Makes me feel like a top G!

I really enjoyed my Himalayan Experience. I saw some many places and met amazing people I would never have been able to see. Group Sizes seem to be increasing at G-Adventures which is really disappointing.

Overall it was a great experience

Fantastic curation of activities in experiences over three amazing countries! Overall, I loved this tour and could never have duplicated these experiences on my own. It was terrific to meet a group of likeminded people from countries other than my own.

This was my first G Adventure tour but it won't be my last. I loved that my fellow travelers were from all over the world. It was just as much fun connecting with them, talking and sharing stories, as the actual tour.

It was still a good trip. The end and having to go home early was not G’s fault but the guide really helped me with getting someone to help me get to Kathmandu. I wanted to hike Tiger’s Nest but was unable to do so since it was on the last day.

Long and hard with a lot of steps and uneven surfaces to walk on. Tripping hazards everywhere. Overall good cultural experience but lacking in comfort.
