This journey takes you to four of our worlds most exotic and relatively unknown countries to western visitors. Each country is so very different from the other but all share similar spiritual and cultural traditions. Myanmar and Cambodia home to two of humankind’s most magnificent archaeological achievements –without a doubt two of the most precious jewels in Indochina’s crown - the Temple Plain of Bagan in Myanmar and Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Vietnam, land of the Ascending Dragon, whose beauty surprises all and whose jewel lies within the heart of its people, whose warmth and hospitality transcend history. Laos, the hidden jewel, - virtually unchanged for half a century, rich in history and described by Rudyard Kipling as Asia’s last Shangri-La. These are The Jewels of Indochina.
