This was my first Geluxe trip, having done four 18-30something trips previously. This again had an excellent, knowledgable and friendly CEO who embodied G Adventures ethos and wanted to ensure everyone had a great trip. The itinerary has a great balance between activities and rest and pace that means a lot is packed in to 12 days, without feeling excessively rushed. The accommodation and food throughout was excellent, thank you G!
Take your place at the famed mask dance performances at the Thimphu Tshechu Festival, whilst discovering the best of Bhutan. Hike to Tiger's Nest Monastery, see the world's biggest Buddha Dordenma statue and explore the Punakha Valley before
sitting back to watch the unique and colourful displays of traditional culture performed at the city's most popular event.
Who says trekking means roughing it? On this eight-day Premium hiking adventure, you’ll experience the beauty and culture of the Himalayan foothills and the Annapurna mountain range – without skimping on comfort. Start in bustling Kathmandu – perhaps exploring the city’s ancient temples and markets – before heading to chilled-out Pokhara. Then it’s time to gear up for your trek! Hiking at relatively low altitude in the Annapurna foothills from Ghatte Khola to Syauli Bazaar, you’ll pass through classic Nepali trekking landscapes of terraced rice paddies, rhododendron forests, traditional villages, fluttering prayer flags, and gigantic peaks you’ll never get tired of looking at. At the end of each day, unwind in cosy trekking lodges with ensuite bathrooms, hot showers, hearty meals and views like no other.
