As discussed with one of our 'trip designers', a good trip is one where you have fun and you are happy to come home to discuss it with your loved ones ... So, that the very good trip is the one that makes you want to do more and not to leave! ... It goes without saying that my 2 weeks with Nomad's Land was a very good trip. Good mix between cultural experience, skiing in various conditions .. I have felt like an Indiana Jones on several occasions! I believe that their success definitely depends on their good expertise in the field, and without a doubt on the personal dedication of their staff. thanks to the whole team
