Adventure

caravan/camping

18 July, 2010 - 08:48 — oros

I am hoping to get feedback about a travel idea for adventurous seniors.

Many older people, especially women, would like to travel locally and abroad but do not because of cost and safety concerns.

My plan is to acquire a minibus and caravan, which will be converted and equipped to accommodate myself and eight others for camping trips around Southern Africa.   (Very similar to Rotel Tours, see their website rotel.dc.)

I do not want to sell these tours, but rather have the group traveling together, do the planning and share the costs.

Adventure of a lifetime in Ladakh India

12 June, 2010 - 17:30 — lrstraub

Arriving in Ladakh is possibly one of the greatest adventures in the world. Whether you travel on bus through the land of high passes from Spiti or take a flight through the majestic mountains as I did. Nothing quite describes the flight into Ladakh. As the airplane ascends through the largest mountain range in the world, the Himalayas seem to change color at every angle as the plane swoops between these giant peaks. Your flight comes to an abrupt end on the shortest runway and the highest elevated airport in the world. Welcome to Ladakh. My breath is immediately taken away when I walk off the plane. Not in a metaphorical sense but literally as it is hard to breathe from the lack of oxygen at 11,500 ft. The purple mountains glow in the background as your head starts to feel dizzy. After arriving at your hotel it is necessary to take a day of rest before seeing the sites to acclimate to the altitude.
