Tranquil Temples

Built in the 12th-century, the temples of Angkor in Cambodia have endured many events throughout history. The temple ruins have a way of igniting the inner archaeologist in all of us. Ride in a hot-air balloon for a bird’s eye view of the magnificent compound. For a moment of spiritual enlightenment, seek out the sacred Tiger’s Nest in Bhutan. This mystical temple rests 900m high in the cliffs of Paro Valley. Legends say that Guru Rinpoche arrived here on the back of a tigress and meditated at this monastery. Stand in awe of the majestic Borobudur, the world’s largest Buddhist temple. The murals carved along the stone corridors tell a story of the Buddha as depicted in the early Buddhism texts. Borobudur is best seen at dawn: enjoy panoramic moments at sunrise as the sun scales the surrounding volcanoes and terraced fields.

Desert Worlds

A land brimming with picturesque landscapes, experience Mars on Earth in Jordan’s Wadi Rum. Hop on a camel at sunset as you explore the red desert sands and catch a glimpse of the Bedouin’s way of life as you sit by the campfire and stargaze whilst soaking up this surreal opportunity. Dip in and float on the therapeutic waters of the Dead Sea – famed as the Earth’s lowest point. Bask under the sun in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia and watch the silver stars flicker to life under the dark fabric of the night sky. Known for its dunes, mountains and rare animals such as the snow leopard, this vast desert is also home to the largest dinosaur fossils ever discovered! For a unique experience, spend the night in a ger – a traditional nomadic Mongolian tent.
