Did you know this fact?

Bangladesh’s culture is deeply rooted in its vibrant festivals, one of the most unique being Pahela Baishakh, the Bengali New Year. Celebrated on April 14th, this festival marks the start of the Bengali lunar calendar and is a colorful display of traditional customs. On this day, people don traditional attire, participate in lively street parades, and enjoy festive foods like pitha (rice cakes) and panta bhat (fermented rice). The celebration is also known for its folk music and dance, including the energetic Baul songs performed by local minstrel singers. This day reflects Bangladesh’s rich cultural heritage and community spirit.

About Bangladesh

With a population exceeding 160 million people, Bangladesh is a hidden gem and relatively an unexplored area in South Asia, bordered by India, Myanmar, and the Bay of Bengal. It is a land where the rivers and hundreds of estuaries crisscross the landscape giving birth to a unique riverine culture. Exploring its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscape and stunning natural beauty, offers a unique and memorable travel experience.

With Dhaka taking the centre stage for all political and administrative activities, other cities in the small country of Bangladesh take the onus of travel-oriented exposure to the visitor. For this, the Mahasthangarh Archaeological Site (country’s oldest known city, dating back to 3rd century BCE), Paharpur Archaeological Site (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the ancient city of Bagerhat (known for its UNESCO-listed mosques from the medieval period), floating markets in Barisal, the tea gardens of Sylhet, Bandarban and Chittagong Hill Tracts (picturesque regions known for their stunning landscapes, diverse indigenous cultures, and rich biodiversity), Cox’s Bazar (the world’s longest natural sandy sea beach)etc. offer wonderful scapes to explore. Use these as base camps to get around, as the infrastructure is better in major towns rather than small villages. Its prime draw lies in the Sundarbans mangrove forest – the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its rich biodiversity. It is home to numerous endangered species including the Royal Bengal Tiger, saltwater crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. Exploring this unique ecosystem is a must for nature enthusiasts.
Bangladeshi cuisine is rich, flavorful, and influenced by a blend of cultural traditions, including Bengali, Mughlai, and tribal culinary practices. It reflects a blend of robust flavors, diverse ingredients, and cultural influences. Sampling local food makes it a delightful exploration for food enthusiasts looking to experience authentic South Asian flavors. Bangladesh hosts several vibrant festivals throughout the year, offering tourists a unique opportunity to experience its cultural richness and traditions. The notable festivals include Pohela Boishakh (Bengali New Year) celebrated on April 14th, Durga Puja (that signifies triumph of good over evil) celebrated usually in the month of October or November, Eid-ul-Fitr (that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting) etc.

The best time to visit Bangladesh for most travelers is during the winter months (November to February) when the weather is most pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. However, spring (March to April) is also a good option for those interested in cultural festivals, exploring wildlife and tea estates. In conclusion, Bangladesh is a country of breath-taking beauty. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, Bangladesh has it all. Its under-the-radar status makes it an ideal destination for those looking to explore off the beaten path.

Delhi

A city which has been the seat of power of several empires for about a millennium. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, and interestingly, a number of its destroyers have also been its rulers. Delhi today is a potpourri of two distinct cultural lineages—Old Delhi and New Delhi. Juxtaposed against the immaculately planned New Delhi created by the British Raj, Old Delhi, which was once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinthine network of lanes and by lanes with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques.

The city with its sprawling gardens, parks, lakes and perennial flowering trees has rightly earned the sobriquet of “Garden City”.

About Nepal

Tibet is a region on the lofty Tibetan Plateau in Asia. It is surrounded by the majestic Himalayas, featuring some of the highest peaks on Earth, including Mount Everest. The Tibetan Plateau, also known as the world’s third pole, spans across an area of 2.5 million square kilometres. The moniker, ‘roof of the world’, is apt for Tibet in many ways. Not only does the region stand amidst the Himalayas, but also has an otherworldly simplistic charm that is bound to enthrall the travellers. Stuck in a time-warp, Tibet is a window to how the world looked many centuries ago, unaffected by western influences, content and wonderfully aloof from the rest of the world. The place has a rich and complex history, shaped by various dynasties and cultural influences. Key historical figures like Songtsen Gampo, who founded the Tibetan Empire, and the successive Dalai Lamas, have left an indelible mark on the region’s cultural and spiritual heritage.

