Time to plan your solo adventure

From the palaces of Rajasthan to walking through vineyards in Europe – wherever in the world you decide to explore, chances are you’ll never walk (cycle or kayak) alone

Planning a solo trip? The good news is you’re not alone. On average, around half the members of a small group trip will be travelling on their own. Numbers may vary from one holiday to the next, but more people are heading off on solo adventures – and why not?

You’ll be joining fellow like-minded travellers to share incredible experiences around the world, so you’re never really travelling alone – no one finishes a small group trip without making new friends along the way.

Travel with Explore and you’ll benefit from a choice of over 600 trips to 130 destinations, from cultural discovery journeys through Asia to walking holidays in Europe. Pick from a wide selection of holidays, from wildlife spotting adventures to cycling trips. You’ll enjoy the security of travelling with an award-winning Explore Leader and a small group of fellow travellers to share your experiences.

The great thing about Explore trips is that there’s no compulsory single supplement to pay – everyone on the trip pays the same price. Accommodation is generally on a shared basis in twin bedrooms, however if you would prefer the privacy of your own room, you can choose to pay extra for a single room upgrade on most holidays.

You could find yourself exploring the undulating desert dunes of Jordan, the staggering lost city of Petra and the fascinating Dead Sea, where you can take a dip in the buoyant waters after a day of exploring. How about tracing the journeys of the maharajahs across Rajasthan, following the ancient caravan routes that meander between forts and temples?

Or uncover rock carvings and gilded temples as you learn about the Sri Lanka’s rich Buddhist history. Alternatively, stay closer to home with a short break in Belarus, an adventure through Romania’s Danube delta or follow the ancient Silk Road through Armenia and Georgia.
