The Orient is a world that has long fascinated travellers, from the dawning of the Silk Road to the emergence of present-day superstates.
Asia’s sights are both fabled and unknown, from the Great Wall of China to the forgotten city of Merv. Experience Buddhist imperialism in Bhutan and Myanmar – where western influence is nowhere to be seen – or the dizzying lights of famous Hong Kong cascading over New York-style skyscrapers. The depths of Vietnam’s jungles may be world-renowned, but the untouched forest of Borneo remains untraversed. While in Thailand, there’s a smile always at the ready.

Peregrine moments in Asia
Experience a tea ceremony with a Japanese geisha
Step back in time in Kyoto, a city known not only for its 2,000 temples and shrines but also its strong geisha tradition. Wander through town to the Gion district, an enchanting zone of wooden teahouses and lanterns, to enjoy a memorable tea ceremony with a 'maiko' (apprentice geisha).
Dine under the stars on a Halong Bay cruise
The limestone islands of Halong Bay are spectacular by day, but take on a whole new atmosphere when the stars come out. Settle in for an incredible candle-lit dinner on the deck of your comfortable overnight junk boat – it’s the best way to enjoy this World Heritage-listed pearl.
Explore Chitwan National Park with resident naturalists
Step inside the living room of the Bengal tiger in Nepal – Chitwan National Park. Guided by resident naturalists, explore the park’s rich biodiversity and learn about its habitat conservation program, finishing with an afternoon safari showcasing the park’s flora and fauna. Rhino's, Monkeys, sloth bears and hornbills may prove easier to spot than the elusive king of the jungle.
Explore slow life in the Cambodian countryside
Venture to a rural farming community for a stroll around the rice fields and Cambodian stilt homes. It’s a great opportunity to witness life in a typical Cambodian farming village, and to learn about the important work Husk Cambodia does in improving lives in the local community. The day concludes with a sunset drink at a scenic lookout point.
Dine with a local Indian Family
Famous as the inspiration for Rudyard Kipling’s novel Kim, Bundi today is known for its series of step-wells ('baoris'), old houses, narrow streets, and the remarkable Taragarh Fort. After dinner with a local family, retire to a tented camp that feels like stepping back in time, full of historic ambience.
Get a local perspective on the Terracotta Warriors
Visit a family restaurant near China’s famous Terracotta Warriors and hear a different side of Chinese history. Over a lunch of simple yet delicious Chinese cuisine, the owner provides firsthand insight into the local changes brought about by the excavation of this famous Chinese treasure. It’s a fascinating snapshot of both new and old China.

Vietnam Snapshot, April 2018
Liz Bishop
I want to take the time to thank you for arranging an amazing holiday. We had a wonderful time In Vietnam and would highly recommend it to family and friend, we had so much fun and fell in love with Vietnam and the beautiful people there. Our travel guild Manh Nguyen was exceptional; he was passionate and had so much knowledge about Vietnam. Manh went above and beyond nothing was too much trouble. He stayed calm in all situations and was very funny. We travelled with a great group of people and we had so much fun.

Yangzi & Beyond, April 2018
Assunta Strang
Be prepared to have your ideas changed about China. Expect fantastic food and friendly people. Be ready for squatty toilets. And you'll never forget the sights of the Great Wall, the terra cotta warriors, the colorful temples and beautiful Yangtze. Traveling by plane, bullet train, overnight sleeper train, riverboat, city bus, tour bus, metro and taxi was all fun.