Visitors to Tibet can explore the UNESCO listed world heritage sites like the Potala Palace which is perhaps the most iconic landmark in Tibet, Jokhang Temple, one of the holiest sites in Tibetan Buddhism, Norbulingka, notable for its beautiful Tibetan architecture and serene environment, Sakya Monastery, an important Tibetan Buddhist monastery founded in the late 11th century, etc. Visitors can also experience breath-taking views of high-altitude lakes (such as Namtso and Yamdrok), snow-capped mountains (including Mount Everest), and vast grasslands. Tibet also offers opportunities for trekking, mountaineering, and exploring remote regions. Popular trekking routes include the Everest Base Camp trek and the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage trek.

Tibetan cuisine is a delightful blend of flavours and ingredients unique to the region. Dishes like momos, thukpa, and yak butter tea provide a culinary adventure for visitors.
Tibet also hosts several annual festivals that attract tourists interested in experiencing local traditions and celebrations. The most famous is the Tibetan New Year (Losar), which is celebrated over several days in late January or early February (based on the lunar calendar) with colorful ceremonies, traditional music, and dance. Other notable festivals include Saga Dawa which is celebrated on the full moon day of the fourth Tibetan lunar month (usually in May or June) and commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha, Shoton Festival (yogurt banquet) which is held usually in late June or July etc.


The best time to visit Tibet is from April to October when the weather is milder and more suitable for travel, except July and August which can be bit rainy. Travel to Tibet is subject to certain restrictions and regulations imposed by the Chinese government. Foreign tourists need to obtain a Tibet Travel Permit, and visitors are required to be part of a tour organized by a registered travel agency.


Tibet, with its breath-taking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and spiritual depth, offers a truly transformative travel experience. Whether you’re seeking adventure, spiritual enlightenment, or cultural immersion, Tibet promises an unforgettable journey. The sight of prayer flags fluttering in the wind and the sound of chanting monks create a serene and meditative atmosphere.

Did you know this fact?

Sri Lanka, often called the “Teardrop of India,” is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity and ancient history. It hosts the world’s oldest human-planted tree, the Sri Maha Bodhi, dating back over 2,300 years. The island is also a hotspot for blue whale sightings, offering a unique blend of wildlife adventures and deep-rooted cultural experiences.

About Sri Lanka

Emphasizing on the Culture, Heritage and Religion, Sri Lanka’s story date back thousands of years.Even as of today, the archaeologists come up with new findings or excavations of these trails/ sites, adding a sturdier foundation to cultural roots.

Being an island surrounded by Oceans and Waterbodies, make it an ideal beach or coastal getaway for travellers or to couple it with wildlife and nature. Animal enthusiasts have access to ‘The Big Five’ of Sri Lanka, that is, Blue Whale, Sperm Whale, Leopard, Sloth Bear and Asian Elephant, which is not second to any other wildlife spectacle in the world. Mountains, valleys and waterfalls are a treat to the eye when travelling to the Central Highlands and the avid adventure traveller has a plethora of options for trekking and hiking or to select a relaxed yet immersive experience to witness the hill/ tea country ambience.

Sri Lanka has two main monsoon seasons. The south-western monsoon brings rain to the south-west of Sri Lanka between May and September, while the North Eastern monsoon which runs from December to March brings rain to the North Eastern portion of the island.
If Sri Lanka is to be defined in one word, it is “diversity” in it’s truest form. Although smaller in geographic magnitude, it definitely is vast when it comes to the highlights of a traveller’s destination. This island is filled with authentic locality that spread beyond the commercial regions in the Western parts of Sri Lanka. Whilst it is the buzzing Colombo and high-rise buildings that make most townsfolk lively, the rural areas are quite laid back where time slows down, providing us with the opportunity to be ‘present in that very moment’.

