Great Journeys

With our Great Journeys you can follow in the footsteps of some of the great travellers of a bygone age, experiencing several far-flung and exotic destinations all in a single guided walking holiday of a lifetime. Our Great Journeys are guided walking holidays that are longer in duration, take you across a wider region (often more than one country) and are generally lower grade, easier walking, staying in comfortable accommodation.

The High Andes
In this (relatively) small area where Argentina and Chile border Bolivia we have a microcosm of South America. From the high border pass at Paso de Jama (4200m) surrounded by Andean peaks where nothing grows to the abundant wine valleys around Cafayate, this is as diverse an adventure as you could imagine.

Spices, Plantations & Hill Stations
Southern India offers a whole new experience to visitors familiar with the landlocked mountains and sun baked plains of the north. The monsoons keep the land lush and fertile and it has an almost tropical feel with verdant coconut groves, thousands of miles of coastline, green plains and undulating hills.

A Journey Through Ceylon
Although largely a sightseeing holiday, we’ve included some good walking through magnificent countryside. The name Ceylon, still widely used, was introduced in 1815 when the island came under British Colonial rule and the economy blossomed with extensive tea and rubber plantations being developed.
