What an unforgettable adventure in the Sultanate of Oman! Our group of intrepid travellers from Australia embarked on a journey that took them through stunning landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and breathtaking natural wonders.

From the ancient mosques and vibrant markets of Muscat, to the towering dunes and starry nights of the Wahiba Desert, to the hidden wadis and lush oasis of Salalah - Oman truly was mesmerising for everyone.

The winding roads of the Hajar Mountains led them to the hidden wadis, where they cooled off in crystal-clear pools, hiked through lush canyons, and marveled at the ancient rock art.

But no trip to Oman would be complete without a visit to the legendary Nizwa Friday Market. The bustling marketplace, filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of local commerce, was a feast for the senses. The atmosphere was electric, with the friendly chatter of vendors and the lively banter of shoppers creating a sense of community.

One of the highlights of the market is always the halwa workshop, where one can learn the traditional art of making Omani halwa, a delicious sweet.

Their stay at the Souly Eco Lodge in Salalah was a highlight, offering sustainable accommodation with stunning views of the Arabian Sea. The lodge's commitment to eco-friendly practices encourages us in being more and more supportive about local conservation efforts.

This journey was more than just a vacation – it was a transformative experience that opened the group to the beauty and diversity of Oman. We hope they returned home with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for this incredible country.

Late post….

The group has expressed immense joy in recounting their recent agricultural tour in Punjab and various regions of Northern India. This journey provided an intimate look at the essence of India, its rich cultural tapestry, and the dynamic rural existence.

The tour was an amalgamation of unforgettable experiences and educational encounters.

The days were brimming with technical visits to farms, where they had the opportunity to operate tractors and gain knowledge about the latest farming techniques.

They embarked on leisurely strolls through the village, engaging with both large-scale and small-scale farmers, and gaining a peek into their everyday routines.

The group had the opportunity to interact with dairy farmers, understanding the process of milk production and the significance of sustainable farming.

They ventured into factories that manufacture farm equipment, thereby gaining insights into the technological progressions in agriculture.

Undeniably, the most thrilling part of the trip - witnessing tigers in their natural habitat and visiting the iconic Taj Mahal!

In addition, they had the honor of being invited for dinner by a gracious and hospitable Indian family. The meal was mouthwatering, and the conversations were enlightening. They had the chance to narrate their experiences, learn about their customs, and experience their warmth firsthand.

They are already in the process of planning their next escapade, and the anticipation of sharing it with everyone is palpable.

Travel Chronicles: A Moment in Time at the Majestic Taj Mahal ✨

In an image that speaks volumes, our recent travel group stands before the Taj Mahal, laughter echoing off the marble, capturing the essence of exploration and friendship.

As dusk approached, the sky changed into hues of amber and gold, illuminating the group—aligned and grinning wide—with the splendor of the mausoleum's silhouette reflecting their unbreakable bond.

Each traveler added a unique vibrancy to the frame, yet together, they wove a tapestry of companionship, as timeless as the love story the Taj represents. The immaculate gardens and intricate marble carvings around them held us spellbound.

We tread paths worn by centuries, absorbed tales that defied time, and crafted memories to cherish forever. Our journey transcended mere sightseeing; it was a communion with each other, and the soul of the world.

As the group ventures forth, we're reminded how travel unifies us, imparting lessons of history and sowing seeds for tomorrow's friendships. They may wander to new horizons, but today, they revel in the Taj's grandeur.

Wishing you all love and the spirit of wanderlust. More travel stories await. 🌏

It is a marvel of modern engineering that links Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The panoramic views from the causeway were nothing short of breathtaking, with the azure waters of the Persian Gulf stretching to the horizon.

🕌 And what could speak more of beauty and serenity than the grand Al-Fateh Mosque? Its majestic architecture and spiritual ambiance provided a moment of reflection and peace, a true oasis for the soul amidst our travels.

From the hustle of Manama's souqs to the tranquil shores of its coasts, Bahrain continues to surprise and delight us.

We are overjoyed to share the incredible experiences that our recent groups have lived through in the enchanting landscapes of India.

From the verdant slopes of tea plantations to the serene waters of Kerala's backwaters, it has been a celebration of nature, culture, and camaraderie.

🌱 The tea plantations offered a soothing retreat, where the aroma of fresh tea leaves mingled with the soft whispers of the cool breeze, telling tales of timeless traditions and hardworking tea-pickers. Spoting wild elephant family traversing the slopes was the highlight that few would forget.

What an unforgettable journey for our group to Turkey and Mauritius !

Winter in Turkey was simply a spectacle to behold. The snow-capped landscapes were a wonder, and the chill in the air only added to the enchantment of it all.

One of the major highlights was the hot air balloon ride. Floating above the mesmerizing landscapes, the group got to witness Turkey's beauty from a whole new perspective.

Next up was the family run cooking class. There's no better way to comprehend a country's culture than through its food and its people. Each dish told a story of its own, and getting a chance to cook with a local family is truly a unique experience.

But the ultimate adventure had to be the jeep safari. Racing through the rugged terrains, the adrenaline rush was unbeatable. Every turn taken was filled with excitement and anticipation.

And let's not forget about the food. Oh, the food! The amazing variety of dishes to savor was simply unparalleled. Every meal was a foodie's dream come true.

The journey was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and gastronomy. More on Mauritius later. Until then, here are some snapshots from this unforgettable trip.

Pilgrimage tours in India and Nepal

Motivated by their deep reverence for Buddhist teachings, these followers felt drawn to the cradle of Buddhism, India.

We were honoured to have the Ringpoche lead a transformative journey through the captivating lands for the group.

This pilgrimage served as an unparalleled opportunity for them to connect with ancient wisdom, visit revered monasteries, and immerse themselves in the birthplace of Gautama Buddha.

The journey commenced in Bodh Gaya, where the sacred Bodhi Tree stands as a powerful symbol of enlightenment. From there, the group made their way to Sarnath, where Gautama Buddha delivered his first sermon. Other notable destinations included the breathtaking Mahabodhi Temple Complex in Kushinagar.

Throughout their expedition, these experts had the privilege of engaging in enlightening discussions with venerable monks, attending spiritual teachings, and participating in meditation retreats. These interactions not only fostered personal growth but also facilitated the exchange of knowledge and deepened their sense of camaraderie.

They return with renewed inspiration and a deeper understanding of Buddhist principles.

India has been a land of farmers for times immemorial.

Our teams have been tailor making farming trips for many years. These trips include productive interaction with farmers and farming communities, technical interactions with government organisations, providers of technical instrumentation and visits to working farms.

It is always our aim for these specialised tours to be able to give an interactive experience to all.

We are happy to have one such of our group from Uk being covered by media recently.

Here is the link

Like farmers in Punjab, the UK farmers too have similar farm-related issues, including decreasing profits, farm suicides, huge debts, climate change impact on crops and decreasing population in farming and related occupations.
