ADVENTURE Since 1974

M

ore than 40 years ago, we took a group of adventurers to Kathmandu in 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.

SPOTLIGHT ON

Rewilding THE APENNINES

As a travel business that has always strived to see our natural world thrive, we’re taking a stand and setting a goal to become Nature Net Positive by 2024 with our Nature First commitment.

We’re proud to be the first Tour Operator to set a goal of this kind, and it starts with rewilding the Apennines.

T

he wild Italian landscapes in the Apennines are particularly close to our hearts as Italy remains one of our most popular destinations for active and outdoor holidays. So, from January 2021, we partnered with leading biodiversity experts, Rewilding Europe, to help us work towards our Nature Net Positive goal and their aim of making Europe a wilder. We are pleased to have now launched our first project together – the Nature and Carbon Corridors Project in the Italian Apennines.

We aim to help rewild 5,000 hectares of the Italian Apennines over five years in order to promote the recovery of regional biodiversity. The very process of “rewilding” helps to restore our nature’s ecosystems and biodiversity, so as wildlife can return and thrive, while also combatting climate change by increasing the land’s ability to absorb carbon. Over the course of five years, the project will help to capture an estimated 85,000 tonnes of carbon, while also enabling an increase in the endangered Marsican bear population, as well as the recovery of the Apennine wolf, wild cat and many other animal populations.

While this innovative project helps to tackle climate change and the increase of species in the region, it also shows the local communities that peaceful coexistence with wildlife is possible. Working with Rewilding Europe, we’re helping to develop a community carbon scheme that supports smallholders and landowners in rewilding their land, while mitigating any loss of

agricultural income, so that it is mutually beneficial for both nature and the local community.

Pettorano Sul Gizio, a small town in the heart of the Apennines, is Italy’s first “Bear Smart Community”, a place where people are united in putting wildlife at the heart of the community. Bruno D’Amicis, Vice President of Rewilding the Apennines explains, “If you’re going to rewild the world, we need to have everyone on board. Working with the community, involving everyone from school children to elderly people is the only way to make sure that the values are meaningful and effective.” He continues, “In this area, “hope” means having a healthy wildlife population,

with bears covering their ancient ranges once more, while also having a stimulating human environment to raise your family, and this is only possible if we work together with nature.”

Through this partnership, we are rewilding 100 square metres of land for each passenger who books on any adventure with us. If you’re interested to see the beneficial impact of the rewilding process and how the local teams are building wildlife corridors first-hand, we’ve launched a new trip, Rewilding the Apennines (for more details see page 13). Looking ahead to 2022, we’re planning to expand our partnership with Rewilding Europe and continue to show our support for restoration projects across Europe, by putting Nature First.

“

Our sustainability activity has a major focus on climate action, and primarily reducing the carbon footprint of our trips. However, we wanted to go beyond only reducing our negative impact, and actively support the restoration of the nature and ecosystems which our travellers love to explore and are crucial for the longterm survival of our planet. Key for us is this project’s holistic incorporation of biodiversity recovery, carbon removal, and local community engagement.

The planet we love to explore is facing unprecedented challenges, that not only include the ongoing climate crisis but biodiversity collapse. The unique ecosystems we discover on our adventures are vital for the survival of our global society but are left increasingly under threat.

We want to take a stand by making a Nature Net Positive commitment to our planet. Take a look below to see how we’re putting Nature First by seeking to remove and reduce negative impacts and outweigh them with our efforts to restore nature through our trips, our partnerships and our giving.

fter a year or so spent exploring our local forests and parks, it comes as no surprise that most of us are eager to discover new destinations as the world continues to reopen.

We’ve been working behind the scenes to create new, interest-packed itineraries, from discovering hidden gorges and abandoned quarries along the Snowdonia Slate Trail in Wales to spotting Black bears in Banff National Park on a trekking adventure in the Canadian Rockies.

APENNINES, ITALY Best for eco-tourism

WALES, UK Best for hidden waterfalls and historic quarries Embark on an exhilarating circular route of the Snowdonia Slate Trail.

