Gosainkunda-Langtang Trek
Gosainkund and Langtang Trek
Great trek, quite challenging (lots of long ascents and descents) but rewarding. Very varied scenery, flora, fauna, and culture. Our guide, Raja, was excellent in all respects from professionalism, organisation, communication, sense of humour, and to care of his clients and his porter/sherpa team. The Langtang Valley, parts of which were devastated by the 2015 earthquake, was quite busy with trekkers and mule traffic in contrast to the much quieter Gosainkunda area to the south of the Lauribina La. Overall we had a fantastic holiday enhanced by our guides/porters and our fellow trekkers.

What Might Have Been....
Walking Holiday on the Captivating Cape Verde Islands
Impossible to review this trip without it being overshadowed by the disruption caused by the prior rescheduling and then cancellation of the internal flights from Fogo and then onto Sao Vicente.
We might have just been unlucky but that warning in the Trip Notes is there for a reason....
When the trip was good, it was very good but the best part of four days was ripped out of our trip during which time we did very little walking.
All part of "adventure travel" but
communication could have been much better and it really should not have been down to the Group to ask if the Balcony walk could be rescheduled so that we did not miss out on that as well.

KE Adventure reply

Thank you for your review Simon. As you know from our correspondence at the time, we fully sympathise with the frustration you felt. You definitely were very unlucky. It is true that we warn of the possibility of delays to the internal flights in our Trip Notes. The airline that operates these flights between the islands has a limited stock of planes and even small delays can have a knock-on effect across the schedules. However, we have never known a previous incident where the flight was delayed by two full days. As you now know, the national airline (which previously only operated international flights), has stepped in to provide inter-island services and this should improve the situation going forward.

Fantastic landscape and villages
Secret Trails of the Tribal Heartland
I recently went on your trekking holiday the tribes of north vietnam

i haven't been on many organised group holidays so was a bit apprehensive.
I would like to say how KE and its agency out in Vietnam exceeded my expectations in many ways
I just wanted to see the wet ricefields and explore the villages and see the landscapes.
IT was really great, The choices of the locations was superb , they were varied, sometimes awe inspiring and despite the misty weat
her there were fantastic views.
All the homestays were really good, a great deal of care with the food, always lots to choose from.
I really congratulate the team who set up the destinations. The groundwork must have been very detailed.
Our guide T could not have been better, so many good qualities in describing and explaining everything whether it was the agriculture , the history, the different village tribes, the background to everything.
He was sensitive to our every need and when one of our party was sick he was very caring and reassuring in making some arrangements for her to rest and catch up with the group again when she felt better.
He was really good in choosing cafes along the way , making us picnic lunches and when the werather was bad, quickly adjusting the route a bit to avoid the slippery mud. I hope you will pass on this to his boss in Vietnam as he was quite outstanding.

.
I personally would like to return to some of the places we saw and stay and sketch with friend, rather than moving on each day, but ill have to organise that myself as i don't think you do custom tours ?
But I hope to join another of your treks in the future

A genuinely memorable experience
Victoria Falls to Cape Town
This trip was everything I could have hoped for in an overall experience that I think will be difficult to match. The combination of fabulous landscapes, wildlife and cycling is a potent mix making for a truly memorable time. The cycling itself was varied in both difficulty and ease, no two days being identical due to changes in conditions and surfaces. There is no doubt some was very challenging but in turn rewarding. Once in the “flow”and acclimatisation having been made each day was diffe rent and always pushing my own boundaries in a positive way. The esprit de corps was excellent and everyone pulled together as a cohesive and sociable unit.

The landscape and environment continuously changed with amazing light changes and vistas that were hard to capture simply by photography, it was an mesmerising experience. The wildlife did not disappoint, with numerous sightings and close up encounters with a wide variety of animals. It felt very natural and with a lightness of touch, seeing wild animals in their natural habitat and not feeling intrusive.

The team, Bradley,Charles and Sandeles were second to none, working tirelessly to give the group the best possible experience they could hope for. Their combined knowledge of animals and the environment was second to none and their mechanical, practical and driving skills were top notch. They were truly professional on all levels giving a huge sense of reassurance and support, as well as being great company.

