What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Mountain Overland Travels and Tours?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of bus travel.

Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

About Mountain Overland Travels and Tours

Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Mountain Overland Travels and Tours. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Mountain Overland Travels and Tours Ticket Prices & Bus Classes

One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.

Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons

Pros of bus travel.

• Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
• Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
• Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
• If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.

Cons of Bus Travel

• Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
• Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
• Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Far More Than Just A Summer Experience

Four Decades of Adventure

The Overland story is best told by our families, students, and leaders.

“Words cannot describe the intimate dynamic of an Overland trip…

something I crave every day I am not on a trip or visiting my Overland friends. At Overland, everyone is important and everything that we do is as a team. Such a supportive and collaborative environment is hard to find anywhere else. I am so grateful for the long-lasting connections that I made on my trips!”

Beyond the bounds of single summer

The sky is the limit

Families witness the growth born out of an independent experience and age-appropriate challenges.

“In sending our kids to Overland, our goal was for them to become adventurous, acquire independence, confidence and leadership.

We also wanted them to be exposed to different cultures and experiences which would stretch them beyond their comfort zone.”

Apurva and Seema

Aditi & Krisha’s Parents

More than counselors or guides

Nurture and inspire

Overland leaders are role models of the highest caliber – and love what they do.

“I believe leadership is being able to love and care for all of the team members…

I’ve learned that leadership does not only rest on the “leader.” In a team, we all can and should lead. This summer, I’ll strive to empower and encourage ownership in each and every team member over our summer adventure!”

Kentucky Adventure Tour

Updated: Aug 25, 2021

The KAT is the premier overland route in Kentucky. The Kentucky Adventure Tour is the perfect amalgamation of Appalachia with its quaint towns and villages, scenic rivers, and dense forests.

Route Overview

Adventure Rating: Baja

Trip Length: 933 miles, 7-14 days

Season: Year round, but Spring - Fall recommended.

Technical Rating: Mostly green, blue on the alternative "hard trails".

Typical Terrain: 60% gravel and dirt roads, 40% paved backroads.

Recommended Vehicle : Truck/SUV w/ 4x4 and AT tires.

Adventure Vans: Sprinter 4x4s should be able to handle the majority of the main route. There are some sections with low hanging branches that may make passage for high roof Sprinters more difficult.

Alternative Routes: Yes! See bottom of route details for info.

Route Details

The Kentucky Adventure Tour is a 900+ mile loop (not counting the hard sections) around the hills and mountains of southeastern Kentucky. It is about 40% rural narrow twisty paved roads with the rest being gravel, dirt roads and trails. The route can be run in either direction, and you may choose to start at any location you like. Most adventurers tend to do portions of the route, but we recommend doing the entire track if you want to experienced Authentic Kentucky .

KAT Segment 1 (254 mi) Segment 1 travels from the Hindman area to just outside of the small village of Livingston. Much of this section of the route travels through the Daniel Boone National Forest, which contains numerous campgrounds and side trails to explore. The Red River Gorge Geological Area is definitely worth visiting, and provides numerous swimming, fishing, and boating opportunities. KAT Segment 2 (242 mi) Segment 2 travels from the Livingston to Newcomb, and also traverses through the Daniel Boone National Forest. The route also passes through the 125,000 acre Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area . Segments 1 and 2 of the KAT both provide numerous recreational opportunities, especially those involving water (boating, swimming, fishing, etc). KAT Segment 3 (215 mi)

Segment 3 passes through a combination of forest service roads and county roads and byways. This section does pass through the Cumberland Gap area, but recreational opportunities are fewer compared to segments 1 and 2, although we definitely recommend checking out Pineville Overlook and Chain Rock.

KAT Segment 4 (222 mi) This section of the route begins in the Clintwood, VA area, and makes it's way back across the Kentucky border and concludes near Hueysville. This segment travels primarily through county roads and byways. Please be mindful of private property, as dispersed camping opportunities on this segment will be far and few between.

Alternative Routes

The route features numerous "hard trails" along the route. If you're looking for something bit more technical and challenging, then you'll want to check these out!

Camping Recommendations

Dispersed camping is permitted in various areas within Daniel Boone National Forest. We encourage adventurers to take advantage of the exquisite wild camping, where permitted.

Welcome to Nomadic Road

We curate motoring expeditions to the far ends of our planet, it’s not your usual holiday, the urge to explore takes us to the farthest reaches.

