Venture off the beaten track on this 10-day trip through northern Thailand, covering several of the country’s most incredible, lesser-known destinations. Scramble up the Bua Tong Sticky Waterfall, swim in the idyllic Pam Bok waterfall and soak in the therapeutic waters of the Sai Ngam Hot Springs. You’ll also trek through the jungle in the hills of Mae Hong Son, climb Doi Inthanon – Thailand’s highest mountain – for spectacular sunrise views, and have a chance to feed elephants at a respected sanctuary. Your trip starts and ends in Chiang Mai, where you’ll be able to gorge on delicious street food and admire the city’s vibrant street art scene.
Did you know that Sri Lanka has one of the highest population densities of leopards in the world? You’ll have a chance to spot these extraordinary creatures in the Yala National Park on this 12-day adventure, along with elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and plenty more. Cascade down class II and class III rapids on a whitewater rafting adventure in the Kelani River while taking in the wild jungle scenery, and if you’re feeling brave, abseil down the 105m (344ft) Sandun Ella waterfall. A 4×4 game drive in the Minneriya National Park, meanwhile, offers another tantalising chance to observe elephants roaming in the wilderness.
Although most commonly associated with the Himalayas, Nepal also boasts some of the most biodiverse jungles in Asia. After exploring the cities of Kathmandu and Pokhara, visiting the hilltop villages of Nuwakot and Sarangkot, and whitewater rafting down the Seti River, this 11-day trip takes you to Chitwan National Park. Here, you’ll stay at a luxury lodge and embark on a safari drive with an experienced naturalist, with a chance to spot Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinos, Indian leopards, sloth bears and bison in the dense jungle and grassy plains.
If you’re looking for a jungle adventure with plenty of culture and relaxation, this 12-day Bali trip is just the ticket.

Arguably the highlight of the trip, along with snorkelling around the Gili Islands, is a sunrise hike to the summit of Mount Batur – a 1,717m-high (5,633ft) active volcano, which provides the perfect vantage point for mesmerising panoramas of the island.
Explore the scenic shola forest of the Cardamom Hills on our nine-day adventure to Kerala in India.

After all that hiking, it’ll be a relief to kick back in Kumarakom, where you’ll cruise the serene backwaters and enjoy a few pamper sessions at the hotel’s Ayurvedic spa.
