I highly recommend this local tour operator! We took 18 days trek to Everest Base Camp and 3 High Passes in November and the experience was just amazing. We had everything professionally organized by Chris: transportation (including flight to Lukla), food and lodging, permits, you name it... The contact with the company was always quick and easy, Chris was super helpful and everything went smoothly. We were even provided with really good and warm sleeping bags and jackets! Our guide Lakpa was really experienced and knowledgeable, he showed us some of the most incredible places we've ever seen, helped us through all the though parts of the trail and was always there to answer questions and offer advice. We felt really well taken care for every step of the way. We're already planning our next trek in Nepal and we'll most definitely come back to Nepal.

With so many islands to choose from, how does one even begin to decide on the ideal cycling route in the Philippines? This 13-day adventure set in the central island group of Visayas is our answer. We traverse four islands, riding on paved roads through countryside, jungles, and highlands, as well as skirting picturesque coastlines overlooking the Pacific. The cycling experience is enriched by plenty of stops at cultural sites, natural wonders, palm-fringed beaches and nights spent at lovely accommodations.
We meet in bustling Cebu City and take a boat to the neighboring island of Bohol. Here we spend the first three days heading into a forest for a chance to encounter the world’s smallest primates (tarsiers), marveling at the iconic Chocolate Hills and climbing into the highlands of Sierra Bullones where rice-terraces are draped over the mountainsides. After a rest day near the beaches of Anda, we discover a hidden waterfall, ride along the coast with sweeping ocean views, and visit a beautifully-preserved Spanish coral stone church. On Day 8 we ferry from Bohol over to Siquijor, a small yet beautiful island renowned for its natural charm and mysticism. Here we treat ourselves to a three-night stay at a fantastic beach resort while we explore the island’s coasts, jungles, and villages. From Siquijor, we leapfrog by boat across one island, Negros, to then get to another, Cebu! Here we saddle up and ride along the stunning coast to Moalboal, where you have the opportunity to swim with schools of millions of Sardines. A final ride takes us up and down farm-studded mountains before concluding the tour back in Cebu City.
They say “it’s more fun in the Philippines” - we say it’s even more fun on a bike! Join us on our island hopping adventure and we’re sure you’ll agree. We even wrote a blog about it; check it out here.
