Authentic Cultural Experiences
Each itinerary includes unique cultural experiences, such as staying in a traditional hanok in South Korea, meeting female entrepreneurs in Pakistan or hiking to remote shepherd outposts in Albania.
The newly launched trips by G Adventures emphasize exploration, social connection and responsible tourism, reinforcing a commitment to sustainable travel, which is a popular travel trend.
