Japan

Central Japan is a region of tall mountain ranges and fast-flowing rivers. It wasn’t until recently that roads reached the more remote villages, and today many remain remarkably well-preserved, and evocative of centuries past. Our journey takes us through Japanese history, from modern Tokyo, to end near Kyoto, Japan’s capital for 400 years and the repository of much of the country's cultural heritage.

The lush island of Sumatra, with its many tribes, cultures, wildlife reserves, jungles, rivers, spectacular waterfalls and crater lakes is a joy for any traveller interested in natural beauty and diverse cultures. We travel south along the rugged Bukit Barisan Mountain Range, exploring a number of fantastic sights and cultures enroute, including the Orangutan Rehabilitation Reserve (Bukit Lawang) as well as spectacular Lake Toba, where the proud Batak people call home. We cross the equator before reaching Bukittinggi, home to the Minangkabau people, one of the few remaining matrilineal societies in the world. Click here for more information!

Mongolia

Grasslands extend to a horizon of cobalt-blue skies, pastel-hued rocks color the Gobi Desert and fast-flowing rivers cut deep canyons in arid steppes in this remote Asian nation land-locked between China and Russia. The people, descendants of Genghis Khan, are an eclectic mix of rugged nomads, Buddhist monks, farmers and merchants. For the truly adventurous, Mongolia holds the promise of an exotic culture rarely visited by travelers.

Starting in Ulaanbaatar, the tour uses the capital as a hub to visit the Gobi Desert, Lake Hovsgol and central Mongolia. In the Gobi, we visit the Flaming Cliffs, a world-class dinosaur site with remains so plentiful that dinosaur eggshells can still be found on the surface. Click here for more information!
