For history and culture you explore Kathmandu: the narrow streets, temples, stupas and pagodas of the city and the surrounding valley have an almost mediaeval atmosphere. For magnificent mountain views you visit the township of Tansen that bears a rich legacy of the traditional art and architecture.

Laos, often described as "laid back" and "forgotten," is anything but forgettable. This landlocked country has emerged in recent years as a destination for travellers looking for a long-lost Southeast Asia, and they find it in Laos' lush forests, buzzing day and night markets, rice fields, regal wats and French colonial traces.
Beyond Luang Prabang, the national capital Vientiane is home to the country's grandest temples, including the iconic golden That Luang stupa. But perhaps the best way to soak up Laos' culture, history and hospitality is by slowly cruising the Mekong River, which winds through the country.
You can choose which places you’d like to visit and roughly how many days in each; we'll advise you where to stay and how to travel between them, book tour guides and hotels. And wey'll suggest a few gems you hadn't thought of: trying your hand at rice planting and traditional fishing in a rustic village, cycling down the Mekong into Cambodia, or taking a slow boat in search of the Irraway dolphin.

Dramatic Myanmar
is an intrepid traveller's dream. This is a land where monks clad in traditional longyi are revered, thousands of religious stupas rise out of flat plains and floating-village life ebbs and flows upon Inle Lake. For a glimpse of old Southeast Asia, there isn't a more eye-opening destination than this mysterious country, which only began allowing Western travellers into its borders in recent years. Yangon, the country's largest city, is a beguiling mix of British, Burmese, Chinese and Indian influences, from its timeworn colonial architecture to its unique cuisine. In this deeply Buddhist country, pagodas pockmark the land, and some of the most impressive ones can be found in Yangon, including the Shwedagon Pagoda and the Sule Pagoda. Travel to Mandalay, and explore sites such as the monastery-studded Mandalay Hill, a pilgrimage site for Buddhists for nearly two centuries. Perhaps the best way to experience both the romance of the colonial era and see the Burmese people's day-to-day realities is by cruising on the Irrawaddy River — aboard new 'Sanctuary Ananda' — all the way to Bagan, disembarking at temples and viewing life along the river.
If Yangon and Mandalay are Myanmar's capitals of culture and commerce, then Bagan is the country's spiritual center. Over 2,000 pagodas, stupas and temples dot the golden plains of Bagan — a once-in-a-lifetime sight to behold, best seen from above by private hot air balloon, which can be arranged by A&K. Other highlights include the Ananda Temple, the best-preserved in the region, and Mount Popa, a stunning volcano that doubles as a Buddhist pilgrimage site.
Our privately escorted tours in Myanmar are perfect to discover the Golden Land.

Vietnam
is hugely rewarding country to visit for the inquisitive tourist. City, beach, mountain, sea, river, temple and countryside all wait to be explored, and as word spreads a growing number of tourists are flocking in to see for themselves. Several UNESCO World Heritage sites take the breath – don’t miss Huế, Hoi An or the sanctuary at My Son. Best of all though, you'll experience a wonderfully exotic way of life. The delicious food, striking smells and bright colours will assault your senses, especially in the middle of a European winter. You'll see entire families balanced precariously on a motorbike, paddy fields filled with workers wearing conical hats, beautifully dressed women cycling gracefully around, street tailors who will whip you up a bespoke suit for next to nothing, and hordes of smiling children who all want to hold your hand.This well paced tour encompasses all the must see sights of Vietnam – Historic Hanoi and its Old Quarters, a cruise around spectacular Halong Bay, the ancient capital Hue, multicultural Hoi An, the mystical Mekong Delta and the bustling metropolis of Saigon.
Our Tanzania Adventure
Tour takes you to the wonders of Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara, to the famed Serengeti National Park and Tarangire National Park. As very few animals migrate in and out of the Ngorongoro Crater with its high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. Discover Tarangire, Tanzania's third largest national park and sanctuary for an unusually large elephant population. Majestic baobab trees are an interesting feature of the park, dwarfing the animals that feed beneath them.
