Great experience with an amazing supporting team behind the itinerary to make sure everyone truly enjoys this experience. Great company with great itineraries.
Agustin Aug, 2024 VerifiedThe Himalayan Adventure was amazing. I went during monsoon season so the weather wasn?t great when we were in Nepal, but we made the best of it. I learned and saw beautiful things from each country. This tour was just an introduction to these countries, and I can?t wait to go back! G Adventures has good itineraries with knowledgeable guides.
