Requires a spirit of adventure and some degree of fitness, as the trip might consist of many activities or long journeys. These adventures involve walking, trekking, hiking, cycling, rafting, sea kayaking, or driving for long hours, at times for up to six to eight hours a day at a steady pace. The maximum altitude is 3000m, so it requires you to be reasonably physically fit because you may be travelling in extreme weather conditions. The trips are usually 6 to 12 days in duration.
Every itinerary is unique, flexible and can be tailored to meet your preferences. Our travel experts' first hand knowledge of serviced destinations enables them to hand-craft dream holidays with you. We plan your holiday, your way!
