Nepal
There’s more to Nepal than majestic mountains: Kathmandu’s calm and welcoming vibe, Pokhara’s serene lake, Chitwan’s flora and fauna, Himalayan white water rafting and tropical forest elephant trekking. But if it’s awesome mountains you’re after, and unforgettable, top-of-the-world trekking, Nepal is without doubt the right place to be. Hiking the Himalaya around the Annapurna or Everest Range, you’ll breathe deep and be amazed by this land closer to the heavens than any other. Peaks soar all around you and valleys drop away to span immense distances. You’ll find remote glacial lakes, exotic monasteries and high mountain meadows and have a most unforgettable adventure travel experience.

The locations we visited were amazing - a really good overview of Nepal and its diversity - it's a great trip and the best way to see Nepal.
The Road to Delhi

Both tour guides, Kris in Nepal & Rakesh in India were brilliant. We encountered a few transport issues & disruptions in Kathmandu, but this was handled well & Kris even organised a driver to take us out to Bahktapur when we had just about given up. Rakesh took us out to see a Bollywood movie in Varanasi (but I don't want to make it sound like he didn't work hard!) The point is he was flexible around our needs & more than happy to help. Both tour guides allowed us plenty of free time as well as providing interpretation & guiding in organised activities - both were inspirational characters & an asset to Gecko's. We also got to meet some fantastic local people. Gopal & Hari in Chitwan were especially knowledgable & invaluable as local contacts. We will be back at some stage & hope to meet up once more with some of the people we met on this wonderful trip.

"The tour guide and guides could not have been more helpful. They interacted well with the passengers and were always there to lend a hand, especially when the trekking was difficult. A fantastic experience trekking in Nepal thanks especially to the tour guide, the guides and porters."
