This guided, 12-day off-road drive takes you to one of the most remote yet beautiful area of Nepal. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime exploration of the Upper Mustang region, formerly the isolated kingdom of Lo, that is known for its otherworldly landscapes and villages frozen in time.
Upper Mustang is located in the trans-Himalayan area of Nepal. One of the major attractions of this place is its stunning landscape comprising of bare cliffs and arid valleys. The other interesting element is the Tibetan Buddhist culture that is still preserved and practiced in this region as a result of its seclusion from the outside world until recent times.
Overall, this trip offers a ton of fun and an experience to last a lifetime. Scroll down to the itinerary section for more details.
We did the Mardi Himal trek in April 2022. It was a fantastic experience due to our guides Nima Sherpa and Porter Kanchha sherpa. Thanks so much, guys for becoming good friends. Will definitely book again and ask for you to guide us around the next time we come!
Sri Lanka Time Tour via Aitken Spence. We met our driver and guided Sanka in Negombo for a 10 day tour of Sri Lanka. As soon as we met Sanka we knew we had made a very good decision, he was very friendly and welcoming us to continue our tour with the first events, he was prompt and very knowledgeable, and very proud of his country. Driving in Sri Lanka is crazy but Sanka was very experienced and we never felt unsafe. Safety throughout Sri Lanka is a high priority, but we never feel unsafe anywhere and encourage visitors to carry on while the tourism industry suffers. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and the staff were always friendly and very helpful. The tour is very busy with some long days, but we end with a six day break in the Maldives to recover. A truly memorable holiday with lots of laughs and banter with Sanka who made the tour so enjoyable.

There were no challenges, only pure enjoyment. The places and experiences we enjoyed the most were Phang Nga Elephant Park, the Longtail boat ride, and Treehouse Villa. We had a really great time.

We have just spent a week in Sri Lanka for our honeymoon and use Aitken Spence as our chauffeur guide for our trips. We had Rodney as our chauffeur guide and I have never met someone so lovely, calm, patient, helpful and passionate. He is a credit to the company and made our visit to Sri Lanka very relaxing and took care of our every need. He was punctual every day for our meeting times, enlightened us with all sorts of information about Sri Lanka during our trip which was very interesting and made sure we were comfortable all the time. The car was comfortable and very clean every day and had enough leg room and space for all our luggage. We fit a lot into our 1 week stay in Sri Lanka and it would not have been the same without using Aitken Spence. I would 100% recommend this company, all you need to do is sit back and relax while everything is taken care of for you!
The tour leader Su was absolutely excellent. Nothing ever too much trouble. The standard of the hotels did vary somewhat. The long journeys on very rough roads was a bit of a challenge at times but all in all an enjoyable trip

It is not often after a two week holiday, I am not ready to leave and get home. I went by myself and I could have repeated the holiday easily. George our guide was incredible, full of charm, humour & wit he was totally unflappable and his knowledge of his country was encyclopaedic encompassing politics, economics, flora, fauna, religion and animals. He worked tirelessly to ensure we all made the most of our time. Sri Lanka is an amazing country and the fun, laughter and camaraderie we all experienced will live with me for a long time.

I have just returned from an amazing adventure to northern India which totally exceeded my expectations. Our group were all very like minded and friendly and I soon felt like part of a family.
Our tour leader, Inder, was exceptional and went over and above what we expected of a tour leader; arranging extra optional excursions too. He was very knowledgeable and informative and went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed all aspects of the trip and also made sure that we felt safe at all times. He was definitely a 5 star guide.
The trip itself offered a great mixture of temples, monuments, busy cities and quiet rural areas, with lots of wildlife too. Something for everyone and I really felt as though I was seeing the real India.
I'm looking forward to my next trip with Explore and hope that this was the first of many!
