Welcome to Asia, the most populous, energetic and contradictory continent on earth. Across one vast landmass you’ll find sci-fi skyscrapers and whitewashed mountain monasteries, honking moped shoals and silent Taoist temples, neon cityscapes and saffron-clad monks bent in prayer. If you’ve come for the familiar, you’re in for a surprise. When you’re munching deep-fried grasshoppers with white pepper in Thailand, riding across the Mongolian tundra, exploring the rice paddy fields in Bali and swimming with Burmese sea-gypsies, you begin to understand: this place is where ordinary goes to die.

Circle Sri Lanka, September 2018
Marian Kee
I loved the Circle Sri Lanka tour which provided such great variety including bus and train travel from the mountains to the sea. Archaeological sites and national parks were highlights. Viewing elephants in the wild and at the Elephant Transit Station was awe inspiring. The hikes in the mountains through tea plantations and villages were enjoyable and interesting, The coastline is beautiful as are the people who mainly dress traditionally, are quietly friendly and smile a lot! 'The land like no other' is well worth visiting especially with a tour leader like Asanga who was knowlegable, caring, enthusiastic and always highly organised - and has a great sense of humour. The like minded group of 12 travellers from 4 countries made it a wonderful trip too!!

Travel with Intrepid has always been a fantastic experience...there are so many highlights and unique experiences that as an independent traveller you may easily miss, and the tour leaders always provide such good care, local knowledge and fun times! I always return with so many memorable moments and memories for life! :-)

Circle Sri Lanka, September 2018
Joann Copping
I travel with intrepid because I like the idea of getting the real life experiences of each country I have visited. Small group numbers , knowledge of the tour guide, where to eat, suggestions of other activities not included in tour. How they help the locals by using local home stays, cooking classes etc, using local accommodation.

An excellent tour with a broad range of activities and cultural experiences. It's a good idea to bring lightweight long pants and sensible shoes. Be prepared to have a great time.
