50-Plus Expeditions Takes You to Places You’ve NEVER Been!
This organization selects adventure trips that are specifically for active 50+ travelers who want to have a fabulous holiday with only over-50 travelers at a reasonable price and pace, and safely. The destinations are quite surprising and wonderful; with no mandatory single supplement charge.
For example, you can travel to the Arctic or Antarctica! Have a taste for Asia? You can visit Borneo, Cambodia, India, Nepal, and more. You can go to Kenya and Tanzania, or climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. Climb Mt. Kilimanjaro? Don’t worry. They let you know if it’s “physically demanding” or not. Personally, at age 60 and hopelessly sedentary, that would not be MY choice; but there are many “low impact” options I would LOVE to experience!
Mountain Biking in Cambodia
In a remote village nestled in the foothills of Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains, former illegal loggers and endangered wildlife poachers are turning to mountain biking to provide a more sustainable income.
Established with the assistance of Wildlife Alliance (formerly Wild Aid), an NGO (Live and Learn) working to protect the area’s endangered wildlife, and in partnership with Asia Adventures, a Cambodian-based adventure tour company, the villagers of Chi Pat have set up a community-based ecotourism project featuring Cambodia’s first off-road mountain bike tours into one of the region’s most important, and little explored, wilderness areas.
Being based in Chi Pat, accessible by a 2-hour boat ride through mangrove forests, intrepid mountain bikers leave the dusty dirt roads of the village and are soon spinning along old logging routes, a mix of double-track and single-track undulating trails that the surrounding vegetation is reclaiming, splashing through streams and wading across shallow rivers.
