Fantastic trip - highly recommended
Great trip from start to finish showcasing lots of different parts of Sri Lanka. The hiking was great and really got you away from the tourist hot spots. Beautiful scenery up in the mountains and forests, tea plantations, lakes, waterfalls. It was more beautiful than I had imagined. Hotels were all of a good standard, several with pools. I would have preferred not to camp the one night but that is just me! I liked that there weren’t lots of long road journeys and the itinerary was well paced. Lots of opportunities to sample Sri Lankan food. Great wildlife and birds. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard but the safari would have been fun even if we hadn’t as there was still lots to see. Overall, a brilliant trip as you see and do so much in the 15 days.
Most Inspirational Moment
Hard to pick one! Probably hiking in the Knuckles mountain range as you were truly away from other tourists.

Sujee worked tirelessly to ensure we all had a great trip. Everything was very well organised and it was great to have the same driver and assistant for the entire trip. They also looked after us superbly. Always there with a smile, snacks and drinks on our return from a hike.

fun and rewarding trip.
Really enjoyed this trip. I liked the busy pace, the treks, houseboat and the homestay in particular. It was only a small group but we bonded easily over a couple of beers on the first night and that continued through the duration of the trip.
Most Inspirational Moment
Probably the trekking and in particular the third day which covered a lot of ground ending in a tea plantation near to the village of Yellapetty.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent - organised, helpful and very knowledgeable.

Amazing trip Cambodia
Our Cambodia adventure was absolutely amazing and exceeded expectations. Ly was a brilliant tour guide and ensured everything went smoothly. I hadn’t come across the term ‘happy loo’ before, but Ly ensured that there were regular stops. Cambodian people are incredibly friendly and it is humbling to see how happy they are with so little, particularly in the south. Now is a great time to visit as I’m sure there will be a lot more tourists and it will change quickly in the future, particularly with the new airport near Angkor Wat.
Most Inspirational Moment
Angkor Wat does take your breath away.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Ly was exceptional. Our flight on the last day was late afternoon and as we had a three day pass to Angkor Wat he kindly organised for a tuk tuk to take us and wait for we visited an extra two temples. Great advice about restaurants and choices for the evening - Cambodian food is incredibly tasty.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Only one happy loo visited out of many did not have toilet paper so always worth having some in your pocket. It is an action packed, full itinerary, which I like, but worth getting out and about and exploring on your own as well. Our guide recommended suitable laundry adjacent to hotels that charge $2 per kilogram, so easy to get sweaty clothes cleaned again. The cycling was fun and on cycle tracks for nearly all of the time.

Amazing trip on a quiet trail
Great walk along the Langtang Valley. Very quite compared to other similar treks and good quality teahouses. Some long days and lots of up and down particularly on the 2nd half of the trek
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing to the top of Tsergo Ri at 5033m and the views across the whole Langtang Valley. The bakery at Kyanjin Gompa is a must visit
Thoughts on Group Leader
Valerie and the local guides were great and nothing was ever too much trouble
Advice for Potential Travellers
Do the trek while the route is relatively quiet you wont regret it. Also fly out a few days before the trek so you can recover from any jet lag

Southern India coast to coast
Fully immersive into the local culture, the trip takes in the ways of life across a hugely populated and relatively underdeveloped state of Tamil Nadu and the more prosperous and relatively developed state of Kerala. It is not for the faint heated as long cycling days end with relatively modest accommodation and throughout the local food is the only option, and toilet stops basic.
Most Inspirational Moment
The unspoilt beauty of the back roads through paddy fields and the scenery of Kerala
Thoughts on Group Leader
He had not done this trip since before covid. Therefore not as well versed on routes, culture, hotels etc as one would usually expect from exodus. That said he was always helpful, organised and keen to see everyone ok.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be ready for a full immersion into India - and happy with a lack of sophistication

An abundance of adventure
I had a great trip, despite unfortunately not being able to visit Panama due to the ongoing protests. We had 5 days in Nicaragua and 10 day in Costa Rica, every day was different and the wildlife was out of this world. The first week was very busy, cycling a lot with many hills, the second week was a lot more relaxed but still with cycling and activities. We went on 2 crocodile safaris which were great fun as well as some free time in La Fortuna, which came at a great time after a hard weeks cycling. Our Leader, Guilermo (Memo) was great, he had a wicked sense of humour as well as being a great cyclist, i unfortunately wasn’t as fast but enjoyed it all the same!
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top of a big hill and then being able to come down the otherside to the sun set, we got to the hotel by Lake Nicaragua in time for a sunset that set the sky alight, in that moment you really felt like you were on another planet.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He was lovely, very funny and was able to interact with all group members, he had a personal touch and got on well with the drivers and mechanics, it was a great atmosphere.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Most places you go take card payments, so you don't need as much cash as you think!
