Backpacking Tours

I would say that in general backpacking tours are aimed at people in their 20's and early 30's. I've been on backpacking tours that had people of all ages, so there is no set in stone age you need to be. Most backpacking tours will provide the necessary backpacking equipment, ensuring backpackers a comfortable and fun filled outdoor backcountry experience. The equipment typically includes backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, ground pads and meals, and are "complemented" to a client's physique, limitations and capabilities considered.

Group backpacking tours are most often organized to some of the wildest and pristine locations so that a backpacker can actually get accustomed to the peculiarities of survival. On the other hand, it is supposed to be the funniest and the most joyful vacation in the company of brave campers and a thoughtful supervisor.

Join one of these tours or request a custom tour for the dates that suit your schedule.  France backpacking tours involve full-day backpacking from hotel-to-hotel or inn-to-inn, along mainly long distance trails and paths. Once you have started the treks, all meals are included for your convenience, as well as luggage transfers, although you can opt out of both meals and luggage transfers if you so wish.

Many tour operators who conventionally only offered plane-train-bus-cruise tours have of late started offering backpacking tours to cater to the changing needs of the travel industry. Backpacking is adventurous, backpacking is exciting and best of all, backpacking is a great way to go off the beaten track and discover lesser known areas, even in popular tourist spots. Backpacking tours that have you traveling to another country for your expedition may need to be covered by insurance. There's backpacking travel insurance available for those who prefer to have medical coverage in case of emergencies.

But remember, these are just outlines of what your trip might be like. The number of miles, number of days, and possible routes, are extremely flexible. These companies offer guided, small scale (usually 6-12 participants) trips to remote parts of the globe. Some even visit tribal areas giving you the opportunity to interact with tribes like the Dogon (in West Africa) in some of the world?s remote places. Most trips are moderately difficult and will typically travel around 35 miles over eight days.
