Petra, Lalibela, Abu Simbel – absolute gems, but not hidden enough? Well, then we have something else to recommend: West India’s Ellora Caves clearly (still) deserve to be called a hidden gem! 💎

This UNESCO World Heritage site seamlessly blends Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain beliefs, showcasing India's rich art and architecture. With around 100 caves, only 34 open to the public, each step unveils a timeless masterpiece. Ellora used to be an important historic commercial center of the Deccan region, located on an ancient trade route of South Asia. The caves served as monasteries for monks, temples for prayers and a place for pilgrims to rest.

But that’s not all: To add some layers to this Indian immersion, we will also explore the vibrant city of Mumbai, and if time allows, we will stop by the “Mini Taj Mahal” of Aurangabad. A captivating journey through different eras and styles awaits!

And who knows, maybe Mumbai’s secrets turn out to be a hidden gem as well.😉💎

Jebel Akhdar: The Green Mountain - found in the heart of Oman’s vast landscape - is home to ancient villages that emerge like hidden gems to tell tales of centuries old traditions. Standing as a living testament to Oman's heritage, Jebel Akhdar is home to an abundance of springs, winding wadis, and a Mediterranean climate on a 2,000m high plateau. Reminiscent of Bhutan’s Tiger’s Nest or Yemen’s Hadhramout, each month paints a different picture—roses, pomegranates, or figs. So join our next rendezvous with this wonderful place and take an unforgettable journey from West to East across Jebel Akhdar, where eagles nest, high ledges beckon, and lush oases shelter beneath a sea of palm trees.

Halloween is just around the corner, and for those looking for the ultimate adventure we have some great TREKKUPS.

First up, a journey to Venice for a different perspective on one of the world’s most romantic cities.

During Halloween Venice transforms into a chilling destination, hosting eerie parties on rooftops, piazzas, and palazzos by night, while we explore subterranean gothic crypts, houses with a grim history, canal-side ex*****on spots, and entombed relics amid Renaissance grandeur by day.

Next up, a journey through Iraq for a Halloween adventure like no other.

From the ghosts of Babylon to resurrected Nebuchadnezzars, we will explore the Cradle of Civilization along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Visit ancient Babylon, once the world's largest cities, and relive its tales found even in the Bible. And the best part, we’ll discover Saddam's opulent palaces, echoing the extravagance of past kings.

Or explore Cambodia's haunted temples hidden deep in the jungle where ancient Khmer warriors' spirits linger among vine-covered ruins.

Mysterious whispers, eerie shadows, and moonlit silhouettes create an otherworldly atmosphere as we journey on bikes and scooters through mud-splattered paths to forgotten temples, where Buddha's face peeks through overgrown foliage.

Join us, if you dare!

Happy weekend…now imagine yourself in beach paradise, as you kick-off your shoes, wiggle your toes in powdery white sand and simply let the cool ocean breeze wash over you 🌴🏖️🌊🌞

Welcome to the Maldives, an enchanting nation that hides intriguing secrets. One of the world’s tiniest and low-lying countries, its highest point at a mere 2.4masl, the Maldives faces an uncertain future due to rising sea levels.

A walk through its capital Malé will take you on a journey through ancient bazaars, nestled in narrow streets, but the real treasures are found among the 26 coral atolls - home to 1,200 islets that offer a marvellous feast for the senses.

With natural channels cutting through reefs, a breathtaking kaleidoscope of underwater gardens teem with marine life, just off the shores of pristine white-sand beaches, lined with swaying palms and mangroves.

So if you yearn for the perfect blend of sun, sand, and ocean exploration, the Maldives is your dream come true! All we want to do is take you there, next weekend…

It’s sometimes hard to imagine the UAE pre-oil. It seems like almost a lifetime ago. The good news is you don’t have to, because just across the water lies the island of Qeshm. The largest in the Persian/Arabian Gulf in fact. Fringed with biologically diverse mangrove forests, attractive beaches and some 60+ Bandari villages, Qeshm is a place that remains refreshingly attached to the age-old Bandari way of life. The Bandari’s are an Arabic people of origin, mostly Sunni, who have lived on the south coast of Iran for centuries. On an island with a sun-scorched interior featuring geologically unique canyons, hills, caves and valleys. Most of which are now protected as part of the UNESCO-recognised Qeshm Island Geopark. And the best part, all nationalities can enter Iranian visa free.

The Great Migration is a testament to the resilience of nature. And despite the many challenges faced, these animals continue to make their journey year after year.

The Mara River crossing is one of the most dramatic moments of this natural spectacle, as wildebeest and zebra cram together onto the riverbank, desperate to cross to the other side.
Yet crocodiles lurk beneath the surface, waiting to pounce.

Watching this natural thriller is a once in a lifetime experience that will ignite your senses; as literally millions of animals thunder across the landscape, creating a cacophony of sound and smell amidst organised chaos, only the way Mother Nature can.