Pioneering new roads may seem like a thing of the past. With digital traveltech at our fingertips, adventures are redefined in our age to give us a sense of control. Yet there are remote lands on this earth that invite us to surrender what is “known”, to explore the uncharted, — and that’s where we come in. ‍ With Nomadic Road, you’ll embark on overland motoring expeditions to places never imagined in ways never thought possible. Every journey of ours is unscripted. Think vast expanses of driest deserts, tallest mountains, deepest canyons, largest glaciers, impenetrable jungles - where mother nature has the last word. Live a story you’ve been wanting to tell the world.

Designed for intrepid explorers just like YOU!

See it to believe it.

Our Complete Expedition Portfolio

“A travel company that intends to open up the most remote corners of the world with obsessively planned driving expeditions."

“Jaw-dropping overland journeys for guests from all around the world… allowed us to see in ways we wouldn’t have been able to otherwise.”

“It feels liberating, allowing us to feel the thrill of discovery first rather than second-hand, as you would as a passenger.”

“For a motoring expedition that goes beyond the guidebook, Nomadic Road delivers.”

Explorer's Perspective

“Going on this trip, you are allowed to take a little bit of risk, something very different, but you actually feel very comfortable all the time. Because there is always someone to help you in each type of situation. So, it’s like taking all the risk, but completely calm while taking off, which is the best.”

Katie , New York, Mongolia Expedition 2019

“There was a moment during the expedition – endless white on my right and left. That’s the moment I felt, I’m a single small point in this whole universe."

Arda , Istanbul, Lake Baikal Expedition 2022

“The worst moment was not having control over time. Madagascar’s RN5 is not a forgiving road, and a lot can happen there. So, I have taken something positive out of it. Yes, sometimes it’s good to not have control of time. It’s nice to let go and go with the flow.”

Natasha , Delhi, Madagascar Expedition 2022

You are doing things yourselves and not being told by somebody to do this or do that. It’s all about you. You are experiencing it yourselves. It’s unbelievable. It’s totally a different experience.

Deepak , Bombay, Tibet Expedition 2018.

I think one must accept that all adventure trips would have their share of problems. And many of them are unexpected. Looking for a pond in the middle of nowhere and also being warned that there could be crocodiles in it, and we are camping next to it. That was an out of sight experience.

Ashlyn , Dubai, Zambezi Meander Expedition 2021

My advice for those who wish to embark on a journey with Nomadic Road. You should be aware that it’s an experience. It’s not a holiday. It’s really something else. Consider it before you go. But go. Just do it.

Matthijs , Amsterdam, Mongolia Expedition 2022.

The nomadic road Experience

Skin in the game.

Be ready to expect the unexpected during an expedition. Taking the brunt of  a sandstorm,  hailstorm, snowstorm or even a heavy downpour is just one of the many ways you’ll come face to face with mother nature. Keep in mind that this is an expedition and not your usual holiday. You need to be mentally ready to face these challenges which constitute a holistic experience. Be rest assured, our experienced expedition team will be watching you from a distance and will always be there whenever needed.

Be rest assured, our experienced expedition team will be watching you from a distance and will always be there whenever needed.

When we say we take you to remote places, it entails hot deserts, wet jungles, tall mountains, cold glaciers, or wherever nature is at its best. You can’t script this level of reality. Our expedition programs are designed in such a way that we leave our comfort zones and head out in the back of beyond. We orchestrate eye-opening journeys, with our exclusive insights and access to some of the most uncharted places on Earth. This is as real as ‘real’ can get.

Our expeditions are designed with curious and intelligent people in mind. With us, you’ll see a destination in a different light and discover things you won’t find out about any other way. If you are someone who is open to travel in a niche group of explorers from across the globe, then our Signature Expeditions should be right up your alley. Or if you are someone who prefers to keep things to yourself or prefer to travel in your own natural group, then our Custom Expeditions should be your choice.

Operated by Intrepid Travel

Back in 1989, two guys from Melbourne, Australia by the names of Darrell and Manch set off on an adventure to the other side of the world. They travelled to Africa and without air conditioning on their modified truck, they filled it with supplies, some beer, a bunch of aviator sunglasses, and some friends. On that trip, they came up with the idea that perhaps others may be interested in this style of travel too. Just like that, Intrepid was born. Intrepid has come a long way since then, now giving over 100,000 travelers a year the opportunity to experience small group travel across all 7 continents. They use local transport, sleep in local accommodation from Cambodian stilt houses to Moroccan riads, and employ 100% local leaders. With three different travel styles including basix, original and comfort, themes ranging from cycling trips to family holidays, and itineraries crafted with the perfect balance of must-see sights and free time, Intrepid caters to every type of traveller no matter their age, budget or travel style. The company has grown but their mission remains the same: to change the way people see the world through sustainable, experience-rich travel

Trek the Cradle Mountain Overland Track

6 days | an epic trek on the overland track through tasmania’s most breathtaking scenery.

