This trek was an awesome, amazing and fun adventure. It was made even more great by the friendly travellers from around the world that we kept meeting on the way and back. Our guides were more than amazing and really made the trip for us helping us every step of the way and guiding us through the paths. It was an adventure of a lifetime.
Arriving at Base Camp Everest after the long and tiring walk was amazing. The view of the tents as they neared were inspiring.
He was a great help. He helped keep the team going.
Take a pillowcase, drink lots of water and try to eat. Enjoy yourself.
This trip was really fantastic, I had a wonderful time. The group was lovely and a real mix of people. I travelled on 28th March and expected it to be cooler but it was more like 35 so check the weather, I think that also had an effect on the effort level so keep an eye on that if you’re thinking of going, the hotter the harder! There is a great range of things covered here, desert, mountains and Marrakech are all very different! and some journeys in the bus are quite long but the scenery is spectacular and it’s a nice chance for a rest.
The Atlas Mountains. It was a lovely walk although longer than we expected and the gite is lovely. Go for the hammam too!
Very good!
My advice would be consider not taking a sleeping bag, I never needed it, there are nice beds even in the desert and blankets are available. I would take a travel pillow as many pillows were very fat and hard! Definitely take a torch and either take or buy snacks as it can be a long time between meals. Take a swimming costume, I didn't and I regretted it, all the hotels have a pool and it's very hot! And book your own flights not with royal air maroc! Every flight was delayed and our flight home was cancelled and I have never received worse customer service than from that airline.
A very enjoyable experience, superbly arranged by Exodus and the local team – I would strongly recommend the trip. While it could not be regarded as very “active”, it was an incredibly “busy” two weeks. The walking, cycling and canoeing were undertaken by people with variable experience and enjoyed by all.
The homestay and walking at Mai Chau region would be regarded as a major highlight of our trip. In retrospect, this was a relatively peaceful phase and a major contracts to the hustle and bustle of the bigger towns and cities.
Tom/Tho – excellent from start to finish, he watched out for our needs and looked after them. How he managed to get 7 disparate family groups to arrive on time each day is beyond me, he did it with ease and without hassle. We will long remember the statement “OKAY Lets Go” and his infectious laugh.
Hotels: All perfectly satisfactory, even the “Simple Hotel” in Can Tho seemed to be of similar quality to all the others. Generally the hotels were well situated near the centre of activity. Good to have the use of a hotel bedroom and bathroom after Ha Long bay and before the train journey to Hue. We did not realise that at the homestay we would NOT have to carry our overnight gear, this was left in the homestay before our walks began. We though that we would be walking with our gear. The cycling through Hue was an experience – how we navigated the roundabouts without getting killed can only be down to the skills of the Vietnamese motorbikes, not to anything we did. Don't expect a lot of "free" time on this trip, there is activity going on all the time and even some of the supposedly "free" times have optional activities arranged that should be undertaken.
It was great fun and interesting and I had a fabulous time. My guide was really nice and fun and I liked all of the activities. The days were packed with just the right amount of activities to do, and also with some free time to do what you like; most of the free time I got I spent with my mum and my friends.
The most inspirational moment on my trip was learning downhill skiing which I had never done before. It is now one of my favourite sports and I hope to do it again!
Annika was very nice and got involved with the group. She was really easy to get on with and made everyone laugh and have a good time.
Yes don't over pack, its all provided!
Most definitely a holiday to remember. Our guide, Zuhair was excellent and given the constraints placed upon him by Exodus, the trip was on the whole an ideal way to travel to the region with a young family. The main disappointment was the lack of genuinely local experiences. The shops we stopped at were of the service station variety. The restaurants we ate at were of the chips and coke variety. The Bedouins we took tea with were happy to welcome us as part of a steady stream of tourists passing through their tent, where commercial goods were available to buy as you exited. The trip was fun and extremely well organised but smacked of a commercially focussed enterprise and not as an opportunity to experience the real Jordan. Visits to Petra (make sure you include the additional walk to the Monastry. The walk up the steps is as memorable as the experience at the top) and the river Jordan site are a must, along with the Wadi Rum desert experience. Aqaba however did not add anything, other than cost, to our trip. We couldn’t shake the very loud western pop music, even on the boat trip. An insufficient number of childrens lifejackets (we only found this out mid journey) and no snorkelling equipment for children, proved without doubt that this was an 18-30 party boat and not a family enterprise.
The best experience we had of the real Jordan was our last night in Amman. Jump in a taxi, head down town and just drink in the city. Souks, shisha, hustle & bustle and super shops for spices, sweets etc and tea at Café Jafra is a must. Enjoy the stress free, well organised and efficient guided tour, but make the most of the “unscheduled” hours of the trip to see Jordan, beyond the tour bus.
