As the sun starts to fade and the days get shorter, what better way to extend your family’s summer than with a hot October half term break? If it’s a quick flight you’re after, both Jordan or Egypt are still warm this time of year and the major tourist crowds have now dissipated. If you’re happy to travel a little further afield, Asia in autumn could be the perfect destination. October kicks off the dry season in India and Nepal, bringing with it beautiful, tropical spring flora, fresh from the monsoon rains.

Don’t pack so heavy. You can wash clothes there. Use free time to explore on your own.

I can't say enough good things about Intrepid travel! We have always had a great experience when we travel with Intrepid. Lots of wonderful memories! We also learn so much about different cultures from their awesome tour leaders, from the places we visit and from the people we meet. All the experience you get, you definitely can't put a price tag on.
