THE TROPICAL SOUTH

This was a great trip with a fantastic guide with lots of variety included from walking, wildlife, sightseeing and relaxing.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were many highlights - climbing Munnar Hill, elephant riding, houseboat trip, seeing the birds (feathered variety :)).

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely wonderful - nice and calm, good sense of humour, checked out the welfare of the group both individually and as a group, organised and able to try and put in an alternative when we couldn't do part of the trip due to a border dispute.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Hiking boots instead of trainers would be better for the hill climb and the Periyar National Park.Need to be relaxed about slow service in restaurants - enjoy the time with your fellow travellers!Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!

ATLAS DESCENT

Challenging cycling, stunning scenery.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the beach in Agadir in one piece felt like a real achievement.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Liz was an excellent group leader. She works extremely hard throughout the trip to make sure the bikes are repaired and that people know exactly what to expect. She is super fit and a really nice person.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Train beforehand. Expect it to be tough both mentally and physically. Bring warm clothes. And a hairdryer. Like tagine as there is not a lot else to eat.

COLOURS OF RAJASTHAN, INDIA

I am afraid I wouldn’t recommend it – it really felt like a package tour rather than a journey. Most daylight hours on the vast majority of days are spent on the bus, and the scenery is flat and pretty uninteresting so doesn’t mitigate the length of the journeys. I was surprised how short the stops were at the sights – for example 20 minutes to walk around at the Taj Mahal.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Taj Mahal exceeded my expectations (which were high) though the pleasure was marred by only having 20 minutes to walk around, so constantly checking watches.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was really a nice chap and looked after us well. I could have done without some of the banter on the coach, but it was well intentioned, he clearly loves his country and wanted to share it with us. The driver was amazing - there is a lot of traffic on the roads and he must have been really tired at times, but he did a great job, and his assistant was also really kind.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Really think about how long you want to spend on a bus in a relatively short holiday, and be prepared for having a fair number of cold showers.

ANNAPURNA SANCTUARY

Very well organised and paced trek. Great guides. Some thought perhaps into evening entertainment. Disappointed that Exodus had withdrawn their allowance to provide some Christmas day celeberation and came from the guides pockets , given an increased supplement is levied at this time of year.Would like Exodus to justify reducing guides / porters wages by 20% when any cost cutting can be acheived in its brochures, the small amount this would have saved is a large amount to this personnel which is totally unfair on then. TUI you should be ashamed ! Pre ordering meals worked very well .

Most Inspirational Moment

Sunset views at Poon Hill and reaching Base Camp at Annapurna , views incredible. Friendleness of the locals.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Passang had a lovely sensitive personality , excellent sense of humour , always happy to help and very patient especially at meal times when clients forgot their orders.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you are well equipped for a variety of conditions in one day. Have plenty of snacks , go with the flow of the group ,

A WEEK IN JORDAN

An amazing sightseeing trip – lots of busy days and walking, there isn’t much free time.  Lots of hightlights for me – practically everything on the itinerary. 

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the Treasury at Petra for the first time.  We did Petra by Night, which whilst quite pricey, is well worth doing for the magical experience.  It is also amazing to see it during daylight for the first time, as well as the high climb on the second day in Petra where you get such a good persepctive on the whole city form up high. 

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent - Kheled was very informative and helpful. 

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take bath plugs - most of the hotels don't have them and sometimes the pressure in the showers isn't always great.  It is easy to change money over there Most hotels have UK plug sockets so you don't need to worry about adaptors.   

KERALA & TROPICAL INDIA

The second week in Kerala was stunning – scenery, birdlife, food, backwater cycling, Varkala beach. Perfect.First week – not so good. Too much heavy traffic and pollution. I have asthma so it wasn’t a happy time as I struggled along 40KM of trucks, cars and motorbikes belching out goodness knows what. I would therefore recommend anyone with a similar condition to acquire a face mask.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved the houseboat. For the first time in many years I actually relaxed and watched the world go by. It helps to have some of the most genuinely lovely people we met on the trip on the same boat.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Vishna was excellent - however one of our party did have a serious accident and had to be hospitalised and flown home so Vish left us to take care of her and her partner. So we had to put up with Safi! I jest. He was brilliant - what an extraordinarily happy man! Quite infectious. Whenever I hear a bike bell ring I shall think of him....

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you have asthma please ensure you have what you need with you and get a breathable face mask. There are no panniers on the bike so, if you have a fancy pants camera like me, you could invest in a camera holder which attaches to the front of the bike. I had to use a rucksack which was hot and heavy.If you can, spend an extra couple of days at Varkala at the end - it really is a lovely beach with great seafood, generally hassle free shops and beer oddly wrapped in newspaper so the locals aren't offended.

DISCOVER SRI LANKA

Fantastic holiday – lots of variety, not too hectic but plenty to do.  Great food too.

Most Inspirational Moment

Whitewater rafting (on a very gentle river) watching the world go by and the locals bathing in the early evening.  The Sri Lankans were amazing friendly and hospitable.  I have never been to a country where so many locals waved spontaneously as we passed.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Roshan was outstanding.  He's the best tour leader I've ever travelled with.  It is no surprise that he won Exodus tour leader of the year.  He was incredibly insightful on Sri Lankan history and culture and gave us a perfect level of detail.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take lots of mosquito repellant.

DISCOVER SRI LANKA

Great trip in every way.  A good selection of activities and could not have seen more of Sri Lanka in such a short time.  The guide, Roshan, knew how to balance being there when he is needed and not being pushy.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved the cycling day and spending some time with the local family.The local games we played at a local banana plantations was also great insight into the local life.Good to see the work Exodus and Roshan had done for the tsunami victims. 

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just enjoy!

ANTARCTICA, FALKLANDS & SOUTH GEORGIA

It was a long way to travel – but it was well worth it, started with a few days in Ushuaia (Argentina) before the expedition cruise started. Ushuaia is a small town with many overpriced so called duty free shops, and outside the town is the National Park – which to be honest was very ordinary.Now to the actual trip itself – the Falkland, South Georgia and Antarctica – it was brilliant, very well run by the expedtion staff and the journey on the Valivov was 'plain sailing'.On this trip we missed one zodiac cruise, but managed to carry out all the other activites.Managed to see all the expected wildlife for that time of year, and great views when land and ice in view. 

Most Inspirational Moment

South Georgia had everything, the scenery, history and the wildlife.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Lynn Woodward - is an expert on the areas visited, so was always able to pass on her substantial knowledge.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Great for wildlife photography.Spend as much time out on deck or on the bridge - you dont know what is going to swim or fly by !(Could not beleive that out of 95 holiday makers on board - there were only three of us 'looking'). 

KILIMANJARO CLIMB - LEMOSHO ROUTE

A great adventure, well organised by the African Walking Company. A must if you like a bit of walking and can put up with a frosted tent in the morning.

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to the top!!Thank you for our guides for the great support and the signing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We did not have a Exodus group leader as the trip was ran by the AWC. I was actually a little disappointed by the service provided by the Exodus representatives. They were not forthcoming with information, missed a floor mat order and on departure day just left us at the airport. Whilst I am a frequent traveler it would have been a little re insuring that someone stayed with us at the airport at least until we all checked in.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be ready for cold nights and warm days and do not give up you can do it!
