Travel Style Grasshopper Adventures are down-to-earth, responsible, fun and adventurous journeys through Asia primarily by bicycle. We take all the hassle out of travelling in Asia but still give you the freedom to get out and experience all that Asia has to offer. With experienced tour leaders, local guides, quality accommodation, the beauty and cultural variety of Asia and a bicycle what better way is there to travel? |

| Groups | Why be lonely... Grasshopper Adventures run trips for groups of just about any size from two people up to any reasonable number. On all our joining trips there will be others joining from all over the world - surely one of the great parts of travelling with a group. Our travellers have so far ranged in age from 11 to 75 years old. |
| Accommodation | Home sweet home... One thing you can be sure of while travelling with Grasshopper Adventures is that the accommodation used will be varied. Generally we use everything from comfortable hotels with all the mod-cons to small guesthouses or lodges which maybe light on amenities but full of character or history, each day of cycling will bring you to a new home away from home. Private groups can choose the level of accommodation to suit their needs and budget but you must remember that in some of the out of the way places the level of accommodation can be quite low. Often it's all part of the adventure. On none of our tours do we charge a single supplement for those travelling alone. We will match you up with another same sex, single traveller to share a room with. In the event that you do wish to have a room to yourself, on some of our tours we have a voluntary single supplement available at an extra cost. That way no-one else has to put up with your snoring! |
| Food | A joy of life ... The food in Asia is always one of the most memorable parts of any trip. On some of our trips most meals are not included, this allows the group to either eat together or head off for individual gormet adventures. The tour leader will offer suggestions so that you can have some fun eating out by yourselves - the choice is yours. On other trips most meals are included in the trip, in particular on trips with camping. Each evening our cooks will whip up a surprising feast for you. Either way your are sure to be delighted by Asia's awesome flavours. |
| Bicycles | Your trusty travel partner ... For our bike tours on some of our trips you can bring your own bikes or rent one from us. On these trips we either need bikes throughout the entire trip or it is logistically easy for us to leave or transport them. On other trips we will provide bikes for you. Usually these trips include other sight seeing sections where it would be impossible to bring your bikes along. The bikes we supply are good quality and well maintained. More details on the bikes used can be found in the individual trip's 'facts box'. When we supply the bikes you can, if you wish, bring your own pedals and seat if you think this will be more comfortable for you. |
| Guides | Where are we ... On most of our supported touring trips you will accompanied by a Grasshopper Adventures tour leader, selected not just for their ability to ride a bike, but also for their love, passion, and experience in the countries in which we operate. During the cycling component of all these trips a local guide and a driver of our support vehicle will join the group. They will not only help us through the ride but are also sure to provide some entertainment as well. Local guides will also be used for sight seeing so that you can experience and learn from local experts. All this ensures that you will be well looked after during the trip. We do, however, consider it important that we are not 'baby-siting' you while you travel with us so that you have opportunities to experience Asia on your own terms. On our short trips a local guide will escort you on your journey. These guides are specialists in their area - you can't get any better! |
