Has anyone taken an STA Travel Nepal adventure tour?
Kate Good has noticed STA offering a ‘road to Kathmandu’ excursion and is asking if anyone on the EuroTrip forums has been on one: ‘I have only ever travelled on my own up to now, so not really sure what to expect’.
Profound cultural revelations? Hallucinations and blisters? Silly hats and lots of eye-spy? As you can tell, I haven’t partaken myself, so I need some friendly online travellers to give some advice instead. Whether you met ‘pilgrims, villagers, sadhus and shopkeepers’ on the 15-day Delhi to Kathmandu tour or experienced any of the STA Nepal excursions, visit the forum thread and tell Kate if it was a bum, or the bomb. I found a couple of old - although admittedly enthusaistic and detailed - blog entries from STA travellers doing the Nepalese tours here and here, but it would be nice to hear from someone who’s been a bit more recently.
The replies on Kate’s thread so far are mainly warning about the dangers of Maoists and altitude sickness, so I’m hoping someone somewhere has had a nice time on one, preferably in a silly hat.
