Cradled by the northern range of the Himalayas, the Ladakh region of India is a completely underrated moderate hiking destination.

Our hiking trip to Ladakh, departing in August, calls for all keen walkers seeking a blend of pristine Tibetan monasteries perched on hilltops and hikes through dramatic, dust-lined mountain ranges adorned with colourful prayer flags.

There are limited spots available for August. Check the YellowWood Adventures website for more information! Alternatively, peruse the itinerary ahead of your 2025 summer holidays ⛰

Did you know Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity in 301 AD, followed by Georgia in 326 AD?

These two neighbouring countries are home to an innumerable amount of breath-taking cathedrals and churches, where sacred blessings are complemented by architectural marvels. Armenian churches are defined by pointed domes and a vertical emphasis along their structures, while Georgian medieval churches combine characteristics of Armenian and Byzantine architecture.

Torn between Tenerife, La Gomera, or La Palma? No need to choose - we've got all three covered on our 2 brand new autumn/winter tours to the Canary Islands!

🇪🇸 Tenerife is synonymous with sunny beach holidays but its mountainous north boasts cool forests, the souring volcano 'El Tiede', and impossibly beautiful viewpoints.

🇪🇸 La Palma's capital Santa Cruz de La Palma holds the most charming architecture in The Canaries, with cobbled streets leading to shady plazas and delightful boutique shops.

🇪🇸 La Gomera, rising steeply out of the azure Atlantic, is one of the lesser visited islands; but teeming with the magical biodiversity of its prehistoric forests and the 'Jurassic Park' feeling of its untouched coast.

The Spanish Canary Island archipelago form a dainty chain in the deep blue Atlantic off the West African coast.

And like many place in the world, where you choose to go within these islands matters; because the differences between the islands and even between the towns themselves have markedly different contrasts.

YellowWood has taken the time to explore these islands to bring you two hand-crafted multi-island itineraries, guiding you to the hidden gems of these islands, whilst avoiding tourist bottlenecks – see our website for more information: https://yellowwoodadventures.com/countries/northern-spain

You’ll be amazed at what you don’t know or mistakenly think you know about these islands - we were blown away by them - and we are the experts when it comes to taking the path less travelled.

Uzbekistan's Silk Road story is one of great prosperity and luxury trade 🗺🧭

As the mediator between the East and West, Uzbekistan’s place on the Northern Silk Road route brought travelers from the 114 BCE Han Dynasty in China into cities like Bukhara and their capital, Tashkent.

Soon, Uzbekistan blossomed into a bustling hub of commerce and culture, establishing itself as the centre of the Islamic Golden Age. An era marked by an openness to other cultures, a strong emphasis on education, and the emergence of Islamic arts.

Despite the 13th-century Mongol invasion, Uzbekistan’s Golden Age splendour can still be seen in the ornate architectural designs of its mosques and madrasas, each telling stories of historical cultural exchange.
