Unforgettable trips to get your adrenaline flowing, thighs sighing and hearts soaring

NAMIBIA

Tickle your taste buds off the beaten track

ACTIVE ADVENTURES

Soak up southern Africa’s wines, wildlife and wilderness on ATI Holidays’ Namibia: Walking and Wine Tasting trip. The journey begins in Windhoek and meanders south-west to the Naukluft Mountains, where the clop of mountain zebras and klipspringer antelopes echo on hikes or horseback through spectacular gorges. In between the red dunes and salt pans of Sossusvlei, the former German colony of Swakopmund and the rugged terrain of northern Damaraland – an area with strictly limited tourism and desert-adapted elephant and black rhino – you’ll discover age-old vineyards sustained by natural springs. Here you can enjoy a tipple among the vines and hear experts share the secrets of how they operate in some of the world’s harshest wine-making conditions.

you might not believe your eyes.

But its ochre, sea green and scarlet stripes are real. It’s the result of naturally forming minerals, and on World Expeditions’ Ausangate and Rainbow Mountain Trek, you’ll get a front-row seat. You’ll have to work for it, though. Trekking at high altitude across the Andes, and wild camping along the way, makes this a challenging trip, yet worth it for those out-of-this-world views. You’ll start and end in Cuzco, but soon leave the crowds far behind.

NORTHERN PERU

Go off the Andean trail £50 Peru’s less touristed north OFF has long appealed to travellers in the know, thanks to its super-sized Andean topography and thrilling cultural heritage.

Tucan Travel’s new tailor-made Northern Peru itinerary is a journey through some of the region’s most notable attractions, including the remote hiking-base town of Chachapoyas, the UNESCO-listed remains of Kuélap, carved clifftop tombs and the 771m Gocta Waterfall, after which there’s a day to sample the local walking trails. There are also nights to enjoy energetic Lima at the start and end of the trip.

couldn’t be more different. This is a world of whisper-quiet country lanes threading through lush valley plains, and Headwater’s Heart of Veneto Cycling tour takes you deep into its rural centre, pedalling past pretty villages, cherry orchards, ancient villas and vineyards (with GPS provided).

Base yourself in an agriturismo (farm stay) and follow daily cycling routes to the likes of Bastia’s market, the lakeside trattorie of Fimon and the vineyards of Tai Rosso grapes in the Berici Hills.

Trips even branch out as far as Vicenza, a city whose elegant porticoes and balustrades echo the crumbling majesty of Venice, while a free day lets you catch the train to Padua, Verona, or even the busy regional capital itself.

Some of the richest biodiversity on Earth, with mangroves, coastline and primary rainforest absolutely bursting with wildlife. You’ll need a great guide, and KE Adventures has local knowledge in spades.

RÉUNION

Head for a hidden island Nestled between Madagascar and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, Réunion is often overlooked, but it is an island of singular secrets.

Exploring everything from villages set in collapsed craters to the lava tunnels of a dormant volcano, Off the Map Travel’s Like Nowhere on Earth trip nails its description pretty darn well. Little compares to heli-hiking into one of the deepest gorges on the island or spending the night in a see-through bubble in the forests of Réunion National Park. But it’s amid the old creole mansions of Hell-Bourg and Salazie, hamlets carved among winding roads that just about cling to the slopes, where you feel you’ve discovered a place that’s utterly unique.

RUSSIA

NEPAL

A mindfulness-themed trip might not sound like your typical Wanderlust adventure, but if you need some headspace, the home of the Buddha is probably the place to find it. Wellness Nepal, a new trip

by G Adventures, features a twonight stay in a Buddhist monastery, meditation sessions with practising monks, and plenty of yoga classes.

You’ll also explore Kathmandu, visit Buddha’s birthplace in Lumbini, and take a 4WD safari in search of rhinos, deer and crocodiles in Chitwan National Park.

range are as princely a setting as you’ll find in Central Europe. They serve as the suitably memorable location for Ramblers Walking Holidays’ new Alpine Activity Adventure, a wellness-focused week that includes everything from barefoot walking, sound-trail installations and medicinal herb paths to e-biking, pilates and yoga.

