Swerve the obvious and discover the unusual with these unorthodox adventures, from remote hiking trails in Georgia\u2019s Caucasus to an alternative island escape on Sumba.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a firm believer that \u2018not until we are lost, do we begin to understand ourselves\u2019, as cabin-loving Existentialist Henry David Thoreau once mused, you\u2019ll likely love these paths less travelled. Here, comfort zones disappear and sights of the shore are lost, as the cosy and familiar fall away. Instead, you\u2019ll hike trails untrodden, come into contact with customs new and see strange lands surface to shed fresh light. Leave routine to the rest of them. The ordinary can wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Glimpse Greenland\u2019s wild west<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sea views don\u2019t come much better than those you\u2019ll see from the iceberg-shaped windows of Ilimanaq Lodge \u2013 where private terraces gaze out over Disko Bay. Part of what sets Intrepid\u2019s Premium trips apart, this elevated Feature Stay appears on the Premium Greenland<\/a> adventure alongside next-level experiences, such as exploring the UNESCO-protected Ilulissat Icefjord, where giant husks of ice peel off the Sermeq Kujalleq glacier. Trips to Disko Island and trails through the Inuit settlement of Sermermiut reveal another side to western Greenland<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Hike Georgia\u2019s remote mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Georgia\u2019s northwestern Svaneti region is fabled among hikers. Remote and hard to reach, many go in search of its clutch of Caucasus peaks, crisp mountain air and culture courtesy of the Indigenous Svan people. It\u2019s for this reason the region made it onto 2027\u2019s Not Hot List<\/a> \u2013 Intrepid\u2019s annual call to arms<\/a> to covet offbeat places. Explore the area, including Mestia\u2019s Chalaadi glacier and the meadows and mountain passes around Ushguli, on the Georgia: Trekking the Transcaucasian Trail<\/a> trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Go deeper in Jordan\u2019s Northern Highlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ve seen the reds of Wadi Rum and the golds of Petra,<\/a> but have you spied the greens of Jordan\u2019s Northern Highlands? This fertile alternative to the country\u2019s well-travelled desertscapes features on the new Jordan Uncovered<\/a> trip, which explores the protected forest reserves of Ajloun, Yarmouk and Dibeen and connects with community beekeepers, cheesemakers and artisans. You\u2019ll stay in local guesthouses, discovering why Jordan\u2019s hospitality runs deep, as you explore this region, which warranted a Not Hot List nod this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. See Rwanda from the saddle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Land of a Thousand Hills\u2019 presents a challenging prospect for cyclists. If you\u2019ve got the legs for it, the 11-day Cycle Rwanda<\/a> trip unlocks high-altitude national parks in chimpanzee-roamed Nyungwe and low valleys in the misty Virunga Mountains. You\u2019ll tackle the gravelly paths of the Congo Nile Trail and a section of the UCI Road World Championship route, with glassine roads in between that\u2019ll have you picking up speed. Switch to two legs for optional mountain-gorilla trekking to seal the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Go slow in the Yukon capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Formerly viewed as a hub to pass through, Whitehorse \u2013 capital of Canada<\/a>\u2019s Yukon wilderness and a Not Hot List nominee for 2027 \u2013 is now a destination in its own right. On the Wild Canada & Alaska<\/a> trip, rather than zip through it, you\u2019ll pause for two full nights to engage with daily life, exploring the city alongside a local Tlingit guide and member of Kluane First Nation. There\u2019s also plenty of free time to take in nearby hot springs before heading out into the wilds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. An alternative island escape in Sumba<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bali will seem a long<\/em> way away when you\u2019re visiting traditional Ratenggaro and Prai Ijing villages on sister island Sumba as part of the Indonesia: Sumba Island Discovery<\/a> trip. If you\u2019re not one for crowds, this adjacent Indonesia speck is the sort of place where you\u2019ll get to play traditional games, learn local dances and take part in island-only farming activities. On Intrepid\u2019s week-long trip, there are also wild swims at Waikuri Lagoon, picnics on the white sands of Puru Kambera and surrealist sunsets against the mangroves of Walakiri Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Explore Mexico\u2019s central heartland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tequila? Practically impossible to resist when you\u2019re touring the agave fields outside Guadalajara that produce the fun-loving drink. But that\u2019s not the only curiosity you\u2019ll uncover on the Central Mexico and the Sierra Gorda<\/a> trip, which weaves through the colourful streets of Guanajuato via regional-music reveals and insights into Indigenous traditions, before rounding off in the seldom-seen biosphere reserve of Sierra Gorda \u2013 home to cloud forests and rare axolotls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Stargaze in Kenya\u2019s Samburu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Noted on the 2027 Not Hot List as an alternative to Kenya<\/a>\u2019s bigger parks, Samburu is a special kind of place. Here, as part of the 10-day Kenya Safari Adventure<\/a>, you\u2019ll aim to spot the \u2018Samburu Special Five\u2019 and get the chance to take part in an astro-tourism experience and bonfire storytelling session that blends cultural tales with astronomy and stargazing. Trips to a rhino conservancy in Ol Pejeta and birdwatching boat rides on Lake Nakuru within the Great Rift Valley also reveal a quieter take on Africa\u2019s safari hotspot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Discover the real Maldives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Behind the private-island resorts, there\u2019s a different, more authentic, more local side to the Maldives. On the Maldives Beyond the Beaches<\/a> adventure, you can discover it via home-cooked meals on Goidhoo island, lunches with Thuladhoo fishermen and guesthouse stays on Thoddoo island. In fact, boat rides and guesthouses are all of the local variety, meaning there\u2019s plenty of time to connect with islanders \u2013 and a guided snorkelling trip to meet marine life, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Seek peace on Sri Lanka’s Pekoe Trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Three hundred kilometres of carefully cultivated footpaths \u2013 that\u2019s the promise of Sri Lanka<\/a>\u2019s newly minted Pekoe Trail, another notable Not Hot List inclusion for 2027. You can experience it on Intrepid\u2019s Hike Sri Lanka’s Pekoe Trail<\/a>, which tackles six standout sections of the long-distance footpath over 10 scenic days. Along the way, you\u2019ll swerve busy sights in favour of pindrop-quiet highland scenery and sippable tea estates, where you\u2019ll spend a starlit night camping in Tea Country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Admire Norway\u2019s winter wonderland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Knitted sweaters worthy of a Nordic crime drama are non-optional on the new Northern Norway in Winter<\/a> adventure, which transports you to the far reaches of the fjord-flecked country at a time of year when temperatures drop and the sun rarely rises. When daylight does<\/em> prevail, you\u2019ll search for orcas and humpback whales in the remote Skjervoy archipelago, mush huskies on a snow safari, discover Indigenous Sami culture and rub shoulders with reindeer residents. If you\u2019re lucky, the northern lights<\/a> might further ignite the adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. Take a family trip to Taiwan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who says grown ups should have all the fun? On the new Taiwan Family Holiday<\/a>, kids aged five and up can skip the same-same all-inclusives and so-so theme parks in favour of crafting their own bubble tea in the country that created it. There\u2019s a chance to learn how to make bao and beef-noodle soup, night-market visits and saunters along Shifen\u2019s railway street, too. You\u2019ll meet with the Indigenous Meixi people, take a bike ride around Sun Moon Lake and indulge in beach time on the sands of Baishawan and tropical Lambai Island, home to green sea turtles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
