  • The 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.
