Group of travellers standing in front of Jama Masjid, Delhi, India

Take an epic adventure of northern India’s highlights, including one of the famed Seven Wonders of the World, street food that will make you salivate and bustling city streets next to spiritual havens. Discover the Pink City of Jaipur, witness the Mughal splendours of Delhi and Agra and soak up the ambience of holy Varanasi. This 10-day trip through captivating and colourful India includes lavish palaces, vibrant bazaars, and of course, the incomparable Taj Mahal. You’ll take a sunrise cruise along the Ganges River, witness a candle flower ceremony in a popular pilgrimage site, wander the Old City of Delhi and eat your fill of spicy curries and filling flatbreads. India is calling your name!

Trip overview

  • Soak up the unique atmosphere of a candle flower ceremony at dusk on the Ganges River in Varanasi, then wake up early for a sunrise boat ride, where you’ll watch the light gradually illuminate the many ghats and temples along the river.
  • Explore the Taj Mahal – one of the Seven Wonders of the World – and learn of its lesser-known poetic history from a local expert among the surrounding gardens.
  • Discover the secret flavours and spices of traditional specialities during a cooking class in a local home, then – arguably the best part – sit down to feast on your creations. Is there anything better than deliciously fresh Indian cuisine?
  • Rub shoulders with the locals, go on a sightseeing adventure in a rickshaw and immerse yourself in the cultural heart of India on guided walking tours of Delhi, Jaipur and Varanasi.
  • Wander the streets of the gorgeous Pink City of Jaipur and maybe even start your morning here with a sunrise hot air balloon ride – this optional activity is well worth the early start!
  • By travelling on this trip, you’ll learn about our Intrepid Foundation partner, Positive Change for Marine Life. Donations help them to nurture ocean health with community-led conservation initiatives that inspire coastal restoration, sustainable fishing practices and waste-management. Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.
  • Don’t underestimate the weather at any time of year in India. In the summer months, the heat can be extreme. In winter, some travellers have been surprised by the cool evenings. A hat, sunscreen, and clothing that can be layered will serve you well year-round.
  • This trip has some early starts, allowing you to see more of the country in the captivating morning light. Please refer to the Itinerary for more details.
  • Flights and trains can be delayed between December and February due to fog.

Namaste! Welcome to India. Your adventure begins in Delhi, where you’ll have a complimentary airport transfer to the hotel. Tonight, meet your group and trip leader at a welcome meeting at 6 pm. If you arrive early, get out and explore at your own pace. Filled with historical sites from different eras, museums, galleries and endless bazaars, this thriving capital has plenty to do and see. Maybe head to the Red Fort or the Lotus Temple, get a photo at India Gate or explore the World Heritage-listed Humayun’s Tomb. Later, why not get your new group together for a welcome meeting and sample of this country’s famed food.

There are no meals included on this day.

  • Complimentary Arrival Transfer

The arrival transfer is only valid if you arrive on Day 1 or if you have booked pre-trip accommodation through Intrepid. Please provide your flight details at the time of booking or at a minimum 14 days prior to travel.

It’s very important that you attend the welcome meeting as we will be collecting insurance and emergency contact details at this time. If you are going to be late please let your travel agent or hotel reception know. Ask reception or look for a note in the lobby for more information on where the meeting will take place.

Early this morning, you’ll take a train to Varanasi. This holy city is awash with shrines and temples and is the ultimate destination for Hindu pilgrims who travel from far and wide to experience the spirituality of this haven. When you arrive this afternoon, you’ll head out on a walking tour of the Old City, through narrow laneways packed with stalls and shops, past the dhobi wallahs and the endless temples that echo with bells and permeate the aroma of incense. This evening, soak up the unique atmosphere with a candle flower ceremony at dusk. A beautiful ritual to witness, you’ll watch on as locals give offerings of small candles cradled by leaves and flowers to the Goddess Ganga – then float the glowing hand-made pieces down the river as the sun sets in the background.

  • Varanasi - Leader-led Old City walking tour
  • Varanasi - Sunset candle flower ceremony

Your travel time today will be approximately 8 hours.

