ADVENTURE Since 1974
M
ore than 45 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. Come and see for yourself on an Exodus adventure.

Why see the world with
EXODUS?
ENRICHED BY EXPERTISE Every Exodus adventure is enhanced by our experience. We’ve travelled to more than 130 countries, to uncover their best-kept secrets and unmissable highlights. As you explore the world, you will do so with leaders who love to introduce you to their home countries, sharing stories and sights that allow you to experience it like a local. It’s these leaders — some who excel in fields such as mountaineering or archaeology — who show you the real heart of a destination, allowing you to have a truly incredible adventure.
IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCES Our trips offer a wide range of experiences, from well-known highlights to off-the-beaten-path locations. Choose from winter specific adventures, cultural trips, cycling and trekking holidays, wildlife encounters and unforgettable family experiences, each with an activity rating so you can choose how active your trip will be. While our itineraries are carefully crafted, we’re flexible in how you enjoy them. Travel with like-minded adventurers as part of a guided group or with family and friends on a personalised, private trip. You can also add extensions, flight upgrades and more.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE After almost 50-years of delivering world-class adventures, trips and tours, we know better than most how awe-inspiring, horizon-expanding, and life-enriching travel can be. And at Exodus Travels we firmly believe travel should improve life for the people and places we visit too. So, this ethos runs through every aspect of the way we create and run our trips, and in the community empowerment and conservation initiatives we support through the Exodus Travels Foundation. While this is something we have always believed in, we realise now more than ever, in a postCovid world, it is vital we ensure that travel is a force for good.

TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE Activities, transport, accommodation, and your tour guide are all arranged for you, so you can forget the logistics and simply focus on enjoying your holiday. Extensive trip notes for each adventure tell you all you need to know before you go, from any vaccination information to the expected weather.

We’re also proud to say that 97% of our travellers would recommend us to their friends. And with our 4 Tier Health and Safety Charter you can rest assured you’re in safe hands.

EXODUS TRAVELS FOUNDATION
SPOTLIGHT ON
EXODUS TRAVELS
FOUNDATION The world may have changed, but this doesn’t mean our support has stopped. As a travel company, we will continue to play our part to improve life in harder to reach places across the globe through the Exodus Travels Foundation. We’re working hard behind the scenes, actively seeking new ways to support while heeding the latest advice from our government and the World Health Organisation (WHO) to ensure our tour leaders, colleagues and people are safe. This has meant repurposing our funding for emergency relief to support vulnerable communities that need our help.
LAOS The Sanitation Project Exodus has been working closely with Baraka Community Partnerships in the northern province of Luang Prabang since in 2012 to help address the imbalance of basic necessities such as clean water, and sanitation.
TANZANIA The Kilimanjaro Porter Project Since 2015, we’ve been looking to improve life for women living in Kilimanjaro, by helping to educate and train female guides and porters on the mountain, but in the light of COVID-19, we redirected our funding towards people in immediate need, while tourism is scarce. Working with our partners, we’ve disseminated health advice and money management training to 9,000 porters while also delivering subsistence farming training to porters and their families. In addition to this, we’ve adapted our “Leave no Trace” and “Mountain Clean up” training to give porters new skills for the return of tourism. In the meantime, we are working hard to recruit our 10 Mountain Lioness Scholarship awardees, so they can begin their guide training when the college reopens.

Working remotely with our partners on the ground, we helped to fund the installation of sanitation blocks for every one of the 26 households in the Na San Village. Providing adequate sanitation through working toilet facilities is a human right, and more essential than ever during this unprecedented pandemic. This project helped to foster community spirit and encourage a sense of common endeavour towards a brighter future.

PERU The Inca Trail Porter Project With minimal tourism and temporary closure of businesses, Peruvian locals have struggled to put food on their tables during lockdown. During this time, Exodus have partnered with NGO Medlife, who provide emergency relief for vulnerable communities that are directly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. With their help, we’ve been able to distribute emergency food parcels to the households of 100 porters and other staff members who have continuously worked hard to guide our clients along the iconic Inca Trail. Keeping in close contact with the charity and impacted families, we hope to continue supporting them through this challenging time.
INDIA The Fruit Tree Project After the devastating impact of COVID-19 on tourism in the rural villages of Ladakh, it’s more important now than ever before to establish an alternative source of income for families and vulnerable communities. Partnering with the Sankalp Taru Foundation, the Exodus Travels Foundation helped to fund the planting of 4,000 trees to provide a sustainable source of income and improve environmental conservation. With restrictions being lifted, the community started working and as of May 2020, all 4,000 saplings are now planted across 7 different rural villages in Ladakh. When fully grown, there will be an estimated 60,000 kg worth of fruit produced per season, giving local farmers an increase in income for generations to come.

MAKE A DONATION TO THE COMMUNITY KICKSTART PROJECT As we look forward to the future, The Exodus Travels Foundation has set up the Community Kickstart Project to help our destination communities recover and rebuild after these challenging months following the impact of COVID-19.
LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR COMMUNITY PROJECTS AT:
Our Community Kickstart Project invites Exodus tour leaders, guides and team members on the ground to apply for grants of $250-$1,500 to invest in community-based projects or charitable initiatives which will create a positive economic, social or environmental impact in their local communities. We’re especially honoured to have our brochure cover illustrator, Martina Crepulja, contribute part of her fee to help those in need.

