The Annapurna Circuit – considered the classic trek in Nepal – is legendary in the hiking community for its unrivalled variety of landscapes. However, few trekking trips complete the route, often skipping the final leg, which means missing out on deserted trails and unforgettable nights in quiet teahouses. We just couldn’t do that. Join us to tackle the full lap, enjoying superb views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri mountains and the ever-changing scenery. Based in teahouses throughout, we spend time in villages inhabited by many of Nepal’s different peoples, both Buddhist and Hindu.

Jovi did an outstanding job putting together our Itinerary for a 15-Day Trip to China, from which we have just returned. From start to finish the guides, hotels and the scheduled activities went off smoothly. We would like to recommend Linda Xu and Vivian Wang, the rep who arranged our trip, ifi you are looking for a company to arrange your trip to China.

Zachary was a knowledgeable and caring guide, well prepared and organized. I very much enjoyed the itinerary, particularly the backroads parts, walking through the countryside. The food and accommodations added greatly to the enjoyment of the trip. We were lucky to enjoy great weather for the duration of the trip, and the group was easy to be with. Taking public buses and trains between walks added to the experience of the culture. The hiking was more challenging than expected, but quite manageable. I very much recommend Backroads of Japan for anyone wanting a more intimate experience of Japanese culture.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing, even though it was just the two of us on the tour. Everything was perfectly organized, and we got to enjoy a more personal and flexible experience. Our tour leader made the trip even more special with their knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality. They took great care to tailor the journey to our interests, making every stop meaningful. It truly felt like a private adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience.

The Dordogne trip was outstanding - beautiful scenery, quaint and comfortable hotels, excellent food and days longs enough to feel the benefit of walking but not so long to make you too exhausted to enjoy arriving. Added bonus was our ability to enjoy a “coupe” everywhere we landed.

Where do I start! What a trip 2 weeks of seeing incredible wildlife, amazing scenery and eating lots of great food! This trip is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and if you are thinking about it. Just do it! You will not regret it. The Galapagos has so much to offer with different types of scenery (beaches, rocky coves, green hills and volcanos. You will understand why Darwin was so fascinated by these islands!!

A truely wonderful experience on so many levels. I signed up for the physical challenge of the trekking and the high passes along with the scenery and isolation but in end it was so much more. Very personalised insights into the culture, society and history. Thoughtful discussions about Buddhism as we saw this being practiced first hand in the remote holy places. I got a sense of a World yet to be touched by the nasty sides of globalism. The chief guide was fantastic, a true gentleman and the camp staff and food was amazing for the high altitude and remote context. This is not though an easy walk and needs to be respected as such.
