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

The guides know the families who run the Tea Houses where we stayed ,and on many occasions we were greeted as old friends ! Also by being in a small group the impact on the environment and in the villages we stayed was not as significant as if we'd been in a larger group. (more)Jane Elliott
The western and Nepali guides and porters were great - always smiling and ready to make sure everyone was happy. An excellent trip in all aspects. (more)patricia barber

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.

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

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

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

EXCELLENT...The whole trip was absolutely amazing, beautiful sites to see, lovely people. The tour operator was very helpful and treated us very well. (more)Alma Sarajlic
We really enjoyed all of the vacation. However, the most memorable part of the trip for us was the trek up to the Tiger's Nest. (more)Bronagh Purcell

Memorable parts?
Impossible to choose one single part! Staying in Ratmate village and participating in house building was certainly memorable - whilst this was such a happy and welcoming community, it was both shocking and humbling to see first-hand the scale of earthquake damage in the region and the difficulties they face in re-establishing a good standard of accommodation there. All of the trekking was really enjoyable with perhaps the highlight being the very early morning trek to Poon... (more)Eimear Hannigan

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?

All of the vacation 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.

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

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

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

Spectacular flight from Pokhara to Jomsom through the mountains, followed the next few days with biking through some quite stunning scenery in close view of the Annapurna range.
Tips?

weather indeed for the first day at altitude(Muktinath) - daytime was an unusually cold for the time of year at minus 5 C on the... (more)David Ward

The hike itself was great. My favourite section was the day we did the Poon Hill walk and then the rest that same day the path went through lovely blossoming Rhododendron forests, with a nice view over a mountain peek. I also enjoyed the section we went through the bamboo forests and obviously the 5th and 6th day we were hiking up to the 2 basecamps. That part of the trail is stunning! I was also amazed with the great quality of the food that is being produced in these fairly... (more)Elina Van Haver

Just being in the Himalayas trekking was a most awesome experience.
Tips?
Make sure you get a fluent English speaker for a guide and one with experience
and true enjoyment doing what he/she does.
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
