India
A Kaleidoscope of Festivals and History

In the vibrant land of India, traditions run deep and festivals light up the sky. Udaipur in Rajasthan dazzles with the colourful Mewar Festival while Assam’s Bihu festival in the east captivates visitors with its rhythmic Bihu dance. Further down south, Kerala is adorned with intricate floral arrangements (Vishu Kani) as they welcome the harvest season with Vishu.

But India’s allure extends beyond its festivals. Its iconic landmarks narrate tales of bygone eras and architectural brilliance, such as the Golden Temple in Amritsar, a sacred Sikh shrine that mesmerises with its golden façade and serene lake.

Venturing back to Rajasthan, the Pink City of Jaipur is home to the majestic Amber and Jaigarh forts as well as the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds), famed for its lattice windows and honeycomb façade. In Delhi, the Red Fort stands as a testament to India’s Mughal heritage with the grandeur of old emperors.

Walk Into Ancient Heritage

Our next destination transports us to the enchanting realm of Thailand. At the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ayutthaya Historical Park, temple ruins like Wat Mahathat, known for its iconic Buddha head entwined in tree roots, the grand stupas of Wat Phra Si Sanphet and the Khmer-style architecture of Wat Chaiwatthanaram offer glimpses of a once-majestic kingdom.

Venture into Bangkok for Wat Pho, home to the Reclining Buddha, and Wat Arun, which offers stunning view of spires and the Chao Phraya River. Then venture to Chiang Mai’s Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, perched atop a mountain offering panoramic views of the city below.

Immersing yourself in Thai culture goes beyond temple visits, extending to traditional performances and artistic expressions. Attend a Khon (masked dance drama) performance, bringing ancient stories to life, and experience the thrill of Muay Thai (Thai boxing) matches, a sport deeply rooted in Thai history and culture.

Our final destination leads to the majestic landscapes and sanctuaries of Nepal. The season is ideal for trekking enthusiasts to embark on trails like the Annapurna Circuit or Langtang Valley, where snow-capped peaks, lush valleys, and welcoming tea houses create a trekking paradise. In Langtang, travelers also get to interact with Tamang and Sherpa communities, discover ancient monasteries, and witness traditional mountain life.

In Kathmandu, a UNESCO World Heritage City, Swayambhunath offers panoramic views of the valley with its iconic stupa and resident monkeys. At Pashupatinath, Nepal’s holiest Hindu temple, witness ancient rituals, including cremation ceremonies along the banks of the Bagmati River.

For those on a spiritual quest, Lumbini beckons. Another UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Maya Devi Temple marks the exact birthplace of Lord Buddha. Pilgrims from around the world visit to pay homage, meditate under the Bodhi tree, and soak in the peaceful ambiance of Buddhist monasteries.
