'Hidden Dynasties - Cambodia'
6 Days - Phnom Penh
to Siem Reap - Cost from £335.00
Cambodia offers one of the
richest cultural legacies in South East Asia and
this trip combines a wonderful contrast with visits
to Phnom Penh, the capital, and the spectacular
fabled city of Angkor, the eighth wonder of the
world. Phnom Penh, once considered one of the
most beautiful cities of the Orient, has an exciting
feel with reminders of Cambodia's violent past.
You will visit the Tuol Sleng Museum, a testament
to the horrific crimes of the Khmer Rouge, before
moving on to the killing fields of Choeung Ek.
The hidden city of Angkor, the spectacular ancient
capital of the powerful Khmer Dynasty and home
to the greatest number of religious monuments
in the world, is the main attraction for visitors.
In a forest setting, its one hundred or so temples
- only rediscovered in the 19th century, and since
reclaimed from the lush tropical vegetation, are
shrouded in mystery and splendour at dawn and
sunset.

'The Splendours of India'
29 Days - Delhi to
Delhi - Cost from £1920.00
This outstanding month long
tour provides an insight into the real India,
from the cultural high spots, such as the Taj
Mahal, the pink city of Jaipur, the Holy River
Ganges and the romantic lake city of Udaipur,
to the spectacular wildlife parks and the rituals
and life of it's peoples. Along the way, you will
have the chance to visit opulent palaces, massive
hilltop fortresses and to witness the beauty of
flaming sunsets. The tour starts in Delhi, the
capital - a fascinating blend of the old and the
new. We move on to Agra and the sensational white
marble of the Taj Mahal. By contrast, the Keoladeo
bird sanctuary - home to over 3,000 species -
and a camel safari through the Thar Desert with
the romance of setting up camp under the stars,
are a must for any traveller to Rajasthan. On
the second half of our journey you sail down the
Holy River Ganges in Varanassi, one of the world's
holiest cities, where you can witness the pageant
of Indian religious rituals. Next, it's the complex
of erotically-carved temples at Khajuraho, before
you are taken off-the-beaten-track by heading
for Orchha - the hidden palace which as it's name
suggest remains largely untouched by tourists.
Another cultural highlight is the walled town
of Bundi, guarded by the imposing Taragarh Fort.
To complete the tour you will visit Ranthambore
Reserve for an exciting game drive and the never-to-be-forgotten
opportunity to spot a tiger.