The train from Delhi to Varanasi departs at 6am.

Today starts early, but it’s very much worth it – you’ll take a sunrise boat ride on the Ganges, where you can watch the light gradually illuminate the many ghats and temples along the river. After, there’s the option to take a trip to nearby Sarnath – one of the four main Buddhist pilgrimage destinations. The site is where Buddha preached his message of the path to enlightenment and features a number of stupas and museums to explore. Your afternoon is free to spend how you wish – maybe explore the laneways and alleys behind the ghats or pick up some keepsakes from the array of excellent local silk. For dinner, you’ll enjoy a group meal of vegetarian thali at a local restaurant. A thali is a popular style of serving food in India, offering a selection of dishes, sides and condiments on a single large plate.

  • Varanasi - Sunrise Ganges boat trip
  • Varanasi - Sarnath - INR315

This morning, take a flight back to India’s buzzing capital. When you arrive, check in to your accommodation, freshen up and then enjoy a free afternoon to spend how you wish. Maybe visit Swaminarayan Akshardham, set on a vast 100 acres of gardens. Maybe just go searching for the perfect street food snack or go on a photo-taking walk.

Your travel time today will be approximately 1.5 hours.

Today you’ll head to Jaipur, Rajasthan's capital, by private vehicle. Arrive in the Pink City and discover its trademark pink hues on a walking tour with a local guide. Navigate crowded streets packed with cars, camel carts, rickshaws, trucks and bicycles, past traditionally dressed Rajput men wearing colourful turbans and sporting magnificent moustaches. Make a photo stop at India's most photographed building after the Taj Mahal – the Hawa Mahal or 'Palace of the Winds'. You will also have the option of visiting Jantar Mantar – an observatory filled with instruments to track the stars, built by the founder of Jaipur, Maharaja Jai Singh. Tonight, maybe continue to indulge in the wonders of Indian culture by watching a Bollywood blockbuster – an elaborate combination of action, romance, drama and music, at the spectacular Raj Mandir Cinema.

  • Jaipur - Orientation walk with a local guide
  • Jaipur - Bollywood Movie at Raj Mandir Cinema - INR400
  • Jaipur - Jantar Mantar Observatory - INR200

Your travel time today will be approximately 5 hours.

An optional early morning hot air balloon experience is the perfect way to start the day – wake early for a breathtaking overhead view of the Pink City bathed in early morning light. Later, climb the twisting roads of the Aravalli Hills and round the final bend to see the massive Amber Fort loom into view. You’ll head on a walking tour to explore the Amber Fort with a local guide – the legacy of a fallen empire, the opulent palace is a superb example of Rajput architecture and is packed with elaborate rooms of lavish murals, frescoed arches, and delicate jali work. Don’t miss the sparkling Mirror Palace, covered floor-to-ceiling in thousands of reflective tiles, the hall becomes a dazzling fantasy with the light of a single match. The afternoon is free to explore more of Jaipur that you might have missed yesterday. This evening, meet your group and leader for a special cooking class in a local home for dinner. You’ll learn the secrets, flavours and spices of traditional specialities from your welcoming hosts and then feast on your creations.

  • Jaipur - Amber Fort
  • Jaipur - Cooking class in a local home
  • Jaipur - Balloon Safari - USD280

Leave the Pink City behind and travel by private vehicle to Agra. Along the way, stop at Chand Baori stepwell – built over 1000 years ago, this is one of the largest stepwells in India. The architectural wonder was once a gathering place for locals and royals alike. The series of narrow steps creates a beautiful pattern that leads to a body of water below. When you arrive in Agra, you’ll visit one of the finest forts in India – Agra Fort. Enter the dark red sandstone stronghold of the fort, part fortress, part palace and part prison, and search through throne rooms and tiny but incredibly decorated mosques. The rest of the day is yours to spend as you please. Maybe ask your leader for the best dinner spots for a local feed.