Next, you’ll explore the Penmachno Forest before heading to the remote Rhosydd Quarry and the old slate workings of Nantlle.

After wandering through the picturesque village of Beddgelert, you’ll end the journey with a fascinating visit to the National Slate Museum in Dinorwic Quarry, where you’ll delve into the history of key quarries that are deeply rooted in Welsh culture.

Walking the Snowdonia Slate Trail

Venture into Italy’s wild heart to experience rewilding first-hand in the Central Apennines.

Following highly skilled nature guides, you’ll take an exclusive visit to the bear corridors, to see how local communities are rewilding areas and making connections to the surrounding national parks, so wildlife can flourish and move freely.

With 3 full days hiking and wildlife tracking in the mountains, you may come across deer, chamois, wolves, golden eagles and if you’re lucky, spot the rare Marsican brown bear in its natural habitat. You’ll also enjoy a night of stargazing while dining on local wine and cheese in a remote mountain retreat.

THE WORLD With their unrivalled local knowledge and keen expertise, our tour leaders make every moment of your adventure count. So, we’d liked to shine a spotlight on our local heroes, to find out what moments they enjoy most when trekking around the world.

Nepal Spiritual treks with Bikash Guiding enthusiastic trekkers past ancient monasteries and Sherpa country to the Everest Base Camp is all in a week’s work for Bikash. He comments, “On the Everest Base Camp trek, one of my highlights is going to the Everest View Hotel, which we visit on day five. It gives us the chance to take a well-deserved rest, where the group can enjoy some Nepali tea and soak in the incredible 360-degree views of Mount Everest and Ama Dablam.” Built by the Japanese, the Everest View Hotel opened its doors in 1971 and made it onto the Guinness World Book of Records in 2004 for being the Highest Placed Hotel in the world, at 13,000 ft.

Everest Base Camp Trek

EXODUS.CO.UK/TRIP/TNT

“

On our Everest Base Camp Trek, you have the opportunity to go even higher to the summit of Kala Patthar (5,545m). This climb offers incredible views of the Khumbu Glacier and is best experienced at sunset, when if you’re lucky, you’ll catch moments of the sunlight dappled on the peaks of Everest.

Wales Discover the Gower Peninsula with Cari With extensive local knowledge of the region, our Welsh-speaking tour leader, Cari, is the perfect guide to have with you while exploring the Gower Peninsula on foot. Following welldefined paths, your route takes you past quiet beaches, heather-clad moors and nature reserves towards the Mumbles lighthouse. One of Cari’s favourite parts of the adventure is taking travellers to the Gower Gin distillery for a tasting experience. “It’s a great chance for the group to unwind, swap travel stories and appreciate the small batch craft gins created from green and bronze fennel foraged from the local beaches.”

Spain Walk through limestone amphitheatres with José Working as an Exodus Tour Leader for over twenty years, José’s bread and butter is guiding travellers through the hidden corners of the Sierra de Aitana in Costa Blanca. Although the region is popular for trekkers around almond blossom season, José’s favourite trekking moments, “are at the end of May/early June, when the summit of Aitana is transformed into a magical landscape by thousands of yellow and purple flowers in bloom”. When he’s not scrambling up Bernia Ridge, José is preparing his famous sandwiches using local produce. Packed with a delicious combination of salami, semi-cured Manchego cheese and tomato, they’re a welcome snack for travellers after hours of trekking in the Sierra de Aitana.

Sierra de Aitana Trek

EXODUS.CO.UK/TRIP/TSA

“

Many may not know, but the Sierra de Aitana region is a paradise for bird watchers. With over 40 different species, keep a lookout for hawks, peregrine falcons, red-legged partridges and Iberian magpies among the fruit trees and kermes oaks in the forest-filled valleys.

Italy Explore ancient terraced vineyards with Vania Born and raised in the picturesque Veneto region, our Italian leader, Vania, knows the Prosecco Hills like the back of her hand. Guiding travellers past charming medieval villages towards tranquil woodlands and rolling vineyards for wine tastings, Vania’s favourite moment of the trip is summiting Mount Cesen, in the Venetian Prealps. “The view from the top is fabulous. On one side you can see the towering peaks of the Dolomites, and on the other, the Venice Lagoon.” When asked why she loves this region, she said, “When you’re surrounded by vineyards, you can really appreciate the fine balance between nature and Man’s work – it’s an enchanting place to explore on foot.”

