Little-visited
It was in fact my father-in-law who told me about the sensational gorges north of Mandalay, and how he had read about them in Murray's Handbook of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon (16th edition, 1949). It describes the gorges as 'defiles' and says "The second defile is one of the great spectacles of the world". It is therefore very exciting to be able to offer this cruise, in some style, to parts of Burma that only few people have the privilege to visit.

Memorable experience
An excellent trip. We had extraordinary exposure to village life and remote people. We had an excellent and memorable experience.
The itinerary, sights and even the chosen hotels were the highlights of the trip. Exploring Khiva, Bukhara and old Samarkand were really enjoyable days.
The views from South Inylchek Base Camp are truly stupendous!

Fascinating
This trip packs in great deal of historic and scenic interest both in Beijing and out in the country. The walks on the Great Wall were surprisingly varied and it was fascinating to see China transforming, seemingly before our eyes. The extension to Xi'an was also excellent - we saw so much in just two days but didn't feel rushed.

Atmospheric
This superb southern India tour takes you to some of the best places in northern Kerala, Karnataki and Tamil Nadu and Flameback Lodge must be one of the most atmospheric places I have encountered in many years of travel.

Beautiful and welcoming country
Sri Lanka is such a beautiful and welcoming country, it has such a variety of places to visit from cool tea plantations, stunning beaches, fascinating temples, mountains, a plethora of wildlife and some excellent hotels. And did I mention the food? It is almost worth going there for that alone! Having just returned from the country I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Thank you very much!
Our feeling is that the ethos of your business is remarkably genuine, and you have attracted like-minded people to help you. Thank you very much! A unique holiday and better than anyone else could offer in Sri Lanka!
The itinerary was fabulous and it really gave us a fantastic idea of life in Sri Lanka. Our guide was really enthusiastic and we could not fault his care of us for the whole trip. By including all meals, the cost was kept down and we were impressed that the trip went ahead, even with just two of us.
