Since its inception in 1975, World Expeditions has earned an outstanding reputation as a world leader in small group adventure holidays and cultural journeys. The two factors that distinguish World Expeditions from its competitors are the number of inclusions and the exceptional value of its trips. The company offers more than 500 stand-alone itineraries, escorted by expert leaders and meticulously designed for those travellers who want to take the Ôpaths less travelledÕ. Always innovative, it was the first company to offer cycling holidays in India (1977) and China (1978) and trekking trips in Mongolia (1980) and Tibet (1981). In 2013, it launched a dedicated ÔWorld Cycle JourneysÕ programme and, as of 2011, is the only company to offer the newly mapped Great Himalaya Trail. World Expeditions is independently owned and a truly global company, with nine offices around the world, including Sydney, London and Montreal.
