Fantastic !
Scenery, People, Food
Ultimate professional, knowledgeable, friendly hard working, inspirational and smart. This guy could not do more to make our holiday a success from start to finish. Hope there is an award for (Global) group leader of the year. Suresh should be the winner !
You gotta get there!
The key really is in the name of this trip – having already done Mt Toubkal and the High Atlas a few years before, I was curious how different it would be. The answer is it’s very similar, but without the altitude and people. Any people at all in fact, other than local villagers. It’s also a lot easier – much less ascent and easier days
There wasn't really an inspirational moment, but we had some fabulous sunsets and sunrises from camp, and lying in bed looking out of my tent at nothing but wilderness is the reason I do these kind of trips. Pretty good views from on top of Jebel Aklim also - well worth the climb.
I've met Hasan before on the Toubkal trip, and while he is never the most sociable of guides, I've come to admire his no-nonsense approach to trekking. While he stays in the background, it doesn't mean he's not constantly watching and ensuring safety, and when problems occurred, he sorted them quietly and efficiently. His approach lies in teaching people how to be responsible for themselves in the mountains, which is a lot more instructive (and safer longterm) than the mollycoddling approach that some guides take. He also has a wicked sense of humour and will happily chat away as long as you initiate the conversation.
This is a great introduction to trekking and wild camping for those new to it, or as an easy relaxing trip for those more experienced. Truly off the beaten track. Don't expect much from the "hotels" (don't expect mod cons like hot water or working light bulbs). But at the end of the trip, the hammam experience is definitely a must (and the only way to get properly clean if there's no hot water in the hotel!). Take plenty of warm clothes (even during the day, you can be in tshirt one minute and 5 layers the next) including good warm hat and gloves. For winter take the warmest sleeping bag and down jacket you can, it can get well below zero at night. Food is excellent and very plentiful, but take a few cereal bars or other snacks, as some of the days can be long and lunch may not be till well into the afternoon.
An excellent trip with the opportunity to gain a real perspective of the scale of Patagonia. This trip offers a diverse range of environments from Buenos Aires to the Steppe to the mountains and Peaks of Torres deal Paine. There is a lot of overland travel but this is all part of the experience. The food and accommodation were superb.
Loved seeing icebergs calving off the Perito Merino glacier and hiking in the very windy Torres del Paine to see the Granite towers.
The group leader was outstanding. Highly knowledgable of both Argentina and Chile. He had a great sense of humour and was very willing to accomdate the different interests of the group.
Take mostly Argentine Pesos, some US dollars and some Chilean Pesos. Additional trips can be paid for in dollars. Food is more expensive than at home so you will need a reasonable amount of spending money.
A great tour around the lakes of Chile and Argentina. The itinerary over the Andes and over the lakes via boats is fantastic. Great food and scenery.
The day cycling over the Andes. It was a tough climb but very rewarding!!! Cycling in Conguillio National Park was also fantastic and a contrasting landscape to all other days - stunning!
The leader and his assistants were a great team, and worked well together.
Pack clothing for cool and wet weather. The first week was cold and wet, and I wish I had packed more clothes suitable for cooler weather both on and off the bike (think of what you're wear when cycling in November in London). The second week was warm and sunny, so save your shorts and t-shirts for that week. Make full use of the local launderettes in Bariloche and Pucon...costs only a few pounds for a bag of dirty clothes washed and dried in under 24 hours. Also, a number of people on the group flights missed their connecting flights and had their baggage go missing which was understandably very stressful. The main cause was due to short connections between flights (e.g. 2 hours in Madrid). Ensure you have lots of time for flight connections; we booked our own flights and allowed 3.5 hours in Madrid which worked ok. Packing some cycling gear in your hand luggage is also a good idea as the cycle clothing options are limited in Puerto Varas and surrounding areas.
A busy and hugely varied week in Jordan. Every day we did something and saw something new – I loved the variety of the holiday and the different experiences you can have in such a short time in relatively small country
There were many - but seeing Petra for the first time really was amazing. And we all loved it despite the freezing weather! Also getting a sense for the dramatic scenery of Jordan in the hills - this was something i wasn't really expecting, but the scenery was absolutely outstanding.
Zahair was a good leader. He was ill during the middle of our trip, which was unfortunate, but overall his passion for his country and his pride in it shone through.
