Who are Crooked Trails participants?

Crooked Trails participants are usually active travelers between the ages of 25 and 60 who are craving a vacation experience that goes beyond traditional tourism.They have a desire to learn about and truly understand the country they are visiting. Most importantly, they are interested in full cultural immersion and look forward to entering our hosts’ homes with openness and respect.

What is the minimum age for your travel programs?

Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Some of our more culturally and physically demanding programs are not suitable for children under the age of 12, though this may vary. For further details, please inquire and also consider our special family programs.

As for upper age limits...

Thailand is not as physically demanding as our other programs, and we have had participants over the age of 60 enjoy themselves.

Nepal is more physically challenging, but if you can walk 6 hours a day for 5 days you should be fine.

Both Peru and India are physically challenging destinations, and anyone considering these programs should be in good physical and mental shape. The hikes and homestays involve long trekking days at high altitudes.
