- AHollie Y· September 18th, 2019The trip was so fun, had loads of included activities and was really good value for money. We noticed some issues such as the porters not being paid fairly as their food and accomodation was not included whilst they were with us on the tour - having travelled with Gadventures before, I know they have a lot of projects setup to help the local community and this is why I would perhaps be more likely to recommend them over Intrepid.Show moreTrip date: January 2019

Traveler•Written April 2025I'm sorry to hear that the Essential Nepal tour isn't suitable for our group due to the age range and no exceptions accepted. Unfortunately, the other options don't fit our travel dates.
