What travelers are saying

"Chopta batch 22-26 Jan First of all I would like to say that I was forced to write the review because i saw that go hikes was not taking any responsiblity for the shortcomings of the trip and instead anyone who has spoken was removed from the whatsapp group. Some people in group had choosen harsh languages as their journey was far worse than mine, but still they should not threaten others to stop from giving the honest review. They even don't follow the written itineary. Please refer the following link for their itinieary. Https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oy8qu5-l9u5y9nc2pifuddda1seshtq1/view?usp=sharing 1. No trek guide provided for the trek to Tungnath as promissed. 2. Two trek leaders were provided but they were also first time in chopta( but go hikes team forcefully says that they were well aware of Chopta ) 3. Neither of the trek leader assisted us to peak of Chandrashilla. 4. Driver is flatly denying to go to trek starting point and trek leaders have to convince him. It is responsiblity of go hikes to explain everything in advance to the driver. 5. Vehicle was oversized to reach sari village(Deoritaal trek) and it was choosen by the experienced team of go hikes(they should have done two tempo travellers if there was such problem). Driver had valid reason to deny due to safety issue but we are glad that he took us there. But an unapologetic go hike teams reply is that they have done a favour to us by convincing the driver. 6. They promissed to show confluence of rivers in Devprayag and Rudraprayag but neither of them was covered even after complaining to trek leaders. 7. On complaining they are saying that you came down from trek late as if they had informed us earlier about some time limit. We did as per guidance by our trek leaders. I can share lots of new complains( like we got to eat dinner at 2.30 am and 6.30 am thanks to driver who chooses specific shiva dhaba only). 8. I travelled under the banner of go hikes so i am complaining to them .may be some other company had outsourced their trip to them.but while complaining they are asking to talk to personwith whom you have done the booking. No one takes ownership. Now a specific problem faced by a freind. We were to return on 26th jan 2021.he was expecting the kisaan agitation on that day. He was travelling with ladies so for safety he enquired wether it's ok to travel,in case of any problem will they assist and their response was affirmative. But he was left to face a situation where he has to deal with tear gas and stampede with a ladies on the road. I am not here to malign any company. Our overall experience was good.there were some shortcomings that i mentioned above. But the way these guys treated us after the trip is not acceptable. I have a right to complain and you need to apologize."

Highlights

  • Cape Route 62: Along South Africa's famous country road you'll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, rugged Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards.
  • Big 5 Game Drive: Spot Africa’s Big 5 from the safety of a 4x4 vehicle in their natural habitat on a malaria-free game reserve. Led by an experienced game ranger you’ll search for lion, white rhino, buffalo, elephant, kudu, zebra, wildebeest and giraffe - just to name a few. Leopards are rarely seen.
  • Cango Wildlife Ranch: Tour this multi-accredited conservation facility with over 90 species, including some of the world's most endangered animals. Get the opportunity to meet some animals in an optional close encounter. The perfect photo opportunity to get close and stroke a hand-reared cheetah or even dive with crocs.
  • Wilderness Canoe: Evergreen temperate forests merge with rocky beaches to touch the warm Indian Ocean. Lagoons and strings of shining lakes beg to be explored. Canoe on streams in the Wilderness National Park and watch the bird life while you glide over the water on your encounter with Mother Nature; or follow the shady footpaths that wind through a wonderland of giant trees into the forest
  • Myoli Beach: This stretch of white beach starts at the Sedgefield Lagoon mouth - an unspoiled paradise with the Indian Ocean’s warmer waters. Nothing happens quickly in this ‘Slow Town’ - a small town community focused on celebrating local arts & crafts and a natural way of life. Situated between Knysna and Wilderness - this beautiful seaside village is surrounded entirely by lakes, fynbos covered dunes and forests

Budget Travel Tour Selection Trips

  • Shop around. When paying for anything from flights to accommodation to luggage to a place to eat, the first price you find is unlikely to be the cheapest.
  • Do as the locals do. Eating at local cafes or street stalls instead of restaurants and traveling by local bus instead of taxi will not only stretch your budget further, but will give you a more authentic experience of the country too.
  • Choose your destinations wisely. Obviously traveling in Southeast Asia is going to be far cheaper than traveling in Europe, but a little research will show that Cambodia is also cheaper than Vietnam.
  • Significant discounts on accommodations and activities are often available during the off season. Student discounts may also be available, especially in Europe and the Americas, and some travel companies issue an intentionally recognized student card (ISIC) for those under 26 (even non-students).
  • If you're trying to stretch your budget, then accept a certain level of discomfort. You may not have a hot shower, or gourmet meals, or a private room, but it's worth it when it means you get to travel longer for less.
  • Have a splurge day every now and again. Treat yourself to a tasty meal, a softer bed, or whatever comfort you have been craving.
  • Consider working or volunteering abroad. It's a great way to travel without having to spend too much. Even if paid employment is hard to come by, you can often find work in exchange for a room or meals.
  • Don't become a slave to your budget! It's easy to fall into the habit of saying "I can't do that, it's too expensive.” But if you say this too often, you may return home having missed out on some once in a lifetime opportunities.
