Nepal
Such are the grandeur and variety of its mountains, that people often forget about Nepal’s other gems: Kathmandu’s lively welcome and quiet corners; Pokhara’s tranquil lake; Chitwan’s wildlife, canoe trips and tropical forest. All are fascinating pockets, ripe for exploration. But if it’s mountains you’re after, you’ve come to the right place. Whether it’s around the Annapurna Himal or in the Everest Range, this is the land of the giants: an army of peaks soaring all around you, hiding remote glacial lakes, exotic monasteries and verdant alpine meadows. Few who visit this special country only ever come once.

Chitwan Safari Extension - ex-Kathmandu
Suanne - Dalkeith, WA, 14 May, 2012
It's actually difficult to find which was the MOST memorable part. There was the day we left Kopra Ridge amidst sunshine, blue skies, clean crisp fresh air, valleys and snowy mountains with aeroplanes flying lower than where you were standing; there was the evening at Tadapani where George and Deb had us all in fits of laughter over a card game of "fish" using a pack depicting all 14 highest mountains whilst sitting on forms around a big square table under which the owners placed hot coals to keep us warm. Then there were the leeches... fascinating little critters!!! Oh, and making me a birthday cake ... how did they do that? Seeing millet growing. Seeing happy people ... thinking about less is sometimes more.
Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes
Anna - Karratha, WA, 11 May, 2013
Our Trek leader Gauri Thapa and Sherpas; Ramesh Tamang, Mingma Sherpa & Raj Rai were absolutely amazing, they were all very responsible, helpful, caring and great at their jobs. They made our experience enjoyable as well making us feel very safe during our trek. And our porters did a amazing job carrying all our gear so we could enjoy just walking and sight seeing. Overall the trek was completed at a good pace that helped people reach their destination.

"The scope and scale of this country is not something that can be gathered from either photos or stories. It is something that truly has to be seen to be believed"
