Choose the program and the location that feels right for you and know that your efforts are greatly appreciated by the people you are helping. It is an enriching and eye-opening experience that creates a deeper consciousness of the world we live in.

Adventure Trips & Self-Guided Adventures

Meaningful travel experiences in every continent of the world

Worldwide Voluntours www.bambaexperience.com

TRIP STYLE:

adventure trips

Alternatively from our Hop-on Hop-off Passes, travellers looking for a more structured itinerary, with accommodation included, and a fixed trip length, can choose from our many Adventure Trips all around the world. Adventure Trips are organised trips with set itineraries which can be combined with any other Bamba trip or booked independently. TRIP TYPES To help you choose the Adventure Trip that is right for you, look for the following logos representing our trip types throughout the brochure: These small group adventures include great local guides, all of your transport, accommodation, and some meals. They give you the chance to move around more easily, step off the beaten path, and immerse yourself in the local culture. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll usually share your trip with no more than 12 like-minded travellers, though it is often less. If you are looking for private arrangements for you and your travel buddy(ies), our private adventures are perfect for you! We offer a wide range of itineraries that come with a private driver/guide most of the time. Our list of adventures in the brochure is just a reference. We can easily help you create and personalise your own private adventure! Bus tours offer a cheap way to visit touristic sites. You will usually be travelling with a large group by bus, on a fixed schedule. Most of these tours include bus transportation, accommodation and entrance fees. Extras must be paid locally. These are independent tours accompanied by a tour coordinator who will organise the tour but not guide you.

TRIP STYLE:

Self-Guided Adventures

Group tours with rigid departure dates and itineraries just might not be the right fit for your travel style. Travel independently on a fixed itinerary with pre-booked public transportation, included activities with local guides and the accommodation of your choice. Mix and match a series of short adventures and we will book the transportation in between for you. Your Choice of Accommodation: Choose to stay overnight in hostels, 3-star, or 4-star hotels ahead of time. Local Guides on Included Activities Only: There’s no tour leader to follow around on these adventures, only local guides for each included activity. You will travel on your own for the public bus portions and for the rest of the time you are travelling which allows you the freedom to do what you want and go where you please in your free time! Travel Solo or in a Group: Our self-guided adventures don’t require a minimum number of travellers for departure so if you want to go solo, all you have to do is make your booking and you’re off on an exciting independent adventure! Otherwise grab a friend or group of travel buddies and we will arrange everything for you. Travel at Your Own Pace: Explore at your own pace and take advantage of an independent self-guided adventure to experience an authentic new way of travel. Most trips have daily departures!

Trekking in Nepal is simply stunning! Nepal is home to eight of the top ten highest summits in the world and quite possibly the planet’s most breathtaking landscapes, one of Southeast Asia’s most unique experiences. What to expect? You won’t be wandering alone through uncharted wilderness, but you will encounter tons of tiny mountain villages filled with friendly smiling locals and their shy children as they go about their daily tasks of farming, collecting water and other necessities. The paths are well-marked and there are welcoming teahouses along the way where you can recharge with a hot tea and soup. You will also come across plenty of other trekkers and new friends to make as you go deeper into the striking Himalayan landscapes. When to go trekking? The best seasons for trekking are the months of March-June and September-November, when skies are clear and temperatures are warm. Rainy season begins around May-June and the summer monsoon is fully underway by July and August. During winter months of December-February some trails and high passes may be closed due to heavy snow and severe weather.