NEPAL The Himalayan Community Project Nepal has been hit extremely hard since the start of COVID-19, with a huge rise in the number of unemployed, homeless, and hungry in the country’s capital, Kathmandu. One of our Exodus team members, Karma, sought to help by handing out surplus goods from his bakery to those on the streets, and we have helped expand his inspiring efforts by distributing dry food parcels to the local community. With a lack of government schemes to support the Nepalese people during this crisis, our local tour leaders in Kathmandu, together with the Exodus Travels Foundation have helped to fund the distribution of 2,500 packed meals to people in need.

At the heart of Exodus’ unforgettable adventures lies our Expert Tour Leaders. With their unrivalled local knowledge and keen expertise, they have been leading the way across the globe since 1974, and are ready to welcome you back to their favourite destinations…
VA N I A D E PAO L I Exodus Leader of the Year Working for over two years as an Italian Tour Leader with Exodus, Vania De Paoli’s sheer enthusiasm, unrelenting positivity and wide local knowledge of the region leaves each traveller who books on her tours utterly enchanted. Whether she’s raising a cool glass of Peroni with her small group to toast their efforts trekking in the Dolomites, telling travellers about the fascinating history behind the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pompeii or teaching her clients how to make an authentic Neapolitan pizza with the local chefs in the Amalfi coast, you’ll soon find Vania loves to give travellers the perfect taste of “la dolce vita”. Born in the Veneto region in the quaint commune of Nervesa della Battaglia, Vania spent her childhood surrounded by rolling
vineyards and ancient abbeys nestled on top of Montello Hill. With hours in the sunshine every year harvesting vegetables in her grandfather’s vineyard, Vania’s love for the outdoors and passion to share the beauty that lies just outside her hometown encouraged her to become a tour leader. From guiding travellers around the pastel-hued villages along the Amalfi Coast to the limestone peaks of the Dolomites and award-winning vineyards in the Prosecco Hills, Vania shows her group what life is like for a local, delving into the rich cultures and traditions behind the scenes of each region with humour and flair. It’s this attitude and remarkable enthusiasm that has made her our winner for the Exodus Leader of the Year Award.
“ Vania was a caring, informative, funny and passionate leader. Her knowledge of the area was excellent, we always felt safe and relaxed on her walks.”

Discover one of Italy’s most spectacular mountain ranges, nestled in the Alta Pusteria Valley on this snowshoe adventure. Explore Fanes-Sennes Natural Park and snowshoe on the routes along the shoreline of Lago di Braies towards the foothills of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, arguably one of the most iconic images of the Dolomites. Next, discover how the First World War shaped the landscape and culture of the region while snowshoeing on old military tracks and end the adventure taking in the viewpoints of Durrakopf and Strudelkopf.
Perfect for all ability levels, enjoy pre-cut tracks and an extensive network of routes in Dobbiaco, situated in the beautiful Alta Pusteria region near the Austrian border. For beginners, it’s off to the lush valleys, while advanced skiers can take on the spectacular track that leads south to Cortina d’Ampezzo, skiing under the triple rock buttresses of the imposing Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Next, it’s onto the Sexten and Prags valleys that offer unbeatable views of the high Plaetzwiese Plateau.
Enjoy an enchanting stay in the village of Achenkirch, situated on the northernmost point of Lake Achensee. On this trip, take a trek in the Karwendal mountains along the Gerntal valley between the mountains of Seeburgspitze and Feilkopf. Afterwards, ride a cable car to a scenic wildlife trail overlooking Barenkopf. With exhilarating hikes to the summit of Gramaialm and beautiful descents down toboggan tracks near Achensee Lake, this trip showcases the best scenery in the Austrian Tyrol.
Cross-country Skiing Dobbiaco
An unforgettable adventure on the border of Poland and Slovakia, exploring the Tatras Mountains. Head out cross-country skiing across the frozen Stbske Pleso Lake, take the reins dogsledding through snow-covered meadows and unwind in Besenova’s thermal pools. With opportunities for snowboarding and downhill skiing in Tatranska Lomnica, you can also take a cable car to the second highest peak in Slovakia for unbeatable panoramas. Next, visit the beautiful Belianska Cave, that boasts waterfalls and pagoda-shaped stalagmites.

KEY BOOKING INFORMATION
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. Full terms and conditions can be found at: www.exodustravels.com/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.exodustravels.com/ activity-levels . 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 info@exodustravels.com 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 or consulate for the exact requirements for your chosen tour and date of travel. Many 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.
and other fees may also be applicable, including a $65 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.

No cancellation fee Deposit can be transferred to a new booking made within 12 months of the date the original booking was cancelled. Any remaining balance will be refunded.
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.
This excludes all nonrefundable costs (for example international and domestic flights and local services)
3. 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.

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). We recommend that you take out insurance as soon as your booking is confirmed.
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 10% 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)
Balance and deposit can be transferred to a new booking made within 12 months of the date the original booking was cancelled. This excludes all nonrefundable costs (for example international and domestic flights and local services)

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.
