Sustainable travel is at the core of specialist tour operator Scott Dunn’s eco-conscious itineraries, with the luxury tour operator going as far as to offer carbon offsets for their guests. Their latest Walking Tour packages personify their philosophy.

Walk Tajikistan takes guests through breath-taking landscapes of the lesser-known country, including the remote Fann Mountain range and Silk Road. For the former, the trek will be led by an experienced team that includes a guide, cook and donkey handler, and will offer views of mountain panoramas and azure alpine lakes. Finally, stop at Iskanderkul, the ‘jewel of Tajikistan’, home to a 43-metre waterfall. The 10-day itinerary includes accommodation, full board, private transfers and selected experiences. S$4,300 per person.

Walk India focuses on the pristine biomes of the Indian Himalayas. Start in the mountainous Uttharkand region, unchanged in its rural charm. Throughout the journey, guests will move between the Shakti Village Houses in Deora, Alai and Jwalabanj. These secluded mountain lodges offer a glimpse into a simpler and more sustainable life. Treks are accompanied by a private guide, porter and chef. The 10-day itinerary includes B&B accommodation, private transfers and selected experiences. S$9,700 per person.
