Adventure destination

Chad

Chad is better for desert expedition travel, plateau scenery, and remote overland routes than for mainstream mountain trekking. This works especially well for travelers who want extreme landscapes and can handle difficult logistics.

Choose a region first, then browse the mountains, routes, adventures, accommodation, activities, and planning towns within it.
