I am still a backpacker at heart and still prefer ‘adventure travel’ – small group, low impact, lots of time for independent exploring etc but just not interested so much in roughing it to the same degree as I used to. If you are of the same mind then you may also like to consider an adventure holiday with a little extra style and comfort. This could include staying at a converted Maharajah’s palace while exploring Rajasthan, a cool Riad in Morocco, or a top end tented camp in Botswana, private luxury lodges trekking to Everest base camp, staying in monastery cave hotels while hiking in Cappadocia or a cruise down the Nile on a traditional Dahabiya. After an active day this is the perfect wind down.
