Your Guide To Walking & Trekking 2023/2024

Our expertise. YOUR ADVENTURE.

Welcome to our collection of Walking and Trekking adventures for 2023/24. I’m excited to share our 2023 line-up of incredible adventures with you. It comes as no surprise that demand for travel is the highest it’s been in years, prompted by those feelings and long-lasting memories travel brings, whether that’s the rush of adrenaline when you’ve reached a summit, the rewarding feeling you experience when completing one of the world’s classic circuits or the pleasure you get when you discover the heart of a region on foot.

Do you ever find that your next adventure is calling out to you? I do. Earlier this year I was lucky enough to visit the Treasury at Petra on our Petra & Wadi Rum adventure. I don’t know who was more excited, me or my kids. Talking with our guide Muayad one evening in our desert camp, he reminded me that our guides bring so much more than expertise. They tell the stories and really make our award-winning itineraries come to life. So why not get inspired by browsing through our collection and see which trips spark your interest? There’s no better time than the present to start planning for that trip of a lifetime in 2023.

Leading the way in incredible adventures, run responsibly, we’re thrilled to extend our support to Rewilding Europe, so they can

create new wildlife corridors in Croatia’s Velebit Mountains in addition to our existing work in the Italian Apennines. And as always, our expert local guides are continuing to find new ways of supporting local businesses across our destination communities.

We’re also excited to include a brand-new collection of Premium Adventures, which have all the quality of our highly-rated Exodus trips, but with the added extra of unique and premium accommodation in incredible places, and expert-named leaders. On our new walking and trekking trips, you can discover Cappadocia’s ancient Rose valley trails, trek through the Annapurna foothills in Nepal, or wander across the Douro Valley, Portugal’s premier wine region.

Not only are our adventures rated “Excellent” on Trustpilot, but we’ve also been named as a Which? recommended provider for seven years running, so you can rest assured that you’re travelling with an award-winning tour operator you can trust.

So, begin your journey today and book an incredible and unique adventure with Exodus, Your Guide to the World.

ADVENTURE Inspiring

Since 1974

More than 40 years ago, we took a group of adventurers to the Minaret of Jam in the heart of Afghanistan on the back of our Bedford truck on a mission to see the world for ourselves. It was the first Exodus trip, a chance to venture into the unknown with fellow explorers, to meet people along the way who could share perspectives different to our own, and to see the diverse destinations that they called home.

Four decades on, our expert guides still look forward to welcoming you and your fellow explorers to discover

the world around us and have been working closely with our local partners to ensure our trips continue to offer a real spirit of adventure while travelling safely.

Since our first trip back in 1974, our passion for travel, culture and discovery has only grown. So too have the friendships forged with those that warmly welcome us. As we support local communities that we visit, we continue to immerse ourselves in the sights, sounds, tastes and experiences of their wonderful homelands. Come and see for yourself on an Exodus adventure.

Promising to reduce our carbon emissions and protect our planet’s biodiversity, we’re proud to have launched our Nature First commitment to become nature net positive by 2024. Partnering with Rewilding Europe, one of our most recent conservation projects aims to rewild 5,000 hectares in the Italian Apennines, allowing for safe passage of local wildlife and to help increase the endangered Marsican bear population.

Taste home-grown delicacies with Lina Exodus Expert Tour Leader

Sharing her passion for the Douro Valley with everyone she meets, Lina loves taking her customers on walks along the banks of the Cabril River, over medieval bridges and through the best terraced vineyards in Portugal. With an outstanding knowledge of the region’s agriculture, Lina introduces her group to local farmers and shepherds en route for produce tastings of seasonal fruits such as fresh oranges, grapes and cherries. She comments, “I’m always fascinated by the way man and nature are able to coexist in harmony across the Alvao and Mondim de Basto regions. Even though Portugal is such a small country,

“I’m fascinated by the way man and nature are able to coexist in harmony across the Alvao and Mondim de Basto regions. Taste the region by trying “pataniscas”, omelettes with chorizo and glasses of Vinho Verde.”

