DAY 1 – April 1, 2026
Disembark the ship in Nha Trang, meet your guide and begin your exploration by visiting the Yersin Museum, Long Son Pagoda and Po Nagar Cham Towers, a sacred Hindu site dating back to the 2nd century. The towers were built between the 7th and 12th centuries and are a place of pilgrimage for Cham and Vietnamese Buddhists.
You will then walk around Dam Market before enjoying lunch at a local restaurant.
Next, you will board a small boat for a cruise up the Cai River, stopping at a mattress-making village, a community temple and an ancient house.
Afterwards, you will check into the An Lam Retreats Ninh Van Bay Resort, where you will spend the next three evenings. Located on a secluded peninsula, this luxury waterfront resort is a serene sanctuary that embodies the essence of the Vietnamese heritage and culture.
You will stay in a bay view pool villa with a panoramic view of the bay. The amenities within your villa include a private pool and a generous sun deck that invites you to enjoy the outdoors in your own paradise. Note: There are steps to reach each villa.
DAYS 2 & 3– April 2 & 3, 2026
Over the next two days, you will be free to indulge in the resort’s luxurious amenities however you please. Everything that you could possibly need is there to enjoy life at your own pace without a care in the world.
All meals are included with much of the produce coming from the on-site organic garden and local farms. The menus in the resort’s Sen Restaurant are designed around the farm-to-table concept to ensure the highest quality and freshness. You may also dine on the Sen Deck or in your villa, if you prefer.
You might also take advantage of the spa services as there are several treatment rooms and specially designed wellness programs that focus on health and fitness. For instance, the resort offers yoga on an outdoor pavilion and a meditative session along a natural stream whose setting encourages relaxation and healing.
If you wish to enjoy other outdoor areas, the infinity pool is incredibly serene, especially with the sounds of the waves gently lapping along the nearby shore. The beach at the resort is just as idyllic and the views are absolutely gorgeous.
If you are feeling adventurous and wish to explore the surrounding tropics, the resort can arrange any number of fulfilling experiences. They include hiking to a woodland stream, embarking on a sunset cruise, visiting a lobster farm and fishing from a catamaran in the sheltered waters just offshore.
How you occupy your time is completely your decision. However, it is comforting to know that whatever your choice, it will be wonderful.
Note: Spa treatments and optional excursions are at an additional cost and must be booked directly with the hotel.

The influence of Chinese, Japanese and European traders can still be seen today in the narrow, meandering streets that reveal a range of architectural styles, ranging from Chinese assembly halls to grand merchants' houses and French colonial villas.

Feel free to stop anytime to take photographs of the picturesque landscapes.

This incredible journey invites guests to reflect on the past as they experience the present opportunities and beauty of today. Begin with a visit to the sobering Tuol Sleng Museum in Phnom Penh, a sobering reminder of the brutal tragedy brought about by the temporary rule of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Regroup in the Russian Market to experience the present resilience and beauty of the local culture. Take in the traditional design of The Royal Palace and Silver Pagoda, built upon the site of the Banteay Kev, a citadel built in 1813.

Day 2 – April 6, 2026
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before setting out. This morning visit Tuol Sleng Museum, originally a local high school which was taken over in 1975 by the Khmer Rouge and converted into “Security Prison 21” (S - 21). During the three years of Khmer Rouge brutality the prison became synonymous with terror. Today the prison has reopened as a museum and offers a grim reminder of the excesses of the Khmer Rouge.
After you have had time to absorb the tragic events, a stop is made at the Russian Market. Named thanks to its popularity with visitors from the former USSR in the 1980s, the Russian Market is probably the city's best source of objects d'art and craft items. Lighten your spirits as you browse the various goods on offer, re-assured that despite the country’s dark history, the good people of Cambodia have persevered.
Your guide will lead you around the market and be on hand to explain some of the more curious items for sale, including wooden and stone carvings, various ritual objects, silverware, and old Indochinese notes and coins.
Next, travel thirty minutes outside of Phnom Penh to the somber 'Killing Fields' of the Khmer Rouge and the mass graves that tells the dark story of Cambodia’s disturbing past.
After lunch at a local restaurant, you will visit The Royal Palace. This structure was constructed earlier this century on the site of the Banteay Kev, a citadel built in 1813. Keen-eyed travelers may spot the design is strongly influenced by The Royal Palace in Bangkok.
Together with your guide, venture inside the Palace's Silver Pagoda and its surrounding compound (the only section that is open to visitors). The Silver Pagoda, also known as Wat Preah Keo, was given its name because of over 5,000 silver tiles (weighing 1kg each) that cover the floor.
Continue your exploration of Phnom Penh at the National Museum of Khmer Art and Archaeology, otherwise known as 'Musée des Beaux-Arts' or 'Musée Albert Sarraut'. This museum is considered one of the finest museums of classical Cambodian art.

