Eastern Enthrallment

from japan to Mongolia, Asia is an untapped fountain of authentic travel experiences

Trying to discover the best of Asia in a single travel itinerary is a lot like trying to build Rome in a day. But we absolutely love a challenge, and we have an overflowing collection of priceless Asia travel experiences to play matchmaker with. If you’re not sure where to start, Japan has long been at the top of our list for many reasons — winter sports and hot springs in Nagano, total zen in Kyoto, city lights (and mountain views) in Tokyo, and mouthwatering ramen (with MSG-free noodles!) in Fukuoka. Our team is also very well-traveled in Mongolia, India, Bhutan and Indonesia — all filled with experiences that have yet to escape our memories. Get in touch to start crafting your own unique Asia experience.

FIND YOUR INSPIRATION:

Visit Japan’s Ise-Shima peninsula to experience a thanksgiving ceremony and share seafood lunch after pearl-diving with the famous Ama, or sea women. Soothe your body in an authentic experience at a fabulous onsen (hot spring) before hunting for treasures like Japanese Knives and antique kimonos.

Experience the expansive steppes of Mongolia as few have — by luxury yurt glamping. In this rare journey to the wilderness, journey by wild-horseback to pursue the elusive snow leopard and watch golden eagles hunt. 

Head to India to attend the colorful Dwali festival, stroll eclectic textile and food markets, try flavorful cuisine, and join thrilling game drives for elusive Bengal tigers. End your trip at an ayurvedic spa at the foothills of the Himalayas. 

Visit the Kingdom of Bhutan, where NGP (Normalized Graded Pace) is measured by how happy the citizens are. Spend a morning hiking up to the Tiger’s Nest monastery, and if you’re feeling brave, attempt a portion of your climb by muleback along sheer cliffs. Be sure to visit the Gangtey Monastery for an early-morning reading from a monk.

In Indonesia, attend an incredible shamanic ceremony at Borobodur, an iconic 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in the hills of central Jawa. The colorful food markets will reveal how Chinese, Islamic, Hindu, and Pegan traditions live together in harmony. Aboard a luxury yacht, all of your travel fantasies will come alive, especially if you’re a diver — the depths beyond the Raja Ampat or Komodo islands are calling you by name.
