Tour Reviews

Camping at Everest Base Camp was outstanding and the Sakya Monastery experience was remarkable. In fact, nothing (about the trip) was disappointing. It really was exceptional.

A huge thank you to all of the WildChina staff for their outstanding care, provision and planning, to make the Year 9 trip such an enormous success. It was a truly remarkable trip and one that we will all never forget. A survey went out yesterday and out of 122 students the trip received an overall rating of 4.74 out of 5!! A true testament to the magnificent work done by all of your team to make this unique but quite extraordinary vision a reality!
