Yala peak is one of the easiest trekking peaks in Nepal but yet promises an exciting climbing adventure for people new to mountaineering. Situated at the Langtang region, the trekking towards Yala peak itself will be an interesting journey as Langtang is one of Nepal's best trekking destinations.
With an altitude of 5,732m above sea level, Yala peak offers great views of other close-up neighbouring mountains such as Shishapangma and the Ganchempo (6,388m). Climbing Yala peak is not technically difficult and therefore no previous experience with ice-axe, crampons etc is required.
The journey starts from Kathmandu and enroute to Yala Peak we will pass through a number of beautiful and culturally rich places such as the Lama hotel and Kyangjing Gompa.
The optimal time for this trip is during Spring (Mar-May) and Autumn (October-November). We are looking forward to providing you with a moderate climbing adventure of a lifetime.

At 8.30am your tour guide and car will pick you up from your hotel and will start our tour of Ho Chi Minh City. You will get to know its history and culture by stopping at:
The Reunification Palace - on April 30th, 1975, what the Vietnamese refer to as the 'American War' officially ended when tank number 843 of the North Vietnamese Army crashed through the gates of what was, at the time, the residence of the President of the Republic of Vietnam
War Remnants Museum - formerly known as the Museum of American War Crimes is a poignant display of the futility of war. Some of the black and white photography in the 'Requiem' exhibit is particularly touching and is dedicated to both foreign and Vietnamese journalists and photographers who perished during the conflict.
Notre Dam Cathedral and General Post Office were built around 1877 and 1883 respectively. These two iconic buildings are fine examples of French colonial architecture. Remarkably every stone used in the building of the Notre Dam Cathedral was shipped from France to Vietnam. The Old Post Office is also the country's largest post office.
The Opera House, after the lunch at local restaurant, we take you to see Chinatown and the Chinese market Binh Tay. We then move on to Thien Hau Pagoda, a temple entered through an iron gate and crossing a small courtyard. The roof is decorated with delicately fashioned porcelain figurines expressing themes from Chinese religion and legends. Lanterns and wooden models of Chinese theaters hang over the entrance. Our final stop before taking you back to your hotel is Ben Thanh Market, one of Vietnams largest markets and a real heart beat of Ho Chi Minh culture.
Book this guided, group tour with us to visit Masada, the symbol of the ancient kingdom of Israel, and the Dead Sea from Tel Aviv within one day. Our representative will pick you up from your hotel in Tel Aviv in the morning. Take the route down from Jerusalem, descending below sea level through a Biblical wilderness towards the Dead Sea.
On the way, you will see the Inn of the Good Samaritan. Stop en route to take a look across the desert as you pass the point that marks the sea level. The ancient city of Jericho can be seen in the distance. This is where Joshua's troops caused the walls to fall (Joshua 6) and where Jesus healed the blind (Mark 10:46-52). Reach the shores of the Dead Sea encrusted with white salt and follow the shoreline towards Masada. Although it is possible to climb the ancient Snake Path up Masada as the Romans did 2,000 years ago, you will take the convenient cable car up to the mountain-top plateau. It was here that King Herod built a fortified palace complete with every convenience. Herod had also built a swimming pool, water cisterns, two palaces, store rooms and even a synagogue.
Following Herod's death, the mountain top was the last outpost of Jewish zealots when the Romans tried to rid the land of Jews in the First Jewish-Roman War from 66 AD to 73 AD. The Jewish zealots maintained their position for three years before the Romans finally managed to scale Masada using a ramp built by slaves. The 960 Jews didn't wait for the Romans to reach the summit. Instead, they killed themselves, becoming religious martyrs.
Masada was where the first parchment from this era was discovered during an Israeli archaeological excavation. On the parchment was the prophesy of Ezekiel, "…I will take the children of Israeli from among the nations…and bring them into their own land…." (Ezekiel 37). Heading back to the Dead Sea, you will pass the desert oasis of Ein Gedi, where David hid from angry King Saul, as well as Qumran, where the 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in hillside caves.
Stop at the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth and a contender for the title of one of the world's seven wonders, at the end of the day. People come from across the globe to enjoy its therapeutic, mineral-rich waters. Don't worry if you do not know how to swim. The high salt content will keep you afloat.
I had an incredible experience touring Agra thanks to Malik! From the moment I arrived, he made everything seamless—he met me right outside my train cart with a sign, which was such a relief in a busy station. He navigated me through the city with ease, and his kindness and honesty stood out throughout the day.
We visited the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort, and his knowledge of the history behind both was impressive. He answered every one of my (many) questions with patience and detail. What truly stood out was how much he cared about the sharing the history.
If you’re visiting Agra, I can’t recommend him enough. This tour was the highlight of my trip to India!

This tour was great - included the two things we really wanted to see (the terracotta army and the Hanyangling Museum) and we also got a great lunch and a visit to a local farmer's "cave house" which was an interesting insight into how people live outside the big cities.
Michael is a great guide, he speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable about the history and background of the archeological sites. The car was very comfortable with a good driver and plenty of water available. All in all an excellent tour, I highly recommend this if you're visiting Xi'an - you'll have a great time!
My private tour to Great Wall of China and to Forbidden city was arranged in a perfect way starting from the airport pick-up till the final hotel drop-off. Enjoyed the trip to the fullest and would definitely plan another trip through this local travel specialist in the future.

This tour operator provided an amazing experience for our Honeymoon. As soon as we got off the plane we were welcomed by staff and assisted every step of the way. They gave us a welcome basket and welcomed us in a very special way. The driver was great, he provided a lot of information and took us anywhere we wanted to go to. The accommodations were superb. The planned out honeymoon had just the perfect amount of activities planned out such as tours and romantic dinners. They also left free time to plan more activities, we would just message the agency and they would set it up. Overall amazing experience!!
