With Mount Everest straddling its border, rare one-horned rhino roaming its jungles and pagodas studding its valleys, the tiny mountain kingdom of Nepal has an almost mythical quality. You don’t have to be an elite mountaineer to explore here, and our specialists can explain the wide variety of trekking options available, as well as experiences beyond the mountains, to shape a tailor-made holiday to Nepal that suits your interests. Temples, palaces and pilgrimage sites line the Kathmandu Valley, while the capital itself presents you with an assortment of spice bazaars, shrines and artisan workshops. Chitwan National Park is defined by river plains and jungle where Bengal tigers and gharial crocodiles live. In-between you’ll find medieval villages with elaborate Newari mansions and narrow cobbled streets. This is all watched over by the ever-present Annapurna and Everest ranges that form the backbone of the country.

Mount Bromo’s smouldering crater at sunrise, wandering through Bali’s neatly terraced rice paddies, searching for dragons in Komodo National Park… On a tailor-made holiday to Indonesia with Audley, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Indonesia specialists know the country inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook. Wreck-dive through turtle-infested waters, or snorkel past shoals of glistening butterflyfish. Watch nervously as a villager precariously shimmies up a tree to harvest coconuts. Sip on Bali’s Robusta coffee-blend, grown in rich, volcanic soils. Outsmart opportunist macaque monkeys, and listen out for the orangutan’s deep, rumbling call ripple through Sumatra’s pristine jungle. Be captivated by a kecak dance (rhythmic chanting) at the world’s largest temple. Gold-leaf temples anchored on clifftops besieged by thrashing waves. Lombok’s empty white-sand beaches. Forest-smothered volcanic peaks. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your own style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go.

Once central to the spice trade route, Malaysia absorbed influences from Chinese, Indian and Muslim merchants to create a rich culture and culinary heritage. Our specialists have sampled the delicacies of Penang’s night market, hiked through national parks and sought out traditional ways of life along the east coast. Using this detailed knowledge of the country, we can create a tailor-made Malaysia holiday to suit your interests. The UNESCO-protected cities of George Town and Malacca are strewn with Javanese mosques, Chinese prayer halls and Edwardian Baroque architecture. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is where the old world meets a vibrant, modern society and glittering skyscrapers share space with seasoned markets. Despite Malaysia’s development, great swathes of primary rainforest remain intact, as well as pristine beaches and unsullied coral reefs. Along the coast you find traditional kampung villages, lively resorts and islands offering secluded beachside retreats.

A country by name, but a continent in scale, India in one word is diversity. To guide you where to go when faced with such rich variety, our India specialists use the experience of their own travels to create your tailor-made holiday to India. The north is banded by the snow-crowned peaks of the Himalaya. Moving south, you pass through Rajasthan, a microcosm of India with its forts, palaces and temples, as well as the Taj Mahal. Central India shelters leopards, elephants and the Bengal tiger. In India’s northeast corner, Calcutta still exudes its colonial heritage in a landscape of Bengali mansions and neo-Gothic architecture. West-coast Mumbai is an improbable proposition — a hub of manufacturing where you can wander among Art Deco architecture or through a teeming bazaar. Down in India’s south, cruising Kerala’s backwaters on a converted rice barge is a suitably relaxed way to embrace this region’s laid-back approach to life.
