South Asia

Trips to South Asia

From the deep calm of its ancient temples and peaceful rice paddies to the bright lights of its dynamic cities, South Asia is a region that captivates like no other.

Few countries get people dreaming quite like India. Maybe it’s the heady spiritualism of Varanasi, the majesty of the Taj Mahal at sunrise, Mumbai’s insanely delicious street food, or the bohemian beach vibe of Goa. Either way, India is raw, bewildering, and totally addictive. Expect an overwhelming blast of colour, smells, and sounds at every turn, show-stopping natural splendours, and a constant stream of attention from the friendly locals. India doesn’t do things by halves.

With glistening temples, Himalayan vistas, charming hill villages, and some of the best trekking in the world, Nepal has to be one of the ultimate destinations for adventurous travellers. Spot rhinos, crocodiles, and the elusive Bengal tiger in Chitwan National Park, drink in majestic mountain views in laid-back Pokhara, and lose yourself in Kathmandu’s marigold strewn temples.

Sri Lanka is officially irresistible. Golden beaches – tick. Superb safari – tick. Cultural treasures – tick. Whether you’re exploring the island’s rolling tea plantations, snoozing under a palm tree on the secret beaches of the south, chatting to the monks in a Buddhist monastery about the universe, or taking the most beautiful train ride in the world, it’s a destination you’ll never forget.
