What is the best time to travel to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia? It depends on how you want to discover the Baltic countries.

Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn are the thread running through our journeys, but the landscape changes with the seasons. In spring, forests and wetlands awaken; around the solstice, the days seem endless; summer brings nature at its most vibrant; and autumn fills the national parks with ochre, red and gold.

The December long weekend is a chance for a change of scene before Christmas. Sahara dunes, Atlantic islands, hiking or cities with centuries of history: at Tuareg, we offer several ways to make the most of these dates.

Combining public holidays with a few days of annual leave can turn a long weekend into an eight-, nine- or ten-day trip.

October is the perfect time to escape the noise and crowds. With cooler temperatures and clear skies, trails offer a more intimate experience of nature. And there are no high-season supplements: all advantages.

Choose your destination and get your backpack ready! We depart in October!

In autumn, the weather is ideal for trekking, with warm but comfortable days and clear skies offering spectacular mountain views. The low chance of snow makes this a perfect season to explore the Himalayas. The changing landscapes create impressive scenery for hikers, while the cleaner air makes trekking even more enjoyable.

It is possible to travel Azores Islands at any time of year. In winter, as on the mainland, there can be cold, stormy days, while summer brings a better chance of sunshine for exploring the island’s trails.

The Route of Thirsta was a network of trade routes that emerged in the 1st century BC in response to strong demand for Chinese silk. Starting in Chang’an (now Xi’an), China, its many routes stretched across Asia, eventually connecting with Europe and East Africa.

Uganda, known to the British in the late 19th century as the “Pearl of Africa”, remains little visited and, in many places, yet to be discovered. We offer a unique trip departing on 5 August to explore Uganda’s great parks and visit villages of different ethnic groups. Trekking to see mountain gorillas and an encounter with chimpanzees are the highlights of the itinerary.

Choosing when to visit Nepal can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. The weather varies considerably with the seasons, especially if you are planning one of our treks to enjoy views of the Himalayas.

Can you imagine walking among 8,000 m mountains without embarking on a demanding trek?

We suggest a trip to Nepal which includes a four-day walk in the Annapurna region, with extraordinary views of Himalayan giants (Annapurna, Machapuchare…) and an accessible trail through villages in the Pokhara region among bamboo and rhododendron forests.
