We will be holding a slide show on Thursday the 3rd of May and will be talking about travel in Central Asia and the “Silk Road” from north to south and from east to west. All are welcome, but space is limited so please drop us a line to confirm if you will be attending. Listed below are a few of the trips we will be covering…. Okay guys, here's a trip that will really blow your socks off!After
last years success we are delighted to be running this exciting
adventure again that will see you buzzing in a helicopter one minute
and glacier trekking the next; white-water rafting in the morning
and riding horses in the afternoon. Taking place in some of the
most stunning mountain landscapes on earth, this itinerary is just
perfect for anyone with an interest in the greater world but would
like some activity as well. This totally unique itinerary takes you on a wonderful journey
along the southern branch of the Old Silk Road. Starting in Kashgar
where you will witness the famous Yakshmbe Bazaar – otherwise
known as the Sunday Market – you will continue through the
stunning mountains of northern Pakistan to the tranquil foothills
of the Indian Himalayas. On a journey that traders, warriors, poets
and pilgrims have been taking for millennia you will drive the famous
Karakoram Highway – the eighth wonder of the world –
through Hunza and the beautiful Fairy Meadows and on to Lahore.
From here you will cross the border to the Sikh’s holy city
of Amritsar, visit the Golden Temple and then head to Dharamsala
to relax in the mellow forest clad mountains that the Tibetan refugees
have come to call home. All in all this is a pretty amazing adventure
with some fascinating culture to boot. Sandwiched between the western Himalayas and the vast Tibetan Plateau,
Ladakh is the highest, least populated and most inaccessible region
of India. It is also among the most fascinating and beautiful. In
our Ladakh Festival Tour we feel we have created a cracking itinerary
and this autumn we will be running it for the fourth successive
year. Incorporating a colourful festival and an exciting trek, this
epic journey from the subcontinent’s busy plains through the
forested foothills of the Himalayas and on to the Tibetan plateau,
we believe it to be one of the best holidays we have to offer. Spending ten days in the mountains of Kyrgyzstan, staying in yurts
with a wonderful eagle hunter musician and his family, the nomads
of Son Kul and the shepherds of Tash Rabat – all of whom are
great friends of ours – this is a trip that will really introduce
you to the ways of mountain life on the Old Silk Road. In addition
to this you can walk over a high mountain pass (or take the jeep
that goes round), ride horses and camp beneath the stars. And that’s
only in Kyrgyzstan. From here you will fly to see the fabled cities
of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva. For those of you that like to really
get beneath a regions surface, rather than simply travel through
it, this is the trip for you.
Northern Pakistan is one of the most fascinating, beautiful and
hospitable places you are ever likely to visit. From the bustling
bazaar of old Peshawar, to the history of the Khyber Pass, the extraordinary
pagan tribes of the Hindu Kush and the sheer, unimaginable beauty
of Hunza and the Karakorum Mountains, it is a land that is sure
to surprise and amaze you. So this Spring why not take a trip back
in time with Jonny Bealby on the epic tour that this year has the
added advantage of taking in the Kalash Spring Festival For those with a spirit of adventure, the attractions of Morocco
are found in its wonderful mountains and its bustling bazaars –
and this trip combines them both. Trekking in the High Atlas is
not to be passed up as the experience of wandering through isolated
Berber villages and up onto highland peaks will reward visitors
with some of the most spectacular scenery and views in Africa. In
addition, no traveller should miss the opportunity to visit Morocco's
great old city of Marrakech, which, with the labyrinthine streets
and passages of the centuries-old Medinas, offer endless possibilities
for local interaction, exploration… and shopping! One of our recent guests said about this trip, ‘For the first
time in years, an hour feels like an hour, not the five minutes
I normally get.’ India in Slow Motion is just that…
a trip that will slow you down the gentle rhythms of nature, to
the clock of the day, to the cycle of the farmer. Travelling a total
distance of only 500kms, in open-topped vintage jeeps, this is a
trip all about catching the subtle nuances of life: watching the
girl pull water from the well; assisting a Gujjur milk his cow;
learning how a buffalo helps to irrigates the land; playing a game
of marbles with a group of children. It is also a trip into a world
well away from the tourist trails, to a land beyond guidebooks and
in places even maps. It is a journey to see and experience the soul
of this magnificent country, to learn about the caste system, the
agricultural way of life, the ancient crafts, the religious! routines.
It short it is a journey into the heart of India to witness a life
that has remained almost unchanged for hundreds of years. Only made
possible through our friendships in the region as we escort you
from one family to the next, this is a unique trip the like of which
you will find nowhere else. and earlier.... Moroccan Easter Chill-Out - 4 April to 11 April Having spent a night in the colourful town of Marrakech,
we will drive through the High Atlas Mountains, along 'The Valley
of a Thousand Kasbahs', to the picturesque town of Ouirgane. Staying
for five days at the lovely La Roseraie, will provide a perfect
place from which to explore the region. Yoga sessions suitable for
both beginners and intermediate students will be available to all
as will horse and cycle rides, walks, cooking lessons and local
excursions. And for those who just want to chill there is a large
swimming pool, comfortable en suite bedrooms and great food.
