Everyone spends differently so it’s hard for us to give an exact amount but we usually recommend around $250 - $400 per week is sufficient for you to have an epic time. All your activities, transport and accommodation is covered by The Supplier so you just need to worry about what your food, drink and shopping which is usually pretty cheap in Asia.

Your group leader will get in touch with you a week before your trip to confirm your meeting time/flight details and to introduce themselves.
What if I have an allergy?
If you have an allergy you must let us know as we will make your group leader aware. We also recommend printing out allergy cards in the local language. These cards can be easily found on google and are great to carry as they can be shown to the restaurants we eat at to explain your allergy in depth and make sure nothing gets lost in translation.
What kind of accommodation do we stay in?
Accommodation is mainly twin share accommodation in some awesome hotels. You will always be sharing a room with someone of the same sex from your group. You will sometimes stay in dorm accommodation which will be exclusive to the tour group.

What do we do in the evenings?
We head out every evening as a group for dinner and often drinks. We take you to some of the coolest spots around as well as some hidden gems we’ve discovered over the years. This is not part of the itinerary so you do not have to participate but we try to maximise your adventure.

How should I bring my money?
There are ATMs readily available in all of our destinations so we would recommend getting a travel card with good rates and withdrawing cash locally rather than carrying big amounts with you.
