Fabulous sightseeing adventure

What an amazing experience! 3 weeks, a lot of time spent on the bus traveling, but never boring, always stunning landscapes, often wonderful wildlife, and with the help of our excellent guides, who spotted and identified animals and birds and pointed them out to us, followed up by showing us them in their wildlife books. The nights were spent in a large selection of hotels and cabins. Some were rustic, no electricity, but always comfy and clean. I was so impressed with the delicious food our guides cooked for us for dinners, accompodaring those who did not eat meat. With limited facilities they produced plentiful and tasty meals. I enjoyed the places we visited especially the organised hikes. The only slight glitch, the safari that is included was in the van which would have been unacceptable so we had to pay for an additional trip in an appropriate vehicle. I would have liked a few moe healthy options for lunch, but the r st of the trip was truly a great experience. I would recommend starting in Capetown and ending in JoBerg, otherwise you will have the best animal sightings in the first week, making the limited sightings in the end less dramatic. I would also suggest going to Capetown a few days before the tour, as there is so much to see and a limited time. I will have to return!!!!!

Most Inspirational Moment

Seeing the animals in the wild so close was fabulous. I also hiked up Table mountain alone and that was so worth while.

Thoughts on Group Leader

They were both truly wonderful. I felt like they truly cared and wanted us to enjoy everything. They were genuininly friendly and fun.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go to Capetown a day or ao earlier and def start there, no JoBerg. You will be so excited to see a few animals in the first week as it is your first sighting. If you do it tbe other way round, it will be an anti climax. Def bring a rain jacket and torch. Temps range dramatically...so layers.

Best holiday ever

I fell in love with the Dolomites, so beautiful. Cross country skiing is an awesome way to see the winter scenery. Our instructors were great. Being first timers we learnt from the best, Liz is an excellent instructor both with verbal queues and demonstrations. Fun exercises to learn safely.
It was the best winter adventure and most wonderful Christmas.

Most Inspirational Moment

Breaking tracks through fresh snow, it felt like we were pioneers. A great adventure.

Thoughts on Group Leader

An excellent instructor, very talented, knowlegable and fun.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just do It!!!

Undiscovered Atlas

What a wonderful way to spend the Christmas break!-Beautiful scenery, great walking, a great group of fellow travellers, blue skies and wall to wall sunshine!
My 4th trip with Exodus, and once again they came up with the goods! !

Most Inspirational Moment

Being served chips one evening!! Seriously though, the whole experience was inspirational.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Muhammed was a great leader, but also felt part of the group. Top man and a credit to Exodus.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go in winter-the daytime temperature was just about right-I suspect it would be too hot later in the year for this kind of activity. Take warm clothes and 4 season sleeping bag for the evenings though-it gets cold!!

The best of New Zealand

What an amazing trip! I cannot recommend it highly enough – it showcasts everything that New Zealand has to offer, and despite travelling for 3 weeks it is not enough. We wanted to stay longer, explore further, be stunned by the mindblowing views. From the rolling hills on the North Island to the majestic mountains and fields in Middle Earth and Milford Sounds on the South Island – it is impossible to choose a favourite spot, and certainly calls for another trip in the near future. I loved, loved, loved it, the country, the people and how happy it made me.

Most Inspirational Moment

I cannot pick a most inspirational moment, but Mount Aspiring National Park, Milford Sound and Mount Cook left quite an impression - I am in awe. The views! Simply stunning.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Fantastic leaders. I very much appreciated having two leaders, both very friendly, approachable, fun and entertaining and of course, knowledgeable about flora and fauna. Both were a treasure!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for mindblowing views.

