Contiki asked its customers what they wanted, and has responded to their answers with a new group of tours. 

“We’re seeing a real shift in how Gen Z and millennial travellers define a great vacation,” said Tom O'Hara, Head of Brand at Contiki. “For over half of our 2025 Voice of a Generation respondents, a balance in types of experience while on vacation isn’t a ‘nice to have’ - it’s essential. They are telling us they want to be active and explore, connect more authentically with local cultures, and ultimately return home feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. These new trips tap into that, blending adventure, local tradition, and meaningful connection to create an experience that stays with you.”

The tour company that caters to 18-35 year-olds is expanding its active trips portfolio with the launch of new small-group tours in Nepal. The itineraries are designed as “bucket-list ventures without logistical stress”, blending culture, wildlife, adventure, and must-see landmarks.

The 16-person trips run for five, six or 10 days in and around Kathmandu and Chitwan National Park, offering a mix of hiking and visits to historical and cultural landmarks for which Nepal is famed.
