Inspirational treka

Not just a holiday, more of an adventure!

Most Inspirational Moment

Achieving day 2 of the Machu Picchu trek to Dead Woman’s Pass. Although not long as a days trek, the rise in altitude to 4200 metres was tough!

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader, Bobby, was excellent in every department. A more capable, competent and helpful guide in all probability does not exist. His involvement with the group was welcomed by all and resulted in the trip being a huge success for the group participants. The information he provided on the various sites visited and the relevant history was most interesting and created further discussion within the group. With regard to the travelling and accommodation, Bobby took full control and made our holiday somewhat carefree, thankfully! A big thank you to Bobby!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take warm clothing for the camping part of the trip as the nights can be very cold!

A great holiday with a good mix of cycling (some tough), culture, sightseeing and team bonding.

A great holiday with a good mix of cycling (some tough, and one day in particular-the climb to Nuwara Eliya, not for the faint hearted!) with culture, sightseeing and team bonding all thrown into the mix. But fear-not as if you don’t fancy the climb then there’s always the option of the train from the word go, or the ever-present bus or cycle van bringing up the rear if your just not sure and want to see how far you can get. And this is also the case on any ride on any day of course.
We were lucky to have an excellent, award winning, guide but the standard generally is very high, not least because being a guide in Sri Lanka is one of the most sort after and hard to get jobs, with the result that they all take huge pride in their work. We thourougly enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Any minor issues were quickly dealt with. No major issues occurred because of the degree of organisation, planning, (by the company) and diligence on the part of our guide on the trip itself.
Thoroughly recommended!

Making it to Nuwara Eliya!

Lovely time!

I had a lovely time in Norway. During the day we were kept busy with hikes in the mountains surrounding the Norwegian fjords – good exercise and beautiful views. Our guest house was charming – was surprised by how nice it was – and the staff was super friendly. We even saw quite a few UNESCO world heritage sites. Overall I was positively surprised with Norway and glad i chose this trip. Great company too!

Most Inspirational Moment

The beautiful views took me away from my everyday worries and who would have thought going onto the glacier would be so much more fun than just looking at it from up close!

Thoughts on Group Leader

I loved Einar - he is young and super humble but he really tried hard to take care of us. Lovely guy

Advice for Potential Travellers

Fitness levels - moderate for one person is challenging for another especially when there are time limits for certain hikes.

Excellent Holiday From Start To Finish

I can’t recommend Exodus highly enough. We were taken care of extremely well from start to finish.

Most Inspirational Moment

The group spirit was great.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Martino was very professional and took very good care of us. His knowledge of the areas we visited was quite amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.

Nice trail,Titicaca and Nazca

A superb trip, very well planned and executed. The views were just amazing and the porters food incredible. We were so well looked after. Our guide, Bobby, was excellent and so informative. He knew all the best places to eat as well! Hotels were all good and we would thoroughly recommend the experience to others.

Most Inspirational Moment

Arriving at Dead Woman’s Pass.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bobby was brilliant, he couldn’t have been better.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Take plenty of thermals for the camping part as it was so cold at night.

Peru at it's best

I cannot thank Smriti, Trehan, Rolando and especially Marcia our guide enough for a quite special experience. Exodus ticked all the boxes for a great adventure, thank you all.

Most Inspirational Moment

Difficult to say, as both the trek and visiting Machu Picchu were so well organised, thought out and made for a special trip - perhaps of a lifetime!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Marcia was so very special in so many ways, her local knowledge of the people ( she is after all a local there) the route, looking after the group but most of all her smile and engaging giggle at every opportunity. We could not have been in better hands!

Waste no time in booking your trip with Exodus!

July 2018 Inca Trail and Peru

Excellent Guide, Bobby (Ubaldo), helped the group understand so much about Peru’s history, culture, fauna and amazing achievements of the Incas and preceding tribes, and all done with real sense of humour. Off the Inca trail Bobby continued to look after us, so the small group that flew back to UK were looking for him to help sort us out at Gatwick. The porters and cooks were also brilliant, not sure how they covered the route so quickly and made food and camp sites so comfortable. Also helped having a really friendly group of fellow travellers. All-in-all a brilliant experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Standing on a high point in the Andes above the camp watching the sun come up - red glow spreading across the mountain peaks, magical.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Bobby (Ubaldo Quispe) was brilliant - gave so much insight and things to think about, always joking, but real sense he was looking after us and getting things organised. Missed him when we got back to UK!

Advice for Potential Travellers

If weather clear, take advantage of flight over Nascar lines, but don’t eat for a couple of hours beforehand. Really brings home the scale, but involves a lot of weaving. During Trail, take things slowly, but the guide will explain things like that. At Machupichu you are limited to small bag/ ruck sack, had left our small bags behind, would have been good to know about the limitation before leaving Cuzco.

Loved it!

My husband and I have never done a trip like this and we have never camped before. We loved it. The tour is interesting and varied. The walk in the dessert was spectacular, climbing the Dune was quite hard, but watching the sun rise made the climb worth every step. Eating supper round a camp fire was really nice and sociable and the food was really good. We are vegetarian and we were well looked after. We saw hundreds of animals: giraffe, rhino (and a baby rhino), lions, elephants and their babies, springbok, zebra, ostrich, fabulous birds, warthogs, hyena, jackal, many types of deer and antelope, baboons… We wish we could do it all over again.

Most Inspirational Moment

The most inspirational moment of the trip was the herd of elephants that came to the waterhole in Etosha. So many other animals came too. It was a really beautiful experience.

Thoughts on Group Leader

The group leader, Ben, was excellent. He looked after us with care and consideration. He had excellent knowledge on every question that was asked and he was very good at finding the animals for us to see. The crew (the driver and the cook - Jonas and Orbert) were also excellent.

Advice for Potential Travellers

July was a good time to travel because it was not too hot during the day. The temperature does fall at night so a really good sleeping bag and a blanket (if you feel the cold) is a good plan. The facilities at each site vary so it is better if you can be flexible. You need malaria tablets, but there were very few insects at that time of year - it may be different at other times. We are very cautious so we had insect repellent clothes. You can get clothes washed at the hotel in Swakopmund and one or two other places, so you need to plan clothes carefully. Some of the roads are very bumpy, but then we were travelling through the dessert. It would definitely help if you have a head torch with you.

Amazing week at Chalet Chocolat

This was one of the best organised tour holidays I’ve ever been on. We had an exceptional week of hiking, our tour guide Tom was awesome – he had fantastic local knowledge, kept us clear of the big tour groups, showed us all the hidden gems and kept us entertained with his stories. The hiking was very civilised and reasonable, should be no problem if you’re in decent physical fitness. Great introduction to the beautiful Mont Blanc area. The weather in July was perfect – we were lucky to not get even one day of rain or bad weather. Staying at Chalet Chocolat was also great – our chalet hosts Zohi and Ben looked after us so well; amazing breakfasts, buffet pack-your-own lunch, fresh baked cakes every day and a three course meal – the food was really well done, dietary requirements catered for. Couldn’t ask for more – would definitely recommend this trip to anyone!

Most Inspirational Moment

Looking at the views over the Chamonix valley on the last day of our trip, while sitting down to each lunch. It was a spectacular view after 5 days of hiking and got to enjoy it with a great group of people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tom was an exceptional tour leader, so knowledgeable, patient and entertained us with his chat and stories. He really made the experience enjoyable and successful for everyone.
