Patagonian Highlights

Fantastic mountain scenery enjoyed through great walks, accompanied by perfect weather conditions of clear blue skys and warm sunshine in a part of the world where the phrase “four seasons in one day” is often used.
If you like red meat you are in for a treat, medium rare cooked stakes to die for and the lamb ain’t bad either. I am not used to a what appeared a joint and rake of lamb in the one dish. All washed down with plentiful amounts of exceedingly good Malbec, the good value of the wine only makes you drink more but well it is a holiday afterall.
There are some long drives but to see the best of what Patagonia has to offer, it is a great way to travel. You have a long drive on day 10 and, when you get to the ferry strong winds may delay that 2km trip across the water for 2.5 hrs but don’t worry, the cafe has plenty of beer.
A the end of the trip back in Buenos Aires, which on its own has beautiful architecture and worth a return trip to spend a few more days enjoying the sights, a tango show is a great way to finish the trip with a great stake and more of that Malbec.

Cycle Indochina & Angkor (16NOV14)

This was one of the best holidays i have ever had…..simple just that!
The team expecially Sutinee Rasp were amazing from start to finish and nothing was too much trouble.
The group were great company and we all had a fabulous time.
I will be back and certainly try to do more of the trips that Sutinee does the guiding on

Singalila Ridge & Sikkim - A well organised trek and tour

Amazing sunrises and sunsets. We were lucky to have good weather on trek.
Tour drives were mostly pretty rough rutted post-monsoon mountain roads, but exciting, skillfully navigated by good drivers, and comfortable in large cars. Drives were often fairly long – but with tea breaks!
Hotels: the hotel in Darjeeling was perhaps the least comfortable, the basic tea house at the end of the trek the most comfortable surprise, and the hotel in Gangtok the most beautiful and hospitable.
Camping was very well supported. Camp meals were very good, varied and plentiful.

Tiger, Tiger

Visiting 3 of India’s National Parks should enhance your chances of finding this majestic predator. However you should also enjoy the rest of what the parks have to offer as well – amazing wildlife and, at this time of the year, scenery to embrace and enjoy.

Discover Namibia - Amazing Wildlife, Scenery and People

Namibia is a county diverse in its landscapes and wildlife. This trip lets you see it all – including chilly star filled desert nights, high dunes at sunrise, varied game drives and a range of optional activities to cater for every taste. Namibia has everything – and does not mind sharing!

Patagonian Highlights

This was a great holiday. We had a good bunch of people who “clicked” almost immediately. We had a fantastic leader who made everything so much better. The views were outstanding. Even the long bus rides didn’t seem that bad. Lots of breaks to stretch our legs

Everest base camp

Great trip, wonderful team mates, excellent support. Tea houses quite basic, especially at altitude – hot water would have been nice and rooms with just a tiny bit more comfort. Food fine. We’re planning the next one. I’d prefer to pay upfront rather than all the extras, such as food.

If you want to discover the treasures that Central America holds then this is the trip.
From the erupting heights of the volcanoes in Nicaragua through the readiness of the tropical forests and coastlines of Costa Rica and finishing at the engineering practical of the Panama Canal.
Throughout the tour we were encouraged, befriended and guided by our 4 tour leaders. All of this could not have been possible without our bikes being loaded, unloaded, transported, oiled, and pumped by the magnificent quatro, so all we had to do was hanker down and cycle and have a fantastic time. Thank you team N.CR.P.

Cycling in a monsoon in Sri Lanka

I did the trip in November and overall it was very good. The leader, Suresh, and his local crew are outstanding in every way. Suresh has all the skills to be a fantastic guide and the team did everything possible to make sure we had a good holiday.
I enjoyed the mix of cycling and seeing cultural sights. I gained a good understanding of the country and appreciated seeing the many World Heritage sights and breathtakingly beautiful Buddha images, especially the reclining Buddha at Polunnaruwa. The cycling was challenging but satisfying and the food was delicious.
Unfortunately we experienced 14 days of rain and some days it was pretty constant and heavy. Some local people I talked with said this was normal for November and others said it was unusual. I brought clothing expecting hot and humid weather with some rain and this turned out to be a mistake. I suggest wearing all lycra or quick dry clothing. My cotton shorts and tops were constantly wet, heavy, and filthy and were not able to dry out overnight.
This was my first trip with Exodus and I would definitely book with them again.

Primates and Dragons of Indonesia

Fantastic way to see both orang-utans and komodo dragons in the wild. It is difficult to find a trip that takes you to Komodo, so this one is great that you get to both Komodo and Rinca.

Also got to see many other animals, including turtles and a shark whilst snorkelling, snakes and lizards and other primates.

Trip notes list the trip as moderate activity but first few days are a lot more active than that.
