Brian Henning review 4 Mar 20135 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The scenery on the trek was amazing. There is no place like the Himalaya. The Nepali people were extremely friendly. The guides were knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. The other trekkers were great company.


2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


While there are some neat things to see in Kathmandu, spend as little time as possible there. The pollution in the city made my eyes sting.


3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


Definitely. We stayed and ate in local tea houses right where the local people lived and ate. We were immersed in the local communities. Our guides were paid well and treated well even without our tips.


4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Great Trip!!! I would highly recommend the operator.

James Ramshaw review 7 May 20134 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The achievement of getting to above 4000mtres on foot and the View of Mt Langtang

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Be prepared for a hard hike. The first day was no picnic. It is a good idea to get fit first.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


Yes it brought commerce and income to a very poor people. Some I think came as refugees from Tibet. It taught a lesson that people can be happy even in the face of austere conditions. Our hearts bleed with the determination people transported such unbelievable loads by hand and on foot up such steep paths.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


An experience of endeavour and hard slog but a life achievement . Perhaps at or close to the limit for a 66 year old

Simon Geraci review 14 Dec 20114 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Everything from arriving at the airport till leaving the airport. The Nepalese guide was FANTASTIC.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Great place to visit, people so friendly. All round a great experience.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, tried to minimise the impact on the locals by living the same way as they do in the mountains.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Brilliant.