Take on the challenge of Australia’s most famous trek – the Cradle Mountain Overland track – and take in some of Tasmania’s most stunning scenery. With two expert mountain guides at your side, you’ll make your way through temperate rainforest and groves of eucalypts, across alpine moors and through valleys, skirt the edges of bright blue lakes and take in views of waterfalls and towering peaks in the distance. Camp on the edges of historic huts under star-filled skies, wake up to dramatic landscapes and take the chance to tackle side trips like summitting the island’s highest peak Mt Ossa. This active adventure with Intrepid is one of the best ways to take in an iconic trek and landscape.

Trip overview

• With everything taken care of, you’re free to make the most of the incredible scenery and views as you make your way along one of Australia’s most iconic hiking trails.
• Leave all the organisation to us – from tickets and permits to camping gear - comfortable all-season tents and cooking equipment are all provided
• Make the most of the local knowledge of two expert mountain guides along the way, and you’ll never take a wrong turn.
• Enjoy the flexibility to tackle the trek as you like – the main track for a more leisurely hike, or add on a side trip like summitting Cradle Mountain or Mt Ossa for an extra challenge.
• This trip is is a wilderness hike, best suited to experienced hikers who are comfortable with the prospect of multiple consecutive days of hiking in all conditions as it involves plenty of walking over varied terrain. Good footwear, clothing for all types of Tasmanian weather, plus perhaps walking poles are recommended. Details on physical activities and a packing list can be found in the trip notes. The total distance covered on this trip is approximately 65km.
• You will need to carry your own gear on this trek. Expect the weight of your pack to be up to around 15 kg. This includes a portion of the food for the trip, and a share of a tent which will be around 1.4 kg.
• This is a camping trip and you will be required to set up camp each night. Facilities are very basic (bush camping toilets, no showers)

Welcome to one of Australia’s greatest walks. Your adventure begins with a pickup at 7am. Make your way west from Launceston, through picturesque scenery, to start the Overland Track at Ronny Creek in Cradle Valley. Cross a small grass plain, passing Crater Creek, Crater Lake, and make your way up to Marion’s Lookout for sweeping views, from where you can see the iconic Cradle Mountain and the curved Dove Lake. The track continues past the historic Kitchen Hut, with its unusual double story design, and you’ll traverse the shoulder of Cradle Mountain surrounded by Tasmanian snow gums. Over 700 million years ago the ground beneath your feet was shaped by glaciers grinding through the landscape. Continue on to the Cradle Cirque, passing the turnoff to Barn Bluff, and descend into Waterfall Valley, where you will set up camp for the night.

• Bush camping (with limited facilities) (1 night)
• Overland Track - Ronny Creek to Waterfall Valley Trek
• Cradle Mountain National Park - Marion's Lookout

Please note that the initial welcome meeting will take place at 2pm the day BEFORE departure at the Macpac store, 22-26 Kingsway, Launceston. It is important that you bring your gear to this meeting as our team will check the suitability of your gear for the trek. Pick-up on Day 1 will be at 7am from the Macpac Store. Today’s walk from Ronny Creek to Waterfall Valley is approximately 10km (6.5 miles), which will take about 4-5 hours.

Waterfall Valley is, unsurprisingly enough, full of beautiful cascades, and you’ll pass them as the track undulates across moorlands scattered with pencil pines, myrtles and snow gums. Look out for Tasmanian Devils, echidnas and wombats – though you may see the latter’s distinctive cube shaped poop more often than the mammals themselves. For lunch you will stop by Lake Will where you'll have the opportunity for a swim, before continuing on to Lake Windermere in the afternoon. As you crest the moorland you’ll get a view across Lake Windermere, whose dark colour is caused by nutrients and oils leaking from the surrounding grass into the water. Make your way around the shore of the lake to tonight’s campsite, nestled in a scattered forest.

• Overland Track - Waterfall Valley to Lake Windermere Trek

Today’s walk from Waterfall Valley to Lake Windermere is approximately 8 km (5 miles), which will take about 3-4 hours.

You’ve worked your way up to the longest walk of the trip today. Begin with a walk through lightly timbered forest and across buttongrass moorlands to the lookout at Forth Gorge. In the distance the peaks of mounts Oakleigh, Ossa, Pelion East and West, as well as the Du Cane Range, pepper the horizon. Follow some small ascents and descents into the forest glade of Frog Flats, a wet section of forest crossed by the River Forth that’s home to some beautifully coloured mosses and fungi. Climb through forest to Pelion Plains, where the Forth Valley Track diverts off to Old Pelion Hut, which was built by copper miners at the very end of the 19th century. For the next 20 or so years, cattle drovers and trappers plied their trade here, before the area was declared a scenic reserve in 1922. Continue along the shore of Douglas Creek to New Pelion Hut, the largest of the track’s huts, which sits at the junction of the Overland and Arm River tracks. You'll set up camp nearby the hut.

