Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with warm and friendly people who made us feel welcome everywhere we went.Our cycling trip enabled us to see the scenery and learn alot about its culture and history.
Riding along the mud roads between the villages and the paddy fields showed us a way of life so differnt to ours in the UK.
He was excellent and attentive to all our needs. He was rightly proud of his country and keen for us to immerse ourselves in its culture, sample the local food, and learn of its history.
The guide Agi, driver and asssistant were all excellent and turned a very average quality trip into a good one.
Agi was the most inspriational part of the trip. He was amazing at sorting out problems and adding so much to the trip.The local people were on average incredibly friendly.
Fantastic!!!!!! Simple as that.
Expect basic rooms, I would say european 2 star on average. I think on average the group was disappointed with the accomodation, especially the river boats, they were very poor quality. Take insect spray, hand wash and baby wipes.
A thoroughly enjoyable breathtaking Himalayan trek.
Spectacular views from Poon Hill and Annapurna Base camp.Beautiful views from the the World Peace Stupa above Pokhara.Changu Narayan temple above Bhaktapur was fantastic.
Prem was excellent, a good organiser.
Layers, layers, layers (its cold up at ABC).Wet wipes and tissues ++I wish I had had a face mask in our kit (the trails can be pretty choked with dust).Flip flops or similar for showers, many of which are in a seperate building from the tea houses - facilities fairly basic.In Katmandhu, opposite side of road 30yds to the right of Royal Singi Hotel, is a well stocked supermarket, in case you have forgotten anything.Leave out Chitwan extension, unless you are desperate to see a few rhinos up close. 2 of the 3 days are spent in taxi travel to/from Chitwan. In the 3 day extension we only had 2 hours of safari. Not recommended.
A Great mix of cycling, culture and history. Fantastic downhills through moon scape scenery. Petra is amazing. Wadi Rum is stunning.
Full moon in Wadi Rum. The light, the mountains, the group. Amazing.The mud at the Dead Sea. The photos are great.
Danny was brilliant. Full of knowledge and passion for Jordan.
The first two days of cycling are mainly downhill. The fourth day cycling has five climbs which are a challenge. It was also very windy so bring warm layers if going in Winter. The views are worth the effort.Petra is big! You will need the two days to get around it all. For those who want a beer at the end of the day remember Jordan is a Mulim country. Alcohol is available at hotel bars but not at most of the restaurants. It is also very expensive (£5 for a beer or glass of wine) There can be tax and service added, 26%.
This was my first cycling holiday and it was fantastic a real achievement and wonderful experience.
Cycling through the villages and the wide open spaces with a total feeling of freedom and peace.
Sanjay and Harish were simply amazing, the whole team were.
Be prepared for long days. Just go for it, you'll have a great time.
The accommodation and flights were greatly organised, the places we stayed were very pleasant with friendly staff and good food (no one in the group ended up with stomach sickness). We had of the earliest flights to/from Lukla what was great, so as soon as the weather cleared off we were one of the first ones to go. What was disappointing was the attitude of group leader and some of the sherpas (Uba was the exception) when I started to be slower than the rest of the group (the comments like you have to change the gear were not very encouraging and not very much in line with a recommendation to stick to your own pace to avoid AMS).

Do stick to your pace and you will make it, do not let the group pressure to distroy your trip. It is amazing experience and the views up there are just incredible.
We were disappointed to read Viera’s review as the feedback we receive about our Nepalese staff is usually fantastic. On this trek there is always enough staff who are happy to stay with clients who want to walk at a slower pace. It is important that everyone reaches the teahouses during daylight hours, but we are really sorry if this led to Viera feeling rushed at times.
Fascinating trip; great guide & driver; smashing group of fellow travellers; wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip!
Can't pick out one experience above the many others, to be honest.
Fan-blooming'-tastic! Not an easy job but handled everything really well. ABCD - Above and Beyond the Call of Duty.
It's worth taking some snacks & don't expect haute cuisine, but you won't go hungry. Go with an open political mind.
