Taking in the colourful sights of the Grand Bazaar and breathing in the heady aromas of the Spice Market. Bringing high-action films to life at Troy as we see a replica of the famed wooden horse that gave the Greek warriors undercover access to the city.

Bustling through the temples, monuments and market stalls in Kathmandu’s Durbar Square. Taking in breathtaking views of the Annapurna Himalaya from the viewpoint at Sarangkot. Falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle from our lodge on the edge of Chitwan National Park.

Watching the Taj Mahal change from dusky pink to alabaster white as the sun rises over India’s iconic masterpiece. Looking out for endangered tigers amongst the vine-covered ruins and misty lakes of Rajasthan’s Ranthambore National Park. Riding the rails past jagged peaks and lush pine forests on the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train – one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world.

We love…Seeing the gentle giants at Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home.

Spending an evening taking in a Kathakali performance at a local theatre. This classic dance form hails from Kerala and involves elaborate costumes and impressive make-up.
