  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Seeing the sunrise on Annaperna South and white water rafting.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Chandra was delightful and always chearfull. Only slight problem was he did not always check that all the group was together - walking out from Bandipur we left 2 people behind.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  As a senior citizen I found the start of the trek up the steps at Dhampus hard going, although I do a lot of walking on our coast and moors locally. 

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

   1. Our walk into the Chitwan Forest on our first afternoon there was more of a route march led by the local guide. It would have been nice to learn about the flora and fauna and to look at a learn about the wildlife, especially, for me, the birds.   

  2. The Elephant ride into the Chitwan Forest was diappointing because there were too many together, and too much noise from some people. No hope of seeing wildlife!

  3. The aborted flight to Everest was very badly organised. No fault of Exodus that we could not go, but we were dropped at the airport not knowing where to go and with nobody to meet us. This was sorted following a couple of phone calls, but it could have been a lot better organised. 

  However, these points did not detract from the excellent holiday.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Seeing the sunrise over Annapurna South on day 2 of the trek.

  River rafting.

  Paragliding in Pokhara was an amazing experience (arranged independently)

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Chandra was an excellent group leader - friendly, enthusiastic and knowlegable. 

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  The day walk in Bandipur was a lot tougher than I expected and was not a 4 hour round trip.

  The 4 day trek was also tougher - there are thousands of steps up and down and walking poles are essential.

  Both were very enjoyable as the views and scenery are wonderful, but the trek is definitely moderate and not leisurely.

  Go river rafting - it was great fun.

  Try paragliding in Pokhara for amazing views and a thrilling experience.

  Barter for your shopping.

  500 rupee notes are not widely accepted so ensure you have plenty of smaller notes.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  The trip was a great introduction to Nepal and will leave you wanting to go back and explore more of the country.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  There were so many!!  However, the trekking itself in the Annapurna region was most inspirational for me.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Our leader Chandra, was most professional and had us entertained with his facts on Nepal each night at dinner.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  There are lots of steps whilst trekking on the trails so recommend taking trekking poles.  And extra space in your racksack on the way home with all the souvenir shopping!

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  This is a great trip overall and I couldn't recommened it more highly if you are considering a visit to Nepal.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  6am woken by a Sherpa knocking at the door.  "Come see the sunrise over annapurna II".  Stagger out of bed, grab camera, open door..........  There are some places and moments in the world that make you feel small and insignificant, this was one of them.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Chandra was amazing.  I've never seen anyone smile so much!  He loved his country, it's people and all the quirks that go with travelling in Nepal.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  This is a go with the flow kind of a trip, accept that and you'll fall in love with the country.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Beware the public toilets are shocking.  Alcohol gel is a must.