I totally recommend this trip if you want to push yourself and have a genuinely memorable experience.

Camel-tastic trip, great for active kids
Camels on the Beach Family Morocco Holiday
We had a wonderful week in Morocco, in the safe and kindly hands of the lovely Mohamed, who formed an instant bond with ours boys (aged 9 and 12), and organised everything faultlessly. Highlights included the camels, extraordinarily varied and well-presented food, even when a few hours walk from civilisation, finding a scorpion at the campsite (really!), the visit to an argan oil cooperative, and surfing. The walking can be fairly strenuous for small ones when it is hot, as there is little shade , but there is a good variety of activities, with something for everyone, and lots of swimming opportunities. Food was delicious and most meals accommodated a picky 9yo (perhaps have a few cereal bars / apples on standby when camping), and when wet and windy weather threatened the night camping, Mohamed effortlessly switched the itinerary to push it back a couple of days. If I would do anything differently, it would be to avoid Ramadan, when it was clear that long days in the heat serving our needs were placing additional strain on the local crew. I recommend a couple of extra days in Marrakesh, in a riad in the old town, at the end!

A truly wonderful holiday!
Vietnam from North to South

Excellent trip and amazing experience. A very full programme which worked well. I was impressed when we could not visit the Ho Chi Minh complex as it was closed, that Nhan took us back there on the last day. Well planned itinerary and wonderful range and diversity of visits and activity. Lots of delicious food and some very comfortable hotels. Nhan took good care of us and was full of fun as well as being very informative.

Unforgetable adventure
Victoria Falls to Cape Town

Its been an unforgetable adventure. Bradley led a tour I was on last year: it was he who mentioned about this trip to me and the fact he would lead it made me coming on this trip a no-brainer... he is a top man as well as being a top trip leader. Support team: worked 24hrs to be the best, which is what they are.

Everest Basecamp Trek
Everest Base Camp Trek

Extremely well organised. Sonam was an extremely professional, knowledgable and experienced guide. We also enjoyed evening talks on topics such as Buddhism, mountaineering and the caste system which enhanced our knowledge and understanding of Nepal. Sonam made this a once in a lifetime holiday! Highlight - The journey itself, following in the footsteps of mountaineers and learning about the sherpa people.

Lovely limestone, ancient terraces
Secret Sierras of the Costa Blanca

Everyone loves limestone landscapes and this series of expertly-curated walks provides plenty of interest. The extent of ancient terracing is remarkable. Food is generally very good. A KE grade 6 meant I was adequately stretched (I usually go for higher grades).

Desert Days
Edge of the Sahara Trek

Fantastic experience that far exceeded my expectations. Dark desert nights under amazing star filled skies, dreamy desert vistas and great food. This trip spent just the right amount of time in what can be quite harsh conditions. The journey to and from the desert is quite long (7+ hrs) but plenty of interesting landscapes to pass the time.

Our crew were great , even during Ramadan which was quite challenging for them. Our group bonded from day one and we had a lot of fun.

Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek
Annapurna Sanctuary was a beautifully organized trip, all parts working. Great communication, great staff throughout. Jangbu Sherpa was beyond outstanding in every way. He knows exactly what he is doing, maintains a beautiful self-effacing sense of humor and quiet confidence even as it soon becomes obvious that he sees everything and knows how to help along the way in a graceful way that responds immediately to both group and individual needs. A very impressive and friendly man; I would trust hi m to take me anywhere.

Amazing varied trekking holiday
Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill Trek

A great experience exploring a very varied part of Nepal. The local team of porters and guides were amazing, and the scenery was the best we have seen anywhere - especially our days in the snow at Annapurna base camp.

Fantastic scenery
Self-Guided Walking on Cape Verde

Great walks along old established tracks and paths passing through fantastic scenery, irrigated terraces growing coffee , sugar cane etc, and local communities. On longer walks the conditions underfoot made the a bit more than ' leaisurely'.
