5. India’s Golden Triangle

One of the most exciting destinations in the world, India is an attack on the senses in the best way possible with the colors of the women’s saris, the incense burning in the temples, and the delicious cuisine everywhere you try. The perfect place to start is the Golden Triangle, which combines exploring the capital Delhi’s old streets and markets before heading to Agra, the city that is home to the most famous building in the world, the Taj Mahal, before entering the historic state of Rajasthan and the pink city of Jaipur, a gem within itself thanks to the Amber Fort and Palace of the Winds.

Our Travel Experts can include the Golden Triangle in your tailormade India Holiday, as well as so much more; lazy Kerala in the south, Goa’s golden beaches, or more of enigmatic Rajasthan on a bespoke tour around the country.

6. Galápagos Islands Cruise

Follow in Charles Darwin’s footsteps with a multi-island cruise around the unique archipelago of the Galápagos Islands, in Ecuador. Impossible elsewhere experiences like snorkeling with inquisitive sea lions and marine iguanas, hiking over volcanic peaks in search of giant land tortoises and blue-footed boobies really do make the Galápagos Islands a once-in-a-lifetime, dream holiday destination.

7. Japan Self-Guided Rail Tour

Arguably the most alien culture to our own in the west, Japan really does feel like traveling to a different world. A dream destination for many, Japan is such a wonderful juxtaposition of old-world traditions meeting futuristic modernity, which combined with its stunning scenery offers something for everyone. Japan’s efficient high-speed bullet train network, is undoubtedly the best way to explore the country and visit its diverse cities.

Take a look at our Japan Holidays pages for example itineraries, which can be customized to your liking by speaking to one of our experts.

8. Australia

More continent than a country, Australia’s immense scale and diversity of landscapes mean that you could go 5 years in a row and enjoy a different style of holiday each time, or get a mix of everything in one trip. The population is spread around the edge of the enormous country, hugging the coast which explains why beach culture is such an important part of Aussie life. Some of the world’s most liveable cities such as Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne will be your entry point to an unforgettable holiday and warrant a few days’ stays in their own right but don’t forget about Oz’s iconic Red Centre and the majestic Uluru.

Such a vast country can offer a multitude of routes and itineraries, you can’t see it all in one trip! But our Australia Holidays pages should help narrow your choice down.

9. Machu Picchu, Peru

Step back in time centuries to the era of the ancient Inca civilization, and if you want to, step back along the traditional Inca Trail to their royal retreat up in the Andes mountains, Machu Picchu. Truly an unforgettable sight, Machu Picchu doesn’t disappoint and it’s easy to see why this is on many dream holiday lists. Hikers are rewarded after the four-day hiking/three-night camping experience by reaching the sun gate where you’ll get your first glimpse of the photogenic Inca citadel. We can also arrange a one-day Inca Trail which joins the final day of the original route but if you don’t feel like walking at all, the large picture windows of the Vistadome or Hiram Bingham trains will do the leg work for you from Cuzco to Machu Picchu.

Peru offers so much more than just Machu Picchu; take a look at our Peru Holidays pages for inspiration and call us if you need advice.

10. Antarctica

This one is only for the intrepid, adventurous traveler who is serious about their dream holiday experiences! Antarctica is another world that only the privileged few are lucky enough to explore, following in the footsteps of some of the world’s greatest explorers. For somewhere so stark, it offers a surprising amount of wildlife opportunities from whale spotting, to leopard seals and of course penguins.