Emphasizing on the Culture, Heritage and Religion, Sri Lanka’s story date back thousands of years. As locals, we are fortunate to have access to evidence in the form of inscriptions, historical monuments and ruins, hidden-away temples and caves, tales from our ancestors and many more. Even as of today, the archaeologists come up with new findings or excavations of these trails/ sites, adding a sturdier foundation to our roots. Our much talked about Culture and Religion too have stemmed from this history with traces of Vijaya-Kuveni invasions all the way to age-old Ramayana events, and plenty others. As such, Sri Lanka has become a country rich in cultural diversity, multitude of races, and religions.

Colombo

Sri Lanka’s commercial capital and major port “Colombo” offers a fine amalgamation of historic value and contemporary settings. Explore these grounds in different angles to experience the diverse array of food – organic and made to perfection with a touch of Ceylon spice, communities signifying family unions, colourful culture and of course some authentic shopping in trading boutiques with the principle of giving back to the rural society. Colombo is on ‘fast forward’ with sky risers and new cities being built, however, the Colonial structures entwined with the timeless rich history of Ceylon would undoubtedly take you back in time.

Kandy

This is a renowned UNESCO World Heritage city which carries a rich culture, history, traditions, arts and crafts. Located in the hill country, it also offers simple scenic beauty coupled with a touch of urbanity. The city’s colonial architecture has been preserved well even in the backdrop of rapid urbanisation. Close to the city’s center is the prime landmark, the ‘Sri Dalada Maligawa’ that houses the sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha. Apart from the ancient monuments of the Kandyan era, the delightful jumble of antique shops and the bustling market in the city also make up for interesting places to visit.

Cultural Triangle

This is the heart of Sri Lanka’s history and is home to a larger concentration of proud archaeological remnants of Sri Lanka’s medieval kingdoms. This bears the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and Dambulla which date back to the 4th century BC. A few key locations include the unparalleled beauty of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa ruins, the spectacular panoramas of the ancient citadel in Sigiriya and the Cave temples in Dambulla.

Central Highlands

Considered a great bio-diversity hotspot, the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka made it to the list of yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The location being approximately 2500 metres above sea level creates a cooler clime and thus allows for a plethora of flora & fauna and cascading waterfalls, making it a nature enthusiast’s paradise. There are endangered and other wildlife species such as the Western-Purple-faced Langur, the Slender Loris, Sambar Deer, and even sightings of the majestic Leopard, in these montane forests.

East Coast

This heavenly coastal getaway of unspoilt, white, sandy beaches and crystal blue waters is located in the Northeast portion of the island.Apart from the turquoise beaches and watersport activities, there are historically and culturally prominent sites in Trincomalee, and other leisure activities in Passikudah one could bask on. Passikudah is considered one of the most perfect and safest spots for sea baths due to its shallow coastlines and comparatively low currents.

South Coast

While you would only think of the famed beaches and adventurous water sports in the coastline, this region offers many more diverse experiences you could ever dream of. The South Western Coast is also renowned for its devil mask production, traditional puppet artistry, Moonstone mines and rubber plantations. The deep South offers Whale and Dolphin watching and all the way north to the wildlife treasures of many National Parks. Further towards the East is a Surfer’s paradise with Arugam Bay offering that perfect wave break.

North/North West

North West Coast begins with the popular coastal town of Negombo, renowned for its fishing villages, seafood, lagoon and beach. Further North is the region untouched by mass tourism, however, offers a range of wildlife such as Whale and Dolphin watching in Kalpitiya, exotic migrant birds in Mannar, Wildlife sightings in Wilpattu National Park and many more. Jaffna, the Northern tip of the island, is immersed in history, landscape of its own with Palmyrah trees, rich local life and surrounding isles.

