The tiny and beautiful state of SIKKIM lies to the south of Tibet, sandwiched between Nepal to the west and Bhutan to the east. Measuring just 65km by 115km, its landscape ranges from sweltering deep valleys just 300m above sea level to lofty snow peaks such as Kanchenjunga (Kanchendzonga to the...
Darjeeling

Part Victorian holiday resort, part major tea-growing centre, DARJEELING (from Dorje Ling, “the place of the thunderbolt”) straddles a ridge 2200m up in the Himalayas and almost 600km north of Kolkata. Over fifty years since the British departed, the town remains as popular as ever with...

The Sikhs’ holy city of AMRITSAR is the largest city in Punjab with the fabled Golden Temple, whose domes soar above the teeming streets. Amritsar is also an important staging-post for those crossing the Indo–Pakistan frontier at Wagha, 29km west.
The Golden Temple stands in the heart of the old...

I just returned from a week long trip to Rajasthan with my husband, 2 kids ( 4 and 6 yo), and parents. We had an amazing time. We worked with a fellow OWC member who is a travel agent. She was great, the trip was planned perfectly, and she was always available via SMS to fix any issues and answer...

We LOVED the trip, probably should have spent two nights on the boat but enjoyed every minute of it all. I am so glad we had the opportunity to see such a different part of India.
Thank you so much for coordinating both trips for me, I would have never done either had I not met you so I...
Vietnam

Few countries have changed so much over such a short time as Vietnam. Less than forty years since the savagery and slaughter of the American War, this resilient nation is buoyant with hope. It is a country on the move: access is now easier than ever, roads are being upgraded, hotels are springing...

Populated by a blend of Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous groups, Malaysia boasts a rich cultural heritage, from a huge variety of annual festivals and wonderful cuisines, to traditional architecture and rural crafts. There’s astonishing natural beauty to take in too, including gorgeous...
Luala Lumpur

Founded at the head of the Klang Valley in the mid-nineteenth century, Kuala Lumpur – widely known as KL – has never had a coherent style. The earliest grand buildings around Merdeka Square, dating from the 1890s, are eccentric fusings of influences from across the British Empire, now overshadowed...
Penang

Way up the west coast, 370km from KL and 170km from the Thai border, PENANG is a confusing amalgam of state and island. Mainland roads and the rail line converge at unattractive Butterworth, jumping-off point for the brief ferry ride over to Pulau Pinang, Britain’s first toehold on the Malay...