the diversity of flora and fauna you’ll encounter within a small distance is remarkable. On this trip, you’ll be able to taste the flavours of the region in a local restaurant, run by Alice, where the bread is baked fresh in a wood-burning oven, and we can try her “pataniscas”, a rural, popular cod fritter and omelettes with chorizo made from eggs collected from her chicken farm. Even her Vinho Verde is homemade.” A visit to the organic wine estate, Quinta das Escomoeiras, on the banks of the Tâmega River, allows more opportunities for tasting the local produce with chilled glasses of Vinho Verde.

PANORAMIC TREKS

There’s nothing quite like walking in the great outdoors and soaking in the sweeping mountain vistas. If you’re looking to beat your personal best or try something new, we have some of the finest walking and trekking trails in the world to choose from.

1. THE EVEREST BASE CAMP

Head out on the expedition of a lifetime and follow in the footsteps of the great climbing parties to the Everest Base Camp. Enjoy high-altitude trekking through the wild Sherpa country, where you’ll pass local teahouses, Buddhist stupas and the ancient monastery at Thyangboche, which offers glorious views of Everest, Nuptse, and Ama Dablam. If you wish to go further, you can climb higher to Kala Pattar, (5545m) for unobstructed vistas of the highest mountain on earth.

2. THE CLASSIC PATAGONIA TREK

On this trip, you’ll see sprawling glaciers, turquoise lakes, and towering peaks as Andean condors soar overhead. The panoramic viewpoints from Torres del Paine and the Fitzroy Massif are sure to surprise and delight. You can also witness icebergs plunging into the icy depths of Lake Argentino at the Perito Moreno Glacier viewing platform. A lesser-known vista starts on your walk to Los Cuernos – the views from the edge of Lake Nordenskjold are nothing short of spectacular.

4. THE CANADIAN ROCKIES WILDERNESS WALK

Boasting snow-capped peaks, milky-blue turquoise lakes, and fascinating wildlife, it doesn’t get wilder than walking the Canadian Rockies. On this trip, we trek through the best sections of British Columbia and Alberta from Jasper National Park to the famed landscapes of Lake Louise, while also ticking off Banff and showstopping panoramas in Yoho National Park. Notable vistas enroute are undoubtably the enormous Saskatchewan Glacier and Moraine Lake. The Sulphur Skyline trail with 360-degree mountain views is also a sight to see.

Canadian Rockies Wilderness Walks: EXODUS.CO.UK/PRW

3. WALKING THE PICOS DE EUROPA

With vast glacial lakes, perilous gorges and hidden valleys, the Picos de Europa is as pleasing to the eye as it is to trek. Winding through caves and across bridges, you can admire the limestone ridges, tumbling waterfalls and curious wildlife in the country’s oldest National Park, affectionately known as ‘Green Spain’. A short climb up to the ‘Collado De Los Buitres’ and its fabulous surroundings is a must. If you’re lucky, you may see Griffon vultures teetering above.

5. LADAKH: THE MARKAH VALLEY

Tucked away in the northeastern corner of India, between the Himalayas, and the Karakorum lies Ladakh, the country’s highest plateau. Savour spectacular views full of colourful prayer flags camping above Ganda La, sitting at 4,970m. The vistas of the Zanskar Range and Stok Mountains are almost ethereal. A winding path, on your descent, takes you to Tsemo Monastery, with lesser-known but impressive views of Leh and its remote mountain villages. Keep an eye open for blue sheep and marmots too.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

Having chosen the holiday you are interested in, below is some information which you may find useful in relation to your booking and holiday. Details correct at time of publication, please call or go online to check up-to-date booking conditions: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/ exodus-booking-conditions

1. Refer to the Trip Notes

The Trip Notes form part of our contract with you and they contain the most up-to-date information about the holiday, including details about the itinerary, inclusions and exclusions. Please download and take the latest version of the Trip Notes with you on your holiday.