If you’re in search of a short-haul experience as stimulating as it is scenic – not to mention an itinerary that also takes in Lake Constance and Mainau Island – it’s an attractive prospect.

CULTURE SEEKERS

BODY & SOUL

Find your inner calm

Russia’s delta-bound city of St Petersburg is a world away from the Soviet bludgeon of Moscow. After all, this was once the imperial capital and it still wears its grandeur like it has a point to prove. Andante Travels’ St Petersburg: Palaces & Art tour unravels the city’s fascinating past and present through its architecture and culture, with trips to royal residences and historic islands, as well as a matryoshka doll-making workshop. From the ‘Russian Versailles’ of Peterhof Palace to a piano recital and champagne reception at the Brodsky Museum, history and art collide as you explore a city more than glad to put on its pearls once in a while.

CHINA

Beat the crowds to classic China A recent report suggested that China would be the most-visited destination on Earth by 2030, so get there before the masses descend. Plot a classic route with Cosmos’ Flavours of China and the Yangtze trip, starting in Beijing – all imperial history, winding hutongs (alleys) and Great Wall hiking – before visiting the Terracotta Army at Xi’an and the giant pandas of Chengdu. From there, a bullet train ride puts the enormity of this sprawling nation on show as you hurtle towards Chongqing, gateway for cruises into the Three Gorges Dam, and then on to Shanghai – the posterchild for modern China. As you slip between glassy skyscrapers,

Highlights & homestays £50 It’s hard to know where to OFF start in Vietnam. North or south? Cuisine or culture? Frenetic cities or laid-back countryside? But on Vietnam Adventure, a new tour from Exodus Travel, you can leave the logistics to the experts and concentrate on packing maximum adventure into two short weeks.

All the big hits are included: you’ll cruise around Halong Bay, explore the imperial cities and visit the haunting Cu Chi Tunnels (a remnant of the Vietnam War).

But there are lesser-known experiences, too, such as a homestay in the Mekong Delta, a traditional sampan boat trip and a cycling journey through the countryside to savour.

PERU

Explore the ancient Andes Peru has some seriously iconic sites – think Cuzco, Lake Titicaca and, of course, Machu Picchu. But there’s also a rich trove of lesservisited and equally spectacular wonders for those keen to explore a bit deeper. New infrastructure developments have made the north of the country far more accessible, and Peru Revealed’s Ancient Cultures of Northern Peru starts in the capital Lima before touring the northern triangle of Trujillo, Chiclayo and Chachapoyas.

Expect temples, fishing coves, royal tombs, ancient pyramids, cloud-forest wildlife, the muchvaunted new cable-car ride to the

sixth-century Kuélap ruins and the chance to trek or horse-ride to the beautiful Gocta Waterfall.

So, if you want to see the sun’s blazing corona create a remarkable ‘hole’ in the midnight-black sky, you’ll need to book now. The rare celestial event promises to be an emotive experience, and in Pilolil, Argentina, you’ll be in the best spot to see it.

But it’s not the only highlight of this one-off itinerary: you’ll explore Iguazú Falls, tour Buenos Aires, visit Los Glaciares National Park, catch a tango show and much more. Better yet, there are no enforced single supplements, so solo travellers can twin-share at no additional cost.

GEORGIA

Join Wanderlust on a unique trip Lying on a key stop on the Silk Road, Georgia has always seemed like a cultural outlier: one foot in Europe, the other in Asia.

It’s a fascinating blend of the two, and one that Wanderlust Journeys’ Discover Georgia with Lyn Hughes trip sets out to unravel, all in the company of Wanderlust’s co-founder and editor-in-chief – yes, that’s two travel icons for one. Join Lyn in winding from hip capital Tbilisi – a curious blend of sixth-century architecture and café culture – to the rock-hewn monasteries of Davit Gareja, and along the way sip orange wine in the vineyards of the Kakheti region, explore the remarkable cave town of Vardzia and wander the little-visited mountainous area of Tusheti.