Festivals & Special Events

Though Sri Lanka is a little pearl in the Indian Ocean, it’s blessed with four main religions and many other groups of ethnicities. This has protracted to us having several vibrant and traditional festivals to commemorate these distinctive occasions. Below highlighted are some of the essential ones to provide an insight of which selections classify as your “must see” and in your predilection to experience when you visit Sri Lanka along with key seasonal occurrences.

Did you know this fact?

Mongolia, the world’s second-largest landlocked country, covers roughly 1.6 million square kilometers. Despite its vast expanse, it has a population of only about 3.3 million people, leading to one of the lowest population densities globally. Additionally, Mongolia is known for its nomadic culture, with traditional Mongolian dwellings called “ger” (or “yurt” in Russian) serving as portable homes for herders across the vast steppes.

About Mongolia

Many recognize Mongolia as a nation of 3 million people nestled between two giants, Russia and China. Some associate it with the Mongol Empire, led by Chingis Khan, which once ruled a quarter of the globe. Others have heard of it as the ‘Emptiest Country in the World’ due to its vast landscapes and the rumor that 99.7 percent of Mongolian landscape is empty. However, the emptiest country in the world is full of life. Let us give you a glimpse of one of the most unexplored places on Earth:

One-third of Mongolia’s population still embraces the nomadic lifestyle, moving at least four times a year to follow their herds and maintain traditions dating back thousands of years. These nomads, such as the ‘Reindeer people’ who live in the middle of deep forests with reindeers, or nomads like Eagle Hunters whose best friends are eagles, showcase the diversity of life. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the population lives in a modernized manner, with a median age of 26. Religiously diverse, we primarily believe in Buddhism and Shamanism, but as a democratic country, we accept all religions.
When it comes to nature, Mongolia is an all-in-one travel destination, ranking 19th by landscape size. Whether you fancy the allure of Hawaii, the opulence of Dubai, the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland and Iceland, or even the mystique of Mars, Mongolia can provide similar views and experiences with its diverse range of landscapes. From big mountain ranges, crystal blue oceans, the birthplace of Chingis Khan, old sea bottoms turned into colorful cliffs, beautiful waterfalls, big sand dunes, and hot springs with healing powers, to ice caves, deep forests, and endless steppes stretching for hundreds of miles…

Mongolia offers adventure, solitude, a contrast between ancient nomadic life and modernity, or simply a connection with nature.

Flaming Cliffs

The Gobi Desert, with rock formations dating back over 70 million years, hosts the world's richest collection of dinosaur remains. The Flamming cliff is richest in fossil findings and made famous in the 1920s by American explorer and palaeontologist called Roy Chapman Andrews who discovered the first-known fossil dinosaur egss. Beyond its renown, the Flaming Cliffs boast a dry, windy atmosphere, with reddish hues that lend an otherworldly vibe.

Taiga

Spanning the borders of Russia and Mongolia, the Taiga comprises the Siberian forest, home to a unique group of people living alongside reindeer. These 'Reindeer People' live within the deep Taiga forest, accessible only by horse or reindeer. With only about 500 Tsaatan individuals in Mongolia, encountering their way of life often evokes the feeling from a fairy tale or cinematic scene. In taiga forest, time seems to slow down, offering a blessedly peaceful separation from the world. Tourists can try herding reindeer or engage in milking and playing with them.

Khuvsgul Lake

The blue, the fresh, the ever-free! Where the land meets the sky! Purest lake in Mongolia, Khuvsgul Lake, also known as the "Blue Pearl." Surrounded by forests, mountains, and meadows, this volcanic lake spans 136 km in length, 36 km in width, and plunges to a depth of 262 m, ranking among the world's freshest water bodies. Holding 70% of Mongolia's freshwater and 1-2% of the world's freshwater, it offers remarkable transparency akin to the blue Caribbean lakes. Visitor can engage in boating, swimming, fishing, and in winter, partake in winter sports and ice festivals

Khongor Dunes

One of the few sand dunes in the world that gets covered by snow in the winter! As the largest sand dune in Mongolia, the Khongor Dunes stretch over 180 km and can reach widths of 27 kilometers. Alongside the dunes flows the Khongoryn River, giving birth to oases along its banks. Camels serve as the sole mode of transport in the dune, rewarding climbers with breathtaking views from the top.

