Do you want to see more in 2026 than just sun and sand? It’s time to unfurl the big world map. 2026 is all about authentic experiences, breathtaking nature, and intense encounters — with other gay men who think the same way you do. Kerle.reisen is once again offering brand-new gay group trips that tap into this trend: away from the mainstream, toward experiences that connect, inspire, and leave a lasting impact.
Wanderlust with depth — Asia reimagined
An absolute highlight among the new destinations is Bhutan. Few places embody mindfulness, spirituality, and sustainable travel as deeply. Instead of mass tourism, you’ll encounter a world of Buddhist monasteries, spectacular mountain scenery, and a culture that values happiness over growth. Hiking to remote dzongs, conversations with monks, and quiet moments in the Himalayas make this journey an experience that goes far beyond a traditional vacation. More information
Indochina is also among the most exciting trend destinations for 2026 — especially for men who want to experience Southeast Asia in depth. Laos and Cambodia open spaces for slowing down and marveling: the Mekong, spiritual rituals in Luang Prabang, and the monumental temples of Angkor. Immediately afterward, Vietnam can seamlessly follow — from the mystical Ha Long Bay to UNESCO-listed cities like Hoi An and the vibrant metropolises Hanoi and Saigon. Together, this becomes a large, interconnected journey through one of the most fascinating regions in the world. More information
China also stands for grand scales — culturally as well as geographically. Millennia-old history, spiritual sites, and modern megacities blend here into a trip full of contrasts. Between the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the pulsating urban life, you’ll encounter a country that challenges, surprises, and leaves a lasting impression. More information
Wide horizons & grand landscapes — Adventure travel for explorers
For 2026, a clear trend is emerging: experiencing nature rather than just visiting it. Few countries embody this so vividly as Chile. From the Atacama Desert through the Andes to glaciers and fjords in the south, this journey is a constant shift in perspective. The vastness, the stillness, and the raw beauty of the landscape create a sense of freedom that lingers. More information
Italy’s Tuscany also has its own irresistible appeal: rolling hills, cypress-lined avenues, historic towns, and Mediterranean cuisine blend into a feast for the senses. Whether leisurely wanders through vineyards, exploring Siena or Florence, or savoring regional specialties — Tuscany offers intense moments at the intersection of culture, nature, and la dolce vita.

Active & outdoors — Hiking as a new form of luxury
Active travel continues to gain momentum in 2026. Hiking here isn’t about pushing for performance, but about cultivating awareness of landscape, body, and community — and that’s exactly what more and more men are seeking on their trips. Destinations that are quick and easy to reach by train are particularly popular: in the Ammergau Alps, the Zillertal, South Tyrol, or the Harz, you’ll find alpine panoramas, crisp mountain air, cozy hut moments, and striking rock formations. Whether short day hikes or longer treks through dense forests, these destinations blend nature immersion with comfort — perfect for a spontaneous active vacation with minimal travel. More information
At the same time, Mediterranean hiking routes remain highly popular. In Andalusia or Dalmatia, you can enjoy sun, coastline, and pristine landscapes early in the year — ideal for extending summer or getting a head start on it. The trails wind through canyons, olive groves, whitewashed villages, and along the coast, always with the Mediterranean lifestyle in the background. Here, activity meets indulgence, nature meets culture, and relaxation meets community — a perfect blend for anyone seeking a hiking vacation with heart and flair. More information
Freedom on the water — new sailing adventures with catamarans
Sailing remains one of the most intense ways to travel in 2026 as well. Living aboard together, discovering new coves each day, and feeling the rhythm of the sea — that’s how you build closeness and slow time down. At the same time, the trend among men is increasingly toward greater comfort: the new sailing trips are predominantly on catamarans, offering spacious cabins, stable platforms, and plenty of deck space. New trend destinations are the Ionian Islands with their clear waters and relaxed island vibe, and the Lipari Islands, where volcanic landscapes, Italian Dolce Vita, and comfortable sailing adventures come together perfectly.

Active relaxation — Fitness & Well-being
Another trend: trips that strengthen body and mind alike. Active and wellness trips, for example in Mallorca, combine movement, healthy eating, relaxation, and sun. No performance pressure, no comparisons — but consciously carving out time for yourself, within an open and motivating group. More information
What makes these gay-trend trips special
All of Kerle.reisen’s new trips follow a common principle: intense rather than superficial, personal rather than anonymous. Travel is in small groups, with single rooms, experienced guides, and carefully selected routes. It’s about encounters, conversations, shared awe — and memories that endure.