After lunch, venture to the Angkor Wat Temple Complex. You will have approximately 2 hours to explore its archaeological treasures with your guide before returning to your hotel.
Your guide will point out the best spots for taking photos of this massive temple complex as you walk amidst the moss-peppered cobbled pathways, gaze up at the intricately carved tower tops and perhaps climb the steep and narrow temple steps that lead to wide courtyards. Lose yourself in contemplation as you catch the rays of the sun dancing off the bas relief carvings at sunset, the chatter of monkeys reverberating off the temple walls.
This evening dinner is on own.

This is your opportunity to reconnect with the simple life and experience hill tribe culture in the rolling hills of northern Vietnam.

•To provide closeness to nature through location and use of sustainable materials throughout the lodge;
•Environmental protection from use of materials from sustainable sources as well as using clean energy;

•Responsible tourism with a commitment to Mai Chau and its inhabitants

Walk to a suspension bridge that crosses the Cham River and continue along the waterway lined with rustic water wheels. This simple, age-old technology offers an effective way of diverting river water into bamboo aqueducts. Stop at a local fisherman’s house before setting off on a river rafting adventure. Learn how to paddle and steer while drifting down the river on the handcrafted raft and enjoy the natural scenery along the way.
After about an hour on the raft, you arrive at Tan Lap Bridge where your driver is waiting to meet you. Return to Pu Luong Retreat and savor idyllic views of mountains and rice terraces with your Vietnamese set lunch. Return to your hotel in Mai Chau in the afternoon and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

DAY 1
Disembark the ship in Ho Chi Minh City and transfer to the Tan Son Nhat Airport for a flight to Hue.
Set along the picturesque Perfume River, Hue is a captivating city that enjoyed an illustrious history as the center of power for Vietnam’s former imperial rulers. The Nguyen dynasty emperors enjoyed a 143-year reign, from 1802 until 1945, when Emperor Bao Dai conceded to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The city still maintains much of its majestic charm, where elaborate royal tombs and an imposing Imperial Citadel reveal the extravagant lifestyles of former emperors.
Visit the Imperial Citadel, the seat from which the Nguyen Dynasty ruled between 1802 and 1945. Despite sustaining extensive damage during the war, the citadel still contains over 100 buildings to explore, including the Imperial Enclosure, a citadel-within-a-citadel which contains the Forbidden Purple City, the former living quarters of the emperor.
After lunch at local restaurant, check-in to your hotel and enjoy some free time to refresh.
In the afternoon, meet your guide and Vespa driver at your hotel to begin an exciting discovery of local life in Hue, traveling on the back of a vintage Vespa. This excursion offers a remarkable combination of adventure, exploration and authentic local experience as your Vespa takes you through some of the city’s less-traveled roads.
Witness the charming scenery of Hue while enjoying local hospitality along your journey. Take advantage of the spectacular photo opportunities en route to Vong Canh Hill. Once at the top of the hill, enjoy panoramic views over the Perfume River and an area known as Royal Valley, where various members of the Nguyen Dynasty are buried. Sip a glass of champagne while contemplating the serene river landscape. If you are lucky, you may also catch views of the sunset here, if the skies are clear.
After drinking in the atmosphere, continue on your Vespa to visit the home of the Doan family or similar. The family warmly welcomes you into their home and host you for dinner while sharing stories of their family and life in Hue. This is a typical local family with three generations living together under one roof. Taking pride in their long-standing traditions, the family ensure that their customs are passed down from generation to generation.
Note: Each guest will ride on the back of a Vespa scooter while an experienced local driver. A helmet will be provided. The tour guide will follow on the back of another Vespa.
DAY 2
After breakfast, start the day with a scenic boat ride along the Perfume River, taking in the enchanting scenery along the riverbanks as you make your way to Thien Mu Pagoda. One of the oldest religious monuments in Hue, the seven-story structure is featured in many Vietnamese folk songs and is considered an icon of the city.
Next, take a short drive to the tomb of Tu Duc, the “Poet Emperor.” A lover of romance and eastern philosophies, the emperor designed his own tomb within an enchanting garden of pine trees and frangipanis overlooking a lake. Stop by an incense-making village before continuing to the tomb of Emperor Khai Dinh whose burial place reflects the European influences at play during his reign.
After lunch at a local restaurant, relax on a three-hour-and-a-half transfer to Hoi An, taking the route along the Hai Van Pass, a scenic stretch of road that offers spectacular views of the coastline.
In Danang, visit the Cham Museum which houses over 300 stone art treasures including sandstone carvings, alters, lings, garudas, ganeshas and images of Shiva, Brahma and Vishnu. Continue to the Marble Mountains, which are named after the five elements of Chinese philosophy - metal, water, wood, fire and earth.
Next, visit Non Nuoc, nicknamed China Beach, which was once a rest-and-relaxation area for U.S. soldiers during the Vietnam War before you reach to Hoi An Ancient Town.
Check in to your hotel and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant.
DAY 3
After breakfast, head out on a 6-mile leisurely bicycle ride to a small vegetable farming village on the outskirts of Hoi An to meet a local vegetable farmer who works the land and grows various crops using organic and traditional methods. You are welcomed with a refreshing drink of freshly squeezed fruits.
Then roll up your sleeves to experience a typical day on the farm. Learn about the different farming equipment and their uses. Then join the farmers in the field to prepare the land for sewing or crop cultivation and help fertilize the soil using seaweed from the nearby river. Pick some vegetables and herbs from the garden and head to the kitchen to make a local specialty using the freshly harvested ingredients. The best part, of course, is the chance to taste the local light snack that you made yourselves. Return to Hoi An town by car or van.
The afternoon is spent to explore the charms of Hoi An’s old town on foot. Stroll through winding streets and past rows of traditional houses to appreciate the grand architecture of the Old House of Tan Ky, an 18th-century merchant's house, and admire the traditional elegance of the Fukien Assembly Hall.