A Fantastic Trip

This was a great trip for me as a novice traveller to India. I was concerned beforehand about cycling on the Indian roads but I was reassured appropriately by Exodus staff and the cycling was very enjoyable. There were a couple of stretches on the trip that were on fast busy roads but that was only when that was unavoidable and our guides always looked after us very well, assisting us to cross junctions etc. This was a lovely introduction to Southern India with a good balance of cycling and rest or other activities. Safi our guide was brilliant as were Viben, his assistant and our driver Santosh. Safi was extremely well organised and reliable and gave us good clear briefs each day and after each break. He and Viben supervised the cycling very well and I was quickly rescued when I accidently took a wrong turn! Santosh was just lovely and always gave us a big smile with our water and gorgeous snacks including our “Dark Fantasy’s”! (biscuits with chocolate in the middle — very clever choice given the heat). Nothing was too much trouble (even trying to get us a turkey dinner for Christmas!) and I felt very well looked after, particularly when I left all my valuables in a safe! Such a stupid thing to do but Safi dealt with it calmly and reassuringly and it was all sorted with no fuss and no loss!
For me the trip was as “described on the tin” but I was also fortunate to share the trip with a fantastic group of people. Everyone was like minded and easy going which meant that everyone got along well, we had a great laugh and I feel that I have met a whole host of new friends.
I have done a fair amount of travelling before and I would not hesitate in recommending this trip to others. The cycling is not difficult (save for Otty hill of course!) and it was a lovely way to see the country and encounter the very friendly people. If you are a photographer there are some fantastic photo opportunities – the only problem is that you have to let some of them pass otherwise you would never end up where you need to get. Thank you very much to Safi, Viben, Santosh and Exodus.

Most Inspirational Moment

Cycling through the tea plantations and then along the coast watching fishermen pulling fish out of their nets.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Relax and go with the flow. Parts of the trip pass through busy bustling cities which can initially feel a bit overwhelming after England.

Coast to Coast - the real India

I have been to India before with happy memories of Rajasthan in 2015 and looked forward to my trip to southern India. Sadly although I love travel and I am pleased that I went, as always the brochures and glossy pictures on the Exodus website leave out some of the things you will see –

The province of Tamil Nadu is generally poor; the cities are overpopulated and crowded. The cities are best described as heaving masses of humanity, the air thick with pollution. The towns and villages lack sanitation, the rivers run thick with waste & rubbish. Cows browse street side piles of aging rubbish in their search of food. Dusty roads choked with constant traffic.

The roadsides often choked with shacks that have no running water nor electricity.

Kerala, the second half of the trip on the other hand is much cleaner but even so the urban and rural environments still sadden the heart. Two days at Fort Cochin in a hotel surrounded by building sites near a local beach choked with piles of plastic and other waste was two days too long for me.

True there were highlights and the landscape ( where there are no people) can be just fantastic. And again the history, religion, and the people are very friendly & so welcoming.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving at a small village surrounded by paddy fields ; a family group, complete with a new born baby sitting on white plastic chairs outside their home/hut, surrounded completely by strewn piles of rubbish.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Stay in Kerala or pick another trip in another country.

Awesome

Fantastic in all respects. The trails were good, ascent and descent almost entirely stepped, nice and quiet . Views were spectacular and the surroundings changes with the climatic zones (subtropical to alpine), plant and animal life was varied and interesting which prevented the trekking from becoming monotonous.
The level of care given by the Guide, Sirdar and porters was excellent. Gum Hari RB were well informed and happy looking after us.
Accommodation was as good as could be expected once on the trails (a long way from modern development), hotels in Pokhara and Kathmando were excellent.
The change from 2 days in Kathmandu to 2 days in Pokhara was a very good choice and indicative of the consideration exodus paid to the enjoyment of its clients.

We intend to go again this year we were so impressed.

Most Inspirational Moment

Standing at ABC amongst the giants of the world. Walking in the footsteps of previous mountaineers/heros

Thoughts on Group Leader

Absolutely fantastic. Great guy . Really cared for the group. Organised everything for us - made life easy and enjoyable Gum the guide

Advice for Potential Travellers

The fitness is important - you can complete the trek, but how do you want to feel at the end of each day and the beginning of the next. 10 days moving some quite long. Make sure you have the right gear and you have tested it and know it. Dont believe you can wash and dry clothes - you cant. A sigg bottle is really useful - buy boiled water for drinking after the evening meal just before bed - a lovely hot water bottle for cold feet ! (helps local economy and tastes better than the chemical treated, sis tablets added - lemon) Be prepared to have a cold wash or no wash especially high up, be smelly everybody is in the same situation.