2. About the trip

Is this trip for you?

We aim to provide detailed and accurate information in our documentation so that clients can assess their own suitability and fitness for a specific trip. We ask that you satisfy yourself prior to booking that you are able to complete the itinerary as described in the Trip Notes. All our trips feature Activity Level icons as guides to the type of itinerary and the level of challenge the trip will involve. An explanation of each Activity Level can be found at www.exodus.co.uk/activitylevels . Please let your sales consultant know during the booking process if you have concerns or queries about any aspects of the itinerary.

Participation

We ask our clients to always abide by the authority of the tour leader. There is an agreement in place between Exodus and our tour leaders, allowing them to exclude any client from part or all of a trip if it unfortunately becomes apparent that they cannot manage particular elements of a trip or are likely to put either themselves or other people at risk. It is, however, not a decision that is reached lightly or that is made frequently.

Pre-existing medical conditions

We ask you to let us know of any pre-existing conditions, illnesses, disabilities or recent surgeries which may affect your safety or other people’s enjoyment of the holiday. Please email CustomerServices@exodus.co.uk to make us aware of any pre-existing medical conditions. Our Trip Notes provide information on whether a particular holiday is considered to be suitable for a person with reduced mobility. There is no upper age limit on our tours, but as most holidays are quite active, we may ask clients over the age of 80 a number of questions about their health and fitness. We also require you to advise us of any dietary requirements in advance of a tour.

Accommodation

Our prices are based on twin-share accommodation which means that if you book on your own, we will arrange for you to share with a person of the same gender as per the information given to Exodus at the time of booking. We ask you to satisfy yourself that you do not have any conditions or preferences which may preclude you from sharing a room, and that you speak to your sales consultant if you would like to enquire about a single supplement.

Key information to help you prepare

Important trip documentation will be provided during the booking process and prior to your holiday. If you have any queries or notice any inaccuracies, please contact Exodus as soon as possible.

We are able to provide basic advice to clients regarding passports, visa and entry requirements, but you should check with the appropriate embassy, consulate or the British Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for the exact requirements for your chosen tour and date of travel. British nationals require a full passport which is valid for six months after the date of your scheduled return home. The Trip Notes for each holiday provide more detailed information on visa requirements.

We recommend that you contact your Medical Professional or a Travel Health Clinic for information about vaccinations or specific health risks in the area to which you are travelling. Please see the Practical Information section of the Trip Notes for information relating to vaccinations for your specific tour.

The Trip Notes also include information about packing suggestions and essential items that we recommend you bring on your holiday.

Risks of adventure travel

Whilst we ensure that all activities are operated to the local legal standard and that risk assessments are carried out annually, many of our holidays do carry an element of risk. On many of our tours, the areas are remote and events far less predictable than on a conventional holiday. Health, safety and operational standards, particularly of hotels and transport, are often not up to the levels we experience at home. We require that all the properties and transport we use comply fully with local regulations, but we do not guarantee the same standards as in your home country. If you choose to travel on this type of holiday, you must be prepared to accept that this is all part of the experience. Adverse weather conditions, political situations and a host of other uncontrollable factors can mean a change in itinerary. Outdoor activities are weather dependent to an extent and some can become dangerous in certain conditions. If the leader feels there is any heightened level of risk involved in an activity, they may amend or cancel it as they see fit. It is unlikely that an itinerary would be substantially altered, but if changes are necessary, we will make the best possible alternative arrangements which maintain the integrity of the original itinerary. We will do everything we can to minimise the effect, but we cannot be held responsible for the impact of changes outside our control.

Crime and other security risks exist in all countries and whilst travelling in a group is a safeguard, it is not a guarantee of safety. We will take all reasonable care of you and expect that you will take sensible precautions yourself.

