Nepal Active and outdoor Trips

A superb trip which gave an excellent insight into the culture, peoples and landscapes of Nepal. The trip was excellently guided by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable leader. The experiences were varied and included a number of purpiseful walks taking us through villages and scenes with exceptional views.

We chose this trip as we had visited Kathmandu in 2011 but had always wanted to get out into the countryside. This trip was a diverse mixture of culture and scenery. We enjoyed revisiting the temples and squares in Kathmandu, but also appreciating the mountains and scenery, especially a Pokhara. The clear views of the mountain ranges were amazing and breathtaking. We enjoyed the Chitwan park and saw lots of birds and rhinos, but unfortunately no tigers, but we didn't really expect to. Our tour guide and the local guides were all great with their knowledge and experience. It was a discovery, thank you

One of the best holidays I have been on with Explore. The guide was excellent - it was a big group and he managed everyone incredibly well. He was very knowledgeable, attentive and very proud of his country. If anyone had a suggestion or something they wanted included, he would make it happen. It would be great if Explore could offer a wider range of activity holidays to Nepal. Perhaps a wildlife/cultural tour? I would highly recommend this tour.

This was a full on tour through Eastern Bhutan. There was stunning scenery, short hikes and beautiful temples. We visited the Black neck crane festival which was delightful and we were able to see returning cranes in the nearby valley. The hotels were all decent with plentiful food to suit all tastes.

Fantastic trip encompassing amazing views, scenery and local food. The accommodation in the tea houses was basic and electricity random but waking up to amazing views of the mountains or going by jeep to see the rhinos in Chitwan more than made up for being without our Western creature comforts. Our Guide and local trek leaders were brilliant, and went the extra mile.

This holiday was a dream come true for me. Our guides throughout the tour were brilliant at giving information regarding a wide variety of visits. Our main guide, Santosh, was amazing from our first meeting until the taxi collecting us on the last day. His knowledge, concern, caring friendly nature and humour made the holiday....nothing was too much trouble for him. The variety on the tour was very well balanced; I would highly recommend it. The only challenge was sorting the visa; I paid on line and was charged again at tbe airport after being told the first payment was a scam! However this didn't impact on the holiday as I enjoyed every minute of it.
