| Bhutan: A Hiker's Paradise
Paradise, Eden. We use these words (and, every once in a while, the dreadfully shopworn Shangri-La) to describe Bhutan. We try to avoid gilding already resplendent lilies, but we’re committed to accuracy; as far as we and our many Bhutan travelers are concerned, a trip to the kingdom is a little like going to heaven without all the bother and expense of dying... 12 Days – weekly departures For more information please call 800-777-8183

India is a land of great and captivating contrasts and this Private Journey centered on Madhya Pradesh, the “Central Province,” was designed to be lavishly, charmingly contrasty. You’ll begin in Mumbai, an enigma of mud huts and skyscrapers, ancient tradition and high fashion, originator of more than 70% of India’s capital transactions, and (in its Bollywood guise) maker of twice as many films as Hollywood...

Amazing Tasmania & South Australia Separated from Australia by the Bass Strait, Tasmania long ago seceded--not politically, but geologically--from the island continent. It is a world apart, a world we’ll get nicely acquainted with on this two-week Private Departure, which includes wine tasting in the famous Barossa Valley outside of Adelaide and a visit to a wild scenic treasure almost on Sydney’s doorstep... 14 Days – daily departures For more information please call 800-777-8183

Sailing the Eternal Nile Egypt and the Nile: the two are inextricably linked. Almost 2,500 years ago, Herodotus, looking back even then on 25 centuries of recorded history, wrote, “Egypt is an acquired country, the gift of the river.” The ancient Egyptians took advantage of their bountiful gift by building a civilization almost alien in its grandeur, ennobling the Nile’s banks with stunning monuments to their overweening sense of destiny. Even before the days of Herodotus, Egypt and its lifegiving river were lodestones of the imagination... 12 Days – private charters available For more information please call 800-777-8183

Morocco is an extremely beguiling place, but many of our travelers have asked us for a shorter trip than Morocco: From Casablanca to Marrakech.
