Ten unusual places to visit as a solo traveller

Any of our small group tours are perfect for solo travellers as you'll be sharing your experiences with like-minded people, and travelling with an expert local guide. Skip the typical tourist destinations and discover ten of our most unusual places to visit as a solo traveller.

 

Georgia

Nestled in the deep gorges of the Greater Caucasus Mountains, Georgia’s Svaneti region is home to impressive snow-capped peaks and remote historic villages. As you embark on a Georgian Caucasus trekking trip, you’ll first stop at Becho, situated in the shadow of Mount Ushba. Later, hike from Jvari to the stunning lakes of Koruldi for views of snow-covered glaciers and several mountain summits.

Uzbekistan

This up-and-coming destination is perfect for solo travellers looking for something different, all with the reassurance of travelling with a small group and the knowledge of a local guide. Explore the fascinating Silk Road cities of Samarkand, Bokhara and Khiva on our Wonders of the Silk Road tour.  The dazzlingly colourful palaces and madrasahs of Uzbekistan are like nowhere else.

Bhutan

Discover the fascinating Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, with its many spectacular dzongs and monasteries including the fabled Taktsang 'Tiger's Nest', perched high up on a cliff face. Enjoy panoramic views and breathtaking hikes along ridgelines and through glacial valleys on our Walking in Bhutan trip, with opportunities to meet locals and watch vibrant and enthralling festival dances.

Colombia

For a country full of variety, look no further than Colombia and our Contrasts of Colombia trip. Not only do we visit the Caribbean coast and the lush, green coffee region, but we contrast the modern city of Medellin with the more traditional Andean culture found in Bogota. The food is a definite highlight of Colombia, and you'll get plenty of opportunity to try it, from Bandeja Paisa, the national dish, to pandebono, a traditional bread made with cheese, frequently served with guava paste. You'll even get to have a go at cooking it yourself with a cookery class in a traditional hacienda.

Benin

Benin is certainly not a common holiday destination, but there are lots of unique hidden gems to be discovered. The people are what make this country, and you'll have plenty of opportunity to meet the locals on our Benin and Togo Voodoo Discovery tour.  The trip includes staying in a stilt village and watching dancing mask and Voodoo ceremonies; this is an itinerary that couldn't be matched if you were travelling on your own.

El Salvador

Explore the hidden gem of Central America, with its impressive volcanoes and crater lakes, delicious food and scenic colonial villages. Take a boat trip through the mangrove canals with a local biologist to monitor hawksbill turtles and visit an ex-guerilla community in the rainforest village of La Cinquera.

The Baltics

Visit three Baltic countries in just a week on our Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania walking trip. This group tour takes in a variety of landscapes from medieval towns, forts and castles to coastal national parks and even bogs, where you can have a go at bog walking! Sharing this unique experience of exploring is a sure way to get to know the rest of your group.

Jordan

Jordan is a popular destination right now, but why not explore it in a different way? Our Jordan cycling trip is ideal for solo travellers looking for an active holiday that combines moderate cycling with history and culture. Descend by bike down towards Petra, where we spend three nights, giving ample time to explore the vast site. Once you've walked through the deep and narrow gorge at the entrance you'll be met by a guide for a tour of all the key parts of this astounding 'Rose City'.

Romania

Breathe in unspoilt mountain air on our Romania walking trip. This moderate to challenging trip includes one of the most spectacular ridge walks in Europe, in the Piatra Craiului mountains with incredible views of the southern Carpathians. Some sections of this walk are not suitable for vertigo sufferers. What better way to make new friends than high up in the mountains on a breathtaking walk!

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Head to the Balkans for spectacular scenery, delicious food and warm hospitality. Get to see the little-known gems of Bosnia and its neighbour by bike on our Cycle Bosnia and Montenegro tour. Cycle through deciduous forests, mountain farmlands and a remarkable gorge of the Drina Valley before crossing into Montenegro, where we'll stay in an eco village. The chalets have great views over the valley and lake below, and we'll get to try the traditional Montenegrin fare for dinner.
