Cool Summer Vacations in Asia Summer in parts of Asia is not a hot, sticky affair as it is nearly everywhere else. On the contrary, June-August is the perfect time to travel to Mongolia, Nepal and Bali, which all have excellent temperate weather. The summer also holds one of the most awe-inspiring, exciting events of the 21st century – the longest solar eclipse of our time, which will only be visible through a narrow corridor in Asia. Whether you seek mountains, beaches, active adventure or relaxing in solitude, Remote Lands can create your holiday of a lifetime for you and your family at excellent value. Please call us today for other recommendations and a complimentary consultation at +1.646.415.8092. |

Wilderness and Wildlife Nepal Neatly nestled in a nook between India and China, Nepal holds a surprising amount of biodiversity for a Himalayan country. In Kathmandu, have dinner sitting on the floor at the home of a member of the aristocracy and sample local Nepalese delicacies, take a private helicopter ride to the summit of Mount Everest and visit the hot, jungle-covered lowlands known as the Terai, which offers one of the best wildlife experiences in Asia with its endangered populations of the Asian one-horned rhinoceros and the Bengal tiger. |

Virgin Territory Mongolia Mongolia is a land of stark beauty and vast expanses of steppe and desert that few traverse but the local nomadic herdsmen. From the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, travel by helicopter, jeep and camel to the far corners of this massive country to spend time with remote nomad families. Stay in a luxurious yurt (ger), with your expert guide, masseuse and private chef nearby. Fish for the legendary taimen fish, go river-rafting and see a naadam festival with archery, wrestling and horseback riding competitions. |

Island Paradise Bali The breathtakingly beautiful island of Bali has something for everyone, and is perfect for families and honeymooners alike. Stay in one of the world’s finest hotels such as Amankila or Como Shambhala in a secluded villa with your own private pool. Hike to secret temples through verdant rice terraces, visit leading contemporary art galleries and make traditional, animal-shaped kites with one of the princes of Bali. Indulge yourself, unwind, de-stress in the magical little paradise that is Bali. |
