Off the beaten track

Our ‘Off the beaten track’ tours cover some of the lesser visited areas in Asia including regions which have only recently opened up. These itineraries do not always include the classic highlights so will appeal to return visitors or those looking to escape the well-trodden tourist trail and can be a useful reference point when planning an in-depth bespoke trip. Typically, the hotels featured in these tours are characterful properties ranging from former royal hunting lodges to homestays in remote villages promising a truly memorable experience.
