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.

Head into the jungles of Chitwan National Park
Got animal-mad teens? They’ll get a kick out of spending two days in this Nepalese national park. Spot hidden tigers from the safety of your jeep, look out for crocs whilst floating in a dugout canoe and track down the infamous, local wild chicken.
Experience the real Jungle Book with Intrepid’s Himalayan Teenage Adventure.
Explore the breath-taking Pyramids of Giza
Thinking back, ancient Egypt was always an intriguing history lesson at school – why not bring that to life for your kids? Journey to the iconic Pyramids, which have stood tall for thousands of years, see the Sphinx and be sure to check out the Mummies too.
Discover the Middle East with Intrepid’s Egypt Family Holiday.
Ride the famous bullet train
Be flung into the future by Japan’s world-renowned, super speedy mode of transport. Hurtling across the country from Odawara to Tokyo at 300km per hour; this is an essential Japanese travel experience that is guaranteed to be a thrill for the whole family.
Feel futuristic with Intrepid’s Japan Family Holiday.
Go for a dip in the Dead Sea
The strange feeling of floating effortlessly in its salt-saturated waters will turn even the most serious of adults or grumpy teens, back into big kids. This truly unique ecosystem is something that you and your family will look back on for years to come.
Float away with Intrepid’s Jordan Family Holiday.
