With plenty of new trips added this year, you can choose from challenging treks in Nepal and epic wildlife safaris in Kenya to cultural deep dives in India and train travel trips across Spain. So, if you’re in limbo on where to go next this year, read on to find out our top 10 new trips to try in 2025!
1. Mera Peak Climb
For those seeking to up the ante on their next adventure, the Mera Peak Climb is our toughest trek yet. This exhilarating challenge takes you to the summit of Mera Peak (6,476 m), offering stunning views of some of the world’s highest mountains, including Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Cho You – a rare view which very few trekkers will ever get to see. With fewer trekkers than the Everest Base Camp route, you’ll enjoy quieter trails in the stunning Everest region.
Ideal for those who have already conquered the likes of Everest Base Camp, Gokyo Lakes, Dzo Jongo East or Kilimanjaro, this trek offers an opportunity to push your limits on a non-technical climb while exploring off-the-beaten-path trails. Designed for experienced trekkers, it provides a perfect blend of challenge and reward – which anyone with crampon and ice axe experience under their belts can attempt. With limited departures and small group sizes, this trek is brilliant trek for 2025—so book early to secure your spot before popularity soars! The Mera Peak Climb is the perfect way to deepen your Himalayan experience and reach new heights in Nepal.
2. Foothills Of The Himalaya
For a fresh perspective on India, our Foothills of the Himalaya adventure offers an incredible alternative to the crowded Golden Triangle. Journeying through the tranquil hillside towns, away from the bustle of India’s big cities, this trip not only allows you to bask in the beauty of spectacular scenery like the Kangra Valley and views from Dharamshala and Mcleod Ganj, but it allows you to take a deeper look into the spiritual heritage of the region, focusing on uncovering the rich history of Buddhism and Sikhism. Specific highlights include a visit to the Gyuto Tantric Monastery and the Dalai Lama Temple Complex in Dharamsala and exploring the iconic Golden Temple and vibrant Punjab communities in Amritsar.
This adventure is ideal for second or third-time visitors, as the itinerary is designed to immerse you in stunning landscapes and cultural richness that go beyond the typical tourist trail. Although, if it is your first time and you’re looking to cover more ground in India, why not double up and extend your trip by a week and cover off key highlights across the Golden Triangle?
3. Discover Spain & Portugal By Rail
We can’t deny that train travel is gaining traction over the last couple of years, and this trend looks like it’s set to continue in 2025. Not only does travelling by rail produce significantly lower carbon emissions compared to flying, but it also gives travellers a more relaxed and scenic journey without the stress of airports or long drives. So, we’re excited to launch our brand new Discover Spain & Portugal by Rail this year.
Starting in Madrid, you and your group can explore the grandeur of Plaza Mayor, the Palacio Real, and El Retiro Park before experiencing authentic tapas bars, only frequented by the locals. Afterwards, you’ll south to Seville, the birthplace of flamenco, where highlights include the Royal Alcázar, Seville Cathedral, and the colourful Plaza de España. Crossing over into Portugal, Faro’s charming old town and Lisbon’s historic Baixa district offer a glimpse into the country’s maritime past. The journey continues to Coimbra, home to its famous university and ornate library, before finishing in Porto, with sunset views over the Ribeira district and a serene cruise along the Douro Valley.
4. Kenya Safari Adventure
If you’re looking for unforgettable experience this year, our new Kenya Safari Adventure offers an incredible blend of iconic landscapes and wildlife encounters.

This itinerary also encompasses Lake Nakuru, home to one of the largest concentrations of flamingos in the world, and endangered black and white rhinos.
Unlike previous trips that only offered camping options, this new adventure features a mix of hotels and comfortable safari lodges, like the Laka Nakuru Sopa Lodge on the edge of the Great Rift Valley and the Naivasha Sopa Resort, located near Lake Naivasha, where it’s not uncommon to see monkeys, giraffes, waterbucks and zebras congregate to drink. On this trip, you’ll find that the locals are incredibly friendly and take great pride in their country, always greeting you with a warm and cheerful “Jambo!” For those travelling in 2025, the opportunity to witness the wildebeest migration between July and October in the Masai Mara is also a major draw.

6.Trek The GR20 Of Corsica
The GR20 trek in Corsica is one of Europe’s most demanding and rewarding long-distance hikes, and for 2025, we’re offering a fresh approach by trekking from South to North on our Trek the GR20 of Corsica trip. This direction means there’ll be less crowds on the trails, as you’ll be going against the flow of the traditional route, and the sun will be behind you rather than glaring in your eyes.
The trek takes you through some of Corsica’s most spectacular landscapes, including the Cuscionu plateau, the rugged peaks of the Monte Cinto massif, and the beautiful Pointe des Eboulis (2,610m) the highest point on the GR20.

You’ll also explore Corsica’s lush forests and remote villages, experiencing the island’s unique culture along the way. Although every day is challenging, trekking from South to North allows for a more gradual build-up, avoiding some of the hardest sections at the start. This route is ideal for experienced trekkers looking for a true test in one of Europe’s most beautiful regions.