  • Abhaneri - Chand Baori stepwell
  • Agra - Agra Fort

Your travel time today will be approximately 4.5 hours.

This morning is a real treat – bright and early, you’ll pay a visit to the spectacular Taj Mahal, one of the famed Seven Wonders of the World. Best known as a monument to love and loss, the 17th-century wonder is a beautiful example of Mughal architecture and is surrounded by trimmed English gardens. Take your time here, snap your bucket list photos and take in the majesty of one of the most famous buildings in the world. After, you’ll take an express train journey to Delhi. When you arrive, maybe head to the legendary Connaught Place for some souvenir shopping or take the chance to rest and recharge. This evening, maybe head out for a streetside chaat or ask your leader for the best spot for aloo kulche and chole (flatbread with a spiced mashed potato filling served with chickpea curry) with a side of pickles (and a mango lassi if the spice gets a bit much).

  • Agra - Taj Mahal

Your travel time today will be approximately 2 hours.

After breakfast this morning, your leader will take you to the city’s historic heart with a guided walking tour of Old Delhi. Set off on the city's modern metro system, then get a taste of India's famed public transport with an optional cycle rickshaw ride through chaotic streets, such as the famous Chandni Chowk. Visit the Jama Masjid – Delhi's oldest mosque and one of its most impressive buildings, then visit the Sheeshganj Gurudwara (Sikh Temple) to learn about the Sikh religion. After a jam-packed morning of sightseeing adventures, rest your feet and refuel over a lunch of local favourites. The rest of the day is free for further exploration – maybe wander around Humayun's Tomb, the first garden tomb in India built in 1570, if you haven’t already. Tonight, why not head out to a farewell dinner with your group and hit the nightlife of Delhi to celebrate a trip well-travelled.

Intrepid Travel India – Review: “Indian Getaway” tour

Amateur Traveler India Trip Group

India Gateway Tour Itinerary

Air quality, exploring dehli, jama masjid mosque.

  • Sikh Temple – Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib ji

Night Train to Varanasi

Sunrise boat ride, hindu ceremonies, agra – taj mahal, hawa mahal – “palace of winds”, jantar mantar.

The Intrepid India Gateway trip starts in Delhi and travels to Varinasi, Agra, the village of Tordi Garh, Jaipur and returns again to Delhi. Over the course of the trip we spent the night in:

  • modest hotels in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur
  • a more fancy hotel in Varanasi
  • a heritage accommodation that belonged to a local ruler in Tordi Garh
  • two night trains to and from Varanasi

India Gate shrouded by smog - Delhi, India

We traveled to India in the dry season in November which was great for the weather but not the best for air quality when we were in Delhi. The smog was particularly bad when we were there. It got so bad that United airlines stopped flying to Delhi for a time between our arrival and departure fearing crew health issues. As I understand it the air quality is a combination of the cars, industry and the burning off of local fields.

One of the most notable aspects of Delhi is traffic. The traffic is a mix of cars, motorbikes and the ubiquitous tuk-tuks. Yes, sometimes you need to close your eyes because of some maneuver by your tuk-tuk driver, but much more often you want o close your ears because of the incessant honking of horns. As far as I can tell, an Indian vehicle will cease to function if you stop honking its horn. On the way in from the airport, I tried to count to see what was the longest period of time that I could count between hearing car horns. I once made it to 6 seconds. But if your travel insurance is paid up and your relationship with your maker is on good terms, then there is nothing else to do but sit back, clothes your eyes as needed and enjoy the spectacle.

My whole group loved the food in India. We ate at hotels. We went around the corner to local restaurants. We even stopped by stands along the highway for street food. None of us got sick, although some of us were nervous we would. I never did use the Steri-pen I brought.

I did find the food often to be spicy. Now don’t get me wrong, I like spicy, but India got a bit too spicy for me at times… depending on what I ordered. My go-to dish is chicken biryani. I had it on the Air India flight I took over and was surprised that airline food could reach my tolerance for spicy. Given that food tastes more bland at altitude, that is impressive. When I arrived at Delhi I went around the corner to the first hole-in-the-wall restaurant I found and that was the only chicken biryani on the trip that I could not finish because of the amount of spice. Other things that we ordered were fine and people who did not like spicy food did also enjoy the food.

