Most hikers who have come to develop well-rounded skills in trekking routes, venture to explore the world on their own. The only thing that will make them resort to packaged tours, is when they lack the time needed to research about a travel destination, organize an itinerary and make all the booking arrangements necessary. After all, one cannot just go off on a vacation leave without making sure that every task that needs to be done has been accomplished. There are instances though, when little time is left to make a sound plan for a long-awaited, off-to-hiking vacation.

What is a Self-Guided Trip?

The great news is that most adventure tour providers are also offering self-guided trips for those wishing to explore a hiking destination on their own. This type of service will take on all the planning, including mapping out of routes and furnishing all information needed by a self-guided traveler.

Awesome even is that planning takes into consideration the skills, interests and preferences of the hiker. That way, from start off point, throughout the entire hiking adventure, up to finish, the self-guided venturer can proceed with confidence.

What to Expect from Self-Guided Trips

Providers of Self-Guided travels create a bespoke hiking plan  for the explorer; using information drawn from years of experience, and from connections established as expert travel/ tour guides. The tour company undertakes paying out in advance, travel accommodations and basic meals agreed to and confirmed by the traveler.

Information provided is comprehensive, as it will include not only topographical maps; but also trail notes, alternate routes, modes of transfers, refuge centers, and even where one can get laundry services.
