Welcome to Asia, the most populous, energetic and contradictory continent on earth.

Across one vast landmass you will find almost everything. Sci-fi skyscrapers in Japan, 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. You can munch deep-fried grasshoppers with white pepper in Thailand. Ride across the Mongolian tundra. Explore the rice paddy fields in Bali. Swim with Burmese sea-gypsies. You will begin to understand - this place is where ordinary goes to die.

Sleep at a yurt camp

        A yurt camp in the middle of the Kyzylkum desert in Uzbekistan might not be your typical night's accommodation, but it’s all part of the adventure. Spend the evening around a campfire, enjoy the sounds of local music and fall asleep under the stars.

Taste fragrant tea

        Surrounded by vibrant green hills, the gorgeous tea-growing area of Nuwara Eliya (just a short journey from Kandy, Sri Lanka) awaits. Here, the cultivation of fragrant, highly-regarded tea varieties is best understood with a stop at a tea factory which makes for a memorable visit.

Stay at a ryokan

        Japan-related, a night spent at a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn) is a quintessential experience. Throw on a kimono, slip off your shoes, sip on a cup of hot tea and enjoy a traditional meal while you’re at it.

India's Golden Triangle

Gregory · Traveled April 2024

I did research on internet regarding travel in India and everything was better than I expected. From booking, to a few online chat queries to meeting Intrepid staff at Delhi airport all went smoothly. Having travelled in Africa and Turkey the hotels were better than I expected. Maddy Singh or group leader did an excellent pre start briefing and put us to rest about suitable clothing, toilet facilities and how long between stops, tipping, ecological tourism, what water can be drunk, riding the Metro. etc. His local knowledge was extensive and the specialist guides were informative and amusing. Food choices were great ranging from restaurants to street food with advice on what not to eat and drink to avoid the Delhi belly. The 8 days were exhausting but I enjoyed every minute. Couldnt recomend more highly.
