Asia is a continent of astounding contrasts, where ancient traditions and cutting-edge modernity coexist harmoniously. From the serene temples of Kyoto, Japan, to the bustling streets of New Delhi, India, and the idyllic beaches of Bali, Indonesia, Asia offers an array of destinations that speak to adventurers, history enthusiasts, and relaxation seekers alike.
Experience Japan's unique balancing act of tradition and modernity.
Take a speeding bullet train away from the bright lights of Tokyo towards the countryside, where you will relax in indulgent ryokans, dine on world-class kaiseki cuisine, and enjoy private tea ceremonies in serene gardens.
Visit a family-owned workshop that specializes in Japanese drum making and try your hand at playing the taiko while you learn about its history and cultural significance.
Take a transcendent journey through the Himalayas and trek through pristine mountain-scapes to explore ancient monasteries.
Ride like a local by rickshaw to Kathmandu Durbar Square and Taleju Temple, stroll through the bazaar and old city, meet with a local astrologer, and practice meditation with an expert.
Attempt the intentionally difficult climb to Taktsang Monastery, also known as “Tiger’s Nest,” originally intended as an arduous pilgrimage for Buddhist devotees. Upon your descent, celebrate your trek with a champagne toast and a specially arranged picnic breakfast with local entertainment before trying your hand at archery, Bhutan’s national sport.
Awaken your senses with a trip to South East Asia. Experience the tantalizing aroma of street food wafting through bustling markets, the vibrant colors of tropical flora, the soothing sounds of temple bells, the feel of warm sand beneath your feet, and the exotic flavors that dance on your taste buds.
Watch the sunset as you sail through Ha Long Bay, passing the islets of Con Vit and Gia Luan, their striking karsts rising dramatically from the emerald waters. In the morning, greet the day on deck with sunrise tai chi overlooking the bay.
Take a leisurely bike ride through the lush, green, rolling hills of Northern Thailand before bargaining like a local at Chiang Mai's bustling night bazaar.
