In its broadest sense, overland travel means travelling without flying. But this would perhaps imply that every short road trip is overlanding, which isn’t quite correct.

In fact, overland travel has an association with a longer, slower journey, with the traveller often not having a timetable and happily going alone while taking in the surroundings at a snail’s pace, or upon transport availability.

In this article, we will try to delineate the various types of overland travel while also identifying some notable overlanders who have caught our attention. Read The Beginner’s Guide to Overland Travel here.

Join our Tour to Nepal

We are excited to announce a captivating 12-day tour through the heart of Nepal (with an optional 4-day extension) from March 27 to April 7(11), 2025.

This journey offers a unique opportunity to delve into Nepal’s spiritual and cultural heritage, explore stunning landscapes, and connect with local communities by staying with host families or visiting a local school.

During the trip, we will visit two NomadMania regions and two DARE places. This is also a rare chance to experience the authentic and profound essence of Nepal, immersing yourself in both its spiritual depth and vibrant local culture.
