TREKKING HOLIDAY

Want a holiday where every day is a challenge, an achievement and a visual spectacular, all rolled up in one? Then you can't do better than go trekking along one of the world's iconic routes. Whether you're clambering over the slopes of the Himalayas on your way to Everest Base Camp, stepping back through time on the Inca Trail in Peru, or exploring cloistered Bhutan on the epic Snowman Trek, there's not much that's more satisfying than walking for days through beautiful scenery, eating up the map and surviving off what you can carry in your backpack. Yes, you'll have a few more blisters than if you'd spent your holiday on the beach – but you'll have many more triumphs, personal bests and moments of pure jubilation to look back on, too.
