Discover the world with Intrepid

View Local Intrepid Sites

We know why you travel. We drove an old truck across Africa 25 years ago for the same reason - we wanted to come face-to-face with the real world. To encounter real life. Go on real adventures. And create real memories to make up the stories of our lives.

Our small group style of travel means you’ll stay under the radar, travelling the local way, eating the local way and sleeping the local way. So you’ll get as close to real life as possible (without actually moving in). You’ll have the unsurpassed knowledge of a local leader, taking you out of the guidebooks and into a world you’re waiting to discover.

And with regular departures on trips in over 100 countries, you're bound to find something that's just right for you. For something extra special, why not check out our brand new range of Food Adventures.

Sacred Steps in China

Someone once said “there are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” While the sentiment is admirable, you’ll notice in China that it’s no longer entirely accurate thanks to the introduction of cable cars. Yes, even the highest of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains can be reached the quick way, but as Lucy Hordern discovered if you take the traditional route you definitely won’t regret it…
