Original tours are a popular travel format in which you explore interesting places under the guidance of an experienced team leader, who develops the program and solves all organizational issues in the process. Large tour operators usually take you to the resort and then take you back, while on the actual vacation you are on your own. But by taking part in the original tour, you have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the new country, visit unique, non-pop locations, of which only the locals know, and return home with a lot of new impressions and knowledge.
Original tours with the Kuluar Club are an exciting mix of hiking and climbing in the mountains, recreation at sea and learning the culture, traditions, history and cuisine of the most interesting countries on several continents! If you are an experienced traveler, you do not sit in one place, and you like to explore new and unusual places, which are not described in the travel guides, then feel free to choose our original tours!
ORIGINAL TOUR PROGRAMS
Features of original tours
Experienced team leaders
The concept of original tours is built around an experienced team leader, who knows "their" region in detail and has established contacts with local residents and contractors. They personally think through and create the program of the tour and solve all the organizational issues that arise during the tour. Such a person will not only show you the most interesting places, but will also tell you many interesting stories, share their experiences and travel tips.
Rich programs
The programs of the original tours usually imply a combination of different types of recreation. In a short week program you can visit the mountains, the sea, taste the national cuisine, visit local architectural sights, festivals and holidays. This varied holiday brings a lot more experience than the daily lying on the beach or walks in crowded places. In Kuluar original tours, among other things, you will visit the most beautiful mountain locations, unknown to many people.
Well-planned routes
Routes of original tours are planned in such a way that you don't get bored even for a minute. It means new impressions are waiting for you every day. If by planning a trip by yourself you can face a problem with logistics or difficulties in communication with foreigners, in original tours everything is thought over in advance and repeatedly tested.
Small groups
One team leader, even if he has an assistant, can not guarantee the comfort and safety for many people, that is why original tours usually include small groups. This is very convenient because each member can count on proper attention. In addition, these groups usually gather people with relevant interests, so that a friendly, or even family atmosphere prevails in the team. If you do not have friends who would like to go with you into the mountains, feel free to choose the original tour: here you are sure to meet like-minded people and be able to make new interesting friends.

Original tours in Europe
We offer you 2 original; tours in Portugal. The first takes place on the island of Madeira, where you will travel about 70 km on mountain trails along the levades – the unusual irrigation canals. You will enjoy walks through laurel and eucalyptus forests, noisy waterfalls and picturesque mountain lakes. And volcanic cliffs towering above the clouds are Madeira's calling card. The second Portuguese trek runs on the mainland along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the so-called "fishermen's trail" in the Alentejo region. Participants will visit picturesque beaches, admire majestic cliffs and taste seafood and famous Portuguese wine in colorful fishing villages.
One more of our tours takes place on the Greek mainland. It is a very rich trekking trip during which you can climb to one of the peaks of the highest mountain range of the country – Mount Olympus. Also, a visit to the rock monasteries of Meteora, the Dragon Lake, the world's deepest gorge Vikos and acquaintance with the world-famous Greek culture are included in the program.
For all lovers of France, we have developed a hiking route in Provence. A very diverse and rich hiking tour is waiting for the hikers : cozy villages with traditional houses and castles, unique Verdon gorge, numerous olive groves and majestic plane trees. But perhaps the main thing you should go to Provence for is the endless lavender fields, where you can take fantastically beautiful photos. The route involves long hikes (about 20 km per day) and is of medium difficulty. You should also keep in mind that the hikes in Provence take place in summer, during the lavender blooms, which means it will be very hot.
Original trips in Asia
Today in Asia we have original tours in Turkey and Yemen.
The southern coast of Turkey has a lot of natural and man-made attractions. They are located in a large area, so it is very difficult to visit them all in one trip. Our Turkey road tour where participants will cover 1350 km in 9 days might be a solution. Do not worry about the fact that the road will take a long time: we will drive during the hot daytime, and in the morning and evening we will be able to explore the sights and swim in the sea. Majestic mountains, picturesque bays, ancient Lycian cities and incomparable Turkish cuisine will delight even experienced travellers and open you to this country in a new way.
Socotra Island, which belongs to Yemen, is considered one of the most beautiful and unusual places in the world. It is famous for its unusual flora, many representatives of which are endemics. For example, the bottle, dragon, frankincense and myrtle trees. Also, the island will amaze travelers with its landscapes: white sand dunes, rocky peaks, deep canyons and cleanest wide beaches, on which there are almost no tourists. If you want a real exoticism – join the tours to Socotra!
Tours in South America
South America is a unique place where the highest mountain peaks meet the monuments of ancient civilizations. Hiking and climbing in South America is a great opportunity to combine immersion in the local exotic culture with active recreation in the mountains, considered by many travelers as the most beautiful on the planet.
The list of our programs includes 6 original tours on the South American continent. Two of them take place in Chile. In a two-week journey from north to south, we visit 2 of the most spectacular regions of this country: Patagonia and the Atacama Desert. Both have many natural attractions, and the tour itself is of low difficulty because we will be staying overnight in hostels and will not have to carry heavy backpacks. Our second route to Chile is dedicated to a more detailed exploration of Patagonia. This is real trekking, during which we will hike a lot and spend the night in tents. The trip partially takes place through the territory of Argentina.
Three other original tours we have in Peru – the country, the most enriched with all sorts of interesting things. The first is a trekking tour in Peru, during which participants will get to one of the main attractions of the local mountains – the lost city of Machu Picchu. Also, there is the Sacred Valley, Cusco on the program, and about 100 km along the beautiful trails of the Peruvian Andes. For a complete immersion in the atmosphere and culture of the country, you can extend your journey and take part in a second tour, which takes place immediately after the first. This is a more comfortable sightseeing journey without the difficult trekking and overnight stays in nature. And finally, in Peru we have a difficult and very beautiful trekking around the Alpamayo, one of the most picturesque peaks in the world.
The sixth of the original tours in South America takes place in Colombia and involves climbing to the summit of Nevado del Tolima. It is an interesting program, where in addition to climbing the 5,000-meter peak, members can learn about the nature and culture of Colombia, and at the end of the program a rest on the paradise beaches of the Caribbean Sea in the Tayrona National Park is planned.
Note! The main team leader of our South American tours is Julia Yurasova, who has traveled through more than 30 countries. Julia is the master of sports in tourism and has a 2nd degree in mountaineering. She has climbed the highest mountain systems in the world and climbed the technically difficult peaks. Yulia is particularly fond of the countries of South America, which she has visited many times. She is the author of all presented routes and will personally advise you on preparation.