CHILE

Watch the wonders of the cosmos with an expert £50 Wendy Wu’s Chile Eclipse OFF trip gives you premium seats as July’s total eclipse rips across the skies above the Pacific Ocean and southern Latin America. From the lively port of Valparaíso, where the poet Pablo Neruda once found inspiration and colourful houses trickle down the hills to the shoreline, you make for the seaside city of La Serena and out into the Elqui Valley. Here you’ll find vineyards and pisco makers, as well as the best views of the eclipse (2 July).

You’ll also be joined by author and astronomer Dr Stuart Clark (along with a few bottles of local wine) to help unravel the mysteries of the day. Side trips to the colonial cobbles of Santiago’s old centre and the region’s surrounding vineyards only add to this trip’s star power.

from colonial Havana and the Viñales countryside to the wetlands of Ciénaga de Zapata and Che Guevara’s resting place in Santa Clara. For those keen to scratch beneath the surface and understand how this Caribbean country is transforming, it’s the ideal itinerary.

Antonia Bolingbroke-Kent (p34), one of the directors of Silk Road Adventures, worked closely with the crew to design the television series itinerary and thus makes the perfect leader for A Silk Road Adventure: Iran. You’ll visit all of Lumley’s favourite destinations, from the emptiness of the Dasht-e Lut desert to the Abbasid architecture of Isfahan and the food, historic sites and poetry of Shiraz, in a group of no more than ten travellers.

There’s the perfect epic adventure for you out there – whether by foot, wheel, rail or sail

CROATIA

See the isles by land & sea In among Croatia’s wealth of islands (there are over 1,000), the small Elaphiti archipelago harbours some of the most spellbinding and untouched sights in the Adriatic.

Artisan Travel’s Elaphiti Islands Active Adventure soaks up many of them on a trip via land and sea.

Begin aboard a private ten-berth catamaran as it travels north from Dubrovnik towards the Pelješac Peninsula, before stopping off at the lesser-visited islands of Ston, Broce and Sipan. Breeze past pine-scented landscapes, citrus gardens and sandy coves, then drop anchor to explore ancient ruins and Benedictine monasteries, meander crowd-free hiking trails and swim, kayak and snorkel in sparkling waters. Afterwards, shake off your sea legs in the picturesque

fishing village of Šipanska Luka, surrounded by olive groves and ancient relics from when Croatia was a maritime republic.

CHILE

Drive the next great road trip Chile’s new Route of Parks is one of the conservation feats of our time: a 2,800km trail connecting 17 national parks, many newly created. It was the brainchild of the late Douglas Tompkins (founder of outdoor clothing firm North Face), who together with his wife, Kristine, donated vast tracts of private land. With it finally opening in late 2018, Pura Aventura’s Route of the Parks Uncovered helps cut a year’s adventure into a manageable chunk by self-driving the world’s wildest new road trip. Visitors will wind down from the crystalline waters of

the Chilean Lake District, through the peaks of the Cerro Castillo and down to the little-seen Northern and Southern Patagonian Ice Fields.

While Iceland’s glacial icons are seeing more visitors than ever thanks to the transatlantic stopover set, that doesn’t apply to Greenland. Apart from passengers on Arctic cruises, few make it this far north, thus Collette’s A NordicInspired Voyage is a rather special opportunity to glimpse two very different frozen worlds in one go.

After the hot springs, geysers and ancient sites of Reykjavík, you’ll board the MV Ocean Atlantic to explore Greenland’s north-east coast, where Inuit traditions and ceremonies echo among the fjords. Here, the frosty waters of Kangerlussuaq precede the colourful wooden sprawl of Sisimiut, where trips out among the monster ’bergs of Disko Bay and the Ilulissat Icefjord (from which 10% of all Greenland’s icebergs emerge) make you realise just how small you are, and how big the world really is.

