Travel to New Places 

Intrepid’s been a leader in responsible travel adventures for over 35 years. Their small group trips connect you with people, places and stories you’d miss on your own – thanks to having a passionate, locally-based leader showing you around and like-minded travelers alongside you.

And in 2026 they are introducing these new and exciting itineraries, making it easy to explore two of the world’s most intriguing regions: Central Asia and Mongolia. Places where traditions run deep, landscapes stretch beyond the horizon and a warm welcome awaits.

Why Central Asia and Mongolia? And why now?

Intrepid recognizes the effects of over-tourism. And that’s why, along with travelling out of season, these two brand new trips demonstrate Intrepid’s commitment to spotlighting destinations ready to welcome more travelers – and where the benefits of tourism will be felt more widely.

As a certified B Corp, Intrepid is accountable to reaching those outcomes. Not only are their leaders locally-based, they’re also focused on ensuring accommodation and experiences on their trips are locally owned and operated.

By traveling to Central Asia and Mongolia in that way, you help to diversify tourism flows, creating economic opportunities without the pressures of mass tourism.

The Intrepid difference

Especially when you’re traveling somewhere new, joining up with a group helps you to get more out of a destination. With a maximum group size of 12 on these two trips, not only is it easier to go where larger tours often can’t, Intrepid’s small groups create the perfect recipe for connection – offering up new perspectives and new friends to share the journey with.

Intrepid’s locally-based leaders also open doors to experiences you wouldn’t find on your own. Along with sharing their insight about iconic sites, they’ll also show you to a home-cooked dinner in a family home or introduce you to artisans keeping centuries-old crafts alive.

Plus, they help to take care of the admin. Every stay, every transfer and every meal is thoughtfully planned – freeing you up to focus on the adventure.
