Fondest memory
Waking up in a simple lodge in an authentic village high in the Himalayas, as the sun rises over the breathtaking mountain giants. Cycling through the beautiful Vietnamese countryside, past rice fields and lush green valleys, with warm encounters along the way and fascinating glimpses into local life. Sitting on the ghats of Varanasi, watching life unfold along the Ganges and marvelling at India in all its colour as it passes before your eyes. Staying with a nomadic family in Mongolia, surrounded by the endless steppe, and experiencing just how overwhelming the silence, vastness and star-filled skies can be. Cruising leisurely along the Mekong, past dramatic karst mountains and tiny hamlets, watching Laotian life unfold both on and along the river.
