Intrepid Travel, one of the world’s leading adventure tour operators, today launches its 2007 Asia brochure with fantastic new trips to suit every taste. Featuring the highlights and hidden gems of the continent, the brochure offers the discerning traveller a wider choice than ever of grassroots travel experiences in small groups with an average of ten travellers. Expanding their current itineraries to include new destinations, the new trips comprise traditional Basix adventures alongside Comfort and Active trip styles.

The new trips offer travellers the opportunity to explore the bazaars of Jaipur, savour the flavours of traditional Malay food or go bird spotting on a rickshaw.

Jen Bird from Intrepid Travel says: “The new additions to our brochures extend our passion to bring local culture and real life experiences to every traveller. Asia is where it all began for us and we know the rice terraces, tropical islands and pulsing cities like our own backyard. From the wild grasslands of Mongolia and the 'Stans' all the way south to the volcanic islands of Indonesia and the cultural melting pot of Malaysia, our 2007 Asia brochure is filled with over 20 new adventures to inspire you to pull out the backpack and strap up your boots. These new trips enable Intrepid travellers to experience the real Asia in a way few other companies can, meeting members of local cultures and taking part in traditional lifestyles."

Intrepid’s Asia programme promises to offer travellers the highest level of service and the type of quality real life experiences that the company is known for. The 2007 programme, featuring over 130 trips, will cover 22 destinations throughout Asia. The new Intrepid experiences in Asia are scheduled to start operating on 1st January 2007.
