    Spiritual Awakening in Luang Prabang, Laos

    When it comes to being persuasive to visitors, Luang Prabang is a seasoned charmer. Nestled at the confluence of the mighty Mekong and Nam Khan rivers with forest covered mountains forming its backdrop, the town remains the countries number one draw.  Evocative scenes are not difficult to come by in the one-time Royal Capital. As the early-morning mists roll away from the Mekong, the streets fill up with saffron-robed monks collecting their daily alms, a ritual preserved for centuries - and more so here than anywhere else in Buddhist Asia. The gentle chimes of temple bells resound throughout the day, while the sound of diners chattering over riverside cocktails or gourmet meals defines the unobtrusive evening clamor. Although modernity has encroached in the shape of slick new cafes and hotels, Luang Prabang remains very much in touch with its past. The city is UNESCO World Heritage-listed, which means that most of its unique combination of cultural wonders such as royal palaces, traditional Lao wooden style buildings, French colonial architecture and ornate temples remain safeguarded. Highlights include Wat Xieng Thong and Phou Si Mountain, which is located atop a hill overlooking the city and offers incredible views across the city towards…

    Idyllic and Untouched – Lombok & the Gili Islands

    Known as the 'Island of the Gods', Bali's prominence as a destination is rightfully huge. In recent times, growing numbers of visitors have been looking a little further east to Lombok, where the fabled Gili Islands have emerged as one of Indonesia's premier beach havens.  For those who relish both comfort and exoticism, however, there is no better place than Bali. Many visitors barely scratch the surface of the island's deeply complex and spiritual Hindu culture, preferring to spend their time surfing the island's fabled breaks, relaxing in opulent resorts or enjoying life to its fullest in sleek beach clubs and international-class restaurants. The island's magical tapestry of enchanting temple ceremonies, vivid-green rice terraces and comfortable living, however, can be easily found in places such as the cultural center of Ubud, laidback beach towns like Lovina and Amed and in the glorious hinterland. Just to the east, Lombok is very different in character. The island is predominantly Muslim and is drier and more arid than Bali. Its highlight, the Gili Islands, with their coral reefs, stretches of white sand and friendly locals, however, offer perhaps the most blissful beach experience in Indonesia.

    EXO Explores – Western Honshu & South Japan

    The southern reaches of Japan don't get as much tourist footfall as the areas around Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, but they are no less alluring. Western Honshu, known as Chugoku, is best known for the legacy of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, its main city. However, visitors can experience everything from peaceful mountain scenery to exquisite seafood and culinary encounters with the potentially lethal fugu (blowfish), a specialty of the town of Shimonoseki on the far western trip of Honshu. Beyond western Honshu lies Kyushu, the third largest island of Japan and the most southwesterly of its four main islands. Rugged and mountainous, and rich in volcanic activity, the island is a favorite of hikers. The peaks of the Kirishima chain are ripe for exploring while the fearsome Mount Aso is the country's most active volcano. Excellent trekking can also be found on Shikoku, where pilgrims have walked clockwise around the island for more than a millennium, following in the footsteps of Buddhist saint Kobo Daishi. Far removed from Japan's main four islands and stretching south to within 200 kilometers of Taiwan, Okinawa shows visitors yet another side to the country. Known for its friendly, sub-tropical, climate and string of…

    EXO Explores – Art & Architecture in Cambodia

    Aesthetics have long played a central part in the culture of Cambodia. The temples at Angkor are widely recognised as one of history's crowning architectural achievements. Meanwhile, a few generations later, the colonial and post-colonial eras ushered in a new age of Khmer creativity , reflected in everything from architecture to music, film and art. The dark days of Khmer Rouge rule and its aftermath served to stunt this blossoming, but guests visiting today can appreciate the country's unique artistic heritage in a number of often-indulgent ways. Available journeys vary in scope. In the capital Phnom Penh, a vibrant architectural scene can be appreciated through informative walking tours, while a similar experience can be enjoyed in sleepy Battambang. Other unforgettable memories can be created through sunrise appreciation of the temples at Angkor and an insight to Cambodia's incredible artistic heritage with one of the country's most innovative creative collectives. OUR FAVOURITE EXPERIENCES  PHNOM PENH ART & ARCHITECTURE TOUR In recent times Phnom Penh has slowly rebuilt its artistic spirit, drawing from a new sense of optimism brought on by Cambodia’s rapidly changing society.

    EXO Explores: Halong Bay & North Vietnam

    No natural draw encapsulates the otherworldly beauty of Vietnam quite like Halong Bay. Jutting out almost perpendicularly from the Gulf of Tonkin, 1600 or so limestone karsts stud the emerald waters of the bay. The seascape, which is UNESCO World Heritage-listed, is arguably the country's most recognisable tourist draw and it is fully deserving of its fame. A legion of cruising junks - some basic, some salubrious - ply the waters and spending at least one night sleeping under the stars out on the water is an integral part of any Vietnam itinerary. Although Halong Bay is undoubtedly the banner attraction in northern Vietnam, there are plenty of other stirring experiences to be had. Much of the area is rugged, mountainous and often very remote and the scenery is almost uniformly spectacular. Provinces such as Cao Bang and Ha Giang offer some of the most memorable vistas in the region, but remain relatively inaccessible. Equally compelling and easier to get to is the little town of Sapa. Located high in the Tonkinese Alps near towering Mount Fansipan, the highest peak in Vietnam, Sapa was established as a hill station by the French in 1922 and is the main center for…

    EXO Explores – Penang, Malaysia

    Compact and convenient yet brimming with exotic attractions and historic sights, Penang is one of Malaysia's banner destinations. Strategically important due to its location in the Straits of Malacca, the island has acted as a crossroads for trade and a link between Asia's two halves for centuries. It's colourful history can be easily digested in the city of George Town. The island's main hub, it revels in a sensual melange of influences where watermarked Chinese shop houses are located a few narrow streets away from shops selling Indian spices and grand mosques.  The city is also home to some of Malaysia's (and subsequently the world's) most delicious hawker food. These open-air stalls are particularly strong on Chinese dishes, but seafood and the island's legendarily creamy durian are other must-haves. Out in the countryside, things are no less enticing. The beaches of the north coast supply tropical lounging, while mountainous jungle showcases the island's wilder side. FEATURED TRIP BEST OF PENINSULA (7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS) Catch a glimpse of Malaysia's mesmerizing heritage and remarkable landscapes with a one-week group tour.

    EXO Explores – Pakse & The South, Laos

    Previously overshadowed by bigger hitting destinations further north, the southern section of Laos is coming into its own as a magnet for tourists. From the limestone karsts and dense forests of the Phou Hin Boun NPA (National Protected Area) to the coffee plantations and roaring waterfalls of the verdant Bolaven Plateaux, southern Laos is prime territory for nature lovers who relish deviating from the beaten path. The landscapes brim with potential for derring-do with prime activities including motorcycle odysseys into the wilderness or kayaking or rafting amidst pristine nature. There's also plenty of scope to ease things down to the more familiar laid-back pace of life in Laos. A good spot to indulge in such a recharge is Si Pan Don. Better known as the 4000 Islands, this riverine archipelago hard by the border with Cambodia offers palm fringes islands set against a lazy and winding section of the Mekong River. Si Phan Don is not the only Mekong River attraction worth diverting to in the southernmost Champasak province of Laos. The beautiful island of Don Daeng, directly opposite Champasak town, is ideal for exploration by means of pedal power and is close to Wat Phou, a UNESCO-listed pre-Angkorian temple…

    EXO Explores: Classic Japan

    From the Alpine peaks of chilly Hokkaido in the north to the coral reefs of Okinawa over 3000 kilometers south, Japan has a collection of greatest hits to send the pulse of any travel enthusiast racing. Vibrant cities supply plenty of sensory stimuli, but their neon lit pace is offset by a plethora of natural splendor. Towering mountain ranges extend down the country's spine, offering visual manna and abundant opportunities for exploration of the great outdoors. Iconic Mount Fuji is the country's highest peak and is easily accessed from Tokyo. Great hiking territory can be found in various locations however. The awe-inspiring jagged peaks of the northern Alps in Honshu are considered the country's premier trekking grounds. For post workout respite, meanwhile, traditional ryokan (inns) with onsen (hot springs) are perfect for relaxing aching limbs. Top onsen spots include Kinosaki in Honshu and Dogo in Shikoku. Delving into Japan's rich culture and fascinating history is also a must for visitors. Guests can overnight in a temple at famous ancient pilgrimage sites such as Mount Koya. Meanwhile, the country's most recent past is thrown into focus at Hiroshima's Peace Memorial Park and Museum, dedicated to victims of the atomic bomb that…

    EXO Explores: Battambang Cambodia

    Of all of Cambodia's large urban centers, Battambang is undoubtedly the most alluring. Located amidst attractive rolling countryside to the west of Tonle Sap Lake, the town enjoys a peaceful riverside location and possesses some of the country's best-preserved colonial architecture. Although it is laid-back to the point of being horizontal, the city has its own unique dynamism. In fact, it has become known for being at the cutting edge of an emerging Cambodian art scene with several galleries and creative spaces around town showcasing the work of local artists. At the core of the city's artistic revival is Phare Ponleu Selpak. The sprawling arts establishment, established by one-time refugees from Cambodia's civil war, teaches visual, applied and performing arts to underprivileged kids. Its centerpiece is its circus school with students performing in energetic and often-thought provoking productions under the school's big top. The healthy art scene in the city, meanwhile, is complemented by a clutch of high-quality restaurants specializing in everything from fine French dining to more humble, but still delicious, Khmer delicacies. Battambang's bucolic hinterland is also well worth exploring. The famous "bamboo train" - an eccentric and noisy contraption - runs along a short section of track…

    EXO Explores: Central & Northeastern Thailand

    Often bypassed by travellers rushing either to the mountains of the north or the beaches of the south, the central and northeastern reached of Thailand have plenty of attributes to woo visitors.  Central Thailand is the country's cultural heartland. Fed by the Chao Phraya River, the fertile plain north of Bangkok births much of the nation's rice crop while towns such as Ayutthaya and Sukhothai were formerly capitals of once-mighty Thai kingdoms. Steeped in colourful history, the majestic ruins at both towns reward exploration by bike or by foot. To the northwest of Bangkok, mountain ranges climb towards the Myanmar border, the lush peaks hiding spectacular foaming waterfalls. The base for exploration of this wilderness is Kanchanaburi, a friendly riverside town famous for its role during WWII when occupying Japanese troops enlisted POWs and conscripted Southeast Asians to build the infamous 'Death Railway' to what was then known as Burma. Northeastern Thailand, otherwise known as Isaan, is, to tourists at least, the country's great unknown. The giant drought-prone area is the poorest part of Thailand and banner attractions are fewer here than in other regions. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating cultural makeup - it has more in common with Laos…

    Beyond the Golden Route: Japan’s alternative sakura trail

    While the popularity of Japan’s Golden Route, connecting Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, is undeniable, the sakura season can bring a level of crowding that detracts from the experience. Fortunately, there are alternative routes that provide a more relaxed, yet still quintessential Japanese cherry blossom experience. Beyond the Golden Route, the sakura blooms a bit later, the crowds thin out and more accommodation options are available, providing a more enjoyable and authentic experience.EXO recommends the northern Tohoku and Hokkaido regions, which offer a brilliant sakura season that typically begins in mid-April, a few weeks later than the peak season on the Golden Route.
