Holiday Types
Asia: home to tranquil palm-shaded islands, hyper cities of the Far East, sleepy villages of the Subcontinent, souring snow-capped mountain ranges, and everything in between. This wonderful region provides so many opportunities for life-changing experiences.
Religion and spirituality are woven into the fabrics of every country, from peaceful Tibetan monasteries to clanging Hindu temples, and sacred monuments dot the landscapes: Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Borobudur in Indonesia, The Great Wall of China, Sigiriya Rock in Sri Lanka, Bagan in Burma, Tiger's Nest Monastery in Bhutan and, of course, the Taj Mahal in India.
The variety of Asia’s landscape is characterised by an exotic and untamed nature – the huge rushing of the mighty Mekong, the soaring heights of the Himalayan mountain range and dense tropical jungles brimming with exceptional flora and fauna.
Whether you're looking for epic cultural discoveries, the honeymoon of a lifetime, a fun family escape or have a specific interest in food, surfing, wildlife, history or architecture, our specialists can introduce you to the best experiences this encapsulating region has to offer.