Harhorin

Once a center of the world, Harhorin is a old capital of Mongol empire, when Mongolians were most powerful. Famous silk road was crossing the Harhorin and it was the most multicultural city in the world at that time. Today, Harhorin stands as a small town located in the UNESCO World Heritage Orkhon Valley, preserving remnants of its glorious past. Visitors can explore ancient ruins, including the Erdenzuu Monastery, try in meditation, traditional costumes, and immerse themselves in traditional music, dances, and arts.

Altai Tavan Bodg

Altai Tavan Bogd, tracing the border of Western Mongolia with China and Russia, is the greatest attraction in Western Mongolia. Featuring picturesque valleys, alpine lakes, rivers, glaciers, and Mongolia's highest peaks, the park offers a paradise for trekkers, mountaineers, and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Adding to its beauty is the opportunity to immerse oneself in Kazakh culture, witnessing the ancient art of eagle hunting and exploring archaeological sites such as petroglyphs and burial mounds.

Terkh Lake National Park

Spanning 773 sq km, Terkh Lake National Park is famed for its freshwater gem, Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur (Great White Lake), and the striking Khorgo Uul volcano. Shaped by volcanic activity, the area showcases volcanic craters, lava stones, and other geological marvels. Visitors can unwind by the lake, embark on hikes, or enjoy horseback riding amid the forested mountains

Terelj Lake National Park

Located a one-hour drive from the capital city, Ulaanbaatar, Terelj National Park is colorful and with magnificent alpine scenery. The park's area is incredibly impressive, featuring massive rock formations, valleys and hills, rivers and forest. This makes it one of the most popular destinations for both locals and tourists alike. Common attractions for travelers, such as the Ariyabal Meditation Center, Tsonjin Boldog Complex, and the 13th-century complex, are all situated near or within the park.

About Sri Lanka

Emphasizing on the Culture, Heritage and Religion, Sri Lanka’s story date back thousands of years.Even as of today, the archaeologists come up with new findings or excavations of these trails/ sites, adding a sturdier foundation to cultural roots.

Being an island surrounded by Oceans and Waterbodies, make it an ideal beach or coastal getaway for travellers or to couple it with wildlife and nature. Animal enthusiasts have access to ‘The Big Five’ of Sri Lanka, that is, Blue Whale, Sperm Whale, Leopard, Sloth Bear and Asian Elephant, which is not second to any other wildlife spectacle in the world. Mountains, valleys and waterfalls are a treat to the eye when travelling to the Central Highlands and the avid adventure traveller has a plethora of options for trekking and hiking or to select a relaxed yet immersive experience to witness the hill/ tea country ambience.

Sri Lanka has two main monsoon seasons. The south-western monsoon brings rain to the south-west of Sri Lanka between May and September, while the North Eastern monsoon which runs from December to March brings rain to the North Eastern portion of the island.
If Sri Lanka is to be defined in one word, it is “diversity” in it’s truest form. Although smaller in geographic magnitude, it definitely is vast when it comes to the highlights of a traveller’s destination. This island is filled with authentic locality that spread beyond the commercial regions in the Western parts of Sri Lanka. Whilst it is the buzzing Colombo and high-rise buildings that make most townsfolk lively, the rural areas are quite laid back where time slows down, providing us with the opportunity to be ‘present in that very moment’.

