Had some reservations about dormitory sharing as I had not done anything like that for quite a few years. but everything went well and thanks to a really first class guide it was a great success.
Getting to the end of a six hour hike and realising I had achieved it at my age (76).
First class, knowledgeable, with a good sense of humour and looked after any individual problems
Be prepared for difficult underfoot conditions. Found this a bigger problem than the altitude.
The whole holiday was a sensory overload. The contrasts between city life (Kathmandu/Pokhara), village life and mountain life were fantastic to experience.
Poon Hill - simply breath taking views - we managed to get up there for both sunset and sunrise. Even more rewarding was the apple crumble and custard at the lodge on the way down!!!
All of the Exodus team were fantastic on the holiday - never failing to stop and offer help - even to hold my walking poles everytime I wanted to stop and take a photo!!!
Expect to be wow'ed by every morning view - some afternoons we'd reach the lodges in the clouds to then wake up in the morning with the most overwhelming views of mountains all around us.
A well put-together trip with a good selection of the jewels of Jordan.
7 Pillars of Wisdom in the Wadi Rum, Petra - the Treasury and the Monastery, Petra by night - walking through the Siq and seeing the treasury for the first time, Floating in the Dead Sea, Snorkelling in the Red Sea - coral wildlife and a submerged American anti-aircraft vehicle under the waves, Jerash, sleeping around a camp fire in the desert... the whole trip was good in beautifully eroded landscapes...
Khaled was perfect for the job. Good knowledge, of course, but he interacted very well and professionally with the entire group, has a great sense of humour and kept us on track with the Petra walks and selecting local restaurants for dinner. Can't recommend him highly enough.
Amman: round 2-pin plug (European style). Petra+Aqaba: 3 pin plug (UK style) but not sure about the voltage (phone seemed to be charging for hours longer than normal). No kettles in any hotel room. Take a bath plug. Bobble hat and gloves for the desert night - esp if sleeping under the stars. ATMs or Cash Exchanges everywhere we went (in towns), travellers cheques taken nowhere(!), $ welcome.Lack of alcohol in most places (except Aqaba) - food and bar bills often have 10% service charge and 16% tax added on top of the price shown - this drops to 10% plus 7% tax in Aqaba ('tax-free zone'). Walking boots recommended for Petra, some places - viewpoints etc - might need a head for heights (but they're not too bad generally). November holiday = early starts, dark by 5.00pm so antiquities etc close about 4pm. Desert was cold - November nights, it actually gets even colder first thing in the morning before heating up again. Can be cold in the shade everywhere - take a fleece if you'll be out all day/in the canyons etc, even whilst walking (unless you're Scottish and can handle the cold).
The holiday exceeded expectation, it was a lot more varied than I anticipated.
The most inspirational moment was cycling through the desert, some amazing views and colours seen in the sandstone hills. You were able to lose yourself in the beauty.
The group leader was great. He had some wierd and wonderful stories to keep us entertained and was good at keeping us on track :)
Layers are a good idea, it's cold in the hills & desert at night (I think both in winter and summer months), and the temperature varies a lot during the day as you travel from high ground to low, i.e. above 1000M to below 400M where he dead sea is.
Fantastic Off Road trip. Really varied terrain. Some big climbs but lots more super fast descents.
I loved the optional single track. Also cycling through the palmeries was a real highlight; I couldn't help feel that i was cycling through paradise.
Liz was first class. She knows the routes and the country like the back of her hand.
Definitely take a small pump with you if you have one.
A whistle stop tour of the main highlights of Northern India on this very crammed itinerary. You see lots, but you also see alot of the inside of a coach!
Seeing Tigers in Ranthambore, the Taj Mahal at dawn and seeing it change colour, dinner in Udaipur overlooking the lake and city palace.
Got us safely round, and took care of everything. A bit of a lack of understanding as to what appeals to his clients but nothing serious.
There are lots of India trips out there so think carefully about which one you book. This in my opinion is a full 14 day trip condensed down. There is no time for relaxing, casual shopping or sitting in a cafe and watching the world go by. You go as a group everywhere and everything is pre-arranged. The group had a (minor) mutiny twice and slipped the leash to go out to dinner in Udaipur (as opposed to stay in the hotel for dinner) and to hit the bazaars in Jaipur for some shopping. It's hard to be too down on this trip as you see and experience some amazing things but just book it with your eyes open. If you are well travelled or have been travelling on your own you may just go a little stir crazy in such an controlled environment.
