BEDOUIN & BREAKFAST: INDIA Live like a rajah at Jaipur's OBEROI RAJVILAS. There are acres of gardens, a hotel built like an old fort and - the real show-stoppers, 14 air-conditioned tents with massive teak beds, clawfoot tubs and private decks. |
TASTE OF: INDONESIA You could wander this country for months exploring the complex variety of its cooking. Or you could just stop by YOGYAKARTA'S HYATT REGENCY, whose five restaurants highlight different influences on Indonesian cuisine and cultures, from Dutch to Chinese to Muslim. |
ZEN: KATHMANDU Meditate at the Himalayan Yogic Institute, then trek the Annapurnas hunting for medicinal herbs used by traditional shamans. It's all part of EXPLORATIONS IN MEDICINE AND CULTURE, Nepal's 14-day trip. |
NATURE CALLS: KENYA Walk with the animals on Abercrombie & Kent's two-week KENYA EXPLORER SAFARI. Not only will you see rhinos and crocs on foot (instead of from a land rover) but you'll spend three days on a camel caravan led by Samburu and Ndorodo tribesmen. |
LIFE AFTER DARK: SINGAPORE Meet the NOCTURNAL RESIDENTS OF THE CITY'S RENOWNED ZOO at their nighttime best. Special lighting lets you spy discreetly on 110 species of birds, mammals and reptiles - many of them endangered, as they hunt, play and feed. |
ART ATTACK: THAILAND Until a few years ago, you needed a royal invitation to visit the summer palace in Hua Hin, the beach resort two hours south of Bangkok. But now KLAI KANGWON ("Far From Worries") is open to all and displays traditional Thai furniture and art, as well as the royal family photos. |
FABULOUS FACE-LIFT: TURKEY It's not as famous as his Suleyman mosque, but some say that SEHZADE CAMII, in old Istanbul, is Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan's secret masterpiece. Decide for yourself - after years of restoration, the scaffolding just came down a few years ago. Thanks
