“Travellers who visit Timor-Leste will find a fascinating country that remains relatively untouched by tourism,” said Geoff Manchester, Co-founder of Intrepid Travel. “We’re delighted to be taking travellers there to coincide with the 10 year anniversary of independence, which is sure to be a huge celebration in a year when Timor-Leste is under the glare of the world’s media spotlight.”
