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

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

US $1,150
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
This trip was exactly what I had envisioned. It was a trek at lower altitude than the treks to Anapurna and Everest base camps. That meant that the trek was
somewhat easier than at higher altitude, but was still enough to provide a challenge. In contrast to those treks, it was non-commercial. During the week of
the trek we saw only local people. The lifestyle of the people we saw has changed little over time. Stays were in people's homes, where we shared the food that... (more)Bryan Salte
From
US $1,450
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
The most memorable and exciting parts of my vacation cannot be tied to a place or a thing, but rather a feeling. There is a beautiful spirit in the people that
cannot be captured in words. The world could learn lots from Bhutan about how to live life in a way that is deeply fulfilling.
Tips?
If you want everything to be just like it is at home, then just stay home. But if you are willing to to be open and learn, then enjoy life the way the locals do, with
foods,... (more)Karen Nichols

It is difficult to decide the most memorable, as there were many wonderful parts. Learning about the Nepalese culture as well as exploring the beautiful nature of Nepal were equally amazing. (more)Marija Naumoska
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. (more)Kevin Toner

The most memorable part of the trip was the jeep trip from Tibet down into Nepal. (more)Simon Whittle
The trip is once in a lifetime trip for me. The temples were impressive as well as the landscape and the Tibetan people. (more)Gunnjona Gudmundsdottir

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

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

From
£1,299

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.

Memorable parts?
We did it all during this vacation 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

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?
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

From
US $1,020

Memorable parts?
Being (almost) at Everest Base camp. The views and the countryside are amazing. The culture is strange but educational. And it's cold....
Tips?
Don't expect as good a service as Exodus or Explore. Nor for the accommodation to be to Western standards.
Local benefits?
No
Overall rating?
A good experience but will not be doing it again, either in Tibet or with this operator. (more)Roger Letch