• Overland Track - Lake Windermere to New Pelion Hut Trek
• Cradle Mountain National Park - Forth Gorge Lookout

Today’s walk from Lake Windermere to Pelion Plains is approximately 17 km (10.5 miles), which will take about 6-7 hours.

Begin today with a gradual climb up to Pelion Gap (1126 m). Here the track hits a crossroads with Mt Pelion to the east and towering Mt Ossa, Tasmania’s highest peak at 1617 metres, to the west. If the weather’s right, there will be the option to climb either of the peaks today. Both summits boast amazing views of the national park and beyond its boundaries, and are well worth the extra effort. From the Pelion Gap crossroads the track passes through the glaciated Pinestone Valley and on to Kia Ora Hut, which sits on a creek of the same name and is nestled below the Ducane Range and Cathedral Mountain on the opposite side. Set up camp nearby the hut.

• Overland Track - Pelion Plains to Kia Ora Creek Trek
• Overland Track - Mt Pelion Summit - Free
• Overland Track - Mt Ossa or Mt Pelion East Summit trek - Free

Today’s walk from Pelion Plains to Kia Ora Creek is approximately 9 km (5.5 miles), which will take about 4 hours. Allow an additional 3-4 hours for the optional Mt Ossa or Mt Pelion East side trip.

Leave Kia Ora Creek and make your way through myrtle beech rainforest to Du Cane Hut, built in 1910 out of King Billy Pine by a trapper as a base for his trade. Further down the track you will take a side trip to see the falls of D’Alton, Fergusson and Hartnett, which tumble into the Mersey River in spectacular fashion, especially after recent rainfall. Back on the main track, the path climbs steadily to Du Cane Gap (1070 m), where Mt Geryon and the Acropolis (1471 m) of the Du Cane Range are the peaks that dominate the views. From here the track descends through eucalypt forest to Windy Ridge Hut, the newest hut on the track. After setting up camp nearby it's your spot to share stories on the final night of the trip.

• Overland Track - Kia Ora Creek to Windy Ridge Trek

Today’s walk from Kia Ora Creek to Windy Ridge is approximately 10 km (6 miles), which will take about 5 hours

Welcome to the final day of your Overland Track adventure. Leaving Windy Ridge camp, descend with the track down the valley of temperate rainforest and eucalypt forest to the Narcissus River. Pass the path which splits off to take walkers to the base of the Du Cane Range and Pine Valley Hut, the base for access to the Acropolis and the Labyrinth. Follow the track down to a suspension bridge over the Narcissus River and the end is in sight – Lake St Clair and the finish of the Overland Track. Give yourself a huge pat on the back and your legs a rest with a ferry ride across the lake to Cynthia Bay. Jump back in the van for the ride back to Launceston, where your trip comes to an end, arriving around 4:30 pm this afternoon.

• Overland Track - Windy Ridge to Lake St Clair Trek
• Cradle Mountain National Park - Lake St Clair Ferry Ride

Today’s walk from Windy Ridge to Lake St Clair is approximately 10 km (6 miles), which will take about 4 hours. Your trip finishes upon arrival back in Launceston at around 4:30pm this evening. Please take this into consideration when booking onward travel.

Best Tour Guide Ever

I put together list of 7 places I wanted to see in Turkey and then Tolga from Overland Travels turned my list into a real itinerary. He arranged a driver, a very comfortable touring van, hotels, a domestic flight, meals and tours of all sites. One site was closed for COVID and Tolga called the manager of the site and arranged a personalized tour. My weeklong trip could not have been better. Tolga spoke perfect English and knew the history of every site from beginning to present. We covered Hattusa, Divrigi, Diyarbakir, Mt. Nemrut, Gobekli Tepi, Xanthos, Letoon, Patara and even spent time in Ankara and Fethiye. He even added an extra UNESCO site to my itinerary at no extra cost because her knew I would be interested. We toured, ate and talked history for one of the best weeks of my life.

I've actually traveled with Overland Travel Trekking's guide on two separate occasions covering many sites in both western and eastern Turkey. Each day is well planned and the guide will adjust the tour to suit the needs and abilities of the group, so each trip will be very personalized. The guide is keenly interested in history and archaeology, which fits Turkey perfectly. And you'll gain insights into the cultural aspects of the region as well, which includes local customs, cuisine, music, etc. The prices for the various tours are very reasonable, especially considering the individualized experiences you'll receive.
