Adventure Holiday Packages
Desert camps, white water, high passes and jungle safaris
For travellers who want a story to tell, not just a photo to post. Our adventure packages range from a desert night and camel ride in the Thar, to white-water rafting and a Himalayan trek out of Rishikesh, to the high-altitude drives of Ladakh and Spiti, to snorkelling and diving in the Maldives, Sri Lanka and the Andamans. Most can be dialled up or down — tell us how much adrenaline you actually want.
North East India
North East Explorer — Meghalaya & Assam
Shillong, the Cherrapunji waterfalls and the Nongriat root bridges, the clear Umngot river at Dawki, then a tea bungalow and a rhino safari in Kaziranga.
Malaysia
Malaysia — Kuala Lumpur & Langkawi
Two city days for the towers, temples and night markets of KL, then four on Langkawi for the cable car, mangroves and a duty-free beach resort.
Nepal
Nepal — Kathmandu, Pokhara & Chitwan
The medieval temple towns of the Kathmandu Valley, the Annapurna skyline from lakeside Pokhara, and a rhino safari in the jungle at Chitwan — Nepal's greatest hits in a week.
Bhutan
Bhutan — Paro, Thimphu & Punakha
The classic first trip through the western valleys — Thimphu's markets and giant Buddha, Punakha's riverside dzong, the Dochula Pass, and the hike up to the Tiger's Nest to finish.
Rajasthan
Jaisalmer & the Thar — Fort, Havelis & Dunes
The living golden fort, the carved havelis of a caravan-trade city, and a night under canvas in the Sam dunes with a camel ride and folk music around the fire.
Rajasthan
Jaipur & Ranthambore — Palaces & Tigers
Two mornings tracking tigers through the ruined forts and lakes of Ranthambore, framed by a couple of days in Jaipur. Easily added to a Golden Triangle trip.
Rajasthan
Shekhawati — Rajasthan's Open-Air Gallery
The quiet, offbeat corner north of Jaipur where merchant families covered whole towns in frescoes. Slow days among painted havelis, staying in a converted castle or two.
Kerala
Wayanad — Kerala's Green Plateau
The quieter, wilder north — misty coffee and spice country, prehistoric rock carvings at Edakkal, waterfalls, and a safari in the Wayanad sanctuary. A plantation stay to slow right down.
Kerala
North Kerala — Thrissur, Theyyam & the Loom
The Kerala most visitors miss — Thrissur, the state's cultural capital, the trance rituals of Theyyam near Kannur, handloom weaving co-operatives, and the long empty beach at Bekal.
North East India
Tawang & Sela Pass — The Monastery Circuit
The great road trip into Arunachal Pradesh — Bomdila and Dirang, the climb over Sela Pass, and two nights in Tawang for the monastery, the war memorials and, permits allowing, the India–China border at Bumla Pass.
Ladakh
Ladakh — Leh, Nubra & Pangong
Acclimatise among the monasteries of the Indus Valley, cross Khardung La to the Nubra dunes, and camp beside the colour-shifting water of Pangong Tso.
Vietnam
Vietnam Highlights — Hanoi to Hoi An
Hanoi's old quarter, an overnight cruise through Lan Ha Bay and three nights in lantern-lit Hoi An, with the Golden Bridge on the way.
Japan
Tokyo City Break
A focused first hit of Japan — three days across Tokyo's neighbourhoods plus one day trip of your choosing: Mount Fuji, the shrines of Nikko, or the Great Buddha at Kamakura.
Spiti Valley
Spiti Circuit — Shimla to Manali
The full loop through the cold desert — Kalpa, the Kaza monasteries and villages, a night beside Chandratal, and out over the Kunzum and Rohtang passes to Manali. Acclimatises as it climbs.
Rishikesh
Rishikesh — Yoga & the River
Sunrise yoga by the Ganga, the evening aarti, and a half-day rafting trip through the rapids. The calm and the adrenaline in one short break.
Andaman Islands
Andaman — Havelock & Neil Islands
A night in Port Blair for the Cellular Jail, then Radhanagar beach on Havelock and the quiet of Neil Island, with a first scuba dive and a glass-bottom-boat trip built in.
Georgia
Georgia — Tbilisi, Kazbegi & Kakheti
Tbilisi's old town and sulphur baths, a day up the Military Highway to the Gergeti church under Mount Kazbek, and a Kakheti wine day with a cellar lunch. Great value, big scenery.