3. Booking on a Flight Inclusive or Land Only Basis

Exodus holidays can be booked on a Land Only basis or with international flights. When booking on a Flight Inclusive basis, Exodus complies with our responsibilities under the ATOL regime. For all packages (Flight Inclusive or not) we comply with the Package Travel and Linked Travel Regulations 2018. In the event of a significant change to travel plans by an airline, we are responsible for ensuring that you can complete your journeys in a reasonable timeframe and without additional cost to yourself. Please see point 6 for more information on the Package Travel Regulations. Flight costs and supplements Flight Inclusive prices include return flights from a London airport and UK departure tax. Our Flight Inclusive trip prices include a base price for the flights, however this is always subject to availability at the time of booking as airfares are outside of our control. Where the cost of flights is higher than this base price, a flight supplement may be applicable; your sales consultant will be able to advise you if this is the case.

Transfers

If you are travelling on the designated group flights, return airport transfers may be included at the destination. If you are travelling on non-group flights, airport transfers may be at an additional cost unless shown in your documentation as a free or included transfer; please ask your sales consultant for transfer details during the booking process. If you book on a Land Only basis, services start and end at the local joining point detailed in your documentation.

4. How to book

If you would like to make a booking you can contact us in several ways: directly over the telephone (0203 993 9294), by email using Sales@exodus.co.uk , via our website www. exodus.co.uk and the Live Chat function on our website, or through an approved travel agent.

Travel insurance

Adequate and valid travel insurance for your chosen itinerary is compulsory for all travellers and it is a condition of accepting your booking that you agree you will have obtained adequate and valid travel insurance. We recommend you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for UK travellers on a UK only domestic trip then adequate and valid travel insurance is not compulsory, but we strongly recommend you have cover in place (in particular cover for cancellation, property & personal belongings).

5. Payment, cancellations and changes

Unless stated otherwise during the booking process or in the full terms and conditions, the following applies:

Deposit

You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 25% per person of your selected travel arrangements (minimum £300 per person or equivalent). You may also be required to pay on booking for any non-transferable and non-refundable items; your sales consultant will advise you of this during the booking process. Please note that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the deposit may be higher than those shown.

Final balance

We will invoice you for the remainder of the cost of your holiday, which must be paid prior to 90 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 90 days before departure where, for example, airlines require full payment on booking.

Making changes to your trip

Please contact Exodus as soon as possible if you wish to make a change to your existing booking, wish to change to a different tour or wish to change departure date. We will always endeavour to assist with the requested change, but this is subject to availability and payment may need to be made for non-refundable costs (for example from airlines) and other fees may also be applicable, including a £40 administration charge.

Cancellation conditions

You may cancel your tour at any time by providing written communication from the lead booker. As we start to incur costs from the time the contract is confirmed we will retain your deposit and will apply other cancellation charges as shown below. Please note, however, that for certain travel arrangements, including all Polar holidays, the cancellation charge may be higher than those shown; please ask your sales consultant for full details of cancellation charges at time of booking.

Full terms and conditions apply to your booking and can be found here: www.exodus.co.uk/about-exodus/exodusbooking-conditions

This link also includes information on our Privacy Policy and our Data Protection Commitment.

If we change or cancel your booking

We plan the arrangements for your tour many months in advance and may occasionally have to make changes, most of which are minor.

When a major change (as outlined in the full terms and conditions on our website) occurs, you will have the choice of either:

a) accepting the change; or

b) accepting a replacement tour from us of equivalent or similar standard and price (at the date of the change), if we are able to offer you one; or

c) cancelling your tour, in which case you shall receive a full refund of all monies paid.

Most of our trips are group holidays and require a certain number of participants to operate; we include details of normal group sizes in the Trip Notes and on our website. In the unlikely event that a trip does not reach the normal minimum, we may be forced to cancel the tour; a decision will be made as early as possible and not later than 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to confirm trips on numbers lower than

the minimum indicated and occasionally we may exceed the normal maximum. If at the time of booking your trip is not guaranteed, we strongly recommend that you do not make any non-refundable or non-changeable travel arrangements.

7. Your financial protection

ATBA protection
