Just got back from the Camino de Santiago cycling trip and am filled with enthusiasm for all things Spanish, and all things cycling. Had a wonderful time, with a lovely group of people, and a guide and driver who did so much to make our week fun and enjoyable. The cycling was harder than we expected. There are no flat days, one day was slightly easier than the others but there were strenuous climbs almost every day. The days were long and there was very little ‘down time’. There are lots of rough tracks and steep descents on tricky terrain. A few of us felt that the holiday description should give more of an idea of what to expect. To complete every day requires a good level of fitness, determination and cycling experience
Our group varied widely in fitness and cycling. The fitter members coped easily, but others showed amazing and inspirational determination on some of the more difficult days
The group leader was lovely. He was friendly, kind, and helpful, and was brilliant with all of us.
Try to get some experience of cycling on rough tracks, and be prepared to spend long days on the saddle.
A truly unforgettable and magical trip which surpassed all of my expectations. If you’re going to take one Exodus trip, this should be it!
There were so many inspirational moments, but to name a few:Finding stunning and incredible views around every new corner.Watching the sun rise over the mountains at the third campsite, hugging mugs of warm tea whilst taking in the panoramic scenery.Walking through the sun gate to marvel our first glimpse of Macchu Picchu; not to mention basking in the magnificence of the lost city itself. Getting the hang of bartering at the market in Macchu Picchu - the selling pitches are much less aggressive here than in Cusco.Sipping nice cold Inca Kola in Macchu Picchu after our 4 day trek. Sitting in the main Plaza in Cusco, watching people go about their daily business.
Our group leader, Juan, was absolutely incredible; his enthusiasm was infectious and his infinite knowledge, his friendly yet professional manner were second to none. He made an already amazing trip absolutely unforgettable; nothing was too much trouble and he genuinely wanted to ensure that everyone had the holiday of a lifetime. What a star!
Take a warm sleeping bag! I used a 3 season bag and was freezing on a couple of nights. Take stuff sacks - the weight limit of 7KG of equipment meant that our clothes were pretty smelly by the end of the trip; being able to seal them away in stuff sacks prevented the whole bag smelling rotten!
A very very hard trip, but thoroughly worthwhile, although not for the faint hearted!
Reaching Uhuru peak after 8 hours of walking in the dark and freezing cold.
Abraham was brilliant, he did everything for us, especially on summit night and without him and the other guides our whole group may not have made it to the top.
Take a lot of glucose tablets, immodium and a platapus.
Had a great time, it’s a beautiful country with contrasts from the heat of the jungle to the cool tea plantations. Friendly people and lots of interesting sights to see, and of course baby elephants!
There were loads of interesting things - the temples at Dambulla and Polonnaruwa, and the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy. Enjoyed the elephant ride, and seeing elephants try to push each other into the water at the orphanage. We were lucky enough to be there at the time of the festival in Kandy which was brilliant. Also were lucky to see two leopards on the safari at Yala National Park. Enjoyed the walk on Horton Plains, high up in the mountains, and the Hill Club which felt like being in an Agatha Christie novel.
We had Roshan Fernando who was brilliant. He always gave us loads of info about what we'd be doing every day, how long it would take to get to places and what clothes would be suitable e.g. if we were going to temples or walking in the jungle. He told us all about the history, culture and customs of the country, always making it sound fresh and interesting. Loves dropping in jokes and sayings at every opportunity and had us all singing along with him and the mariachi band at a couple of hotels!
Definitely give this trip a try. I've never been anywhere like it before and really enjoyed it. There are some early starts but it's worth it and you get to see a lot, it's a very varied country.
An excellent introduction to East Africa and its wildlife.
The gorilla trek was quite amazing. To get that close to such magnificent animals was an emotional moment. We were also lucky enough to do the balloon trip over the Masai Mara. Looking down over tens of thousands of wildebeest was breathtaking.
Emias was a star. Nothing was too much trouble. He was very well organised. Skilled at dealing with a disparate group of people. Did his job calmly and efficiently. Hugely knowledgable and enthusiastic about all aspects of the trip. Leo and Francis (cook and second driver) were equally as skilled and as personable. Together they made a great team.
Take as good a head torch as you can get, we used them a great deal. Quite cool in the evenings, need a fleece or similar. You will take loads of photos - have enough memory cards. Truck has charging points, so batteries are easily recharged. Some long days on truck over rough roads but plenty to see.
A fantastic trip – great organisation, lovely route with stunning scenery, and nicely relaxed riding. A really good group too.
Seeing the wonderful coastal scenery from the bike (and getting to the top of the hills, especially on the days where we had a strong head-wind!)