DAY 1 – May 5, 2026
After departing Durban Harbor, you will transfer one hour to King Shaka International Airport to check-in and board a domestic direct flight to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.
On arrival at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, you will be met and transferred to Mala Mala Camp, where you will spend the next three nights and four days.
MalaMala Camp is a haven of understated luxury combining warm comfort and superb service with unrivalled views of the Sand River and surrounding bushveld. Decorated with historical photographs, old maps and rare mementos, the camp is an unfenced oasis in the middle of the bush.
On arrival at the lodge, you will check in and meet the ranger that will be your host, guide and educator. A daily itinerary will be suggested to take advantage of the more comfortable temperature ranges and the enhanced game-viewing opportunities. The itinerary is not set in stone. You will be encouraged to discuss your preferences with your ranger. Everything possible will be done to accommodate them within the confines of the camp routine and with consideration to your safari companions that share the same ranger and vehicle.
If you are not keen on an early-morning wake-up call, a later departure can be arranged from the camp to meet up with the early-morning drive.
But be sure to make time to relax and enjoy the camp surroundings, especially prior to afternoon game drives.
Your luxury suite will feature a private deck or verandah with a view of the Sand River or a waterhole. Other amenities include an en-suite bathroom with a bath and shower, 24-hour temperature control, a mini-bar, mini-safe, a tea or coffee maker, a direct-dial telephone and a hairdryer.
Following today’s game drive, you will return to the lodge and freshen up prior to dinner. It will be served in the reed-enclosed boma under an ancient jackalberry tree. If the weather is unsuitable, a candlelit dinner will be served on the safari deck overlooking the Sand River. While seated around a log fire under the starry African sky, you will enjoy the superb food and excellent wines.
DAYS 2 & 3 – May 6 & 7, 2026
Over the next two full days at Mala Mala, you will enjoy phenomenal morning and afternoon game-viewing opportunities in open four-wheel-drive vehicles. During free time between game drives, your might join a bush walk. Alternatively, you may relax around the pool, browse the safari boutique, work out in the small gym and perhaps rest if you had an early-morning wake-up call.
For an additional fee paid directly to the lodge, you could also book a photo safari in the bush with your ranger as guide.
DAY 4 – May 8, 2026
Following one last morning game drive, you will enjoy a hearty breakfast, followed by time to gather your personal belongings and check out of the lodge. You will then transfer to Skukuza Airport for your flight to Cape Town.

