Holidays aren’t just about hitting the beach. Hiking trips are an increasingly popular way to soak up some epic scenery while working up a sweat in some of the most beautiful locations in the world. Trekking trips can take you from the misty cloud forests of Machu Picchu to the winding Himalayan climbs of Nepal, with scenery and ancient ruins that will take your breath away.


The main consideration for hiking is definitely footwear. When you’re on your feet for this long it’s important to invest in a quality pair of hiking boots. You may need lighter ones in hotter climates, but generally you need a pair that fit you perfectly and aren’t going to give you any bothersome blisters, whilst providing the ankle support you need. Layered clothing is important too to deal with varying temperatures.
