Gap Year Expedition
|
 |
If you would like to do some full-on, hard core travelling on your year out an excellent way of achieving this is to go on a gap year expedition. Going on a gap year expedition abroad is all about combining the usual ‘must-see' sights of an area with travel more off the beaten track. Travellers who go on a gap year expedition or college expedition get to experience another side to local life and culture that most other tourists by-pass. Real Gap has a number of different expeditions throughout our most popular destinations including desert expedition in Africa and South America and jungle expedition in Asia
Gap year expedition - India
One of the most exciting and varied countries in the world for a gap year expedition is India.
A gap year expedition to India can be challenging - travel in India can seem like an assault on the senses at times - but it's a fascinating country full of rewards. With Real Gap's ‘Gap Year Expedition - India' programme it's possible to see some of India's most essential sights (such as the incomparable Taj Mahal at sunrise) whilst at the same time journeying on a gap year expedition through lesser known areas of India.
The India gap year expedition is full of highlights, including a tiger safari and - arguably the ultimate gap year expedition experience - a six day trek in the Himalayas. As with all of Real Gap's programmes travellers on the Indian gap year expedition programme have the opportunity to ‘give something back' by working on an extremely rewarding volunteer programme. |

Gap year expedition - Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia is packed with possibilities for year off expeditions.
For example on a gap year expedition to Southeast Asia just some of the things you could get up to include: trekking in the jungles of northern Thailand, searching for orang-utans on the remote island of Borneo and learning to scuba dive on the unspoilt island paradise of Malaysia's Perhentian islands.
Real Gap has numerous gap year expedition options to Southeast Asia including the comprehensive ‘Your Complete South East Asia Gap Year' which also takes in India and allows you to spend up to six months discovering the best parts of India, Thailand and Malaysia. |

Gap year expedition - South America
Another exciting region for a gap year expedition is South America.
| South America is a vast continent boasting an incredibly varied range of landscapes, wildlife, people and cultures - and to see the real South America the best way to do so is by going on a gap year expedition. Real Gap has a range of superb programme throughout South America and we also have three specific ‘Gap year expedition' programmes for Ecuador, Peru and Venezuela. The aim of the ‘gap year expedition' programmes is for travellers to visit all of the essential sights of the country as well as other fantastic places you won't find on standard tour itineraries. For example the gap year expedition to Peru includes ‘must see' sights like Machu Picchu - but travellers on the programme also enjoy other more unique experiences such as a home-stay with a Quechua Indian family. |

In more remote areas of South America far fewer people you come across speak English so to get the most out of a gap year expedition to South America you will need to learn some Spanish (all of Real Gap's South American programmes can include some Spanish tuition).
