I am thinking of taking a short-ish trip to southeast asia (perhaps nepal or burma) with some friends. I have traveled extensively, but never with a tour company. I have always been hesitant to travel with an organized tour, as they have generally seemed to be so focused on the big sights, and so uninterested in cultural immersion. On the other hand, my friends and I have only limited experience in southeast asia, and we thought this might be a nice introduction to some of the areas off the beaten track. Does anyone have any good tour groups to recommend?
In particular, we would like to company that is focused on young people (we are all in our early to mid 20s), and also adventuresome, small-ish, no luxury required...and no hyper-scheduled so we can also go off a bit alone sometimes.
Thanks for your help! Any recommendations are much appreciated. Also, any ideas on spots to visit off the beaten track (we are already familiar with the major tourist points in India and china)?
