The world is a large place, but at times it feels as though few destinations haven’t been uncovered. Indeed, our frontiers are always shrinking, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still travel to the most remote places on earth. From the endless deserts of Morocco to the isolated but biodiverse islands of the Galapagos, we’ve compiled our top Culture Trips for exploring the most remote places on Earth.

Four people ride four camels, one led by a guide, in a Morocco desert

Morocco, for mountain hikes and stargazing in the Sahara

If you’re looking for a Saharan adventure, this 11-day overland journey through Morocco could be the remote trip you’ve been craving. You’ll start in the busy coastal cities of Casablanca and Tangier, but soon enough, you’ll be hiking through the Rif Mountains, stargazing under dark skies and riding camels through endless desert dunes. You’ll also visit Merzouga – one of Morocco’s most isolated settlements – where you’ll explore Berber culture and have time for a few desert cocktails in the evening.

Stephantsminda, Georgia. Gergeti Trinity Church Or Tsminda Sameba - Holy Trinity Church Near Village Of Gergeti In Georgia. Spring Day.

Georgia, for serene mountain peaks and luscious valley forests

Join us on the fringes of Europe and Asia for a serene retreat high in the Caucasus Mountains. It’s rare to find a mainland country that has yet to go mainstream, but Georgia is it. We’re not convinced that this secret is going to be kept for much longer, so take advantage while you can and join us on a nine-day tour that includes trekking through the verdant forests of Lagodekhi National Park and hiking to the spectacular Gergeti Church, standing proudly below snow-clad Mount Kazbegi. Even Georgia’s culture feels far-flung and undiscovered – you’ll get to learn about their ancient underground winemaking traditions, as well soak in Tbilisi’s wondrous sulphur baths.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