Before and after the tour we took 2-3 days to explore the city on our own. Some of the sites I hit were:

  • Mughal Emperor Humayun’s Tomb
  • Isa Khan Niyazi’s Garden Tomb
  • Lodi Gardens
  • Qutub Minar
  • The National Museum

food cart Old Delhi

Our first sightseeing as part of the tour was a visit to Old Delhi. I may have thought Delhi was chaotic but Old Delhi turns that up to 11. It is a wonderful concoction of street carts, monkeys climbing the tangle of telephone wires, shops, and food stalls.

Jama Masjid

We visited the large Jama Masjid mosque, one of the largest in India. They expect tourists so all the ladies are rented a covering garment. Conservative dress is appropriate and you cannot wear your shoes inside. When I say “inside”, I mean inside the complex as the mosque itself is a shallow building with most of the actual worship taking place outside.

Jama Masjid

It was not advised for women to climb the minaret unless accompanied by a man, lest they get harassed. I am not sure any of our group made the climb.

Sikh Temple - Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib ji

Sikh Temple – Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib Ji

We visited the Sikh Temple which was quite a different experience. It was bright and colorful and musical. The temple dates back to 1783 and was built on the site where the 9th Sikh guru was killed.

Sikh Temple - Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib ji

One of the more memorable parts of our visit to the temple was a visit to the large kitchens where the community, with help from members of our group, cooked food for any who want it. We stayed for a simple meal of bread and lentils.

Pancham

We spent some time shopping the wonderfully colorful streets of Old Delhi. Our guide Pancham, who we loved by this early point in the trip, had worked on cruise ships and as a chef in restaurants so he was a great resource to talk about Indian food for the whole trip. In a spice shop, he introduced us to the basic spices in Indian cuisine: curry, coriander, and turmeric.

We shopped for some snacks for the next leg of our journey which would be the night train to Varanasi.

India Night Train

I have written in some depth about Riding the Night Train in India so let me just say here that the experience was interesting.  Think of a dorm room at a hostel with 60 or so people except that it is in motion. The chai vendor will come around periodically and sell you a warm cup of chai and we were quite addicted to it even this early in the trip.

I had previously ridden the night train in China on another Intrepid tour (see  Riding the Night Train in China – with Video) . That trip should have been 1st class but we had been bumped into 2nd class because we were traveling close to Golden Week. The Indian 2nd class car was better. In particular, the toilets were kept cleaner than in China. Also, the system for figuring out which car you were in was very clear and very organized on these tremendously long trains.

Varanasi is quite far from Delhi and the rest of the places that we visited. You could certainly avoid this train trip but Varanasi was the highlight of the trip for everyone in the group as I recall, so I was glad we had done the itinerary that included it.

Varanasi India

I have written in depth about Varanasi as it was the most memorable part of our trip ( Varanasi, India – Ceremony, Tourism and Death on the Ganges – Video #103), so I will just hit the highlights here.

Varanasi was overwhelming. This is a Hindu holy city on the banks of the Ganges River. There are a series of 88 ghats, or wide flights of stairs, that lead down to the river. Here people would be bathing in the waters of the river. In two of these ghats, bodies were brought for cremation in a much more public way than we would be comfortable with back at home.

Varanasi India

My favorite part of the trip was the boat ride that started just after the sunrise prayer ceremony. We got into one of the many colorful boats in the smoky misty light of dawn and cruised down the length of the city watching the scenery that seemed almost a ubiquitous beige color interrupted by the colorful saris of the women and the brightly painted boats.

Varanasi India

I took so many pictures in such a short period of time that I burned through an entire battery on my camera . You are going to want a camera with a good zoom that can take pictures like this from a moving boat from a distance.

Bollywood - Varanasi India

We even went past one ghat where a Bollywood film was being made.