All in all it was such a fantastic trip trip and I was so impressed by the whole operation. The itinerary was great, the leader and support team were really great guys, the hotels were good, lots of swimming pools and even a few surprises thrown in like the Hill Club in Nuwara Elyia. Amazing! The bikes were perfect for that type of cycling. All the other travellers on the trip were of the adventurous kind, having travelled to many other destinations before, so you dont get the type of travellers that are inclined to complain or be reluctant to experience new foods, cultures etc.I had never done a cycle trip before and enjoyed the challenge.
Cycling downhill at high speed through surprisingly quiet back roads and tea planations. Spotting both a leopard and tusk elephant at Yala National park.
Our leader Suresh Gamlath is an absolute asset to the company. He was so good at his job. Very friendly, funny, always making sure everyone is happy. Our driver Upali and the support rider AK were fantastic too.
Dont wear white clothes. Wear old clothes on the safari drive and if you are a lady, a sports bra :) Buy a tub of Gatorade/sports powder to put in your water bottle during the day to top up electrolytes. Good suncreen that wont sting your eyes, insect repellent, lip-screen, some muesli bars, padded bike pants, jeresy with back pockets or a bum bag. Nice clothes to change into at night.
A fantastic trip – varied and interesting with lots to see and do. The food was terrific and the sights amazing. A week was just the right amount of time and the hotels were great!
Obviously Petra, but I actually preferred the Monastery over the Treasury. It is well worth walking up to the Monastery - it is a bit of a hard slog but the Monastery really is spectacular. There is a cafe there so you can sit and have a drink and admire the view. That was a really lovely part of the trip.The desert was also excellent - the stars are so much better than at home, particularly if you look through binoculars. We had a camel ride in the morning which was also a highlight for me.On our second day in Petra some of our group had a longer, guided walk with a Bedouin woman. We did not see anybody else and it really felt like we were the only people in the world! I would recommend this if you have the opportunity - the views were fantastic and it was good to get off the beaten track.
Our leader was Danny Haddad - I thought he was excellent. He looked after the group well, was clear about all the arrangements and helped out with money changing etc. Some of us had a problem with a taxi on the very last night and, even though Danny was not with us, he helped us to sort out the situation over the phone.
I travelled in November and it was definitely helpful having a range of different clothes and layers as the temperature did vary quite a lot. Layering is the key! It was not nearly as cold in the desert as I was expecting at that time of year which was a pleasant surprise. I wore an Icebreaker top, thermal leggings and had my 4 season sleeping bag and was pretty hot!! The Bedouin are able to provide sleeping bags and extra blankets but quite a lot of people in my group seemed to have their own sleeping bag anyway.I am not a vegetarian but the 2 vegetarians in our group did find some of the food choices a bit limited at times. For me, as a meat eater, the food was excellent. Loads of really nice kebabs! The houmous and falafel was absolutely superb. I took sterling cash but did not change any money at Amman airport. The following morning our guide took us to a money exchange that had a better rate than the airport so I was glad I waited. I changed £200 which saw me through the entire holiday.
The trip was very well put together. It incorporated all the key highlights in an efficient two week schedule, without too many long days of travel. The wildlife was spectacular – we were very lucky to see wonderful views of leopards, lion, elephants, and more! The wild camping was great, the guides were wonderful, and the camp food was very good too! An excellent trip, and I’d highly recommend it!
The light aircraft flight over the Okavango Delta was incredible - the sort of view you can only otherwise get from a David Attenborough film!I also loved the Chobe River Cruise - being able to get so close to so many different types of animals and to see them from the water was unique and very special.Finally, the day to day aspect of wild camping, walking and just being in the wild with the animals was a wonderful experience and a refreshing change from normal life!
Sam did a very good job. He organised the trip very well and really knew what he was doing. He tried hard to make it as enjoyable as possible, although perhaps struggled to deal with one or two of the more "challenging" members of our group.
The trip notes were very helpful. I went in late October / early November and it was hot!! No need for fleeces or warm tops, and only a very light sleeping bag was required. Take a paclite for the occasional rare late afternoon downpour though.It was possible to charge batteries at several points along the route, as well as in the Landcruiser.Take plenty of dollars to change into local currency.Highly recommend the flight over the Delta, the longer helicopter flight over Victoria Falls, and the Chobe River Cruise - all amazing experiences!