Walking the Prosecco Hills

EXODUS.CO.UK/TRIP/TDH

“

While you’re trekking up the hills of Valdobbiadene, visit the Osteria senz’Oste tavern for local meats and cheese boards, where the host is always famously absent. If you wander further, you’ll find a Prosecco vending machine, where the bottles are made for toasting with friends at sunset.

”

Peru Wander across cloud forests with Bruce For years, trekking enthusiasts have joined our tour leader, Bruce, in Cusco to follow in the footsteps of ancient Incas on an unforgettable journey along the classic Inca Trail. Following the Urubamba River, you’ll pass remote Inca ruins towards the lost city of Machu Picchu. But one of Bruce’s favourite moments is, “when the route veers through the highlands towards the cloud forests, which make the landscape incredibly diverse, colourful and interesting”. He continues, “One day you camp overnight surrounded by low hanging clouds and snow-capped mountain peaks, the next, you’re in the middle of a rainforest.

The panoramic view travellers enjoy at the Phuyupatamarca campsite are particularly spectacular.”

YOUR GUIDE TO SOLO TRAVEL

YOUR GUIDE TO

SOLO

TRAVEL

Over half of our customers choose to travel solo – and why not. A big part of the Exodus Travels’ experience is meeting and exploring with like-minded travellers. Take a look below to discover the reasons why it’s one of our most popular ways to travel.

Your group You may be a solo traveller, but trust us, you’re not alone. With guests joining us from the UK, Europe, and North America, you’ll be part of a group who all have a passion for walking and trekking which only enhances your adventure. Often, our travellers make lifelong friends on our trips, returning to us to arrange more trips together.

Everything’s taken care of On our guided group trips you are free to relax and enjoy the experience as everything has been taken care of. All your walking routes have been meticulously planned to showcase your destination’s highlights and local gems, and your luggage is transported each day. You can also spend as much or as little time with other travellers as you want.

Experienced local leaders Going guided means you’ll benefit from your leader’s insider knowledge of the region, exploring hidden spots off the tourist trail that only a local would know how to find. Your guide also takes control of the trip logistics and acts as a host to ensure there’s always a relaxed, sociable group dynamic.

Meal times and evenings

Your room To avoid the need for costly single supplements, we’ll match you in a comfortable twin room if you’re happy to share. Or if you’d prefer to stay in a single room for the duration of your trip, we can arrange this for you at a very reasonable cost.

You’ll always enjoy an inclusive atmosphere with our guided group adventures, from taking part in daily activities to group dining experiences. Our expert guides take you to the best local restaurants where you can share stories with like-minded travellers and have great suggestions for places you can explore solo on free evenings.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING GRADES With cross-country, it’s about experience - time on the skis - that counts. Obviously, a decent level of fitness is important too.

Some trips combine multiple grades, with different departures for the various grades.

Our cross-country skating levels have two options: Beginners: recommended for those who’ve tried classic cross-country skiing, and are ready to try this faster style, covering 10 -15 km a day Intermediate: recommended for those who’ve already mastered the basics of the skating style and are looking at covering over 15km a day.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION

DETAILS CORRECT AT TIME OF PUBLICATION: PLEASE CHECK FULL BOOKING CONDITIONS ONLINE AT WWW.EXODUS.CO.UK

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.

Deposit You will be asked to pay a deposit at the time of booking of at least 15% 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 70 days before departure. In certain cases, including Polar holidays, we may request full payment more than 70 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.

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.

This excludes all nonrefundable costs (for example international and domestic flights and local services) Between 41 and 21 days (inclusive)

Travel insurance It is an essential condition of joining an Exodus trip that you have an adequate and valid travel insurance policy for the full duration of your trip to cover the cost of medical treatment, cancellation and curtailment, and the activities included in the holiday (including the maximum altitude reached).
