“Excellent service and prompt response especially from the owner and CEO of this travel company. We had a great experience during Annapurna Base Camp trek. Our porters and our guide were awesome! They went out of their way to make us feel safe, comfortable and we had to keep changing itineraries to accommodate all the things we want to do including paragliding. I highly recommend them for their knowledge of the Himalayas, 17 years of operating expertise and experience. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
The first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail

“During the first phase of the Great Himalaya Trail Trek, which was from Kanchenjunga South Base Camp to Makalu Base Camp, we encountered breathtaking landscapes and difficult terrain. The sherpas who accompanied us were invaluable, sharing their knowledge and expertise and adding cultural richness to our adventure. They pointed out hidden waterfalls and offered valuable insights, making the journey both physically challenging and culturally enriching. As we continued on to the next phase of the trek, from Makalu Base Camp to Everest Base Camp, the scenery became even more awe-inspiring. The towering peaks of the Himalayas surrounded us, their snow-capped summits glistening in the sunlight. We navigated through rocky terrain and crossed icy rivers, relying on our sherpa guides to lead the way. Their unwavering support and encouragement motivated us to push through the physical challenges and reach new heights. Each day brought new experiences and opportunities for personal growth, strengthening our bond as a team and deepening our appreciation for the natural beauty of the region.”
Everest Base Camp Success!

“Our 10-day Everest Base Camp trek with helicopter return was an experience of a lifetime! The itinerary was just right. It was a challenging adventure but not overwhelming. The acclimatization days were incredible, and the final hike to Kala Patthar for the best views of Mt Everest was the cherry on top of a very large and delicious sundae! Also, the ‘Everest Highway’ is something to be experienced firsthand.”
Asia is a relatively large continent, so there are a wide variety of destinations to explore. Therefore, if you are planning a multi-country trip to Asia, the first thing you need to prepare is the list of countries you are interested in along with your starting and ending points. You would also need to decide on the best time for your trip depending on seasonal variations that affect each country.
After finalizing when and where to travel in Asia, you should make arrangements for all the necessary travel documents. These would include visas, insurances, Covid-19 test reports, vaccine cards, and so on.
Asia has more than enough destinations to meet every traveler’s needs and desires. If you are into adventure, look no further than the mighty Himalayas. Go on an exhilarating hike to the base camp of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, or head for the Indian states of Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh instead. Thailand, with its blend of dazzling nightlife, rich history, and striking monuments, is the perfect destination not just for those who wish to let their hair down but also for travelers looking forward to being part of a memorable cultural experience.
Go on a tour to Cambodia, home to the monumental Angkor Wat, if you are into off-the-beaten-path destinations, or choose a Japan tour if you wish to discover how traditions and modernity can be seamlessly blended. The Maldives, with its numerous islands and beaches, is sure to provide you with countless opportunities to kick back on sandy stretches, swim in turquoise waters, and go island-hopping, while the rainforests of Malaysia and Indonesia are a haven for wildlife enthusiasts.
There are several factors that determine the amount of money you will spend during your Asia tour. These include the countries you wish to visit, the length of your trip, the type of tour you have chosen (group, private, luxury and budget) as well as other expenses like insurance, visas, and transportation.
Laos is probably the cheapest destination in Asia, with an average daily expense of USD 23 per person. India is yet another budget-friendly destination in the region when it comes to foreigners. Expect to spend between USD 35 to USD 40 per person, per day if you are a mid-range traveler. The average daily expense in Cambodia is slightly higher, at USD 50 per person. Japan and Singapore, on the other hand, are some of the most expensive destinations on the planet. On average, travelers should expect to shell out USD 130 dollars per person, per day while in these countries.
English is a widely spoken language in Asia, which means that you would not have much difficulty conversing with locals during your trip. Singapore ranks the highest in terms of its proficiency in the English language. The Philippines comes second, followed by Malaysia. Other countries where you will not face much trouble if you can speak English are South Korea, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, China, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
You will find that English is part of life of a section of the population in all these countries. They have road signs in English (along with those in their native languages) as well as English newspapers. Public announcements are often translated into English in these countries, and it is not difficult to come across store banners and product labels written in the language. In addition to all this, locals are also accustomed to tourists, which means they can at least carry out basic conversations in the language.
However, please keep in mind that it is the urban population in the continent that has had the most exposure to the language and is better at communicating in it. The more you travel to the countryside, the fewer English speakers you will meet.
A seven-day Asia trip can give you a taste of the general highlights of two countries at most. Go for destinations in the same region, like Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos, if you are planning a week-long vacation to save time. A two-week trip gives you the opportunity to carry out an in-depth exploration of three countries. If you want to cast your net further and cover more ground, then a month-long sojourn would be ideal. This duration is enough to cover everything from the futuristic Tokyo to the backwaters of Kerala and the vast, arid landscapes of Kazakhstan.
Ideally, we suggest that you spend around three weeks in the continent if you wish to get under the skin of its cultures and people.
Depending on the region you wish to cover, you can carry out an Asia tour at any time of year.
Countries like Cambodia and Sri Lanka experience warm and sunny weather between January and March, making them perfect for beach stays and island hopping. From April to August, Thailand and Vietnam are the best places to visit as both these countries experience balmy tropical weather accompanied by a gentle sea breeze.
The period between September and December, on the other hand, marks the transition from monsoon to winter in many Asian countries. Therefore, this would be the best time to engage in activities like trekking in Nepal or sightseeing in India.
Asia does not lack destinations that are pleasing to the eye. Consequently, it is hard to determine which country is the prettiest. If you are into island getaways, the stunning blue waters and picturesque sandy beaches of the Maldives are sure to impress you. The Himalayan region of India, Nepal, and Bhutan will definitely take your breath away with its expansive scenery of towering cliffs that include some of the highest mountains in the world. Culture vultures will have a field day in historic locations throughout the Indian subcontinent as well as Southeast Asia, while Japan impresses tech geeks with its futuristic, neon-drenched cities.
