Inside the latest issue of National Geographic Traveller

The June issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) is out now. The cover story this month focuses on outdoor adventures in Canada, a country that takes in glacier-topped peaks, polar tundra and sun-soaked prairies on an epic scale. The spectrum of activities is endless, from wild camping and multi-day hikes to placid paddles and road trips dotted with luxe lodges.

This issue also sees a new series, The Big Trip, which offers practical advice on tackling some of the world’s most exciting destinations. The first edition explores Silk Road routes through Central Asia, from ornate mausoleum complexes to cities packed with Soviet architecture.

In our Ask the Experts section, the experts give tips for a first-time campervan trip; where to hike along the Kent coast; what to see and do in Helsinki this summer; and how to stay safe on a trip to Southeast Asia when you have a nut allergy. Meanwhile, The Info celebrates the 50th anniversary of India’s landmark Project Tiger with facts and figures on the big cat, and Hot Topic asks whether this is the end for solo trekking in Nepal. Finally, the report looks at Scotland’s revitalised whisky tours, while photographer Ben Weller tells us how he captured Kyoto’s gritty live music scene.
