Asia Camping Trips

I loved Bhutan! Its scenery, culture, awe-inspiring monasteries and temples, and lovely welcoming people all added to the experience. Our guide, Sonam, was awesome - very knowledgeable, intelligent, caring and fun. The camp equipment, jacket and sleeping bags were first class and the trek crew were very professional and totally committed to our comfort and enjoyment. The food was delicious and healthy. We added an extra three nights onto the end of the trek to travel to Punakha and the Phobjikha Valley, and are very glad we did. It gave us an opportunity to see the amazing Punakha Dzong and some different parts of the country.

This is one of the most enjoyable treks that I have been on.all aspects of the trek was of the highest quality.The local provider is the best I have experienced with exceptional staffing,organisation,quality of guide,attention to well being and detail.They are flexible when needed and able to customise the trip.We added a few more days and things to see and do.This improved our experience. I would highly recommend this trip.

Really enjoyed the tour, and would highly recommend it - a great overview of the key sights of this fascinating country, with a very personable, knowledgeable and professional guide. I had experiences like nothing before - seeing the turtle nesting, attending the goat auction - and learnt so much about the history and culture of the country and broader region. The sunset cruise in Muscat on the last day meant the tour ended on a high note. Great group and fabulous food, too!

This was a great trip, and I would recommend it. The hotels were all fine, the one night camping less so - very cold and the set-up was VERY basic (a kilometer away from a luxury resort!) - but the night sky in the desert was amazing. The trip notes are not totally accurate/informative though - there is a lot more travelling than they suggest and a lot of it is in 4-wheel drive vehicles over rough ground. If you don't like heights, beware! Be prepared for squat toilets in quite a lot of places :-/ All in all it was a good trip, well managed and very interesting.

Oman was beautiful. The guide Mashal and the driver Jabir were outstanding. Great group of fellow travellers. The hotels were amazing by Explore standards and although the camping night was very basic it was really an essential part of the experience. I highly recommend the trip to people looking for a genuine experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a wonderful trip. Muscat is a beautiful city with some amazing buildings to visit. Outside of the city the scenery is stunning with a beautiful coastline, soaring mountains and endless deserts. Our guide, Mashal, and all our drivers were friendly, helpful and fun.
