Now 2022 is the year to travel, where should you go? Deciding where to travel is tricky, but it can be a fun and exciting aspect of planning. Reading up on each country and choosing where you want to fly gives you the ultimate sense of freedom, the options are endless! There are some basic things to consider when deciding where to travel, considering your likes and dislikes, the kind of area you naturally gravitate towards and what you want to see will help choose which country or tour is the best fit for you!
Where to travel: Activities
Do you like lounging on the beach or by a pool? soaking up the culture in beachside cafes while sipping on a rum punch, taking a stroll through the local towns and testing out the cuisine in gourmet restaurants? If so, our Philippines tour could be for you. Spend 2 weeks exploring famous beaches, lagoons and waterfalls. Take a dip in crystal clear waters and snorkel with multicolour fish before retiring to a bar on the beach and dancing the night away!

If you are more of an active go-getter and are attracted to the idea of summiting stunning mountains and filling your trip with breath-taking and rewarding views then consider our Nepal Adventures or Sri Lanka tours, where you’ll spend your days hiking, rafting, trekking and more. Embrace the beautiful landscapes these countries have to offer and visit stunning temples situated in remote hills.

Where to travel: Cities, countryside or seaside?
The majority of countries in Asia offer a bit of everything, however there are definitely more city focused tours than others! If you are drawn to the busy and chaotic streets of a city then our North India tour could be perfect for you. Visit incredible cities like Delhi, Varanasi, the pink city of Jaipur and the blue city of Jodhpur – but don’t worry it’s not all cities, mid way through you can escape to the desert for a camel safari!

If instead you prefer the quiet and serene, the trekking through rolling hills and plantations, swimming under waterfalls, or bathing elephants in rivers then our 13 day Indonesia tour may just be for you. Embracing the relaxed pace of life of Indonesia, you will hop through the Gili islands and explore Bali and Java, visiting mosques, snorkelling in the blue seas and witnessing the breathtaking scenes of Mount Bromo and the Madakaripura waterfalls.

Now if you want to strike a balance and embrace all aspects of life, the busy, the sublime, the quiet, then why not travel South East Asia for a month! You will experience cities famous for their chaotic atmosphere, like Bangkok and Ho Chi Minh, without missing out on peaceful good-for-the-soul experiences like swimming in Ha Long Bay, sleeping under the stars on Koh Rong Island, or bathing elephants in Chiang Mai. It’s the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation, making deciding where to travel an easy task!

Where to travel: Budget?
Asia is notoriously cheap to travel with a good meal often just costing £2. However, this can vary country to country. We have a range of different tours to suit different budgets and to make sure we are as inclusive as possible, however, it is good to take into consideration the cost of food and drink on our tours as that will be covered by you.
If you are travelling on a tight budget, then South East Asia, India and Nepal are good trips to consider. Food can be as cheap as £1-1.50 for a delicious meal, and accommodation is equally as cheap, with shared dorm rooms in hostels costing around £2-5 a night (on our tours you won’t have to worry about accommodation costs). This is a great option for students on a budget or if you’re trying to see the world without breaking the bank!
Places like South Korea and Japan are slightly more expensive. A good meal will cost around £8 on average in Japan (depending on where you are), and accommodation prices start at around £15-20 a night. This is why our tour prices can fluctuate depending on the countries included.
The majority of the countries we cover lie somewhere in between these two extremes, but it’s still good to take into consideration the amount of time you’re travelling for and roughly how much per day you are likely to spend.
