Went on a DofE Gold Expedition to Nepal and had a really fun (and challenging) time there. The hotel they had for the first night and last night (for when we arrived/left) was really nice and in a good state. It was an educational and eye-opening experience to see a polar opposite life style to your own; Nepal is known to be a very poor country. Our night camping locations were fairly well organised with no major problems that I can remember. The main issue we had on our expedition was that the team there did not quite understand the goals of DofE and the extent we had to be self-sufficient. The maps we had (the largest scaled ones) were not detailed enough and it made it impossible at times to find the correct route as there were so many small roads that did not exist on the map, leading us to be lost quite a few times and having had been rescued by Bischnoo - a really really great guy who seemed to know every trail -- even if non-existent on maps -- and every single bush in the area. Although quite expensive for what the trip was since we were camping for 5/7 days, I've made some great memories and had an opportunity I never would have had any other time.
