This was a fabulous trip. Cuba is like time stood still for 50 years but we still had comfortable accommodation, good routes, good food, great guide. Eats and drinks are very reasonable everywhere.
How simple the lives of people outside of the big cities are. When we visited the farmer for coffee and saw how he and his family lived, in a very basic farm house. Old American cars all over the island are wonderful to see.
Excellant group leader, very knowledgable and good sense of humour.
Its very warm and humid, even in January.
Dobbiaco great location with lots of excellent skiing
Winter wonderland
Hotel Tschurtschenthaler clean and tidy but the food was average 3 quality courses would be better than 5 average courses
The last day only 2 falls and a great day skiing thanks Bob
Dave and Bob were great group leaders Especially Bob he was very helpful and friendly making my cross country skiing more enjoyable he gave me lots of tuition and was very supportive of the group.Bob gave lots of useful information about local cuisine at lunchtimes with his knowledge of the local languages a great leader thanks Bob
Be fit before you go
A brilliant experience. Seeing Rajasthan close up in the raw. Great itinerary with good hotels throughout. Finally a word for the guides Krishna and Sanjay and the support team. They were fantastic and their knowledge and experience of the history and culture topped the trip. They ensured the group gelled from the start and many friends have been made. It has whetted our appetite to do more of this in the future. I thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone who likes to cycle and see and feel the atmosphere of India.
Cycling up the hills to get to Khumblagargh Fort! Seeing the children running down the hills smiling and shouting 'tata'. Mr Singh the bus driver taking the bus through the chaotic Agra city centre. These are just a few of the moments that come to mind.
Krishna was brilliant. His love for his home country and in particular Rajasthan was evident. So knowledgable which he shared with simplicity. He was ably supported by Sanjay who matched his love for his country, proud of his home and family values. He was great to cycle with and showed his strength and ability to help everyone along the challenging routes. Great team supported them in bringing up the food and drink et al. It was a privilege to be such a great group and this was down to the group leaders and the support team
Just make sure you read up on the trip notes and bring the gear you need to do the trip comfortably. The checklist on the website was invaluable. Given the time of the year the early morning starts can be very chilly to start off so make sure you do have something warmer than t shirts for the first hour or so. Cycling through chilly air can make it colder than you think India could be!
The trip was just perfect – an ideal combination of just enough cycling and just enough sight-seeing. I’m hooked.
That both the Vietnamese and the Cambodians (we did the Angkor Wat extension) were the most dignified, welcoming and happy people you could imagine. There is no shirking of their recent tumultuous past, but the way they have dealt with the past is an object lesson in forgiveness and was deeply moving.
Long absolutely made the Vietnam trip as special as it was. Happy, funny, informative and incredibly welcoming and helpful. It was an honour to meet him. Our Pnomh Penh guide Smeay was funny and dignified too. His personal account of the killing fields was intensely moving and will stay with me forever.
All of it was special but we may go back to Vietnam with empty suitcases to buy made to measure clothes in Hoi An and top up with prescription spectacles and sunglasses - don't miss out! The food is excellent, and very good for the libido (or so we were told!)
A wonderful way to get around to see the diversity and beauty that is Kerala. Good support from tour leaders, comfortable hotels to rest weary legs and tasty, varied food gives a very good introduction to Kerala.
Riding 2,200m down a mountain to reach the coast of Kerala.
Tour leader was supportive and knowledgeable, and for the support staff nothing was a problem and they were always encouraging, enthusiastic, positive and helpful.
If you are not a regular bike rider, like me, do some training, but the team and other riders were very supportive.
Another outstanding trip to Kvitavatn, fantastic instruction, superb skiing and brilliant food, not to mention the New Year Party.
I went back to Kvitavatn for a second time to try and get myself properly mobile on cross country skis. Last year I spent most of my time sitting in snow drifts or crashing, but this year I found my feet from day one and just grew in confidence. I have 4 inspirational moments - the first time we completed the 5km Orange Track including the terrifying "vertical" downhill without crashing; a similar moment with a bigger hill on the red 15km track; Finally mastering the art of herring boning and being upwardly mobile as well as downwardly; and last but not least climbing and successfully descending Mount Ornenipa on skis.
Albert (first 3 days) was really helpful and gave me space to find my feet and explore technique a bit in a way that I wasn't confident enough to do last year. Ilse (last 3 days) was as brilliant as ever. In particular in letting me go up Ornenipa and supporting me physically and emotionally getting down again with an injury. She knows exactly when to praise and when to push, and the evening stretching and talks were great.
Be as fit as you can before you go, you'll have much more fun if you aren't huffing and puffing. Also be honest about what you can and can't do, but throw yourself in. I was useless first time but comfortable in the grade 2 group second time even though I really struggled throughout last time.Be prepared to be gregarious - you may be sharing a room with 3 total strangers in close (though comfortable) quarters, and the showers are communal too. Kvitavatn is very quiet so not the place to go if you are looking for a lot of nightlife, but the skiing both in tracks and off track is brilliant.
