Intrepid Celebrates the Launch of its New Nepal Trips with 10% off!

For keen adventurers looking to get ‘off the beaten track’ Intrepid has expanded its offerings in Nepal with the launch of eight new trips and a super special deal!

Exotic, remote and wild, Nepal is a land that conjures up images of frosted mountain peaks, deep green valleys and bustling market towns. After years of limited tourism, Nepal is opening up to the world once again and is back on the top of everyone’s ‘must see’ list!

Intrepid has recently released its Nepal and India brochure showcasing its eight new trips as well as another ten amazing tours that explore the wonder of these regions. To celebrate, Intrepid is offering 10% off all trips listed in the Nepal and India brochure (excluding Intrepid Independent trips) for purchase from 1 May to 30 June 2008, for travel before 31 December 2008.

Travellers looking for a real life experience will find an abundance of amazing options in Intrepid’s Nepal and India brochure. New trips include a high-altitude adventure to Nepal’s highest trekking peak – Mera Peak, a journey to the Secret Kingdom of Mustang and the incredibly challenging but equally rewarding trek along the Southern Route to Everest.

While these Nepalese locations may be well off the beaten track, the trip styles are distinctly Intrepid. Travelling in small groups and joined by expert local guides, travellers are able to experience unique cultures, amazing adventure and stunning scenery. Intrepid’s tours truly take travellers beyond the guidebooks to discover the real Nepal.

Examples of the Nepal discounts on offer include:
