Religion and spirituality are at the core of tours to many Asian countries. The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan’s monasteries are its biggest allure. Kandy in the mountains of Sri Lanka is home to one of Buddhism’s holiest temples. Feudal-era traditional hanok villages and serene temples dominate South Korea’s rural landscape. Cambodia’s crown jewel is the temple of Angkor Wat, which sees a million visitors each year, while in Japan, Kyoto’s biggest draw is its profusion of ancient Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines.
Asian countries are blessed with soul-stirring landscapes and captivating wildlife. Snowy Himalayan vistas in Nepal and Bhutan. Lush greenery along the Mekong in Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. One-horned rhinos in Nepal. Elephants, dolphins, and whales in Sri Lanka, and orangutans in Malaysia. And the list goes on.
In addition, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean host vibrant underwater worlds. In Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago you’ll find the richest variety of marine life and corals in the world. Resorts in the Maldives provide privacy and pampering, amid some of the world’s most scenic tropical islands. And in Malaysia, every kind of water baby, from the novice to the seasoned diver, is catered to.
Asia’s flavorful cuisines are reason enough to travel there. Thailand’s coconutty curries and stir-fries, Vietnamese noodle soups and bahn mi sandwiches, Cambodian fish amok and kuy teav, Japan’s sushi and ramen noodle soups—all just touch the tip of the taste iceberg.

We’ve worked with Enchanting Travels on more than ten trips now………….many have been 3-5 week adventures that require tremendous attention to detail in remote parts of the world. We have never been disappointed–only incredibly delighted! Anita was amazing to work with for Sri Lanka/Southeast Asia. I had a very specific wish list and she made sure I crossed everything off of it! The itinerary was geared to our interests and the pace we prefer. Divya kept a close eye on us throughout to ensure that things went smoothly. Working with Enchanting for so many years has allowed us to build relationships that increase the quality of our experiences as time goes on. Not only do they know the best places to see throughout the world but now the bonus is that they know US! These trips keep getting better. We run out of superlatives in trying to explain just how outstanding our experiences have been since we started working with Enchanting. As long as we can drag our suitcases to an airport, we will continue to plan meaningful, life changing adventures with them. Many thanks to the entire Enchanting Team for all of the efforts in making this trip so memorable!

Once again we were delighted to travel with Enchanting Travels. This was our third time and destination and they didn’t disappoint. Our driver/guide was of exceptional standard proudly showing us his country with the combination of the Enchanting team in the background making it a seamless adventure. I would recommend them to one and all.

Enchanting Travels made our trip entirely stress free and easy. This meant we were able to enjoy the beauty of Vietnam and Cambodia. All our guides, drivers, hotel staff, and trip coordinators were so so wonderful and a pleasure to interact with- Can’t speak highly enough about this company.

Enchanting Travels exquisitely prepared our excursion from top-to-bottom based on our initial discussions regarding our desires for our trip. From cities, sites, tours, hotels, & activities, we were immersed in our favorite style of travel: get involved in activities [culinary class, organic farming, yes – and of course care of the elephants], great knowledgeable guides, local food tasting as one priority, and trying different modes of local transport [from car, boat, bicycle, Cyclo-cross, Tuk-Tuk, Long Boat, gondola, canoe, Vespa scooter, and even a bamboo raft]. The hotels were specifically selected for their local style, and the sites were all well represented and included off-the-beaten path historical and natural treasures. The oversight of our trip via the App as well as 24/7 coordinator involvement made it totally hassle-free.

Enchanting Travels and their staff put together a trip of a lifetime. We hadn’t traveled to Asia before and were nervous about what to expect or how to navigate once we were there. We also really didn’t know what we wanted to do other than a few expectations. We went to four countries with multiple hotels, flights and boat excursions. I cannot believe that the 5 week trip went off with out any hitches! Everything was so smooth and effortless. We did not worry about anything the whole time we were there. It was comforting to know that our trip coordinator was there for us if we needed her and she certainly responded quickly if we did have a need or question. The choices for hotels that Enchanting Travels recommended were superb and the guides and driver were knowledgeable and fun. I can not speak more highly of all of their services and plan on using them again for another big trip.

Enchanting Travels did an excellent job of planning, coordinating, and executing our trip. This was our first trip with Enchanting Travels and we would definitely recommend them and we will definitely use them again. They have an outstanding staff and listened to our needs and developed a trip within our budget. While I was skeptical about having a coordinator in another country, it worked; when we needed help addressing issues, which were minor, they were on it quickly and efficiently and effectively. This is a first rate operation.
