National Geographic Traveller (UK) Magazine Experiences Collection 2025 Special Issue

Hit new heights with the Experiences Collection by National Geographic Traveller (UK). These days, travellers are increasingly seeking experiences that have a positive impact — for example, making a difference to local communities or the environment. That’s why, in this issue, we focus on adventures with purpose, journeying to the Scottish Highlands to learn how sustainable tourism initiatives are safeguarding this wild landscape for future generations.


Elsewhere, we meet three inspiring individuals offering travellers experiences that give back, from block printing with artisans in India to soap making with Canada’s First Nation peoples. Thinking about learning to surf? Then dive in to read all about catching the waves in Weligama, Sri Lanka’s newest surfing hotspot. Alternatively, if a soft adventure is more your style, then hop in a hot air balloon and soar over Portugal’s unsung region of Alentejo, and also learn how to make honey with a local beekeeper. We also ride through mineral-coated canyons in the Mongolian desert and reveal six real-life locations where you can go to scout out your favourite TV and film scenes. All this, plus the ultimate collection of experiences, resorts and retreats to inspire you for your next trip.
