Trekking in Mount Kenya 📷 Lauren Bullen |
Not the Poor Cousins. Just the Overlooked Heroes |
|
We all know the big-name trails and iconic adventures. They’re popular for good reason.
But some trails hum quietly in the background. They may not flood your social feed, but for those drawn to rich cultural exchange, wild silence, and immersive adventure, these places speak louder than any post can speak.
These adventures aren't detours or substitutes. They're deeply rewarding journeys in their own right, offering the same sense of achievement and wonder—minus the crowds.
For travellers who seek the path less travelled, these hidden heroes might just be your next great adventure. |