Amazing trekking experience.

Namaste! When we decided to book this trek we considered several things – costing, availability, timings and fitness level; and upon reflection, we chose the right trek at the right time – it was a fantastic experience. The trek itself is 18 days (with varying levels of distance) through a variety of scenery – from forests to valleys, from large villages to small hamlets – each day is unique and interesting with stunning views of the Himalayan mountains. You acclimatize slowly on gradual routes with a small group and guides: porters carry your large bag (exceptionally fast!) so you just have a day pack with you.
As we trekked in December we hardly saw other trekkers on our route and this made for a more remote feeling: you are embedded in the local culture from the start and to the end. This will be a memorable trip for you.

Most Inspirational Moment

There were several inspirational moments on our trip - passing the Thorung-La pass, the views from Poon Hill, the views from Manang, the temples of Muktinath, the villages we passed through and the Nepalese people we met. I think overall it was the grandness of the mountains that overlook the circuit - they are incomparable and astounding to see and you will be in awe of them. The whole experience hasn't fully sunk in yet!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bikash Tamang was a fantastic group leader - compassionate, caring, funny, friendly and knowledgeable. He made the experience enjoyable and ensured the pace was suitable for all; we never felt rushed nor unable to stop and admire the view and take pictures. Bikash pointed out views we would have otherwise missed, recommended things to try and took us to good quality restaurants in Pokhara and Thamel. I felt safe with Bikash as group leader and reassured that any issue I might have had he would do his utmost to help sort it. He is proud to work for Exodus and is a good representative of the company and their ethics. We want to book another trekking experience in Nepal and I will be asking for Bikash as our group leader (if he is available).

Advice for Potential Travellers

The circuit can be dusty in a lot of places so a buff/face mask is a must - this was a great bit of kit that was used often and saved a lot of coughing. We found that the Steripens we used struggled to work at higher altitudes so take back up tablets for sterilisation just in case. Jelly babies! A good 'pick me up' for when energy is low. A good tip would be to write on the map you're provided with the dates of the mountains you see for reflection when you return - it is also useful the take a photo of the day's itinerary on your camera before you start snapping pictures that day so you know which day's photos are on your camera and can match up to any trip notes you make in your journal You won't spend as much as suggested in the trip notes but take that amount anyway as there's a lot to buy in Thamel and having extra spending money was great for us (practice bargaining as well if you're not used to it!). Don't be afraid to ask questions from your guides! Stop, take photos, interact with the locals and admire the views. Lastly, a headtorch. Some people in our group didn't pack one but I found I used mine often and there are a couple of days where you start in the dark and it is needed.

Hiking Northern Cyprus

I really enjoyed this trip and the group were fun and our leader was helpful. I would have preferred more challenging hikes as the abilities were quite different. I would also have preferred to be able to choose our own restaurants rather than being taken to one of the Leaders choice which wasn’t always good.

Most Inspirational Moment

Really enjoyed seeing the Monasteries, as well as the Ghost Town. The Christmas eve dinner the hotel put on and the party were both great fun.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was nice but not sure he always managed the very different hiking abilities in the group. There were several really fast ones and some very slow and the ones ahead were constantly were having to wait for the slower one and he often went ahead with the faster ones.

Advice for Potential Travellers

The food is very heavy and the lunches were boring (always the same white bread rolls and cheese). So much meat the vegetarian options not always good.

Trekking in the Anti-Atlas mountains

An absolutely amazing trekking holiday! This was my first holiday with Exodus and have booked another one as a result!

Most Inspirational Moment

Loving the holiday/adventure so much, wondering why I hadn't done this before!!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohammed was fabulous! He led the group in a non- dominating manner, answering any questions with incredible knowledge and understanding of everything. He was friendly and very good company and everything he did seemed to go ahead seamlessly.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Make sure you have a good, down 4-season sleeping bag as it gets really cold at night. We had frost on the first one!! If gluten intolerant (as I am) take lots of carbohydrate snacks as rice was the only carbohydrate I could eat.
