As we head out from the pretty ‘city of lakes’’ - Pokhara through charming terraced villages brimming with life, we trek for several days to go between Machhapuchare and Hiunchuli. It is these gigantic peaks that seem to stand as nature’s guards to the gateway of the shimmering glacial valley that’s home to the Annapurna Sanctuary, named so because of its geographical wonders of tranquility, beauty and the celestial presence of the Hindu goddesses, Annapurna and Gangapurna. This is a massive ice laden cirque that forms some of the uppermost mountains in the world, including the dominating South Face of Annapurna. We spend some time hereabouts exploring, as we check out the famous Annapurna Base Camp, situated at 4,130m/13,550ft.

This inspiring amphitheatre of the Annapurna Sanctuary attracts hordes of trekkers each year, who never seem to tire of the Thespian Mountains and glaciers, including Annapurna I (8,091m), one of the world's highest peaks.

The Tamur River and its tributaries drain the snows of Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. The valley itself is awe-inspiringly beautiful and unspoiled with relatively few villages and little agriculture. Its slopes are well wooded, there are beautiful white beaches for camping and plentiful wildlife to be seen.

This river is a gem in terms of the number of rapids, the amazing scenery, and its wildlife.

Big rapids, warm water, beautiful scenery and great camping make this one of the best rafting trips in the world. The Sun Koshi river rises near Tibet and flows eastward through Nepal to join the Ganges in India. It forms the watershed for most of eastern Nepal, gathering strength from tributaries draining the highest mountains in the World.

For the vast majority of the river there are no roads or towns, just the occasional picturesque village and friendly shouts of ‘Namaste’ from the bank. All along the river are beautiful, large white sandy beaches for camping, and the lower section is heavily forested with troops of monkeys and an abundance of birdlife.

This spectacular tropical paradise is the smallest of the 3 main Bay Islands, Utila is off the North Coast of Honduras in the Western Caribbean.

Koh Tao – meaning ‘Turtle Island’ – lives up to its name, being the scuba diving destination of choice for thousands of back packers travelling through Asia. The perfect white-sand beaches which ring the hilly 21 km² island are surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of the Gulf of Thailand. The vibrant coral reefs there are home to a wide range of exciting and colourful sea creatures, including, reef sharks, whale sharks and of course turtles.

A dive holiday on the island of Koh Tao can be taken as a holiday in its own right, but also ties in very well with one of the many liveaboard itineraries operating in this large and fantastically diverse region.

The compact island is 55 km to the north of Koh Samui and was only really ‘discovered’ in the early 1980s, but now supports a varied selection of accommodation, from budget guesthouses and beach bungalows all the way up to boutique luxury resorts. The choice of places to eat and party has also grown with excellent thai cuisine and pumping night life right on the beach. So far from civilisation while still being relatively easily reached, it is the idyllic tropical island paradise to learn to dive.

The island of Bali has a rich cultural heritage set against a backdrop of volcanic mountains, which rise to 3000 metres above sea level. This mountain range effectively separates the northern coast of Bali from the developed resorts of southern Bali. The Balinese themselves are renowned for their hospitality, which contributes to the islands ongoing appeal to overseas visitors.

Bali’s best dive sites are concentrated off the north and east coast of Bali. The area is relatively undeveloped and retains much of the charm that has been drawing visitors back to the island year after year. The small village of Pemuteran in the north-west affords an ideal base from which to enjoy the diving around Menjangan Island and the macro delights of Secret Bay whilst stay at Taman Selini or Matahari Beach Resort & Spa.

Diving from our three resorts, Teluk Karang Resort, Alam Anda or Siddhartha in the north and east’s Tulamben and Kubu region, you can discover the famous Liberty wreck as well as house reefs.

Bali is also an area that catches the interest of people above water as well as below, so for those who like a bit of everything, we strongly recommend you check out the Bali Island of Gods tour.
