 Cambodia
was largely out of bounds to tourists until recently,
but now the whole of the country has become accessible.
For many travellers, lured by the prospect of
little explored and unspoilt regions, Cambodia
has become a top destination on Southeast Asia's
otherwise well-trodden tourist trail.
Most visitors to Cambodia head for the stunning
Angkor ruins, a collection of over one hundred
temples dating back to the ninth century. Once
the seat of power of the Khmer Empire, Angkor
is royal extravagance on a grand scale, its imposing
features enhanced by the dramatic setting of lush
jungle greenery and verdant fields. The complex
is acknowledged as the most exquisite example
of ancient architecture in Southeast Asia, and
has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The flat, sprawling capital of Phnom Penh is also
an alluring attraction in its own right. Wide,
sweeping boulevards, and elegant, if neglected,
French colonial-style facades lend the city a
romantic appeal.
Miles of unspoilt beaches and remote islands offer
sandy seclusion along the southern coastline.
The provinces in the northeastern corner of the
country, with their hilltribes and volcanic scenery,
are also becoming increasingly popular. |

 China
is not so much another country as it is another
world. The only foreigners it saw were visiting
merchants from far-flung shores or uncivilized
nomads from the wild steppe: peripheral, unimportant
and unreal. Apart from a few ruling elites of
Mongol and Manchu origin, who quickly became assimilated,
China did not experience a significant influx
of foreigners until the late nineteenth century,
something which still colours the experience of
today's visitors to China.
It's a land of towering mountains and epic landscapes
- background scenery to the fall of dynasties,
the rise of emperors and the turning of the revolutionary
wheel.
From the exquisite palaces of Beijing to mysterious
Tibet; from Xi'an's magnificent army of terracotta
warriors to the epic landscapes along the legendary
Silk Road; from the mighty Yangtse River to the
modern cities on the East Coast, China is simply
put irresistible.
The swiftness of transformation is visible in
every part of Chinese life; travellers who visited
China as little as ten years ago are amazed to
hear how much the country has opened up and how
many more liberal trends have emerged as a result
of a free market economy. For whatever reasons
you are attracted to China - its history, art,
culture, politics or simply its vastness - the
speed at which things are changing will ensure
that your trip is a unique one. |

 Laos
is the most enigmatic of the former French Indochinese
states, as it offers travellers an unparalleled
glimpse of traditional South-East Asian life along
the Mekong River, which runs the length of the
landlocked country. Luang Prabang, once the heart
and soul of the ancient kingdom of Lane Xang,
is Laos's most enticing destination, with a spellbinding
panoply of gilded temples and weathered shop-houses
The city has been declared a World Heritage Site
by UNESCO. The nearby Pak Ou Caves along the Mekong
River, house thousands of all styles and sizes
of Buddha images. The Plain of Jars offers an
amazing moonscape of bomb craters dotted with
very ancient funerary urns.The wild highlands
of the far north give you a chance of trekking
to nearby hilltribe villages lost in the misty
mountains. |

 Myanmar,
the country formerly known as Burma, is one of
the few truly original travel experiences remaining
in this much-travelled world. Come experience
it on one of our Myanmar tours. Decades of social
and economic isolation have preserved here many
of the traditional features, physical and cultural,
which have been lost in other Asian countries.
Much of the country's attraction is in its history
and artistic culture, as the people have preserved
traditional values, and are deeply devout in their
religion, with a close-knit family system and
respect for elders still powerfully observed.
Yangon (Rangoon), the capital is perhaps the last
remaining authentic example of an Asian tropical
city still true to its former colonial origins.
Most famous for the unique and glittering Shwedagon
Pagoda, this city features beautiful gardens and
lakes as well as impressive colonial-era buildings.
Early civilization in Myanmar dates back to the
5th century and reached its peak of power and
creativity in the 11th - 15th century. Bagan (Pagan),
is one of the richest archaeological sites in
Asia, with literally thousands of pagodas, stupas
and temples set in a vast plain beside the Ayeyarwaddy
(Irrawaddy) River. This is the type of thing you
will find on our Myanmar tours.
Mandalay is the former Royal capital of Myanmar
with many historical buildings and interesting
sights, temples and pagodas. A true highlight
of the Myanmar travel experience, vast Inle Lake
is studded with floating gardens and is renowned
for its unique leg-rowers and colourful local
markets.
Myanmar is a captivating travel destination -
for its diversity of sightseeing, for the wealth
of cultural and scenic attractions it can offer
and, above all, for the warmth and friendliness
of its charming people. See for yourself on one
of the Myanmar tours. |

The speed with which Vietnam's population of 77
million has been able to transcend the recent
past comes as a surprise to visitors who are met
with warmth and curiosity on one of our Vietnam
tours. Most visitors to Vietnam are overwhelmed
by the sublime beauty of the country's natural
setting: the Red River Delta in the north, the
Mekong Delta in the south and almost the entire
coastal strip are a patchwork of brilliant green
rice paddies tended by farmers in conical hats.
These are the type of things you will find on
our Vietnam tours.
From architecturally beautiful Hanoi to bustling
Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) visitors revel in the
sights of splendid Halong Bay, the famous Perfume
River, the beautiful Mekong Delta, stretches of
white sandy beaches at Phan Thiet, Nha Trang and
Danang, and the enticing little town of Hoi An.
The country features an incredible number of cultural
highlights, such as ancient Cham temple ruins,
ethnic minorities in the hills, the extravagant
church of Cao-Daism in Tay Ninh and the temples,
palaces and imperial mausoleums of aristocratic
Hue. Come experience these cultural highlights
on one of our Vietnam tours. |