One of the best-known structures in the world, Agra’s fabled Taj Mahal will awe your senses and forever capture your heart. Considered to be the finest example of Mughal architecture, the Taj Mahal is a glistening mass of white marble and semi-precious stones set amid impeccably landscaped grounds. This program includes the opportunity to visit two UNESCO world heritage sites: the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort both of which are legacies from Mughal times.

DAY 1 – April 17, 2026
After disembarking the ship in Cochin, you will proceed to the airport for your flight to Delhi. A lunch box will be served at the Cochin Airport and light refreshments will be served during the flight.
Upon arrival in Delhi, collect luggage and then proceed to your overnight hotel. Check in and enjoy dinner at the hotel before retiring for the evening.
DAY 2 – April 18, 2026
After an early breakfast, transfer with your guide to the Delhi Railway Station for a day trip to Agra city and the Taj Mahal. India’s rail network is the second largest system in the world, carrying millions daily. Sit back and enjoy what will surely become quite the memorable experience on the Gatimaan Express.
Agra, the city of Taj Mahal was one of the grand cities of South Asia. With the arrival of the Mughals in 1526 led by Babur, Agra entered a completely new era during the reign of emperors Akbar, Jehangir and Shah Jahan. Akbar made it a great center for learning, art, commerce and culture. Its cosmopolitan bazaars and its strategic location on the river Jamuna, was altogether a worthier setting for the focus of an empire.
Arriving in Agra, check-in to the ITC Mughal Hotel to freshen up before the short drive to view the Taj Mahal.
With its incredible lacy white grandeur, it is perhaps the most perfect architectural monument in the world. In memory of his wife, the great Mughal emperor Shah Jehan planned this most extravagant and incomparable monument built for love. Although amazingly graceful from any angle, it is the close-up detail, which is really astounding.
Return to your hotel for lunch before departing for a visit to Agra Fort, a World Heritage Site credited to Emperor Akbar, India’s great visionary. His sons and theirs added to this imposing structure situated by the banks of the Yamuna River. The astonishing palaces, mosques and audience halls contained within its massive walls of red sandstone became once more a monumental mission of the Mughal Empire embellished by the artistic fusion of Islamic and Hindu tradition
You will also have some time to browse shops such as Kohinoor, erstwhile jewelers to the Mughal court, featured in National Geographic. Old emerald necklaces, enamel, jewelry, silver, pocket watches in Gold and silver, textiles and embroidery form part of their private collection. The Marble Inlay factories steeped in this decorative art culture are also a specialty of Agra.
Later in the day, return to the railway station for the return journey to Delhi on the Gatimaan Express.
Transfer to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
DAY 3 – April 19, 2026
After breakfast, return to the airport for a flight to Goa. Light refreshments will be served on the flight.

After breakfast, bring good luck, happiness, and prosperity to your life with a holy water blessing performed by Buddhist monks in Siem Reap.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant.
This afternoon, visit Angkor Thom, the former capital of the great Khmer empire. Enter through the South Gate, a massive four-faced edifice which is guarded by a line of gods and demons carved from stone.
Inside the city walls, you’ll come face-to-face with the Bayon, an imposing 12th century structure commissioned by one the empire’s most revered rulers, King Jayavarman VII. Continue to Baphuon, a sanctuary dedicated to Brahmanism, and Phimeanakas Temple, a place of worship for kings. Then visit the Terrace of the Elephants, an impressive two-and-a-half-meter (eight-foot) tall wall used as a ceremonial stage, and the Terrace of the Leper King with its amazingly well-detailed bas reliefs.
Experience a wonderfully serene moment, drifting along the moat of the ancient walled city of Angkor in a traditional Khmer gondola at sunset. Board your small vessel near the South Gate of Angkor Thom, then drink in the peaceful early-evening atmosphere as the gondola begins to glide. Sip a glass of wine or two and enjoy a selection of canapés in the quiet and tranquil surroundings. If you wish, you can make a stop and walk to Prasat Chrung temple where you are rewarded with magical views at twilight. This sunset gondola experience includes one set of canapés plus free-flow local beer, red and white house wine, chilled juices, and soft drinks.
Return to your hotel for some free time and dinner at your hotel.
Day 3 – April 7, 2026
The morning begins with a visit to the ruins of Angkor Wat. Imagine centuries ago, the surrounding villages, markets and temples coming alive with the dawn of a new day.

