 Back-to-back Adventures

Spend less time and money on international flights and more time exploring a destination with back-to-back adventures.

Many of our trips can flow into one another and our team can help advise on the travel in between. From spending up to a month island-hopping in the Canary Islands to climbing Kilimanjaro and rewarding yourself with a safari after your accomplishment, there are plenty of incredible options to combine together. Read on to discover a few of our favourite ideas:

 

Turkey's Lycian Way East & West


Walk Turkey’s stunning Lycian Coast for a fantastic two-week walking holiday. Set off at your own pace, stopping at any café which takes your fancy and follow our detailed route notes and GPS track on the East and West section. Alternatively pick up the local history and travel with like-minded travellers during the East section on our guided small group trip, before setting off self-guided.
 
Combine these trips: Lycian Way East Guided or Lycian Way East Self-Guided + Lycian Way West Self-Guided. 

 

Combine Annapurna and Everest


With over 30 trips to choose from throughout Nepal, our team can advise on back-to-backing any of these routes but if it’s your first time to Nepal, we thoroughly recommend travelling to the Annapurna region first and completing the Annapurna Sanctuary and Poon Hill trek, then hopping over to the Khumbu region to trek to Everest Base Camp. By trekking in the Annpurnas first, which are a lower elevation, you’ll be even better acclimatised for trekking to Everest and reaching 5,600m at the end of your holiday.
 
 
*TOP TIP: Look out for international flights with mid-week departures. These could be a significantly cheaper and our team can book your additional nights pre or post trip for you!

 

Hop on the ferry to link Italy with Albania

With regular ferries between Italy, Albania and Corfu, hopping around the Adriatic Sea is a fantastic way to explore 3 very different countries. Start off exploring Puglia, enjoying the breathtaking landscapes of Monopoli, the Salentro coast, Lecce and finish in in Bari. From here, sail across the Adriatic and arrive into Durres to commence walking in Southern Albania. Enjoy 8 days exploring the charming mountains and beaches of the Albanian Riviera, walking along off-the-beaten-track coastal trails. You can take a very quick and easy ferry from Saranda on the Southern Albanian Coast to Corfu. Your ferry will arrive into Corfu town which is the starting place for our Corfu trail holiday, taking you from north to south across this beautiful island, discovering the rugged mountains, secluded bays and hilltop villages.
 
We have a huge collection of trekking adventures all across the Balkans – an area offering fantastic value and outstanding mountain trails. For a three-week multi-country extravaganza, start inland for spectacular trekking through the undiscovered mountains of Serbia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Montenegro. Head to Croatia to end the holiday with a more leisurely paced adventure, exploring Croatia’s beautiful islands and the Dalmatian Coast.
 
Combine these trips: Through the Heart of the Balkans + Walking the Balkan Borderlands + Croatia's Coast and Islands 

 

A month (or less) in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are a phenomenal walking and cycling destination that can almost guarantee great weather all year round and is very well connected with ferries and internal flights. Start in Tenerife with a guided or self-guided holiday discovering the diverse landscapes of this volcanic island. After this, head to La Gomera to join a guided trip - this includes a ferry from Tenerife! End your adventure in Lanzarote with a choice of cycling or walking holidays, or both! 
 
Combine these trips: Walking on Tenerife + La Gomera - The Jewel of the Canaries  + Lanzarote 

 

Cycling and Walking in the Greek Islands

This trip commences with some truly fantastic walking on Crete with a choice of self-guided or guided adventures that explore the White Mountains and hike through the magnificent Samaria Gorge. Take the ferry north to Santorini and soak up the quintessintial Greek Island life between here and Naxos. Enjoy breathtaking daily walks and fascinating Greek mythology. Finish your Greek Island adventure in Kefalonia for a week of biking (or e-biking!) exploring the dramatic coastal roads and pristine beaches of this sun-kissed island.
 
Complete one of our iconic Inca Trail trips in Peru to reach the magnificent Machu Picchu, or embark on one of our brilliant hiking or climbing adventures in Ecuador, then spend the next week relaxing and wildlife watching in the Galapagos Islands. You can speak to Emily in the KE office who did just that! If you can spare even more time away, we also have extensions into the Amazon which can be found on the ‘Extend your holiday’ tab on many of our South America holidays.

Combine these trips: Inca Trail to Machu Picchu or Walking in Ecuador + Exploring in the Galapagos

 

Temples and Trails in India

Start your adventure discovering the jewels of Northern India, on our holiday to Jaipur, Delhi, Agra and Varanasi. Journey beyond the ‘Golden Triangle’ and observe an abundance of wildlife at Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. After this relaxed immersion into India, you can then join our unique-to-KE trek into the Himalayan state of Uttarakhand and trek into the Nada Devi Sanctuary. Here you can cross the Kuari Pass (3,650m) and experience breathtaking views of the sacred mountain Nanda Devi, a giant peak just shy of 8,000m.
 

 

Explore Sweden’s southwest coast by bike and on foot

Starting in Helsingborg, just 6km over the Oresund Strait from Denmark, spend the 6 days riding quiet roads north along the beautiful coastline before arriving into Gothenberg. Spend a few days sightseeing here before setting off on the second week of your adventure. Embark on island hopping holiday in the Bohuslän Archipelago, discovering the islands of Marstrand, Dyron and Smogen with spectacular day walks and opportunities to dip in idyllic swimming spots, before finishing the tour back in Gothenberg.
