1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The most memorable part was the interactions with guides and local people, including the support provided by the Nepal based agent who organise the tour and connect with other local agents in Bhutan and Tibet. The most exciting part was seeing places like the Potala Palace in Lhasa, walking up to the Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan and feeding elephants in Chitwan!

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Recognise there is a lot of time - sometimes 8 hours a day - spent travelling, especially in Tibet. Side trips to Chitwan and Pokhara also involved 8 hour bus
journeys. This is clear from the description, but travel sickness would not enhance the experience. As a retiree, I'd have found a rest day in Kathmandu between countries helpful, as I didn't have enough time to explore the city, or even the area Thamel near the hotel, independently. But this would make the tour longer and slightly more expensive so it would depend on the individual. Other advice would be investing in some Diamox in case of altitude sickness, as the Tibet tour involves travel to altitudes over 5,000 metres, and most of the small group were impacted by this (headaches, rapid respiration, and dizziness) even though we weren't doing anything strenuous. Impact were mild, however, and the tour transport carries oxygen in case people are more seriously affected. In terms of clothing, you will need to be prepared for some cool weather and chilly nights, as well as hot weather and some steamy nights (at least during aMay/June tour).

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


Yes to some extent given hotels were locally owned rather than 'international' and clients are advised on the level of tips (for guides and drivers) which is obviously cash in hand. I was aware that the season during which guides (in Kathmandu, for example) can earn money from guiding is quiet over the wet season so tips are a valuable source of income. I don't think tourism of any kind can not have some environmental impact - but higher end tourism in Tibet, for example, usually includes some flying or helicopter travel - so this level of tour had less impact and guide and driver were Tibetan. I’d just comment also about plastic. I’m aware there is one plastic recycling facility in Nepal, but all over the countryside, plastic is used and sometimes reused but discarded everywhere. Because there is (some) recycling, people think it isn’t a problem – but uses of recycled plastic are limited and recycling is not a solution that means plastic is OK. Some hotels (Bhutan & Nepal) had water in rooms in glass bottles – more of this type of intervention would be good.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


I thought this three week tour of Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet was great - it did what it said on the tin! Yes, there was a lot of overland travel - but it was necessary to
cover the vast distances in the time available and clear in the description. It was an amazing opportunity to have a glimpse of three different countries in a
brief break from work. It was great that all the visas were handled by this operator in Nepal, so all I had to do was book my flight, pay and turn up!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


So many things…. The amazing hospitality of the folks along the way….a truly remarkable landscape….foods that delighted.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Make a good plan and then be flexible. Floods and landslides were part of the story during my recent visit. Just when I thought there was no way, the company helped find one.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


Taxes for overnight visitors and fees to visit significant sites, various guides made a point of the positive financial impact of tourism. Yes, I was also aware of how well I was treated and fed along the way. This has to be hard on the average citizen.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Fantastic.

Responsible Travel

As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing we've worked to maximise the benefits of your holiday to local people and places, and minimise any negative impacts.

Planet

Why these countries are so attractive to travellers all around the world? Because nature is stunning. Our responsibility is to keep clean the environment, otherwise, the charm will be lost. Our guides are taught to keep clean not only in tourist destinations but also to educate locals to do the same and integrate this idea with culture, to establish a new tradition not to litter and be responsible for the world we live in the plastic-free world.

Wildlife in Asia is well protected and the population of rare animals is growing. A big role plays Buddhistic way of life: to have harmony and balance in all. Lots of Nationals Parks and Sanctuaries are supported only from tourism income and it is obvious when you enter those places: no hunting, no ritual killings, roads to mark the area for people routes and the rest is given for the wildlife inhabitants. We do not promote and do not support any activities that can harm wildlife. No need to say it is not encouraged to feed wild animals or to throw food where they can get it. Why? It causes poisonings, animals get used to humans easily and, the most significant reason, in order to access easy food animals can become angry and dangerous for people, destroy villager's houses and fields.

Water has never been a problem for the Himalayas region but you should forget about bottled mineral water during our tours as we are against the use of plastic. Our guides are well trained and know spots where to get spring water and refill your bottle, or we use water purifying tablets to clean the water. In places where we use bottled mineral water, like in big cities, please consult with our guides on how to utilize the plastic wisely.

The solar panel is a good source to charge your devices on the go and still many tea and guesthouses use solar panels as their only way to have electricity.

People

As being a local company we support local business: promoting homestays if possible to give families opportunity in additional income, local owned guest and tea houses, buying food from farmers that are organic products and create a demand in agriculture. We promote local cuisine as it requires not imported foods to prepare. By ordering western food you support import business, not always run by locals. We ask everyone to be humble during the trip and spend 21 days as a local: live, eat and sleep as we do. The best way is not to observe on distance but to try it personally. Dal Bhat carries the same name everywhere, but he tastes differs from place to place, from house to house along with masala tea.

We promote the traditions and cultures of every country, also we don't want them to receive influence from outside. That's why during the festivals and rituals we invite our travellers to take an active part in everything that is happening and share the moments of joy with locals in a respective manner.

We promote small tour groups and tailor-made trips to make the best for everyone.