After your visit, enjoy lunch at a restaurant along the banks of Srah Srang Baray, a vast man-made reservoir built prior to the 12th century and remodeled during the reign of Jayavarman VII. Enjoy a delicious Khmer lunch set menu. After lunch, return to your hotel for free time at leisure.

DAY 2 – April 17, 2026
Following an early-morning continental breakfast through room service, you will check out of the hotel and transfer to the airport for the IndiGo Airlines flight to Udaipur. A full breakfast will be served during the flight.
Upon landing in Udaipur, you will transfer by motor coach and boat to the Taj Lake Palace, a massive 5-star hotel that occupies an entire island in Lake Pichola. Built in 1746 with white marble, the hotel was once the summer residence of the royal dynasty of Mewar. An incredibly opulent property, it will offer a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the royals.
After time to freshen up and enjoy a snack at the palace, you will depart for the nearby City Palace, a complex overlooking the lake. Built 200 years before the Taj Lake Palace, it has been expanded and renovated over the centuries. The palace is a maze of reception halls, residential suites and internal courts, the most elaborate being the Peacock Court, whose walls are adorned with peacocks modeled in high relief and faced with colored glass mosaics. In other instances, brilliant glass mosaics depict male attendants holding flywhisks and flags.
Despite its lack of symmetry due to more than two hundred years of building additions, architectural unity at the City Palace is achieved through the repeated use of `jharokas’ and domed `chatris’ that punctuate upper parts of the walls. A gilded sun-face emblem of the Udaipur rulers is prominently displayed throughout.
In an adjacent section lies the Crystal Gallery, which is said to hold the world’s largest collection of crystal, including the world’s only crystal bed. As you meander about, you will see countless objects d’art such as dinner sets, perfume bottles, washing bowls and more furniture, all made of crystal.
In time, you will return to the Taj Lake Palace for lunch and then continue on to the Jagdish Temple in the heart of the city. Maharana Jagat Singh built this three-story Hindu temple in 1651 and dedicated it to the preserver of the universe, Lord Vishnu. The architectural style is Indo-Aryan and features magnificent carved pillars, vibrantly painted rooms and intricately decorated ceilings.
You will see a different side of Udaipur while walking through the narrow by-lanes that wind through the city. Expect to encounter artisans creating Udaipur’s acclaimed miniature art, spice markets and homes with brightly colored folk murals featuring elephants, horsemen and peacocks.
Your last adventure of the day will be a sunset cruise on Lake Pichola, which was created in the 15th century by a wealthy merchant that built a small dam there to allow his grain carts to cross over during the monsoon. You can expect to pass the City Palace, the hillside hunting gazebo of the Udaipur kings and many traditional mansions or havelis known for their lavishly painted walls.
Dinner will be served at the hotel, where you will spend the evening.
DAY 3 – April 18, 2026
Following breakfast at the hotel, you will depart for the temple complex of Eklingji, a pilgrimage site for those who come to worship the Hindu God Shiva. Eklingji is the deity of this princely state and the Maharana traditionally rules as his prime minister. The complex’s main shrine was built in the 8th century with an elaborately pillared hall featuring a four-faced Shiva image in black marble. Nearby are the even older temples of Nagda, with rock edicts and stone inscriptions.
You will then proceed to Devra and participate in a cooking demonstration after which you will dine. Devra is a colonial-style house built on top of a hillock in the lap of the Aravali hills. It overlooks the city of Udaipur and offers grand panoramic views of the surrounding area.
On the return drive, you will have the option of visiting Sadhna, a women’s handicraft enterprise established under the Mutual Benefit Trust Act, which provides employment to women from rural and tribal areas of the Rajasthan State. The name Sadhna, which translates as “a means of accomplishing something” in Sanskrit, started with 15 women and has now grown to more than 600. A wide variety of their handicrafts will be on display and for sale, reflecting the diverse cultural heritage of Rajasthan.
The remainder of the evening will be at leisure allowing you to more fully enjoy the resplendent surroundings of Taj Lake Palace. Dinner will be served at the palace.
DAY 4 – April 19, 2026