I throughly enjoyed the trek, it was the experience of a lifetime. So many memories I will never forget. The expertise of the Exodus guides was certainly an integral part of the enjoyment of my trip.
The summit of Goyko Ri, with the exceptional panaromic views of the mountain. This was a particularly challenging walk as it snowed the day before our hike up to the top. But this made it all the more beautiful and rewarding as we slipped at slide all the way down!!
Lhakpa Tenzing Sherpa was an excellant leader. He made everyone feel safe, well fed and looked after. He made the trek extra special for us by letting us meet members of his family.
To hire kit in Nepal from Shona's Trekking gear, as its very reasonably priced and good quality equipment.
A very enjoyable trip which was well organised and provided a great opportunity to experience much of what Jordan has to offer in a short space of time.
There was so much that I really enjoyed about this trip that it is hard to think of one moment.... The best thing about this trip was that you get to experience so much in just over one week. There is the cycling, a bit of culture and history, hiking in Petra, the camp in Wadi Rum, floating in the Dead Sea, snorkelling in the Red Sea, experiencing a Turkish bath..... a really good trip if you want to see as much of Jordan as possible and only have a week to spare.
The group leader, Zuhair, was very enthusiastic, knowledgable and full of weird and wonderful stories. He also provided much entertainment showing off his Arabic dance moves at lunch stops. Very good fun but also took his job seriously at the same time, ie if there was a problem he would do his best to solve it for you.
There was not as much cycling as I had expected, ie. there were four days where you only cycle for a couple of hours (and the cycling is pretty easy with just a couple of hills) and only one 'proper' day's cycling. There are a few climbs and one fairly steep descent on a rough road, but nothing that would challenge an experienced cyclist. This was not a massive problem for me personally as my motivation for booking this trip was to explore Jordan and the cycling was more of an added bonus, and there are plenty of other activities as well as the cycling. However anyone who's priority is to do lots of cycling might be a bit disappointed - for example in Petra you spend much more time hiking than cycling. If you are going as a couple make sure you specify if you want double beds - the couples in our group only got a double bed for one of the eight nights and twin beds the rest of the time. It is cold in November, take lots of layers and definitely take a sleeping bag for the Wadi Rum camp. Take a torch as well!
Having not done a holiday like this before I didn’t know what to expect but it surpassed all my expectations, every day brought the most amazing experiences or stunning landscape – it was truly spectacular!
There are way too many to name just one inspirational moment - standing on top of Sigiriya Rock, watching and feeding the elephants at the elephant orphanage, The World's End at Horton Planes, the train ride to Banadarawela, the stunning tea plantation landscape and the wonders of Yala National Park name just a few of the amazing moments we experienced on this fantastic holiday.
Roshan was excellent, organised, easy going, knowledgeable and friendly - the perfect tour leader and a leader that got no end of compliments from the seasoned group travellers from within the group! An excellent tour leader who helped make the holiday what it was.
Take good walking shoes, plenty of shorts for the walking portions of the holidays (though for the temples you need to cover your shoulders and your knees). Ladies you may want to take a dress and chaps may want to pop a jacket into the mix for one of the evening meals (I'm not sure that the accommodation is the same all of the time but you may just need it). Take plenty of deet bug spray and lots of memory cards for your cameras. Beware of local animals - especially at the hotel on the South Coast - don't leave items un attended on sun beds or put put items of clothing out to dry on the ground floor terraces as you may find the animals take a liking to them and you won't see them again (I lost my walking shoes!).
First time travelling with Exodus….certainly will not be the last!
Being woken up at 4.45am one morning in the cold with a cup of tea from the porters. We were above the clouds and got up to watch the sunrise over snow capped mountains with a blanket of cloud below us. Dont see that every day!
Could not have asked for a better guide. Juan Manuel Diaz was lively, funny and chock full of information both local and about Inca civilization. There was nothing we asked he did not have an answer for.
This was the first time I have been camping. Personally did not get on with a 'mummy' sleeping bag, friends insist on them but I found it claustrophobic and cramped. Other than that had a whale of a time.
