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.

I loved that The Annapurna Foothills trip was like three trips in one: the temples, colour and bustle of Kathmandu, the peace and green beauty of the foothills and the interest and serenity of Chitwan National Park. Our leader Santosh was efficient, caring and funny.

The trip overall was incredible! Every aspect was planned out and coordinated, and as a trip manager was incredible. Very good balance of fun and informative, whilst also staying on top of it the entire time. China is such a beautiful country, and everyone should go and explore it if they ever get the chance. Highly recommended!!

I'm 70. I had a yearning to see Everest since I was quite young. As I grew older, I hoped to do the trip with my sons but the length of the trip was not conducive. I wasn't particularly fit but trained for a few months beforehand, not knowing if I could manage the amount of walking , let alone the unknown element of altitude. Arriving in Kathmandu, the hotel was excellent and we had time to visit the old city of Thamel. The flight to Lukla was a great experience in a small plane, next the start of the trek. The 'Teahouses' along the way offered a warm convivial welcome, with varying numbers of other trekkers present. Suspension-bridge crossings, some several hundred metres long were great! We were lucky to have clear visibility and sunshine nearly every day as we progressed ever higher amid awe-inspiring scenery, expertly led by our leader Valerie Parkinson, and Nepalese guide Saroje. Our yakman Nawang took care of all our luggage except for our light daysacks. We gazed up at Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Macalu, Pumori, to name but a few peaks. From various vantage points including the aptly named Everest View Hotel, we had excellent views of Everest with the South Summit and South Col. We experienced at first hand the logistical marvel of how everything is transported up here; by yak, mule, dzo or porter. Bird-life included Vultures and Golden Eagles soaring overhead, plus Tibetan Snow birds that took a fancy to my lemon drizzle cake on Kala Patthar during our final acclimatisation trek. After taking in the Kumbhu Glacier, we reached Gorak Shep before the final push to Everest Base Camp itself. Unlike most other treks, we had ample time at Base Camp rock before the short walk to one of the expedition camps where we stayed overnight, amongst an array of camps looking like something out of a Bond movie. We witnessed a massive avalanche, and spent time on the ice shelf, truly surreal amongst the surrounding peaks. Overall, it was tough but an utterly amazing experience, in the competent hands of our leader Valerie, a lifetime goal achieved.

This was my first G Adventure and it won't be my last.. It was so nice to have all the planning done for us, especially with all the permits required. The pace of the tour was good, we had time to ourselves and time with the group. The guides were professional and fun and took excellent care of us.