Note: this is a small group program with no more than 20 guests
Special Note: Due to the amount of walking on this program, we do not recommend it for anyone who requires use of a wheelchair, walker or cane.
Day 1 – April 4, 2026
After disembarking the ship in Laem Chabang, you will meet the guide and proceed to Ayutthaya, the former capital of Old Siam. The drive will take about two hours, so be sure to eat a hearty meal before taking off.
Strategically positioned on an island between three rivers, the city of Ayutthaya rose to prosperity shortly after being founded in 1350, when the Siamese kingdom flourished through trade between the East and West. It remained one of the world’s most cosmopolitan and commercially important cities until the Burmese destroyed Ayutthaya in the 18th century and forced the residents to move to the new capital of Bangkok.
Even so, the archaeological ruins of its monumental monasteries offer a glimpse into its past splendor and size. UNESCO deemed Ayutthaya a World Heritage site in light of these treasures, the simple grid design of its streets and the city’s extremely advanced hydraulic system of water management.
As you meander through the Ayutthaya Historical Park, you will see an abundance of religious buildings such as Wat Ratchaburana. This Buddhist temple features a magnificent central tower, known as a prang, whose priceless contents were recovered and preserved in a national museum.
Following lunch, you will visit Wat Phanan Cheoeng, a temple located at the confluence of the Chao Phraya and Pa Sak rivers. Its oversized statue of Buddha is one of the oldest and most revered such images of Buddha in Thailand. Behind the temple is a small 18th-century shrine built to honor a Chinese princess with a tragic story.
In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the Kantary Hotel for check in. After a bit of time to freshen up, you will enjoy dinner at the hotel and the remainder of the evening on your own.
DAY 2 – April 5, 2026
Following breakfast and check out from the hotel, you will spend the morning visiting a collection of temples in the countryside beyond Ayutthaya. Each has its own allure.
Wat Yai Chai Mongkon is known for its outdoor reclining Buddha and multi-tiered chedi that held sacred relics associated with Buddha. Wat Chaiwatthanaram was built in 1630 to resemble a renowned Angkor temple in Cambodia, while Wat Phu Khao Thong, whose name translates to the Temple of the Golden Mount, features a stark white chedi. It rises above a flat plain of rice fields.
After lunch at a restaurant, you will transfer back to the port at Laem Chabang and re-embark the ship.

