I was initially nervous about taking the leap and joining a group tour as a solo female traveller. Having just arrived home from this trip, I realise that it was one of the best experiences of my life to date. I have made memories for life

I think the guides can really make or break a trip and the two that we had for both India and Nepal were the reason why we had such a fantastic time travelling with G-adventures.

I loved my G adventures and made some great life long friends. Saw great parts of the world and would use again if they upgraded the accomodation.
