Take a holiday break in 2008
There’s a holiday for you in this Summer Edition Newsletter. Great leaders, small groups, well researched itineraries, top value, and loads of fun; that’s common for all our holidays.
We like our adventures to be active and exciting. So you’ll find that some holidays are physically challenging and suitable for the fit and dedicated adventurer, while others are less active and suit people who like an easier pace. All trips are for those who love the great outdoors and wish to immerse themselves in interesting cultures in exotic locations. When you join one of our holidays, no matter where you live, you’ll receive our full support to ensure you’re well organised for the best holiday of your life.

SHAGGY RIDGE
27 July – 08 August 2008 | Grading: Challenging
Back Track has been privileged to operate treks over the Kokoda Track for many years. Together with our trekkers we have shared some very special moments. Many who have trekked with us have expressed an interest to return to PNG and learn more about the exploits of our fighting men during the campaigns that followed the Kokoda Track. In July 2008 we are going back to do just that - we are returning to explore another remarkable battlefield: Shaggy Ridge in the Ramu Valley. Learn more >>

This is a very comfortable holiday using good accommodation and private transport throughout while exploring Indian markets, remote communities and experiencing fascinating people and culture.
