The holiday was spectacular and offered a huge variety of activities that kept even our 16-year-old son entertained for the entire duration.

It is hard to decide on one thing that was the 'most memorable' - We loved the entire trip! What stood out for us was Ngima and Lakpa's unwavering commitment to our entire team having the best experience we could possibly have. We listened to endless stories about the mountains, the place and other travel groups. We had all our curious questions answered. We stayed in nice and comfortable tea houses each night, with great hospitality where our guide was friends with everyone.... (more)Jennifer Ziegner

Sappa was amazing as was monkey Island Beach resort. Excellent. The company couldn't do enough to help, and all the guides were fantastic. (more)David Chisholm

All the walks were varied, interesting and each memorable

I think my favourite walk was the one which started from Rosas and took
us along the coast through the pines for the first two thirds, so that we swam twice in two different bays before heading off up the mountains.

Memorable parts?
Meeting the local guide in Sapa, and getting to know her a bit. Seeing the amazing local textiles in sapa, and walking in Pu Long.

Local benefits?
Not really. Home stay may be helped a locsl family.. I went out my way to buy genuine textiles from local ladies, but it was an effort... (more)Helen Evans
