Excellent - A trip that will be remembered forever. (more)Mary Keating
Each country had a memorable moment. Nepal - sunrise at the Himalays and sunset in the Jungle; Bhutan - the spectacular walk to the Tiger's Nest Monastery and our thoughtful, gentle and kind helpful guide; Tibet - Nothing can describe the sense of calm and harmony of the monasteries.
(more)Amy Thakurdas
Tiger’s Nest trip was definitely a highlight but so was the monasteries we visited in Tibet and places in Nepal such as Patan. For me this trip was a dream come true and by far one of the best holidays I ever had.

Memorable parts?
Varanasi was amazing and provided a great stay.
Tips?
Just go for it, you will love it, whether you are used to travelling or not, everyone on our trip enjoyed it and wanted more.
Local benefits?
On the trip we used local guides, driver etc which supported jobs in the various towns and cities. Using public transport ie the trains helped us get to various places easily and economically.
Overall rating?
Amazing, a must do for everyone. The guide was... (more)Joanne Rogers

Memorable parts?
Most memorable would be seeing the colourful flags and rolling the prayer wheels at Swayambhunath, the Monkey Temple, in Kathmandu. From this vantage point there is also a fabulous view of the city. The most exciting part was the drive from Kathmandu over the mountains via Daman to Sauraha in Chitwan. The views were wonderful, the small hillside stops were amazing places to visit and the road itself was...well an interesting mix of hairpin bends; part tarmac part gravel and... (more)Kevin Toner

Memorable parts?
Reaching basecamp at Mount Everest on the Tibetan side
Tips?
It was a fabulous trip, but the pace was quite demanding. Probably the most important tip is to ensure that you take a few dry snacks with you. Importantly, if
you don't like to drink a lot of water, bring something to put in it as we were having to drink three litres a day for hydration purposes at 17.000 ft.
Local benefits?
Yes to a degree. We stayed in Tibetan hotels and spent our money in local... (more)Shaun Casey

Each day was packed with memorable moments, but if I had to pick one day it would be when we went to a very small town to stay in a fort/castle overnight.
It was fantastic. I can't wait to go back one day. (more)Lindsey Lavaysse
Had a great trip... seing Rhino from the back of an elephant was one of the most memorable experiences. (more)jenny hickey
From
£999
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The day at Chitwan National Park - canoe ride and jungle walk and the airplane ride over Everest
Tips?
This is quite a gruelling trip, not much time for relaxation so don't expect to come back refreshed!!
Local benefits?
We certainly contributed to the local economy through use of local guides and non-chain hotels. We tried as far as possible to eat local food. Not sure that we made any contribution whatsoever to reducing environmental impacts - there was... (more)Allison Bucknell

The two most memorable activities were attending the Black Crane Festival and a farmstay for two nights whilst attending the festival. (more)Nigel Hunt
Bhutan was the highlight. (more)Kristin Stjerna
Bhutan was beautiful and Tibet was very intriguing. I especially enjoyed watching families worshipping in temples during festival. (more)Susan Patrick
From
£742
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
I was equally enthralled by the beauty of the Tibetan countryside and the wonderful monasteries, and surprised by the friendliness of the Tibetan people.
Tips?
Mid-late October is an ideal time to go, with beautiful autumn colouring, and fewer crowds than in the summer. You need to be fit and healthy to cope with
the altitude and the considerable climbing involved in exploring the monasteries. Be prepared for some discomfort. A relaxed attitude towards the unexpected... (more)Gillian Gillanders

Memorable parts?
Teaching a class of Nepali 12 year olds.
Tips?
Don't be afraid to step outside your comfort zone, be prepared to accept and enjoy the concept of difference - and - wear a mask on your long distance flights, wish I had. I would also suggest that you don't try to pack too much into your stay - it's too easy to look at everything, but see nothing, because you can't take it all in. Be careful not to go home with loads of photographs but no memories, Nepal is too magic... (more)Deborah English

All of the holiday was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the train journey from Beijing to Lhasa. The visit to the nunnery was fun. There was nothing on my trip that I didn't enjoy so it's hard to choose 1 thing I enjoyed most. (more)Jules Palmer
Excellent....Go with an open mind, an attitude of adventure. It is a different country. You will not find the same facilities as at home. The food is different. But it's all part of the adventure. (more)Yoginee Patel
It was very memorable and exciting, and a good idea to go on a tour through a country that would be difficult to navigate alone.

The whole trip was amazing, with so many fantastic experiences. We really enjoyed the Annapurna trek, in particular the sunrise at Poon Hill. The trekking
guide, Yubraj, and porters were good company for our 2 sons (13 and 14) (more)Helen Feeney
The scenic flight in the Himalaya's was a highlight. The Jungle Lodge in Chitwan was fantastic and the kids loved it. Fantastic break - lots of fun and very interesting. Were disappointed by the Haze/pollution and hope to return during a clearer time of year. (more)Angela Ryan
Don't hesitate, just do it! (more)Philip Langman

Memorable parts?
At the end of each day, I could've easily said "that was definitely the best day". Every day of the trip was memorable and exciting; from seeing Everest, to seeing
wild rhino and elephant in the jungle. The feeling of being amongst the Nepalese culture and getting a really up close and authentic experience is something I
am very grateful to have experienced. Our guide, Ram, was an especially wonderful part of the trip, he taught us a lot and made sure we had a fantastic... (more)Emma Newlyn

Memorable parts?
Finding wild rhinos during the jungle trek.
Tips?
Make sure you do your research in advance about things to do in the areas you travel to. My itinerary often just said "Activities at Chitwan" or "Free Day at Leisure" but then very little would be suggested about things to do in the area. Leaving me to just be spending half my morning searching for things to do via TripAdvisor.
Local benefits?
Local people: Yes, especially in Chitwan and slightly in Pokhara.

The most memorable part was Chitwan National Park. (more)Paul Webber
The close up encounter with Elephants during the bird watching walk, where they were charging back after breakfast was the most memorable part. (more)Gail Robertson
The trekking in Nepal was fabulous as was our stay in the Royal Chitwan national park. It's hard to say which was better - I feel that the trip was really balanced. 10 out of 10 (more)Brenda Rabbitte

Memorable parts?
We did it all during this holiday and enjoyed every minute! We toured Kathmandu; went river rafting; enjoyed scenic trekking; and visited Chitwan National Park where we took an elephant safari and got to wash elephants in the river. The tour operator did a fantastic job planning an active itinerary where we had lots of time for activity but also enough time to relax. I would not change a thing!

The scenery was stunning, the people are so friendly and helpful. The guide and porter provided by the operator were excellent. (more)Sarah McFadyen

This was a very good holiday (more)Shelley Munro
From
US $2,460
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Definitely the most intriguing country is Tibet: the faces of the people, the scenery, Lhasa, EBC.
Tips?
A visit to Pokhara in Nepal is worth the 7-8 hour drive only if you go trekking.
Local benefits?
The wise policies of Bhutan, with the fixed-fee daily rate for tourists (and the royalty supporting local culture, education and environment) make you feel that you are supporting local people ans sustainable tourism.
Overall rating?
A great holiday,... (more)Gaetano Guerreri
