Activities and Logistics
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safekeeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash, and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.
Activities and Logistics
Be aware that petty theft can be an issue in some Vietnamese towns and cities especially late at night. A common tactic is opportunists on motorbikes that drive by and snatch bags. Please always leave valuables and passports etc in your hotel, in safety boxes if available, and only carry with you enough cash to spend for the day. Bags should always be carried over the neck and not left to sit on your shoulder. We do not recommend passengers to jump or dive into Kuang Sii Waterfalls in Luang Prabang, as this may result in injury.
Activities and Logistics
Pack as lightly as possible, keep luggage weight under 10-15kg/22-30lb, and use a backpack or rolling bag of small to medium size. You will need a day pack/bag for carrying water, cameras, and other essentials like phone, as well as any sleeping bags or additional items if staying in homestays, villages, or camping.
Activities and Logistics
In Asia, the dress standard is more conservative than it is back home. When packing, try to pick loose, lightweight, long clothing that will keep you cool in the usually hot and humid climate of Asian summers. In predominantly Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim countries, we ask that you dress respectfully and avoid very short shorts/skirts and singlets/tank tops when visiting temples or mosques or other holy sites. In Pakistan, we recommend a headscarf for women while walking around.
Activities and Logistics
A list of items to pack includes conservative clothing, essential documents like passport and vouchers, binoculars, camera, cash and cards, day pack, ear plugs, first-aid kit, flashlight/torch, fleece top, footwear, hat, locks for bags, long pants, money belt, outlet adapter, personal entertainment, reusable water bottle, shirts, sleepwear, travel towel, sunglasses, toiletries, watch and alarm clock, waterproof backpack cover, and windproof rain jacket. Health and safety items include hand sanitizer, face masks, pen, and a quick Covid test or antigen test.

Group Leader Description
Eating is a big part of traveling. G Adventures understands the importance of breakfast to start your day, we strive to include a basic breakfast wherever possible. A typical breakfast may include toast, coffee and tea, however, they may also be Asian style, consisting of noodles, congee (rice porridge), bread or eggs; this may vary depending on the city we're visiting. Vegetarians will be able to find a range of different foods, although in some areas the choice may be limited. Should breakfast not be included, your CEO can suggest some local options. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favorite restaurants during your trip. While trekking in remote regions, food is included, plentiful and made of fresh local ingredients. For all trips, please refer to the meals included and budget information.
