Walks Worldwide Launches 2013/14 Programme

BASINGSTOKE, U.K. - April 4, 2013 - PRLog -- “After a day’s walk, everything has twice its usual value” (George Macaulay Trevelyan)

Walks Worldwide has launched an inspiring new programme of walking holidays featuring new trips in Asia, Africa, The Middle East, Latin America and New Europe.  

Comments Mark Knowles, Manager of Walks Worldwide: “We've seen incredible growth in demand for our trekking and walking trips over the last 12 months. Our clients obviously love the outdoors - but it's our choice of either, group treks, self-guided itineraries or tailor-made holidays that is driving exponential demand.

“Our team of experts is constantly looking to search out and develop new corners of the world that are off the beaten track. Among the many new trips in this year’s brochure are a trek to Khan Tengri Base Camp in Kyrgyzstan, a winter snowshoe trip in Lebanon and an unusual itinerary that combines Montenegro and Kosovo. The popular classics are also there - and usually with a special and unique twist - including Everest Base Camp, Kilimanjaro, The Inca Trail and Mount Toubkal.”
