We begin our journey travelling from Ukraine’s most elegant city, Lviv, where we’ll enjoy a guided walking tour of the fascinating Old Quarter. Heading south-east from Lviv we’ll make our way through the little known country of Moldova with its wealth of traditions, hospitality and history.
Travelling to the southern region of Ukraine we’ll visit exotic Odessa on the Black Sea, the region’s largest seaport. You’ll have the opportunity to experience the city’s history and heritage as well as the chance to explore the numerous cafes and restaurants.
We continue to the ancestral Tatar homeland of the Crimea at the foot of the country. It was here, on this spectacular peninsula in 1854, that the charge of the British Light Cavalry Brigade took place during the Crimean War. We spend four days exploring its diverse sunlit landscape of Black Sea coast, mountains, limestone caves, palaces, gardens and vineyards. We finish our journey in Kiev, Ukraine’s cosmopolitan and cultural capital, an ideal destination to round off this intriguing tour into Slavic culture.

The awe-inspiring Himalaya mountain range is perhaps the greatest wonder of the natural world. Staying in a variety of
accommodation from hotels to mountain lodges, this journey is your chance to experience one of the world’s most
mysterious and dramatic regions.
In the Kathmandu Valley we’ll visit ancient cities full of mysterious Hindu and Buddhist relics. From Nagarkot we’ll travel to the small hill town of Gorkha, then continue our journey to Pokhara. This idyllic spot is smaller and quieter than Kathmandu, with a beautiful lake set below the majestic Annapurna Himalaya, home to some of the highest peaks in the world. We’ll then continue to the Chitwan National Park. This is home to a bewildering variety of wildlife,
including tigers, snow leopards, one-horned rhinos, wild boar and more than 350 species of birds.