Emphasizing on the Culture, Heritage and Religion, Sri Lanka’s story date back thousands of years. As locals, we are fortunate to have access to evidence in the form of inscriptions, historical monuments and ruins, hidden-away temples and caves, tales from our ancestors and many more. Even as of today, the archaeologists come up with new findings or excavations of these trails/ sites, adding a sturdier foundation to our roots. Our much talked about Culture and Religion too have stemmed from this history with traces of Vijaya-Kuveni invasions all the way to age-old Ramayana events, and plenty others. As such, Sri Lanka has become a country rich in cultural diversity, multitude of races, and religions.

Colombo

Sri Lanka’s commercial capital and major port “Colombo” offers a fine amalgamation of historic value and contemporary settings. Explore these grounds in different angles to experience the diverse array of food – organic and made to perfection with a touch of Ceylon spice, communities signifying family unions, colourful culture and of course some authentic shopping in trading boutiques with the principle of giving back to the rural society. Colombo is on ‘fast forward’ with sky risers and new cities being built, however, the Colonial structures entwined with the timeless rich history of Ceylon would undoubtedly take you back in time.

Kandy

This is a renowned UNESCO World Heritage city which carries a rich culture, history, traditions, arts and crafts. Located in the hill country, it also offers simple scenic beauty coupled with a touch of urbanity. The city’s colonial architecture has been preserved well even in the backdrop of rapid urbanisation. Close to the city’s center is the prime landmark, the ‘Sri Dalada Maligawa’ that houses the sacred Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha. Apart from the ancient monuments of the Kandyan era, the delightful jumble of antique shops and the bustling market in the city also make up for interesting places to visit.

Cultural Triangle

This is the heart of Sri Lanka’s history and is home to a larger concentration of proud archaeological remnants of Sri Lanka’s medieval kingdoms. This bears the UNESCO World Heritage cities of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya and Dambulla which date back to the 4th century BC. A few key locations include the unparalleled beauty of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa ruins, the spectacular panoramas of the ancient citadel in Sigiriya and the Cave temples in Dambulla.

Central Highlands

Considered a great bio-diversity hotspot, the Central Highlands of Sri Lanka made it to the list of yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site. The location being approximately 2500 metres above sea level creates a cooler clime and thus allows for a plethora of flora & fauna and cascading waterfalls, making it a nature enthusiast’s paradise. There are endangered and other wildlife species such as the Western-Purple-faced Langur, the Slender Loris, Sambar Deer, and even sightings of the majestic Leopard, in these montane forests.

East Coast

This heavenly coastal getaway of unspoilt, white, sandy beaches and crystal blue waters is located in the Northeast portion of the island.Apart from the turquoise beaches and watersport activities, there are historically and culturally prominent sites in Trincomalee, and other leisure activities in Passikudah one could bask on. Passikudah is considered one of the most perfect and safest spots for sea baths due to its shallow coastlines and comparatively low currents.

South Coast

While you would only think of the famed beaches and adventurous water sports in the coastline, this region offers many more diverse experiences you could ever dream of. The South Western Coast is also renowned for its devil mask production, traditional puppet artistry, Moonstone mines and rubber plantations. The deep South offers Whale and Dolphin watching and all the way north to the wildlife treasures of many National Parks. Further towards the East is a Surfer’s paradise with Arugam Bay offering that perfect wave break.

North/North West

North West Coast begins with the popular coastal town of Negombo, renowned for its fishing villages, seafood, lagoon and beach. Further North is the region untouched by mass tourism, however, offers a range of wildlife such as Whale and Dolphin watching in Kalpitiya, exotic migrant birds in Mannar, Wildlife sightings in Wilpattu National Park and many more. Jaffna, the Northern tip of the island, is immersed in history, landscape of its own with Palmyrah trees, rich local life and surrounding isles.

Festivals & Special Events

Though Sri Lanka is a little pearl in the Indian Ocean, it’s blessed with four main religions and many other groups of ethnicities. This has protracted to us having several vibrant and traditional festivals to commemorate these distinctive occasions. Below highlighted are some of the essential ones to provide an insight of which selections classify as your “must see” and in your predilection to experience when you visit Sri Lanka along with key seasonal occurrences.
