Intrepid Travel Expands Range of Women’s Expeditions to Mark International Women’s Day<br />

New tours in Kenya, Nepal, India and Turkey will uncover the customs, food, challenges and lives of local women<br />

First three Women’s Expeditions launched in 2018 were one of the most popular ranges in Intrepid’s history, growing from four to 36 departures in a few months<br />

Intrepid Travel has introduced four<br />

Women’s Expeditions to mark<br />

International Women’s Day, giving<br />

female travellers an opportunity to learn<br />

about the everyday lives and challenges facing<br />

women around the world.<br />

The women-only tours, led by female<br />

guides, provide a unique insight into the<br />

lives of women in Kenya, India, Nepal and<br />

Turkey. <strong>Traveller</strong>s will meet people from all<br />

walks of life and hear their inspiring stories,<br />

from Becky, the first female overland truck<br />

driver in East Africa, to Syrian refugees forging<br />

a new life in Istanbul.<br />

These trips include experiences that would<br />

otherwise be off-limits on regular departures,<br />

such as swimming on a female-only<br />

beach in Antalya or celebrating the femaleonly<br />

Gangur Festival in Rajasthan.<br />

They build on the success of the original<br />

Women’s Expeditions in the Middle East,<br />

launched on International Women’s Day<br />

2018. The range has proven one of the most<br />

popular in Intrepid’s 30-year history, growing<br />

from just four departures to 36 in the<br />

space of a few months.<br />

Intrepid’s global product manager Jenny<br />

Gray said: “These new tours follow an<br />

incredible response to the launch of our first<br />

three Women’s Expeditions. The MeToo era<br />

is making its mark on travel - our female<br />

travellers want to hear the stories and struggles<br />

of women around the globe.”<br />

“This year we’ve discovered even more<br />

extraordinary stories of female empowerment.<br />

These remarkable new Expeditions<br />

give travellers the chance to hear from people<br />

from all walks of life about their personal<br />

and collective struggles and triumphs in<br />

achieving gender equality. They allow trav-
