We have undertaken 2 Intrepid Tours across 5 countries in the last 4 months. Intrepid stands out to us as an organisation with integrity. We love that they seem to hunt out local people who have a gift or skill, and through bringing tours through, enable them to have an income and an opportunity to thrive. We also love the visits to social enterprises and the commitment to be better with their environmental responsibility. Every Tourguide has been native to the country we were visiting - this is integral for us. We are now huge fans and will recommend Intrepid to everyone back at home.

This was my first Intrepid trip and far exceeded any hopes or expectations. Our group leader was absolutely excellent, activities well led, and overall experience one I will always treasure.

This trip gave us every thing we were looking for and described in the pre trip information. Trip leader made it interesting and stress free. An unexpected benefit was the international group who added an unexpected but very enjoyable dimension.

Intrepid Travel’s “Premium Nepal” provides a superb, overall experience of the religious, historical, and natural beauty sites in Nepal.

This trip was amazing! The leader was excellent, the itinerary varied, and the cooking classes were terrific! Intrepid is now my tour company of choice!

The premium Nepal trip is excellent and I highly recommend it. It has wonderful activities and I learned so much. Our guide, Satya Kukak was so kind, helpful, informative and he made the trip smooth and fun. This is a trip you should not miss!

A truly fabulous trip! The highlights were the hike with breathtaking views and the Everest flight. The inclusion of visits to partner organisations that Intrepid support were fabulous and allowed us to ask questions along with our cooking classes. Subash was an amazing leader and made the whole experience incredible!

This trip is a gem! Nepal is so much more than just trekking, it has a rich history, wonderful nature, spectacular animals and a plethora of monuments, temples and important cultural sites. You will have a full active agenda for every day. Please take this trip, you will have the most wonderful experience! Note, there is a small hike included, but it was a walk on an uneven stony path so no advanced equipment needed, a sturdy pair of trainers is enough.

This is a great, jam-packed itinerary to see a lot of the best bits of Nepal. The trip is well-organised and has pretty much everything included- every day is filled with new activities. Our tour guide, Nabin, was fantastic- really knowledgeable, friendly and fun. I would highly recommend this trip.

In the UK Nepal is not considered a top tourist destination but I was curious and always had a love of mountains. I would now highly recommend the country for it's beauty' people and colour to all friends and relations. The various guides were all of the top calibre. I would advise all visitors to research the weather carefully as it was very warm and I didn't pack all the appropriate clothes. The weather was glorious.
11/12/2023
This trip was everything I had hoped for and more. There’s a great range of activities, the mountains are stunning and the people lovely. Satya, our guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and we were lucky to have him.
11/03/2023
A great trip to a beautiful country, hotels are of a high standard, a good varied itinerary for those who want more than hiking. Thanks to Satya who led our group, a knowledgeable, kind trip leader

This was our first group tour and we had a great time. Intrepid provided lots of information and our guide, excursions, accommodation and meals were excellent. Kathmandu is organised chaos and it was both exhilarating and a bit daunting but we always felt safe.
10/22/2023
The Premium Nepal trip was the best ever. Satya, our guide, really made the trip. He was so organised, and made everything flow so smoothly. He even made the clouds go away in Pokhara so we could see Machhapuchhare! I definitely recommend this trip.
10/24/2023
This was my first Intrepid tour and will not be the last. We were super impressed with the itinerary and how much we got do and see within the time without feeling pressed. The whole trip was lead by Satya, an excellent guide, who ensured we had a fantastic trip and left Nepal with a fuller understanding of the country, its people and its wildlife. I will recommend this trip to all.

An excellent tour led by Bipin, who was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of visiting Nepal.
10/28/2023
Excellent trip... Great adventure and extremely well looked after throughout...
10/19/2023
Nepal is a teeming third world country, be prepared for a hectic time in kathmandu itself, having said that, it was a fascinating, welcoming country. The departure from western culture was such a refreshing experience. I loved the way everyday life is lived in the streets among the temples and open air markets and shops. It was like stepping back in time.

Full on trip with early starts. You need to accept ups and downs. We had great views of Everest and rhinos but weather cost us a flight and so some other opportunities. Very well organised.
