The Tripbase Awards 2011

Nomadic Travel

This is the Tripbase award for nomadic travel, encapsulating all sorts of types of travelling holiday. Our judges have worked tirelessly to bring you this list - whittled down from many hundreds of contenders - which captures the very essence of wanderlust.

The feeling of freedom is what motivates us to go on our most daring adventures. The sensation of being able to go wherever you want has been part of the human condition for many centuries but now, with the technological developments which have taken place in recent years, we are genuinely able to live a "nomadic" lifestyle for a period of our choosing.

Of course the nomadic lifestyle far predates the internal combustion engine. And some of these blogs tell you how you can enjoy travelling under alternative power - horses, bicycles, boats or even camels - for aesthetic and environmental reasons. Many do deal with the more modern type of nomadic travelling, which tends to involve 4x4 vehicles and support teams and satellite phones.

We've chosen the following blogs for their coverage of what is actually a very complicated and specialist subject. From the history of the nomadic cultures to the best cars to hire to follow in their footsteps, these award-winning blogs have got every aspect of your adventure covered. We hope that you'll find the information you need, whether you're at home thinking about the desert or on your smartphone in the Khyber Pass.
