Allahabad Kumbh Mela 2025
Kumbh Mela, the largest religious gathering on earth occurs four times every 12 years, when tens of millions of Hindu pilgrims come together to take a ceremonial dip in the sacred Ganges, Shipra or Godavari Rivers. Locations for the gathering hopscotch across the plains between Allahabad, Haridwar, Ujjain and Nasik, cities that were mythological locations where drops of nectar of immortality were spilled from a ‘Kumbh’ (pitcher) during a battle between demi-gods and demons. The belief is that during Kumbh Mela, the waters at the four Location’s turn into the nectar, cleansing the sins of your lifetime as well as those dating back 88 generations. Each of the four cities hosts one mela (festival) during the 12-year cycle, with the largest, the Maha (Great) Kumbh Mela, taking place in Allahabad. This is confluence of 3 holy rivers – The Ganges, The Yamuna, and The mythical Saraswati. Mela will take place in Allahabad (Prayagraj) in 2025 with main dates as: Makar Sankranti, (1st Shahi Snan- Holy dip) January 14, 2025 3 Mauni Amavasya, (2nd Shahi Snan- Holy dip) January 29, 2025 4 Basant Panchami, (3rd Shahi Snan-Holy dip) February 03, 2025 The Naga sadhus (naked sages) of the Himalayas, clad only […]

Adventure travel – You’ll be spoilt for choice in Southeast Asia
Adventure travel can mean many things. When I look at the literal description it can be unusual, exciting – daring is an extra option. For some just getting on to a plane is an adventure. For many travelling around SE Asia is an adventure – new cultures, lifestyles, scenery & cuisine. For the first time traveller to the region it is a marvellous journey of discovery, quite unlike anything that will have been experienced in Europe, North America or the Caribbean. Of course submerging yourself in some of the options can take the experience to a different level. For some maybe it is mountain or jungle trekking. Or seeing Orang Utan, Elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat. How about snorkelling and scuba diving, some of the best in the world. Food adventures, trying something new, spicy and exotic and getting to know the abundance of strange looking /sounding fruits. Or just coming out of your city hotel and being immersed by the sight, sound and smells of the area, something you have never experienced before. All of these and more are adventures. The South East Asia region has so much to offer. So just a few personal experiences. […]

Authentic connections through celebrations
Traveling is more than just visiting new places; it’s about immersing oneself in the culture, values, and way of life of the people. One of the most profound ways to achieve this is by participating in local festivals. These celebrations offer a window into the soul of a community, revealing its history, beliefs, and traditions. For those seeking authentic travel experiences, attending such festivals is a guaranteed way to connect deeply with the destination.

Southeast Asia: a celebration region
South East Asia has so many festivals. In some countries like Thailand & Indonesia it seems that every month has something to celebrate. If your itinerary coincides with one (or maybe two) of these events, it will be an extra unique experience. I have been travelling and rather enjoying the region for close on 50 years and have been fortunate to have participated in several festivals. Maybe that is the secret of my youth! Again using Thailand & Bali (Indonesia) as examples, frequently I have had the significance of the occasion explained to me, what is expected. In many cases they are broad smile influenced lively religious occasions. Others, such as Nyepi (the day of silence) on Bali are a time of spiritual reflection which even the dogs and roosters seem to respect. Chinese New Year is one of the major festivals of the year. In obvious places like Hong Kong and Singapore but also large communities in Malaysia and Thailand. This is when the streets are colourfully decorated and bouncing processions, usually lead by a dragon, are daily. It is a very busy time, both in the cities and in the resorts as virtually all offices close for several […]

The rise of All Inclusive in Southeast Asia
More hotels in the South East Asia region are offering All Inclusive terms, in recognition of the ongoing popularity and pricing certainty offered by this plan. The inclusive plan option has just been introduced by the Nusa Dua Resort in Bali, and the Aleenta Pranburi Hua Hin in Thailand. David Kevan from Chic Locations who partner both hotels said “To me part of the appeal of travelling around the region is the ease to eat out at local restaurants. But I fully understand that when there is still a high level of financial uncertainty, travellers do like to manage their budgets without checking incidentals on a daily basis. Plus at a resort like Aleenta Pranburi (pictured) part of the appeal is the quiet retreat location with minimal options within walking distance. Makes total sense to include as much as possible and then totally chill out.”