I have been lucky enough to travel to many places over the years, India and Nepal are now at the top of my list of places I must go back to. Every day brought amazing views, experiences and food! The group were all like-minded and brilliant to travel with.
We had lovely clear skies for a lot of the trip so the sunrises over the different landscapes were incredible. Although seeing the Taj Mahal and Everest will remain with me forever, it was spending time on the ghats and on the water at Varanasi that took my breath away. Drifting along the river in the Chitwan National Park came a close second.
Badam Sing made all of us feel instantly at ease. He shared a lot of information about his life, childhood and religion with us which gave a very personal insight into India. He dealt with schedule changes calmly and efficiently, changed things around to make the best use of our time, and did his best to arrange things to suit the requests of different members of the group. I was really grateful that Badam didn't bombard us with information on the long journeys - allowing us time and peace to watch the scenery as we drove. I really can't praise him highly enough!
Do as many of the optional trips as you can. Don't miss the Everest flight. Bring an iPod for the long journeys and several memory cards. january/February was a great time to travel.
This is an AMAZING trip – do your research about altitude, make sure you have the right kit and keep an open mind.
The Barranco Wall. This was the bit I was most worried about because I had spent hours watching it on Youtube BUT it was nothing like I had imagined and I loved it. The guides and porters are so brilliant and they help you up anyway.Having breakfast outside in the sunshine about the clouds with the Summit in the background.
Our group leader Florenc was fantastic. I felt comfortable with him straight away. He was knowledgeable and had lots of experience on the mountain. The African Walking Company are excellent and our assistant guides, Davison, Hans, Adam and Olaf were brilliant too. However, the greatest respect goes to Simon who was the porter who carried my kit bag and set my tent up for me everyday with a smile. The chef, Godlisten is a legend - the food was great.
Build up your training to walk for at least 4 - 5 hours at a time as you will be doing this (and longer) every day! Book a trek with Mick and Elaina from Trek Hire UK - they give really valuable advice, tell you where you are at with your training AND it's a great day out over the Surrey Hills.Even if you are going with your partner - pay the single supplement as there is not much room in the tent (especially if you are tall or need to go to the loo alot which you will if you take diamox). We hired sleeping bags, therma rest, down jackets, rucksack and poles from Trek Hire UK - they were great and it kept the cost down.Take a pillow case to stuff your down jacket in for sleeping at night.Take an aluminium bottle to use as a hot water bottle for bed and fresh water to clean your teeth with in the morning.Take lots of baby wipes!Take time to get to know your guides and porters. They are amazing and you will soon realise that your life is in their hands.
Very underrated and challenging trip in an area of Spain that offers some great walking. This trip also offers some great summit opportunities.Could not believe that the mountain area behind Benidorm could offer such remote and historic walking terrain, combined with great food, drink and social activity. We went at the beginning of February and the almond blossom everywhere was stunning.
Actually doing 6 days of good walking and achieving some really good summits combined with full and long days of walking. Also, having a large group that was of a mixed age and gender, that gelled from Day 1 with a passionate, do anything leader who made fantastic sandwiches too!
Our leader was Jose Fraile and we very quickly warmed to him. He is local to the area, passionate about the historic footpaths, tracks and abandoned terrace farms. Jose is very patient, eager to please, has a lovely persona, humorous and makes lovely sandwiches with a different filling each day! He even keeps the footpaths cut back and stops them getting overgrown.Even on our free day, Jose made sure that everyone was taken care of and was happy to transport us to our different destinations.Couldn't have wished for a better leader.
We did this trip as a mature couple and thoroughly enjoyed it so, don't even think about it - just do it. This is a superb winter destination to top up your walking and is as good as a week in the Lakes. On the first day it rained and was cold. On the second day it snowed on the high ground. This did not stop us achieving our walks on either day, so be prepared for indifferent weather and take some warm clothing as we wore everything we took from the UK, even though we thought we had gone over the top with our warm and wet gear. The remainder of the week was sunny, hot and blue skies - just what we had expected. Check the weather forecast before you go and search on Sella and not Benidorm. Every day was not a walk in the park and you need to be prepared for some tough ascents and long descents, especially at the end of a full day. There are no coffee or refreshment shops on any of the trekking days (thankfully), but you do get the chance of a beer at the end of some of the walks and in lovely village bars.
I’m so glad I went on this trip. The treks, views, food, company and leadership were terrific!
All the views from the varied and interesting walks (the photos don't do it justice).
All the wonderful remarks from previous treks about Jose Miguel are still true today. His enthusiasm and passion are infectious.
Go! You'll have a great week.
