This is your gateway to the exotic lands of South Asia, from mainland China and Hong Kong to the hot spots of Sri Lanka and India and the mighty summits of the Himalaya. We will explore the neighbouring states of Pakistan and Bangladesh, take a look at the Maldives and head off the beaten track in Bhutan and Nepal.

We will visit colourful festivals and temples, luxury hotels, budget hideaways, go on a trek or two, stroll through mountains and cities, spice gardens and tea plantations and discover the fascinating cultures, fabulous scenery and cuisine of these far away lands.