Varanasi India

We went down to the river at dawn and again at dusk to see the Hindu daily prayer ceremonies that involved sets of priests with smoke and chanting and fire-making a series of ritual motions akin to dance. All this is going on as throngs of tourists watch. At the evening ceremony, we got back in a boat and watched from a tourist flotilla as young chai vendors hopped from boat to boat plying their wares.

Varanasi India

We had our own more private chance to send prayers out on the Ganges with small biodegradable floating candles.

We also went shopping, drank lassis, watched funerals, dodged sacred cows, rode on tuk-tuks and pedicabs and visited a run-down fort. Check out my Varanasi post for more details.

Taj Mahal

I’ll bet you thought the highlight of this article and of this trip would be the Taj Mahal. I probably did as well.

We arrived in Agra much later than planned as I explain in the India Night Train article. Because of this, we did not have a chance to visit the Red Fort. But the main reason that you go to Agra, if not India, is to visit this white marble mausoleum on the banks of the Yamuna river which was built to honor the Mughal ruler Shah Jahan’s favorite wife. I think it is the story as well as the beauty of the building that makes the Taj Mahal as well known.

Taj Mahal

Let me be clear, just because the Taj Mahal was not the highlight of my trip doesn’t mean that this visit let me down in any way. The Taj Mahal is beautiful and worth seeing and the crowds there should not deter you from visiting. We visited in the late afternoon and then stayed to see it in the fading light of dusk when it takes on a pink hue.

In my opinion, the beauty of the building is the exterior. If you are deterred from visiting the dark interior by the crowds you aren’t missing much.

I met some listeners of the Amateur Traveler because of Tordi Garh. I was in Key West in the summer after our trip and I was wearing my tour t-shirt with this list of places we went on the back: Delhi, Varanasi, Agra, Tordi Garh, Jaipur. I realized a couple at the next table were staring at me. No, they had not recognized me… yet… they just wanted to know where the heck is “Tordi Garh”.

Tordi Garh, India

Tordi Garh is not a major city in India but a village of about 5,000 people. Visiting it was an intentional effort to get us out of the cities into the countryside. We stayed in a Heritage-listed palace owned by the descendants of the person who used to run if not own this village.

step well Tordi Garh, India

It was a nice chance to see what life is like in the countryside. We visited a stepwell, had a tour through the different streets of the town. Segregation by cast is no longer legal in India, but still a fact of life in these villages.

Tordi Garh, India

We climbed the hill above the town at sunrise to the ruins of an old Mugul fortress with a view of the area.

Jaipur, India

The last city that we visited was Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan. Jaipur is known as the Pink City because of the color of its buildings.

Amer Fort - Jaipur, India

Outside of town, the group visited the massive Amer Fort. This spectacular fortified palace takes up 4 square kilometers on the top of a hill. This fort gives a very clear signal who has the power in town. It must be good to be the Raja.

Amer Fort - Jaipur, India

The outside is foreboding and the inside of the fort is opulent with gardens, fountains, and halls where you could hold court. It has everything a self-respecting ruler would need.

Palace of Wind - Jaipur, India

The most spectacular of the buildings downtown was the Palace of Winds which sits at the edge of the city palace.

Jantar Mantar - Jaipur, India

Jantar Mantar is a collection of nineteen 18th century astronomical instruments including the world’s largest sundial. Great effort was put into tracking the sun and celestial bodies not for scientific reasons but for astrological reasons. We were told that even today you would not start a company or hold a marriage on a day that was inauspicious. We visited Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal in our free time. Intrepid trips do have free time for you to explore on your own or maybe line up a cooking class or some other day tour through Urban Adventures which is affiliated with Intrepid.

Also in our free time, Pancham took a group of us to a Bollywood movie. It was not what I expected. It was a romantic comedy, not a musical, with the same production quality as Hollywood… although in Hindi. The movie theatre was beautiful but… people don’t apparently have the habit of being quiet through movies.

The tour ended as it started at the same hotel in Delhi.