50 BEST NEW TRIPS FOR 2019 Overland’s Exploratory Ultimate Asia Overland adventure is an essay in opening eyes and minds as you drive from the UK to Nepal.

It’s also a one-off opportunity with limited numbers, so it pays to get in early for this 2020 trip. The whole thing takes about 181 days as you trickle through little-seen parts of Russia and the Ukraine (with a potential side trip to Chernobyl), the mud volcanoes of Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan’s fiery Darvaza gas crater (dubbed the ‘gates of hell’) and into Central Asia. As onion-domed cathedrals blur into 15th-century mosques, the landscape morphs into a mountainous range of vast glassy lakes and hilltop monasteries; and just as the prayer flags begin flickering in the Himalayan wind, an about-turn sees you finish in Turkey via Pakistan and Iran. Of course, you can break up the trip into bite-size sections (such as the 11-day London to St Petersburg opening stretch), but wouldn’t you prefer a life on the road?

If you’ve been to South Africa, chances are you’ve been wowed by the Western Cape’s whalewatching and wine tasting. But the country has so much more up its sleeve. Designed for second-time visitors, Imagine Africa’s Off The Beaten Track South Africa reveals its little-visited Northern Cape on a self-drive itinerary that stretches up to the Namibia and Botswana borders. The driving is sensational (think wild coastal panoramas and dramatic desert swathes) and you stretch your legs in spectacular fashion, with walking safaris in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, hiking and wine-tasting in Orange River,

On Great Rail Journeys’ Castles and Wildlife of Scotland tour, your adventure begins with an overnight trip aboard the Caledonian Sleeper train, whisking you from London to Inverness in comfortable club cabins.

Over the next seven days, you’ll explore by road and rail, staying in luxurious heritage hotels. It’s a wild, wonderful week, with dolphin spotting in the Moray Firth, a 4WD red deer ‘safari’, and the chance to see red squirrels and wild cats in the Highlands’ Alladale Wilderness Reserve. Another treat for railway enthusiasts is a journey along the Kyle Line, which chugs at a leisurely pace between alluring lochs and crumbling castles.

You’ll soon understand why it’s considered one of Scotland’s most scenic rail routes.

Tour remote Arctic islands Opportunities to set foot on the still-active volcanic island of Jan Mayen don’t come along that often, so chances are that places on Aurora Expeditions’ 2020 Iceland, Jan Mayen and Svalbard trip will be snapped up quickly.

From Reykjavík, the ship cups the north-west Icelandic coastline, carving through the beauty of the Westfjords and ticking off Europe’s largest seabird breeding cliffs, Látrabjarg, where you can spot puffins, razorbills and guillemots. It then makes for the Denmark Strait and rarely visited Jan Mayen Island, with its towering Beerenberg volcano.

The voyage finishes in the tundra of Svalbard, where you can glimpse glaciers, polar bears, Arctic foxes and walruses.

The Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan is one such destination, passed down from Ottoman to British to Soviet hands until it broke free of its Communist yoke in the 1990s. Regent Holidays’ Pioneering Nakhchivan trip turns its gaze on this mountainous region with a powerful history, visiting the reputed site of ‘Noah’s tomb’, sanitariums built into old salt mines and medieval monuments. Head out to Batabat to reveal alpine meadows, floating islands and the pilgrim caves of Kahf where the

‘seven sleepers’ of the Qur’an were said to have hidden. But the real lure here is simply setting foot where few other travellers tread.

The trip also takes in the Crocodile Festival, a creature that has special significance in these parts where scarring young men’s flesh to make it look like crocodile skin is still a rite of passage in some villages.

A night safari and a hike to a local salt lick in the Nam Et-Phou Louey National Protected Area bring the chance of sighting clouded leopards, golden cats and even tigers, while a visit to a local youth project puts a more human face on a country where most visitors just flit between the colourful temples and markets.

You’ll explore estuaries rippling with beluga whales, learn to drive an all-terrain vehicle and visit Thule (ancient Inuit) bone and stone houses on Cape Anne. There’s also the chance to
