Gail | Traveled in January
Our 15 day trip to Nepal in November met all our expectations. The group of 16 was led by Su, who was not only caring and attentive but knowledgable on every aspect of his country. The trip was full on and involved city walks as well as peaceful treks through the countryside and hilltop pretty villages with spectacular views of the Himalayas. Su ensured we had the opportunity of seeing beautiful sunsets and regularly gave us the option of rising early to enjoy the sunset from the rooftop of our accommodation. Visiting Chitwan National Park was a highlight at the end of our trip where we saw one-horned rhinos, elephants as well as other animals and birds. The bus journeys were comfortable and restful as we passed through villages and saw day to day life of the local people. We made regular stops for bathroom breaks, coffee or just stretch our legs. I would thoroughly recommend this trip for those with a moderate to good level of fitness who would like to enjoy all aspects of Nepal.

World Expeditions have been fantastic throughout. Professional in every way, courteous, and informative. Along the trail, the experience, and ease with which we were guided to Base Camp was awesome. The WE stamp is well and truly visible at every stop, and every camp or eco lodge. They are clearly a well-respected business across the region.

Communication - prompt and excellent Experience - most amazing trip. Still on a natural high a month later Nepal Staff - they made a difficult trek, enjoyable, informative and rewarding. Their smiling faces and gentle encouragement helped us through difficult passages. It was the most amazing trip and will be forever grateful to our leader Sanjay, Sherpa Govinda, our chef who prepared amazing gluten free meals, our porters who smiled and cheered us walking into camps. I cannot commend Workd Expeditions highly enough.
Edward Philip Worsley | Traveled in December
We were lucky to have amazing weather for our entire trip and everything was arranged to perfection. We were advised to upgrade to the chopper from Kathmandu which saved us 2 days due to weather at Lukla. Every day went smoothly with each lodge offering warm and friendly welcome. Our guide Darwa was knowledgeable and looked after us at all times. The Nepalese people were amazing to us at every turn. We will be going back.

The local expertise, focus on health and safety.. and tremendous staff made this superb. A lot can go wrong on these adventurous journeys but with WE care it ran incredibly smoothly. Loved every minute of it !

This trek was incredible! Sanjay and the team did an amazing job of safely getting the group to Everest base camp and a couple of us to the top of Kala Patthar. I would highly recommend using World Expeditions for lots of reasons but 3 big ones are: 1) They cook all the food - this ensured that is was tasty and safe and no one in our group got sick, 2) mostly staying in their own campsites - the tents were really cosy and 3) the people - from the guides to the porters - were all amazing and local.