Amateur Traveler India Trip Group

I have taken Intrepid tours now to China, Morocco, Cambodia and India and each time the guide has been a treasure. Pancham was a great resource for trying to understand India a bit better. He would herd us to some of his favorite restaurants or stop the bus out in the countryside because he saw a vendor selling water chestnuts or homemade fritters that he thought we should try. He was patient and always cheerful.

The  “ Indian Getaway ” tour from Intrepid is a great first experience with India. It left me wanting to go back as it did many of our group. You don’t have to take my word for it as you can hear their reactions on  Amateur Traveler India Trip – Amateur Traveler Podcast Episode 590

“As far as I can tell, an Indian vehicle will cease to function if you stop honking its horn.” I figured there must be a horn language, lol. When I flew from Chennai to Colombo in Sri Lanka I thought at first I had gone deaf because there were so few horn blasts!

“None of us got sick, although some of us were nervous we would.” My last visit, six weeks in the south, the only time I got sick was in the most expensive hotel of the whole trip. Going vegetarian for the duration isn’t a bad idea.

Looks like you were in AC3 on the Indian train – I’ve only done that once, AC2 is much better. More head room and fewer people. I’ve also done AC1, which is four berths in a lockable compartment, but it tends to be boring. Fellow passengers are government and business types. There should be a plan on the platform showing where the various carriages will stop but I nearly missed a train in Hampi because it was missing and I couldn’t find my carriage – there’s no warning that the train will leave, it just starts moving. If I’m going to take a night train I travel with a silk DreamSack, which takes up very little room. This is a great resource for Indian trains (and others!): https://www.seat61.com/India.htm

I would add the Bahai’i Lotus Temple and the Raj Ghat to the list of sights in Delhi.

Tour operator, intrepid travel, the intrepid travel experience.

If you’re looking for adventure, you’ve come to the right place. For the past 25 years, we’ve been taking small groups of travelers on unforgettable trips around the world. What makes them unforgettable? Take a look for yourself and discover the Intrepid experience.

Our travelers have three styles of tour to choose from: Basix, Original and Comfort. Each has a different level of inclusions and accommodation, but all have unforgettable real life experiences as part of the package. Travellers can also choose themed trips, such as Family, Sailing or Food, to suit their interests.

Our group size has an average of just ten travellers, which allows us to get off the beaten track, use local accommodation and transport, and really get to know the culture. It also ensures we are contributing to the local economy; by choosing local suppliers we were able to keep AUD 60 million in local economies in 2012. We’re also working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and were the first in our sector to introduce carbon offset trips. This, along with our many corporate sustainability activities, has meant we’re one of the travel industry’s leaders in responsible travel.

Why Intrepid?

  •   Small groups - average of 10 people per trip
  •   Sustainability - pioneers for the industry
  •   Local leaders - authentic perspectives
  •   Local transport - get close and personal
  •   Local accommodation - experience real living
  •   Intrepid travelers - like-minded companions 

Intrepid Travel has come a long way since its beginnings in 1989. From two university friends, a typewriter and a kitchen desk, it is now a proud member of The Intrepid Group, taking over 100,000 travelers every year.

Intrepid Travel is part of The Intrepid Group of companies, alongside leading small group adventure companies Peregrine, Urban Adventures and PEAK DMC.

Despite growing into a global business with over 1,000 staff based all over the world and over 800 different trips across every continent, we’ve remained devoted to the same grassroots values and responsible travel philosophies that we had at the very beginning.

On every trip we operate and in every interaction we have with a client, supplier or local, we live our core values everyday:

  • Integrity – Doing the right thing
  • Responsible – Think global, act local
  • Growth – Stakeholders in our own success
  • Innovation – Thriving on new ideas and embracing change
  • Fun – It’s engrained into who we are and what we do
  • Passion – We are inspired by the work we do and the trips we offer

6 BEST Adventure Tour Companies (2024)

While I’m all about independent travel, some of the world’s most enticing far flung lands are best explored on a group tour. You see, some parts of the world require deep local connections to really get to know them, and if you’re short on time, organizing logistics in remote areas can be time consuming. Or perhaps you’re simply not keen to go alone? Whatever your reasons, I’m here to help guide you in choosing an adventure tour company you can trust to provide an amazing experience.