If travelling in the winter months, bring plenty of warm clothes. A sleeping bag for the night at Wadi rum is essential (not optional as the trip notes suggest!).
A great trip through 3 very different countries.
Cycling on sandy tracks through the jungle alongside the walls of the ancient temples around Angkor away with monkeys watching our every move. A real mix of straight roads, paddy fields, jungles, history and cities.
Nice guy
Take less than you think you need - it's easy to get washing done.
This was truly an incredible experience, with great attention to detail in the organisation, health and safety of the group. From the beauty of the mountain range to the knowledge shared by the expedition leader, the Everest Base Camp trek is definitely worth doing!
The tea-houses were basic in nature (as you would expect), but don’t let that deter you as they are very comfortable with an extensive food and drinks menu. The locals are also very helpful and generous! Our group was managed by a leader and 3 other guides, so everyone was looked after.
The most inspirational moments were not just the epic views and getting to EBC, but speaking to the locals at the tea-houses. In particular, we met a sherpa called Passang, who has summited Everest 8 times to date. His stories (although insane), really put Everest in perspective - how tough it is and what attracts people to summit this magnificent mountain.
Shailesh was an outstanding group leader, we were definitely lucky to have him. I'd go so far as to say we have made a new friend. He was kind, respectful and took your health very seriously. Being ex-military, we were in safe hands.
You are very likely to suffer symptoms of altitude sickness on this trek, but managed correctly and these will be significantly minimised. The expedition leader does carry out daily checks on your health and wellbeing and will do the best possible to get you to EBC. Please do take AMS seriously, get the correct medication and seek good advice about its use before you go - fatalities (although rare) can occur. The trek is physically and mentally challenging, so DEFINITELY train, don't expect this to be a walk in the park. If you're generally fit and active, along with positive attitude, you will have the best time!
Had a great trip to the Amalfi coast over Christmas – the scenery was amazing and the walks fantastic. Really amazing scenery and such a photogenic place. Hotel was good (although room for sharing a little small and not really cleaned every day). The walks were really great and a good pace and a little tough for some people who probably weren’t at a suitable level of fitness. The hotel food was really excellent with a great Chef who produced different and plentiful food every day. Was fun watching him cook pizza and other dishes. the hotel family owned and all staff were so friendly and helpful. The only problem I had was getting home as the BA flight was full so I had to take Easyjet and they cancelled my flight and it took almost 2 days to get home – nonone really helped so it was a nightmare!
The amazing hike along the Amalifi coastline - especially the first day when we walked from the hotel to Amalfi.
Severio was a great group leader, very warm and friendly and ready to help.
Some of the walks a little tough for some people and recommend a good level of fitness or the pace gets slower and have to wait for the ones who can't keep up which was annoying for some of the group. If you go over Christmas/New Year book flights in good time and preferably go with the recommended airline BA and let the company book as since I booked a little late this flight was full and I had to book my own flight which turned out to be a nightmare and Exodus won't help if flight cancelled etc.
We had a brilliant week, cross country skiing in Italy. Unfortunately there was not much snow, and it didn’t snow while we were there, but artificial snow had been laid for the tracks so we were still able to ski as planned, just not in as many different places.
The hotel was lovely and the food was really good.
We had good leaders who made every effort to find good tracks to ski, and who helped us all to improve our skills, and the company all week was excellent.
There was a good mix of people in the group, and everyone gelled together really well. It was great soon after we arrived to watch the traditional lighting of the Christmas tree by Nonna, with real candles! Only a whole heap of snow would have made it better.
Andy was the leader of our group, and he helped everyone to improve their cross country skiing. He went out of his way to find decent tracks, not helped by the weather!
These days Christmas time is too early to have anthing like a guarantee of snow in this part of the Alps.
Very enjoyable tour of Sri Lanka, fabulous scenery and lot of distance and varying scenery over 2 weeks.
Safari tour and seeing wild life, elephants, crocodiles, sloth bear, etc.
Group leader, Suresh, gave a great introduction to Sri Lanka and created a lovely group atmosphere from the outset. He brought us to many local spots that we would never visit as a tourist. His upbeat, happy personality worked its way through the group. He went out of his way many times to ensure that everyone's needs were looked after and 'No' was not part of his vocabulary.
Bring a gel saddle if you are not saddle fit!!
