valley to Kyanjin Gompa where the views were truly incredible. Each night I stopped in simple tea houses and received the warmest of welcomes from the lovely local people, as well as some very tasty dal bhat. It felt good to be supporting the communities who had lost so much in the 2015 earthquake but have done wonders in rebuilding their homes and reopening the trails. Now they just need trekkers to return to help restore their livelihood. I encourage anyone to go and experience Langtang for themselves, you won’t be disappointed.
Well thought out itinerary
The trip was absolutely fantastic! One of the best holidays I have ever been on. We had a fantastic and competent guide and the support staff were very personable as well. The itinerary was varied which was fantastic and there were a number of nice surprises like visiting the underwater cave, the aqua hiking which provided much hilarity as we had never heard or experienced such a thing. Loved the pace of the trip, loved the country, loved the staff, and the other members of the group. Special mention also goes to my driver who took us to visit his home which was very special. Top marks!
Sri Lanka 2019
Honestly, they never fail to amaze me with the amount of activities they can tie into one trip! Its hard to write all the amazing things that I experienced into one small review but all I can say if you're thinking about going to Sri Lanka this tour is for you! Hotels were stunning! One even had two floors to it!! Practically an apartment by my opinion! All the people in Sri Lanka are absolutely lovely and the amount of monuments and temples you will be able to see will amaze you! Nothing but gorgeous scenery and delicious smelling food! Only downside is I didn't bring enough bug spray! Couldn't recommend it enough either way!
Pyrenean paradise
The perfect get away for a long weekend. The amazing views, walks, food, and hospitality blew me away. This is a country ready to introduce itself as a Pyrenean paradise to the world.
Gentle Walking Ecuador & Galapagos Safari
The organisation was brilliant from start to finish. As a solo traveler I felt very safe and well looked after while in Ecuador, the guide spoke perfect English and was very professional and made my trip most enjoyable.
Great Variety
A little off the beaten track but West Bengal and Assam were wonderful varied destinations, Kolkata was vibrant and steeped in colonial history and the Grand Oberoi a superb hotel to return to at the end of the day, we had 2 extra days there, I'd recommend at least one extra, it's a big city with lots to see. Darjeeling and Kalimpong a different world of tea plantations, toy trains and spectacular views of the Himalayas. The Windamere is an attraction on its own, coal fires in the bedroom and hot water bottles at night and a 1930's dining room serving excellent Indian food. By contrast the Brahmaputra wound languidly across the plains of Assam, some would describe the landscape as featureless but the scale and light made it hypnotically beautiful from the top deck of the lovely MV Mahabaahu. The riverboat was spacious and comfortable with lovely cabins and a crew who literally could not do enough. The daytrips were excellent with the highlight being the magnificent rhino at Kaziranga, an unforgettable experience. All in all a really excellent varied trip to a little visited part of India.
Cultural Tour Sri Lanka
An enjoyable group tour well worth the journey to reach Jaffna and the Palk Strait Islands in the far north, and Trincomalee on the east coast. There were some long drives to the central World Heritage sights and Galle. There was a nice mix of temples, wildlife and colonial experience. The hotels were excellent and up-market, but tended to be somewhat isolated from nearby towns and Sri Lankans.
Such a great trip!
Trekking along the rugged cliffs and beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean was visually stunning and camel riding among the sand dunes was a memorable treat! Hussein was a fantastic guide, one of the best, and his organisational skills, knowledge and charm greatly enhanced our adventure. I enjoyed the company of our small but select group and I thought we slipped into a very comfortable team. Trekking with Mountain kingdoms is always a pleasure and a privilege.
Relaxed & calm.....peaceful adventure
