The people of rural Nepal... and their environment. They live hard lives - in a magnificent setting.
Tips?
Make sure you are fit, fit, fit.
Local benefits?
I do feel there was a benefit to local people - hopefully we left no trace!
Overall rating?
This was a great adventure for me - truly stunning, challenging and fulfilling. (more)Gen Ford
From
£1,350
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The whole adventure was superb and suited our family aged 8 - 69 very well. Walking in the mountains with the entire family group was memorable and those who had not been to Nepal before promise to visit again and again.
Tips?
The trip was perfect and as we were a private group we were able to "tweak" the itinerary to suit us. For example adding in an extra day in Pokhara and then rafting part way down the Lower Seti added a lot to the adventure. The road to Chitwan... (more)Richard Miles

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?
The kindness of the Nepalese people and my guide, the blue of the mountains sitting on top of the green grass...
Tips?
Don't go early september! Its too hot and the leeches are not amazing. Late september is when the good festivals and weather are.
Local benefits?
Yes! So much. I got really int supporting the local economy in Nepal - everyone is so gracious an happy to have you visiting so it was nice to return the favor
how I could.

Highlights were waking up the first morning of the trek and seeing the sun hitting the peaks of the mountains. The sights, sounds and smells of Kathmandu. The incredibly friendly people of the villages we passed through. (more)Jane Brandon
The most memorable part of my holiday: waking up on trek and looking out of my tent at the Annapurnas with the rising sun catching the peaks and the truly charming and helpful Nepalese people. (more)Margaret Pitt

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?
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

Awe-inspiring mountains, glorious sunsets and beautiful views from the moment you woke to the moment you went to bed...11/10! I cannot praise the organisation, leadership, care and ethos of this company highly enough.
(more)Christine Mitchell
This was an excellent trip, very well organised and handled locally in difficult circumstances when we found ourselves in the heaviest snowfall in the Everest region for 5 years and plans had to be changed. Exciting stuff!!! (more)Alan Bellamy
The highlight was the panoramic views of all the key mountains (Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Shortse, Thamerserku, Ama Dablem, etc) near the Ama Dablam base camp. (more)Owen Smith

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

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

Getting to Everest Base Camp and travelling with such a wonderful group of people.
Tips?

What an amazing experience. We had the best Nepalese guide (Tikendra) and support team. I travelled with an amazing group of people, we supported each other through the hard times and encouraged each other when the going got tough! (more)Marie Cook

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.

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!
Tips?
Just let the good folks at Friendship Tours know what you want... (more)Courtney Stryker

Local benefits?
I am not sure.....it seemed this was booked then booked with another company and then booked again with a local company so I am not sure how much went back to Nepal and the people there.

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

White water rafting and seeing the sun rise over the Himalayas
Tips?
If you make any changes to the set itinerary, get them confirmed in writing from the company Friendship Travel because they messed ours up
Local benefits?
It benefitted local people to some extent as the people we dealt with were all Nepali. Chitwan is very pro-conservation so visiting it probably helps the protection of animals there from poachers.

Meeting the children along the way.
Tips?
Take a pillow and a towel and if going at the same time, not as many clothes for the cold weather as I did, as it was not that cold. Take ear plugs if you want to sleep.

Not enough information to assess.

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