Michele was great - very knowledgeable & nothing was too much trouble. He was also a very good laugh! Good support from Enrico too, especially organising a very nice beach picnic!
Padded cycle shorts a must. I took my gel saddle cover but it didn't fit the hire bikes. Not TOO painful though...
A great holiday with good company , ahappy group . our leader Graham was excellent and careing [ i was one of the slower walkers] graham helped on several occassions and carried my pack one day! he was ably assisterd by our chef tout les jours chris. accomplished miracles of food preperation sometimes in difficult circumstances. would call the tour an enjoyable experience rather than a holiday
reaching the sumitt of le breton 2,527mts the last ascent of 1,500mts having set off at 06-30am so as not to slow the rest of group.Followed by the last 3 hours, walking a scenic route along the valley contouring to the cable car at F ?? with 2 Aussies and an Irish colleen!!.
excellent character cannot reccommend him more highly.
make sure you'r fit and don't underestimate the amount of ascent and descent on the trip. It helps if you have a GSOH
This is an excellent trip. Every day is so different and there is something new around every bend. Cycling is a super way to see what this part of India has to offer. Not only do you get to see the sights but you also get to hear the sounds and smell the smells as you cycle by. You would miss so much if you travelled by bus or car. The cycling is very doable with the climb to Ooty the only really big challenge. On some days we did cover large distances but these are broken up with tea stops and a lunch stop. The trip covers a hugh variety from the busy streets of Mysore to the stunning Bandipur National Park and the quiet backroads and backwaters of Kerala. One of the best trips I’ve been on!
Reaching the summit of Ooty was a great achievement, having counted every one of the 36 hairpin bends on the way up! We were also very lucky to see a tiger while on the jeep safari in the National Park which was fantastic. Another enjoyable morning was cycling through the heavy rain and trying to cycle through an almost foot deep flood! The houseboats on the backwaters were also fantastic.
Our group leaders Safi and Joseph and our backup driver Shibu were all superb. They were very knowledgable of the area and did everything they could to ensure we were happy with the trip. They were very diligent in looking after and maintaining the bicycles. Safi gave us a run down on the following day each evening after dinner and gave us directions each morning on the day's cycle.
No need to bring bicycles from home as the bicycles used are of excellent quality. Would recommend bringing a gel saddle or saddle cover from home as some days are quite long.Safi suggested a group kitty which covered all tips and meals not included on the trip. This was a great idea as we all joined together for each meal and it saved all the hassle of splitting bills etc. We were also brought to some very different places to eat which we possibly wouldn't have gone into on our own.
An excellent holiday. It was fun mixing with people from different backgrounds and ages (37 to 66). Everyone bar us was a regular Exodus traveller, and I think we will travel with them again.
Excellent. Audrey was very well organised (and amazingly fit!). We also had Fernando on the trip to learn the ropes, and they made an first rate team, complementing each other very well. Both had a good sense of humour and were immensely patient and encouraging even when the group was feeling a bit low due to occasional wet weather, tiredness and mosquito bites. They were flexible in responding to individuals' requests. The cooking and catering was superb.
The trip notes suggested that regular walkers in Snowdonia (which we are) could easily manage this trip. In fact we found the altitude made quite a difference, although we did acclimatise as the holiday went on. There were no drying rooms in any of the camp sites, which we understand is standard for Canada. Apart from the odd thunderstorm, we enjoyed excellent weather. All the walks were first rate, and very different from each other.Air Canada wre friendly and efficient and the Canadians really are amazingly polite and welcoming. Going through Canadian Security at the airport was a pleasure (a rare one for most of us).
The stars don’t really do this trip just. The trip was INCREDIBLE and I would recommend climbing Kilimanjaro to anyone, without hesitation. I’d do it again, just not with Exodus. Exodus added no value (in fact at times they negatively impacted my trip); the real superstars were African Walking Company. AWC made the trip the unforgettable, fun, safe trip it was.
The trail of lights snaking up the mountain on summit day.Getting to Uhuru despite hours of altitude sickness and the constant fear that I couldn't go on.Arriving at Mwenzi camp in the glorious sunshine and being faced with the awesome terrifying beauty of the rocky landscape.Singing with the guides.
Tosher and his assistant guides were rockstars. They're genuine and kind and have awesome senses of humour. They were incredibly patient. My Kili Angel was Christopher who kept my buoyant (and held back my hair when needed!) on summit day. He kept me smiling and walking.
Eat lots the day before summit day. You'll need the energy.Bring with you waterproof cover for your pack.A body warmer/gillet is an essential clothing item.Don't forget hand sanitiser or tissues. You'll need to blow your nose a lot.Camel pack is the best water carrier.
