Close Encounters

So, you’ve pretty much traversed the globe. You’ve planted your feet in nearly every country on the planet. You’ve tasted the world’s cuisine and have savored every morsel.

Your appetite for travel is still all encompassing. When you reach that vaunted place in life, what do you do next? You could just pack it in and live on the memories, but that’s not your way, is it? May we suggest a way of getting your cake and eating it to? Why not try a tour that is rather different than others?

Our affiliate friends, Encounters Travel will take you to places that you may never have even heard of, let alone ventured to. And the best thing is their flexibility.

Encounters Travel is a UK based adventure tour operator with a wide selection of cultural and adventurous tours around the world, all designed to help you get the most out of the country you’re visiting. They range from small group tours to shoestring, overland, family, private and tailor-made holidays.

Their tours are designed to be experiential and to give you the best possible ‘Encounter’ with each country, and to be great value without making compromises to save time or money. They are committed to travelling responsibly, and leaving a positive impression and impact on the countries through which they travel.

Why not take your first adventure to Karakorum?  Karakorum was the capital of the Mongol Empire between 1235 and 1260 and of the Northern Yuan dynasty in the late 14th and 15th centuries. Founded by Genghis Khan in 1220 and developed as the capital under his son Ögedei Khan in the 1230s, Karakorum was the political and administrative heart of the vast Mongol Empire for a crucial period in the 13th century. This empire stretched across Asia and into Eastern Europe, making Karakorum a truly pivotal global center.
