There is a Japan most visitors never reach.

Not the famous queues of Kyoto's Gion district, but the narrow Naramachi backstreets of Nara, where traditional merchant houses still line the lanes much as they did centuries ago. Not the tourist trail, but Fushimi, Kyoto's 'Sake Paradise', where we visit the original brewery buildings of the Gekkeikan Okura Museum and taste sake drawn from the same underground springs that have supplied this craft for generations.

And then the Kiso Valley: wooden post towns on the old Nakasendo trade route, wooded mountain slopes, and a quietness that feels entirely earned.

As one guest put it after our inaugural tour: "Kudu has done it again - devised a brilliant trip to a popular destination that finds the best and most interesting places and somehow manages to avoid the worst of the crowds. Which in Japan is quite an achievement."

Our October 2026 departure is now full. Due to exceptional demand, we’ve added a second date - 3 to 18 November 2026 – so do get in touch with us to enquire or to book > https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/japan-walking-tour

The rugged solitude of the Caucasus, captured through the lens of our leader, Neil, during last year’s tour. 📸

By day, we immerse ourselves in remote valleys where the silence is as vast as the glaciers above. These paths offer a rare stillness, winding through alpine meadows to picnics beneath the "Matterhorn of the Caucasus," Mt. Ushba.

As evening falls, the wild landscape gives way to the warmth of a traditional supra. The transition from the granite peaks to a convivial table of fine Georgian wine is the quintessential Kudu experience.

With our departure this September, only a few places remain to join our small group. Click here to secure your spot for 2026 > https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/georgia-walking-tour

Walk like an Egyptian - I love it when I don’t even need to think of a title; it comes naturally. With the launch of our 2027 Egypt tour, the Bangles’ famous hit leapt to the top of the page. It also was relevant to our North Cyprus trip, which will have finished when my avid readers – you know who you are – descend upon this missive, as this turbulent island was part of the Ptolemaic Empire in the 4th Century B.C.

The intricate mosaics of the Alhambra and the rhythmic, arched interiors of the Mezquita in Cordoba remain some of the most striking examples of Islamic art and architecture in Europe.

On our cultural walking tour this November, we spend time exploring these details first hand, learning about the history and craftsmanship that shaped Al-Andalus. The mild autumn weather makes this a perfect season for walking through the region's historic cities and white-washed villages.

Before the winter sets in, join us for a final burst of Spanish culture and sunshine.

Dates: 3rd-10th November

We’ve spent the last few days on a final recce of Northern Cyprus, tracing the quiet coastal paths and mountain trails before our guests arrive tomorrow.

The air is perfectly clear, the sunshine is warming, and the landscape is currently a vivid tapestry of wildflowers – the perfect conditions for our cultural walking holiday. We're looking forward to meeting our group of guests tomorrow!

There is a rare magic in discovery - the kind found only when you are entirely alone with a 12th-century fresco or a meadow of wild flowers.

While the world’s most iconic sites buckle under the pressure of ‘overtourism,’ we invite you to choose "somewhere else."

At Kudu Travel, our philosophy is a gentle nod to the anti-tourism movement: we seek out the places the crowds haven’t yet imagined.

From the high silence of the Finnish lake lands to the secluded ‘Mountains of Heaven’ in Kyrgyzstan, we invite you to choose "somewhere else."

Granada – I’m falling under your spell - The use of Granada as a headline is somewhat disingenuous as my favourite part of our Andalusia trip is in fact, Cordoba. This was one of my very first Kudu adventures in October 2015. We were disembarked across the Guadalquivir River in the early evening with a view across the 16 arches of the 1st century B.C. Roman bridge. Walking across with a beeline to the 16th Century monumental Puerta del Puente, I was enthralled. https://mailchi.mp/923ba83ec064/enewsfeb26

Step into the wild, unspoiled beauty of the "Mountains of Heaven" on our walking holiday to Kyrgyzstan.

Part of the exotic Silk Road for over 2,000 years, this unique terrain is dominated by the majestic Tian Shan, where rivers carve through flower-filled meadows and snow-capped peaks rise to over 7,000 metres.

Walking at a moderate pace, you will encounter traditional Kyrgyz nomads and spend nights in authentic replica yurts, experiencing a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. This journey offers a civilised blend of breathtaking scenery and meaningful cultural encounters, making for an unforgettable off-the-beaten-track experience.
