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.
Cruise the Mekong River to discover hidden caves
See Laos’ most captivating town from a different angle on a slow boat trip down the iconic Mekong River. Experience remote village life, stop to visit the atmospheric Pak Ou caves, and enjoy lunch on board. A sunset along the Mekong is one of the essential experiences in Luang Prabang, Laos’ most captivating town.
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.
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.
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.
Learn about post-Tsunami life in Ban Talae Nok Village
Be welcomed into this small seaside village in Southern Thailand to see first-hand how residents have rebuilt their lives since this devastating event. Enjoy some lunch, pay a visit to a women’s workshop where beautiful hand-crafted soap is made, and try your hand at preparing the local grilled coconut wrapped in leaf.

Read the trip notes thoroughly so you are well prepared & dont overpack so you can relax and enjoy the local shopping. Make up your own little money converter card to slip in your pocket.

Yangzi & Beyond, April 2018
Leslie Allison
I was very happy that I chose the full tour of Splendors of China combining both Beyond Yangtze and South West China. Both trips are varied from each other and doing both trips together will give a far better understanding of the culture, people, landscape, making friends with fellow travelers and last but not least the wonderful food.
