Tom ClohertyBoth Bali and Lombok are stunning islands surrounded by beautiful coral beaches, colourful Hindu temples and the clear aqua blue sea.
The best thing about Bali and Lombok is it’s serenity, it fills your soul up with a wonderful calmness. -

You’re spoilt for choice of places to see and do in Sri Lanka, whether it be the beaches, the forest monasteries of Anuradhapura, climbing over ‘Budda’s own footprint’ to reach the pilgrimage site of Adma’s Peak or simply indulging in some ancient holistic therapy known as Ayurveda.

Nikhil ChhibberThe highlights of Bhutan for me, was visiting the ancient Buddhist sites in Bumthang Dzongkhag, trekking along Phobjika Valley and simply being embraced by the magical and surreal Tibetan calm and spirit-soothing culture.
Bhutan is without a doubt ,a truly enigmatic country that has learnt to combine its traditional values with the ever evolving modern lifestyle of the world.

Kathmandu provides an adrenalin to the senses. Whizzing rickshaws, tucked away temples decorated in colourful flowers and some great choices for accommodation, it will delight any true traveller.
There are many great markets to pick great souvenirs, check out some of the beautiful architecture including the octagonal Krishna Temple. -
Rossella ColellaCuba is a spectacular country, with beautiful and very warm loving people. Travel here not only requires a passport, money and a good rucksack; it also requires flexibility, creativity, good humour, patience and a healthy sense of adventure. Cuba remains an easy country to travel to and within and since Raúl Castro took office in February 2008, he has allowed Cubans access to cell phones and entry into tourist hotels, meaning interaction with the locals is now simpler and often surprisingly candid.

Mumbai is truly a mish mash of all things diabolical. Pieces of old colonial architecture can be found around the city, wealthy residences alongside astonishing poor slums, a labyrinth of bazaars, restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping outlets and an equal number of cave-temples.
One of my highlights, was Elephanta Island, home to the three faced Hindu goddess Shiva.
Overall, disappointed that our trip wasn’t long enough, but knew it was a great start to many. -

I have travelled extensively throughout India, both through business and pleasure and it was there I had my first personal encounter with an endangered species, a Royal Bengal tiger in Central India.
Since then I have had the pleasure of witnessing India's rich diversity of wildlife, including the Nilgiri leaf monkey, the Asiatic lion, the Indian white-rumped vulture and of course, the majestic Indian elephants.

Walk amongst the most chilled out people in the world, the Buddhist monks, as you pick up your souvenirs, spend the afternoon gazing at the great temple of Angkor Wat and stop by for a drink at the pretty riverside location of Siem Reap.
You will undoubtedly return with some of its magic. -
Erica MooreStepping into Jakarta city is like stepping into the future. The streets are pristine, not surprisingly, since the fine for littering is $500! The malls are fabulous, equipped with every type of shop known to man.
Festivals occur throughout the year, one not to miss is Chingay Parade welcoming the New Year in February and another is the Hindu Festival of Thaipusam, where you’ll see devout Hindus piercing their bodies in honour of their Hindu god, Thaipusam.
