Have you ever wanted to see wildlife in their natural habitat, discover fascinating cultures and ways of life, acquire a new sporting skill such as white-water rafting or dog-sledding, or trek to a breathtaking viewpoint on a mountain? Adventure travel will leave a lasting memory to cherish for years to come.

From the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro at 5895m - the world`s highest freestanding mountain - you will witness the longest view on earth, and see the curvature of the horizon for yourself.

Mount Everest base camp treks are a popular adventure destination, incorporating Nepal`s bustling Kathmandu, rest days in rural stopovers to allow adjustments to the altitude, beautiful scenes and meeting local people. There`s a gradual drop in temperature as you ascend the frozen river trail up to base camp and the tremendous Khumbu Glacier.

The incredible lost Inca city of Machu Picchu - literally stumbled across in a remote mountain location in 1911 - has ensnared travellers for years. An extraordinary four day trek which caters for most abilities (and all budgets) traverses remote Peruvian villages, stunning mountain scenery and remarkable ancient ruins.

One of the world`s best long distance walks navigates Western Europe`s highest mountain, Mont Blanc, offering amazing views, dramatic scenery, glaciers and rock pinnacles, Alpine meadows and striking flora. Although reaching the summit of Mont Blanc (4810m) tops the list of ambitions for many experienced climbers, the mountain is just as enjoyable from an easier trail -occasionally assisted by cables and rails. Specialist operators recommend essential tools and equipment such as an ice axe, crampons, insulated and comfortable mountaineering boots, appropriate headgear, harness, gaiters, telescopic walking poles, high-protection sunglasses, a sensible-sized rucksack, water bottle, sun block, waterproof and windproof clothing and blister kit. They also suggest earplugs - useful when sharing tents and huts with others - and an MP3 Player for additional enjoyment.

Ambitious mountaineering should only be attempted following a suitable training programme, especially as the ascent of Mont Blanc for example usually takes approximately 12 hours. Jogging regularly for over an hour at a time at home, hill walking in the Welsh Mountains, Peak or Lake Districts will all be invaluable practice.
