Press Release Summary = Experience alternative luxury in the mountains of the Himalayas, relax in the contemporary surroundings of Cambodia, or enjoy the buzz of Cape Town!
Press Release Body = Some simply über cool ideas to whet the appetite, and for those lucky ones..start spending that big bonus...
Completely immerse yourself in Bhutan's extraordinary landscape and cultural heritage. The 7 day package (as part of an itinerary as long or short as desired) uses Uma Paro as the base - from where you are taken on a two-day overnight camping trip, replacing the luxury of a hotel room to alternative luxury in a magnificently located wilderness campsite high in the Himalayas. Guides take you along remote mountain paths where few humans have been before, and spectacularly perched monasteries and temples can be viewed. Overnight in total remote surroundings, yet waited on hand and foot - how different is that?!
For those not quite so energetic, how about basing yourself in the contemporary resort of Amansara in Cambodia and experience yoga at the great temples. The main reason to visit Cambodia is to see the mysterious 12th century city of Angkor Wat at Siem Reap - which houses without doubt the largest religious monument ever built. The numerous shrines within this area are minded by Buddist monks - sitting, watching and meditating..what better serene environment in which to practise yoga? Private dining can also be arranged within the temples. To get a better feel for attractions further afield and to get a true feel for this fascinating region, helicopter tours are easily arranged.
Lastly, one for the boys (or girls with adventuresome spirit.). Get your mates together and escape the dreary UK Winter for the sunshine in trendy Cape Town. Imagine the wind in your hair and the rush of excitement in riding a Harley Davidson from the Waterfront in Cape Town up to the Winelands. A trip of approx 40 minutes of adrenaline highs along a wide flat road surrounded by mountains and vineyards on either side, with the sea and Table Mountain behind you - hard to beat eh? Well actually it gets better. On reaching Constantia in the Winelands, lunch is arranged for you at the world renowned restaurant 'Uitsig'. Feast on Cape delicacies and delicious wine in the most sublime setting imaginable. Then explore the area on the Harley before returning to your base of Cape Grace Hotel. The hotel is situated in the heart of the Waterfront, surrounded by bars, restaurants and great shopping - a real buzz in every meaning of the word! To take the buzz one step further - helicopter trips can be arranged along the coast and arriving back into Cape Town over Table Mountain.
