India is home to age old sacred sites, vast national parks and colour washed cities, it is a destination that captivates the senses and stirs the soul. Neighbouring Nepal is no less majestic, there you can trek to the roof of the world, come face to face with the one-horned rhino or step back in time in an ancient temple. Bhutan sits just next door yet continues to be the region’s undiscovered gem, however with its mystical Himalaya crowned vistas and spectacular trekking trails, we’re sure it won’t stay secret for long. Further afield, the allure of Sri Lanka’s palm fringed beaches and rainforest clad hills seduces visitors to its shores and much like the rest of the Indian subcontinent, leaves them coming back for more. For us, it is one of the most fascinating regions in the world.
