A really enjoyable trip led by Abhi our lovely young guide. Kerala is beautiful and we were able to experience the contrast between the mountains and the backwaters. The food provided on the trek by Sheila and her team was amazing.
Our guide, Sudarshan kc, was the best guide I've had on any Explore trip I've done (4, so far). He was really knowledgeable, gentle, warm, funny, & friendly, he looked after our group fantastically. Nothing was too much trouble, his recurrent phrase was 'anything is possible'. The tour itself was brilliant & flowed really well, despite the longer road journeys due to the landslides that had occurred a few wks before. In fact, I'd go as far to say those journeys were actually quite an adventure in themselves! For me, it was a perfect trip, the 4 days trekking were amazing, challenging at times, but worth the effort to see the stunning views of the mountains. The teahouses were simple but really welcoming, & in fab locations for views. Pokhara was a beautiful place for a bit of a rest, the calm lake, great shopping, & places to eat. Chitwan was outstanding, especially with the rhino sightings, & close encounters!
I was lucky to have a great group of people to travel with too, which made the trip a lot of fun.
Kathmandu is exactly what you'd expect, a city full of life, bustling traffic & historic sights. People are very warm & friendly.
I'd recommend this trip wholeheartedly.
I wanted to stay longer, & shed tears when I left. Many thanks.

We had a fabulous couple of weeks in Thailand with Explore. The tour visited most of the places we had hoped to go to independently but cut out all the stress of trying to organise it. There was enough unstructured free time to do a few little tours of our own. Our tour guide Super Jeff was fantastic and the whole group were really sad to say goodbye to him at the end. Lots of fun opportunities to travel on or jump into water. Other members of group were interesting and fun. Lots of great food. The two night train trips were surprisingly comfortable and easy. My family loved the Thai boxing morning. Good mix of culture, adventure, beach. The only disappointment was the day boat trip to Ang Thong marine reserve - very busy and touristy, long time on big boat, food not great and the snorkelling was almost non-existent. We wished we'd taken the day off on our own to spend more time on the beach or take a proper snorkelling tour.
Borneo orangutan tour is one of our best-selling travel destinations, and for good reason. Embark on this 3-day magical rainforest adventure to get up close to orangutans and experience the rainforest from a local houseboat! Visit any time of the year, dry or wet season. You will find different natural beauty in all seasons.
Spend 2 nights on board a local houseboat, a traditional wood klotok, which will be the main form of transportation. From the upper deck, you can view the rainforest as it glides by, and perhaps birds, proboscis monkeys, and crocodiles at the riverside. Wake up at dawn to the “morning concert ” of tropical rainforest creatures!
In Tanjung Puting National Park, we’ll visit rehabilitated and rescued orangutans, and explore the diversity of flora and fauna in the rainforest. Look for pheasants, snakes (including the three species of flying snakes), sun bears, and more than 600 species of birds including the magnificent hornbill. Borneo also has lots of exclusive plants that you can not find anywhere else, such as black orchids, carnivorous pitcher plants, 70-meter trees that are known as the hardest wood in the rainforest, and many more.
This tour is more than simply bringing visitors to see orangutans. In addition to experiencing the lush rainforest of central Kalimantan, visitors can also take part in keeping the home of orangutans safe. Orangutans are endangered species, with declining populations due to loss of habitat. Your adventure in Tanjung Puting, safely, helps to raise awareness about the threats these magnificent creatures are facing.
The itinerary is very well thought out with lots to see and do. Everyday had a highlight and the Nepalese are so friendly and inviting. The views of the Himalayas in Nagarkot and Pokhara were stunning. The hotels were in excellent locations throughout. There are walks for those who want to and options for those who don't. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of physical ability. Our tour leader, Su, was excellent and worked tirelessly to ensure our safety, enjoyment and general happiness. He is the best leader I have had out of some 27 tours. This is Explore's strong point - they know how to pick and train tour leaders and Su was the best of the best.

Designed to work as a self-contained budget Maldives experience or as a start to an independent stay in the archipelago, this is a perfect tour for those wishing to seek out whale sharks, marine life, and the world-renowned coral reefs of the Maldives.
The best way to experience this natural beauty and to gain an insight into the culture and tradition of Maldivian life is to travel to an inhabited island. This trip is based on the local island of Dhigurah which lies on the southeast side of Ari Atoll. Dhigurah actually means long island and at 3km, it is indeed the longest island in the atoll. It is also one of the most picturesque with a long beach, protected lagoon, and a sandbar at its southern end.