I used to run an adventure tour company myself, so I’m well aware that many tour operators are well, shit. There are still some gems out there though and I’m proud to vouch for the ones I’ve included in this post.

In an era where group tours are often overpriced and provide mediocre experiences at best, these 6 are doing the opposite: they’re crafting incredible, small group adventures to some of the most unique places on the planet and pricing them fairly.

Read on to find out all you need to know to get an expedition brewing with one of the best adventure tour companies on the planet:

Quick Overview: The Best Adventure Tour Companies

  • Best Overall Adventure Tour Company : Inertia Network
  • Adventure Tour Company With the Most Adventures : Intrepid Travel
  • Most Unique Adventure Tour Company : Untamed Borders
  • Best Women’s Adventure Tours : Lost With Purpose
  • Best New Adventure Tour Company : Against the Compass Expeditions
  • Best Gilgit Baltistan (Northern Pakistan) Tours : Intentional Detours

Why THESE Adventure Tour Companies?

The Broke Backpacker is supported by you . Clicking through our links may earn us a small affiliate commission, and that's what allows us to keep producing free content 🙂 Learn more .

These featured companies not only do some fan-freaking-tastic trips, but they do it right – by supporting local communities, reducing their environmental impact, and giving back when they can.

All while managing the logistics of some seriously insane itineraries…

6 BEST Adventure Tour Companies

Epic experiences incoming when you book with these guys…

#1 Inertia Network

Inertia’s epic motto is “We take you off the beaten path in places that are already off the beaten path” -and WOW. Holy fucking shit amigos, Inertia’s itineraries are truly epic.

Founded in 2017 by three friends from Vancouver, Canada, Inertia is the market leader when it comes to truly unique expeditionary style travel.

No doubt my top pick for the very best adventure tour company on the market today, these guys are experts at crafting epic expeditions that locals actually benefit from. More than 80% of their trip costs go to local guides, which is virtually unheard of.

They also regularly donate to charity funds through the Inertia Network Foundation, a non-profit entity.

But now let me entice you with their trips – because they are bloody awesome. They have two types of experiences – curated expeditions and micro trips that cap group size at just 6. These are all the unique adventures that Inertia currently has lined up for the next 12 months:

  • Trek with Mountain Gorillas in Uganda
  • Experience Mainland Yemen
  • Explore Socotra Island
  • Dive with Mobulas and Orcas in the Sea of Cortez, Mexico
  • Swim with Humpback Whales in the Austral Islands
  • Swim with Sperm Whales in Dominica

#2 Intrepid Travel

One of the biggest names in the adventure tourism industry, Intrepid goes everywhere … they literally have more than 1000 epic offerings all over the globe!

What sets Intrepid apart from other large tour companies is they’re actually committed to responsible travel – like seriously. We’re talking certified B-corp status and a very impressive streak of carbon neutrality since 2010, guys! They’re really “about” the sustainability life.

Intrepid Travel

Intrepid always partners with local guides (which should be the norm, but isn’t always in the field) and ensures super professional and authentic experiences. They’re been in the game for 30+ years at this point, and they offer trips on every single continent , with way too many to list here.

Another aspect of their operations that really impressed me is the fact that they have different “types” of trips: Basix, Original and Comfort depending on the type of travel style you’re after.

#3 Untamed Borders

Founded in 2008, Untamed Borders stays true to its name and creates trips that take you to some seriously raw and wild destinations. These are some seriously off the beaten path expeditions, from trekking in the bucket list Wakhan Corridor to visiting Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia.

trekkers hiking on an adventure tour in the wakhan corridor with Untamed Borders

But what really makes this adventure travel company stand out to me is that they don’t just do regular tours – they’re known for revolving entire trips around some truly unique events.

