Asia
Orangutans foraging in the vanishing Borneo rain forest; Mongolia, home to the last horse-based people on earth; India’s incomparable tigers; the once-forbidden Buddhist lands of Burma and Laos; the wildlife and exquisite cultural traditions of Japan — with all these, and more, Asia is an inexhaustible treasure-trove of adventure travel experiences.
|  | | Wild India with the Brahmaputra RiverDeparts: November 14, 2008 Travel to India, a country steeped in beauty and diverse wildlife habitats that can equal those of Africa for drama and for profuse concentrations of animals. Our India wildlife safari is led by expert naturalists who reveal thousands of birds, herds of grazing deer, bison, and elephants and, we hope, the elusive tiger. We invite you to join us on an adventure that will unveil an India unseen by most including a private Brahmaputra River cruise. | |  | | Snow Monkeys and Cranes of JapanDeparts: January 19, 2009 and February 10, 2009 Our Snow Monkeys and Cranes expeditions provide opportunities to enjoy a Japan that few Westerners experience: Japan in winter.

In addition, enjoy a full day excursion to Kyongju, Korea, a World Heritage Site encompassing hundreds of excavated monuments, temples, tombs, and pagodas.

Our journey to Mongolia will introduce you to a vast open realm, a landscape with no boundaries, where wild horses thunder across grassy steppes, native people live as nomadic herdsman, and the bones of dinosaurs hide in distant canyons, awaiting your discovery. | |  | | Western HimalayasDeparts: September 14, 2009 A tapestry of exquisite cultural landmarks and spectacular natural wonders, our journey travels from the splendors of Delhi to the Kashmiri moonscapes of Ladakh and the princely states of the Western Himalayas.