Day 1
Disembark the ship in Colombo and meet our local representative that will accompany you to the airport. Check in for a flight to Delhi. Lunch will be arranged at the airport prior to your departure.
Upon arrival in Delhi, complete Indian immigration and customs formalities and baggage collection and then proceed to your nearby hotel dinner and overnight.
Day 2
It’s an early morning so breakfast will be via room service should you wish.
Meet your group leader in the lobby and transfer to the airport for a flight to Kathmandu.
Home to eight of the world’s 10 tallest peaks, the tiny kingdom of Nepal is ringed by the Himalayas. It is a land of contrasts, harboring a wealth of Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture. Nepal’s colorful capital city Kathmandu reflects 2,000 years of peaceful co-existence and exudes a unique blend of Hinduism and Buddhism, which is distinctly Nepalese in character.
On arrival In Kathmandu, you will be assisted with visa issuance and baggage collection.
NOTE: Please have on hand at least 1 passport sized photo for the Nepal Visa - Your tour manager will collect this from you in flight.
Nepal has eight World Heritage sites and has won two Heritage Awards, one for the city of Bhaktapur and the other for the Dwarika’s Hotel, where you will spend the evening.
Described as a “living, breathing museum, displaying Nepal’s best craftsmanship from the 13th century,” the hotel rooms and public areas at Dwarika’s Hotel reflect medieval architectural traditions. Every brick is handmade, every piece of wood original and centuries old.
After some time to freshen up at the hotel, drive to the outskirts of the city to the World Heritage city of Bhadgaon, also known as Bhaktapur.
Founded in the 9th century, Bhaktapur, also known as the City of Devotees, is revered for its medieval art and architecture. As you meander around Durbar Square, you will see the 55 Window Palace and Nyatapola temple, considered to be the finest example of Pagoda-style architecture.
Following your visit, return to Kathmandu and the Dwarika’s for a late lunch and check-in.
In the early evening, visit the great Stupa at Boudhnath, one of the largest of its kind in the world. Constructed in the 14th century, the stupa is built on an octagonal base, inset with prayer wheels. Boudhnath is also a center of the Tibetan community in Nepal, where you will visit a monastery.
Enjoy a cup of coffee or a cocktail at one of the cafes around Boudhanath then proceed to visit Pashupatinath Temple, a World Heritage site situated near Dwarika’s. Pashupatinath is one of the holiest Hindu temples and a major pilgrimage place dedicated to the god Shiva. Situated amidst a natural setting on the bank of the sacred Bagmati river, the temple built in pagoda style has a gilded roof and richly carved silver doors. Visitors may view from the east bank, as only Hindus are permitted to enter.
Return to the Dwarika’s for dinner and overnight.
Day 3
Early in the morning, you will transfer to the airport for a flight-seeing excursion (weather permitting), soaring over glacier-clad, cloud-shrouded peaks and other landscapes around Mount Everest. Afterwards, you will return to the hotel for breakfast.
Following breakfast, you will visit Patan, one of three royal cities in the valley. Commissioned by India’s great emperor Ashoka in the 3rd century, this World Heritage Site within four stupas is known as the City of Fine Arts.
The temples around the main square are impressive as is the Patan Museum, which is housed within a picturesque palace setting. In an international campaign by UNESCO for safeguarding monuments in Kathmandu Valley, the Austrian government joined hands with Nepal to restore and preserve Patan.
Newari architectural style blossomed in the form of temples, palaces, residences and squares between the 12th and 18th centuries, representing a timelessness in Nepalese architecture and its definitive characteristics, often guided by religious and socio-cultural norms.
Next, you will see Patan’s Living Goddess, who typically acknowledges greetings of devotees from the balcony of her temple residence. Known as kumaris, Nepal’s living goddesses live in seclusion and rarely speak in public.
After a private audience with the Goddess, you will stop for lunch at “The Lawn” or similar venue.
Following lunch proceed to Kathmandu’s Durbar Square located in the heart of the city. It is also known as the Hanuman Dhoka Palace Square, after the Hindu monkey god Hanuman, who acts as a protector via a huge stone impression next to the main entrance.
Kathmandu valley has three Durbar Squares, all UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This ancient seat of Nepalese royalty displays spectacular architecture, reflecting the skill of the Newari artists over several centuries. There’s a great variety of temples dedicated to different Hindu gods and goddess, mainly constructed between the 15th and 18th centuries.
Later, there’s time for individual exploration at Asan Bazar, a great local scene, before boarding trishaws for a ride through the narrow lanes of the old city to “Thamel”, Kathmandu’s hip street. Pulsating Thamel has become a world address for international trekkers, mountaineers and curio shoppers looking for a bargain.
To get a flavor of the local scene, enjoy cocktails and dinner at the famous ‘One Tree Sam’s bar’ and then head back to your hotel for the night.
Day 4
This morning a continental breakfast will be served in the hotel courtyard prior to checking out and transferring to the airport for your flight to Goa via Delhi. Breakfast will be served during the flight.
Upon arrival into Delhi, complete immigration and customs formalities and baggage collection and then check in for a connecting flight Goa. Lunch will be served during the flight.
Upon arrival into Goa, transfer to the pier and re-board the ship.

Expected Weather:
April is the summer season with the temperatures ranging from 30°C (86°F) in the day and 12°C (54°C) at night.
What to Bring:
Nepal has a range of climates, so it is best to pack so that you are prepared for adventures in alpine climates but also sub-tropical humid regions.
It is best to layer your clothes, especially when you are walking or trekking. Mornings are cool but the sharp sun¬shine will make you hot as you walk through the hills and mountains. Wearing a t-shirt and jumper over a sleeveless t-shirt, and carrying a fleece, or a wind and rain proof jack¬et will ensure you are prepared for all kinds of weather.
Comfortable shoes are a must. You should bring sunglasses, sunblock, swimsuits, a hat, and insect repellent. All of these can be purchased in Kathmandu, in the Thamel area, if anything is forgotten.
Note: Drinking bottled water is advised at all times, including when you brush your teeth.