Ancient history - Petra - just mesmerising Recent history - the River Jordan - just a few metres of water separating the borders of Jordan and Isreal. Quite humbling.
Excellent. The constant narrative, in excellent English, was very welcome and very well received by all ages. Maybe a few too many religious facts for the younger ones but there were a lot of long drives and a lot of religious sights to visit. Traditional Jordanian stories in contrast with current affairs and the history of the region kept us enthralled throughout the trip.
We travelled in March/April. There was no need for solid footwear, my 13 year old spent the week in flip flops. In Petra, there was a significant difference in the quality of the Turkish bath experienced by the females in the group compared to the men. For the same price, the men were given a far more lengthy and comprehensive time in the baths. I would question the value of the baths for ladies. Don't fill your luggage with towels. They can be hired wherever you are although I don't remember being given towels at the desert camp.
The most amazing and varied holiday! From the Desert, the camel trip, the High Atlas Mountains, the history, the scenery, the people, the colours, the culture…so much to absorb
Sitting on the sand dunes in the Sahara watching the sunset. No artists palette will ever be able to paint the colours, or the scenery. Nothing can replace the memories of the complete tranquil peace
Travelled late March-didn't need a sleeping bag at all-the beds in the 'tents' had blankets. I didn't change any currency before arriving, and found it easy to swap into Dirham on the first day Don't forget swim wear-at least 3 hotels had pools
Great adventure with excellent local guides and porters. The Nepalese people are a delight – so friendly, honest and helpful, especially in the mountains.
1. Walking up to ABC in the sunshine. 2. Walking along the terraces, through villages and talking to local people.
Gum, our leader was everything that a good expedition leader should be; knowledgeable, dependable, caring and resourceful.
Take microspikes in case the walk up/down to ABC is snowy, as in our case.
Without this trip, my wife and I would not have wandered for 4 days in a desert, climbed rock bridges or had a stress free time of worrying about a campsite, food and water. Having a support vehicle for sleeping bags, tent, food and water aren’t cheating when it comes to desert travel – camels would have been used for the desert trekkers even before Biblical times.
Seeing my wife bravely reach the top of Burdah Bridge. Her sense of adventure is growing that she even agreed to come on a trekking trip!
A perfect leader and a true diplomat to Jordan.
Bring some form of first aid kit for a potential blister. Also, there are ATM machines before and after immigration at the airport so you can get dinars for the 40 dinar visa fee. There is no (10 dinar) exit fee from the airport.
Ancient fortresses, monasteries, mountainous scenery and colourful festivals. Friendly, open people, happy to help.
Travel during festival time. It will be the highlight of you trip, along with the walk to the Tigress nest.
Kunthay was well organised, knowledgeable and made a excellent ambassador for his country.
Bring ear plugs as there are hundreds of stray dogs that bark during the night. Driving times are relatively short by Exodus standards but roads are winding and bumpy.
Having just returned from Cycling Indochina, I’m still on a high. This holiday was simply fantastic, with great cycling days, beautiful scenery, interesting sites, delicious food, and lots of laughter. The days flew by far too fast, but because we saw and experienced so much each and every day, it nevertheless feels as if we were there for much longer than just 2 weeks.
The trip was very well organised, and the team leader and the local guides and technical support teams were wonderful, always on hand with a smile to help wherever needed.
There were so many highlights and inspirational moments and experiences during this trip, it's impossible to single out just a single one - so to mention just a few: cycling around Angkor and seeing the local traditional villages, visiting Angkor Wat at daybreak (even if it was too cloudy for a sunrise), the visit to S-21 in Phnom Penh, cycling the lovely little backroads and paths in Vietnam on the last cycling day, high-fiving with the children that ran out to greet us along the way in various places, and the homestay in the Mekong Delta...
Rit is an excellent group leader - I couldn't praise him enough. Patient, considerate, well informed, approachable, always cheerful - these are just a few words to describe him. And he's an excellent cyclist too.
No need to bring your own bike - the bikes provided are great. Do bring padded shorts and/or a gel seat, they're pretty essential. Something to prevent chafing (chamois cream or similar) is useful too. There are opportunities along the way (in Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City) to get some laundry done (it's washed and ironed for you - and it's cheap), so no need to pack too too much in the way of clothes. Around Angkor you'll be needing to put on 'temple clothes' to enter the temples - so bring some light trousers or a skirt to cover your knees - and also bring a top or shirt that covers shoulders. And bring a torch if you want to see Angkor Wat at sunrise - you'll be walking over uneven ground in the pitch dark. Money-wise, just bring some Baht for Thailand, and other than that just bring US dollars - they're accepted everywhere in Cambodia and Vietnam including any and all shops. There are cashpoints in most cities if you need access to additional funds (Siem Reap, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City).
