But it isn\u2019t just about finding the next \u2018undiscovered&#8217; destination. It&#8217;s about highlighting where tourism can genuinely make a difference \u2013 the places that are ready for more visitors and where your travels can have a positive impact on the communities that call them home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dive into the details by <a href=\"https:\/\/reports.intrepidtravel.com\/Global\/Intrepid-2027-Not-Hot-List.pdf\">reading the full report<\/a> and discover a selection of five new trips below set to bring the Not Hot List to life in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge.jpg\" alt=\"Wildlife in Samburu National Reserve, Kenya, includes elephants.\" class=\"wp-image-95888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge-425x246.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge-1170x678.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Samburu-Kenya_Photo-Cred-Samburu-Sopa-Lodge-585x339.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Samburu National Reserve sees just a tenth of the visitors of Kenya&#8217;s busier reserves <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

But go beyond the most famous spots and Samburu will reward you for it. \u2018Samburu offers a different kind of magic \u2013 fewer vehicles and wilder landscapes, all wrapped up in a way that directly supports livelihoods and wildlife protection,\u2019 says Intrepid East Africa general manager, Samuel Karani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intrepid\u2019s new <a href=\"\/kenya\/kenya-safari-adventure-175473\">Kenya Safari Adventure<\/a> captures that magic with two days dedicated to the lesser-known reserve. You\u2019ll spend a full day on safari in search of the rare &#8216;Samburu Special Five&#8217; (the reticulated giraffe, Grevy\u2019s zebra, Somali ostrich, East African oryx and long-necked antelope known as gerenuk) \u2013 itself a welcome alternative to Africa\u2019s more traditional Big Five. You\u2019ll also learn about Samburu culture and traditions from the people who\u2019ve called this region home for generations. Come nightfall, the adventure continues with an optional stargazing experience and bonfire storytelling session under the undisturbed night sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann.jpg\" alt=\"Intrepid's Not Hot List names Whitehorse, Canada, as a destination in its own right.\" class=\"wp-image-95889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann-425x246.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann-1170x678.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Whitehorse-Yukon-Canada_Photo-Cred-Stefan-Gottermann-585x339.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Whitehorse, Canada, is a gateway to adventure and a destination in its own right<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See Whitehorse, Canada with a First Nations guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time, Whitehorse has been one of those in-between places travellers stop at on their way to somewhere else \u2013 from the Indigenous salmon fishers and Klondike gold prospectors of yore to road trippers along the Alaska Highway. But this city has earned its place on the Not Hot List as a destination in its own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Intrepid\u2019s new <a href=\"\/canada\/wild-canada-alaska-vancouver-anchorage-176448\">Wild Canada &amp; Alaska: Vancouver &amp; Anchorage<\/a> trip you\u2019ll spend two nights in Whitehorse, learning about the city through an Indigenous lens on a guided tour with a local Tlingit guide from the Kluane First Nation. As you walk the city together, your host will share their First Nations history and give you an insider&#8217;s perspective on how cultural heritage and modern life coexist here. \u2018The Yukon has wilderness that is vast and pristine because of the stewardship here by the Yukon First Nations people,\u2019 says Amber Berard-Althouse, one such guide. \u2018Visiting means stepping into history and feeling the land in a very meaningful way.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city still serves as a gateway to the surrounding Yukon wilderness \u2013 hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, skiing, bear spotting, stargazing, hot springing opportunities abound up here \u2013 and the new Arctic Canada Tourism Network is making it easier for travellers to explore year-round through a stronger and more sustainable tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel.jpg\" alt=\"Sri Lanka's Pekoe Trail lands on Intrepid's Not Hot List this year.\" class=\"wp-image-95890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel-425x246.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel-1170x678.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Pekoe-Trail-Sri-Lanka_Photo-Cred_Intrepid-Travel-585x339.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Sri Lanka&#8217;s Pekoe Trail directly benefits communities along the way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Guided by your local leader, you\u2019ll weave through the island&#8217;s tea estates and cloud forests, connecting with the local community and learning all about the region\u2019s tea heritage along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Intrepid leader, Shihan De Silva, backed the Pekoe Trail as a contender for the 2027 Not Hot List. He says, \u2018The trail takes you through the heart of our Hill Country, through tea plantations, forests, mountains, small villages and communities. More importantly, you\u2019re meeting local people and seeing how life really happens in the Highlands.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board.jpg\" alt=\"Jordan's Northern Highlands are often overlooked, says Intrepid's Not Hot List.\" class=\"wp-image-95891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board-425x246.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board-1170x678.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Northern-Highlands-Umm-Qais-Jordan_Photo-Cred-Jordan-Tourism-Board-585x339.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Jordan&#8217;s Northern Highlands reveal a greener side of the country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

But there\u2019s a greener side to the country hidden in the Northern Highlands, where travellers on the new <a href=\"\/jordan\/jordan-uncovered-175503\">Jordan Uncovered<\/a> trip can find well-preserved ruins, established community-based tourism initiatives and a distinct lack of crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018Hospitality is one of the things Jordanians are most proud of and what makes this region truly special is the people,\u2019 says Salam Shaqdeeh, Intrepid\u2019s general manager for Jordan and Egypt. \u2018You\u2019ll stay in locally owned guesthouses, share meals with families and experience communities where tourism is helping to sustain rural livelihoods.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trip highlights include the chance to explore the Roman ruins of Umm Qais, walk through pine forests of Ajloun and meet a beekeeper to learn about the important role bees play in the Highlands \u2013 from supporting local ecosystems to sustaining livelihoods. You\u2019ll even suit up and get among the hives to discover the traditional methods used to harvest honey today. The best part? You&#8217;ll finish with a honey tasting, fresh from the source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi.jpg\" alt=\"Hike in Georgia's mountainous Mestia region, using Intrepid's Not Hot List as your guide. \" class=\"wp-image-95892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi-425x246.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi-1536x890.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi-1170x678.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Mestia-Georgia_Photo-Cred-Tuul-Bruno-Morandi-585x339.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Georgia&#8217;s mountainous Mestia region offers a hiking trip like no other<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

Head here and you\u2019ll find medieval towers, traditional Svan culture and trekking routes that weave through UNESCO-listed villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travellers on Intrepid\u2019s new 9-day <a href=\"\/georgia\/georgia-trekking-transcaucasian-trail-176402\">Georgia: Trekking the Transcaucasian Trail<\/a> trip will pass through these villages and be welcomed into family homes for meals along the way. As Intrepid leader, Merab Mchedliani, puts it: \u2018Mestia is a place unlike anywhere else. Like [all] Georgians, Svans are incredibly hospitable people. They&#8217;ll do everything they can to make their guests feel comfortable, valued and truly welcome.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before setting off on the four-day trek from Mestia to Ushguli, you\u2019ll take a short hike to Chalaadi Glacier, following forest trails until you reach a flowing river that leads to the glacier beyond. With the slopes of Mount Ushba towering overhead, the rugged scenery offers a glimpse at the types of wild Svaneti landscapes the rest of the trip has in store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
