Intrepid Travel, the world’s largest B-Corp-certified travel company, has launched two new trekking trips in Peru and Pakistan.
These brand-new trips exemplify Intrepid’s ongoing commitment to growing its sustainable, experience-rich travel style, as its product team continues to create new and more responsible ways to explore the world.
Peru Expedition: Trek the Great Inca Road (from $4,746 AUD)
This 12-day trekking expedition, which will depart for the first time in August 2023, offers an alternative to the popular Inca Trail to Machu Picchu as Intrepid becomes the first global tour operator to bring travellers along this section of the 25,000-mile ancient highway.
The trip includes guided hikes, accommodations, 11 breakfasts, five lunches and four dinners. Other highlights include:
Joining a local leader and traditional llama caravan to hike storied paths that few travellers have ever seen
Visiting well-preserved yet remote Inca outposts
Exploring the Caral-Supe archaeological site, left behind by a civilisation pre-dating the Inca and built at the same time as the first Egyptian pyramids
Meeting with a master weaver to learn about his work and life on the Great Inca Road, where his family has lived for generations
Trek Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountains (from $3,753 AUD)
This 10-day trek, which will depart for the first time in September 2023, brings hikers to the remote part of Pakistan as Intrepid becomes one of the few global operators in this region.
The trip includes a fully supported team of porters, expert guides and chefs, nine breakfasts, nine lunches and nine dinners. Other highlights include:
Exploring the Nagma Valley, one of the world's premier hiking and climbing destinations that has drawn comparisons to the famous Yosemite for its dramatic and towering peaks
Adventuring through sky-scraping mountains known as The Giants and sleeping under star-studded skies in the Karakoram region
Joining a live Balti dance performance at the Nangma Valley campsite and crossing paths with local shepherds whose pastures share these trails
Taking a day hike to the mountaineer’s paradise of Amin Brakk, a natural rock wall also known as the Great Tower
Wandering the story-filled streets of Islamabad, with a local guide leading the way
