are excited about our first visit to Northern Vietnam. This will be an
adventurous, moving on tour through the
mountainous
Rajasthan
"It's like stepping into the pages of
the National
Geographic" commented Jack, a Canadian who joined us on our first tour to
Rajasthan. We have been back 3 times since and are still amazed by this
desert state of India. Desert it may be, but dull it isn't.
Iridescent turbans, brilliant saris, castles,
forts, and palaces, this tour is a knockout. We stay in heritage
hotels, converted forts and princely homes and spend two nights
camping at the famous Pushkar Camel Fair, one of India's most colourful
celebrations. Tribes-people from miles around trading camels and horses,
music, fairs and entertainment.

stunning and varied scenery and a good climate.

Scojam caves. Our tour ends with a day at leisure in Slovenia's
interesting capital city, Ljubljana. Nice accommodation and luggage
