China Highlights

Paul · Traveled October 2023
The trip was amazing, our guide was exceptional, and I felt we certainly saw the highlights of China and more! The pre-trip admin getting a visa is a bit of a faff but it's well worth the effort. I was expecting this to be great trip and on the whole it exceeded my expectations.

Tibet: Beijing to Kathmandu Overland

Reginald · Traveled October 2023
This was simply a perfect and incredible trip. It takes a lot of preparation for both the traveller and Intrepid, but it’s worth it. Tough physically and mentally but for me, life changing too. Go for it, you won’t regret it!

Good itinerary for all ages/physical abilities (although some may struggle on longer walks) along with friendly and knowledgeable tour leaders (Alan).

China Experience

Anita · Traveled August 2023
The accommodations were poor (cockroaches, musty/mildew smell, floor got flooded after shower). Should have more private transportation for the group instead of public trains where it was overcrowded and felt like sardines. At times, we were unable to take the oncoming train and had to wait for the next one which we had to split up so we could all fit into the same train. Should have at least 1 group meal a day instead of having us walk up and down the street trying to decide where to go or which is better.
