Holiday News and Offers

Bhutan is back open after two long years, and Ian and Lizzy were amongst our first clients to return. They were doing the Druk Path Trek and here’s what they had to say about their time in Bhutan.

"Amazing scenery and sights with the most hospitable people you’re ever likely to meet. Our guide was superb and all the camp crew were great. The Druk Path trek may be a short trek but the altitude makes it more challenging as most of it is over 3500m, we were well looked after and the food was amazing in camp."

Our latest enews celebrates the full return of three of our most enchanting destinations - Bhutan, Japan and Canada, highlighting what makes each of them such a dream to visit. There's also news on how to enter our free prize draw with the chance to win £500.

We are delighted to have launched a brand new trekking holiday which features the best sections of the Trans Bhutan Trail in the west of Bhutan, together with the key cultural sights of the Thunder Dragon Kingdom.

The Trans Bhutan Trail has been created over the last four years re-establishing a centuries old footpath that was once the only highway linking the villages, fortresses and sacred sites of Bhutan. Having fallen into disuse with the emergence of a modern highway, the Bhutan Canada Foundation, working together with the Bhutanese people, have rebuilt bridges, cleared paths and built thousands of steps, resulting in the 250 miles long Trans Bhutan Trail.

We've carefully selected the sections of the trail in the more accessible west of the country that avoid the steepest most challenging climbs yet still offer good walking through traditional, scenic landscapes with lots of cultural interest. Accommodation is a mix of hotels and camping and there's even a festival included on our autumn departure.

See Trans Bhutan Trail - Western Highlights for full trip information including dates, prices and a detailed itinerary.

We’ve added an extra departure of our very popular Silk Road to Samarkand tour this April. With limited availability on many of our other departure dates this year, we wanted to give as many of you as possible the chance to experience this fabulous 15-day tour. It spends time in the ancient Silk Road cities of Khiva, Bukhara and Samarkand famed for their magnificent architecture and rich cultural heritage.

For all dates, prices and detailed itinerary visit our Silk Road to Samarkand tour.