For example you can:

  • Run a marathon in Iraqi Kurdistan, Somaliland, Somalia or Saudi Arabia
  • Go skiing in Afghanistan
  • Experience the Nowruz festival with locals

These small group trips dial in on cultural immersion – which is why they still have such stellar reviews after nearly 20 years in the industry. Aside from fixed-date departures, I love how Untamed Borders are professionals at organizing custom, DIY trips involving just about any adventure activity you can think of.

#4 Lost With Purpose Women’s Tours

My beloved adventure crush, the one and only Alex Reynolds started travelling the world full-time in 2016 and hasn’t looked back since, all whilst providing pristine and honest solo female travel advice on her blog Lost With Purpose. She’s backpacked the real India alone, ridden her motorbike throughout Federal Iraq found a second home in Pakistan where she now runs some seriously incredible women’s tours.

Pakistan is far from the easiest place to travel solo as a woman, but Alex’s expeditions make it easy. She runs numerous tours around Pakistan each year, in partnership with Aneeqa Ali, a Pakistani woman who owns her own tour company in the country.

A jack of all trades, Alex soon mastered the art of motorbiking in Pakistan and has now added a few annual motorbike tours open to anyone who can ride.

#5 Against the Compass Expeditions

A man stands on a rock in Pakistan with mountains and glaciers behind him

Joan Torres quit his corporate job back in 2016 to travel the world and start his travel blog, Against the Compass. He soon found himself exploring some of the world’s least visited locales, and with time, his blog replaced his income.

Eventually, Joan again took a leap into the unknown by starting Against The Compass Expeditions, which now runs dozens of (full) trips every year to places like Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan and Syria. What makes Against the Compass Expeditions my pick for the best new adventure travel company in the game is that he’s actually backpacked every single one of these countries himself, leading to unparalleled local connections and experiences.

This isn’t the type of tour company that’s going to shuffle you around and house you in fancy luxury hotels – these are authentic, immersive experiences that are aptly better described as expeditions rather than tours.

A professional through and through, Joan’s tours are for people who don’t DO tours.

Here are just a few of his destinations:

  • Afghanistan

#6 Intentional Detours Hunza Valley Tours

I met Samantha while motorbiking around the surreal mountains of Hunza Valley a few years ago. She’s lived in the region since then and has since met her husband who’s a native. Samantha has trekked and traveled nearly every corner of Pakistan and knows Hunza and its surroundings better than any traveller I know.

While many other tours of Pakistan involve multiple regions, Intentional Detours trips really focus on the mountains and their communities. They ensure that all vendors, from drivers to local guides to restaurants and hotels are locally owned by people from Hunza or other parts of Gilgit Baltistan, making this one of the most sustainable adventures on this list.

Aside from the tours listed, Samantha can also hook you up with a private or DIY tour, and arrange everything with her local partners for high-altitude treks.

Getting Insured BEFORE Starting Your Tour

Getting yourself some good travel insurance is an essential part of preparing for any adventure.

FAQS About Top Adventure Tour Companies

A few commonly asked questions about adventure tours…

What’s the best adventure tour company?

My honest pick is Inertia Travel – they actually support local communities and genuinely give a damn about responsible adventuring. Small groups to epic places no doubt equates to sublime experiences for travellers.

What is the world’s largest adventure tour company?

That would be Intrepid Travel, a company that has so many trips on offer that you’ll surely find something that screams out at ya.’ From sailing to Antarctica to trekking in the hinterlands of Pakistan, these guys do absolutely everything.

What are the best places for adventure tourism?

Now this, amigo, is a loaded question. There are epic adventures to be had all over the globe, obviously. But if you’re looking for what I really consider a “dream trip” it would be these spots: -Socotra Island – Uganda -Pakistan -Antarctica

Ready for an Adventure Tour?

Regardless of which one of these companies you go with – you can rest assured that you’re in for an epic experience. Want to visit a remote island like Socotra? Take a cultural tour in Iraq? Swim with whale sharks in Polynesia?

You can have your pick among it all – and have the opportunity to meet like-minded, ambitious travellers like yourself.

If you’re not sure which trip to pick, you can’t go wrong with something offered by Inertia 😉
