Far East

The Far East is a wonderful cauldron of exotic experiences that draw the traveller into strange new cultures so very alien yet alluring to our western senses. Just like its highly flavoured and exquisitely presented cuisine, The Far East is attacks the senses with a myriad of flavours, sights and smells.

Welcome to a continent where communist states lie alongside democratic republics and kingdoms, where colonial landmarks jostle for attention with skyscrapers and ancient temples.

Enter a world of mystical reverence where ancient wonders and sacred places echo to the plaintiff chants of Buddhist monks, whether they be a valley of glittering pagodas as at Bagan in Myanmar (Burma) or a solitary monastery clinging to the precipitous rock face in the Bhutan foothills of the Himalayas (Paro Taktsang).

Marvel at the technological wizardry of the ‘Tiger’ economies together with China and Japan before delving deeper to discover the exacting charms of centuries old traditions like the Japanese tea ceremonies and samurai codes of conduct.

Journey to the Far East  for fascinating glimpses into unspoilt lands and cultures and world-famous sights like The Great Wall of China, Cambodia’s Angkor Wat temple, Thailand’s floating markets and Hong Kong’s neon-lit harbour.
