Locally run walking holidays
Yes, there are brilliant large walking holiday companies that have been doing their expert thing for years all around the world. But there are also smaller companies offering locally run walking holidays that are more intimate, almost personalised trips, tying in with local conservation, indigenous groups and, most important, secret spots that only local people know. Often family run, these holidays are often wonderful for family holidays too.
