G Adventures launches new experiences

NATIONAL Geographic and G
Adventures have joined forces
to launch ‘National Geographic
Journeys with G Adventures’, a
series of 70 experiential trips
to destinations around the
world.
The collection is designed
for travellers who want to
explore new places but seek
the structure and security
that comes with travelling in a
group. A local guide will lead
each group, while travellers
have the opportunity to
connect with local people and
cultures. Examples include
spending time in a family home
in Jaipur; sharing a meal with a
local author and her storytelling
troupe in Botswana; meeting a
traditional weaver in Ecuador;
and sipping homemade
limoncello with a farmer at his
lemon orchard in Italy.
Many trips will feature
visits to projects sponsored
by G Adventures’ non-profit
organisation, Planeterra,
which develops sustainable
projects to support local
communities. A portion of the
travel programme’s proceeds
will support the National
Geographic Society’s nonprofit
work in conservation,
exploration, education and
cultural preservation.
National Geographic
Journeys with G Adventures
for 2016 will be published on
the companies’ websites on
December 15, with departures
from January 5.
