Whether you are a seasoned adventure veteran, or a beginner off on their first exciting new trip, walking or trekking holidays could be the perfect break for you. Whether you seek to see some culture across Europe, or some mountains in Nepal, there is bound to be a location to suit you.

Something to be aware of when considering a trekking holiday is whether or not you will have a guide. Some treks are suitable for holiday makers to simply follow their own map, whereas others are only suitable when walking alongside a knowledgable guide (for example, in amongst mountains!). There are benefits for both self and guided walks – self guided involve a lot more freedom to go at your own pace, whereas a guide can offer invaluable tips and experience to make your trek unforgettable.

You may be wondering whether you will be fit enough to enjoy a walking holiday. Of course, each holiday varies in terms of challenge, so choose something that you think you will enjoy. It is sensible to have a reasonable level of fitness, and practice walking with boots and backpacks on before you depart!
