A journey the family will never forget

Any families still not sure what to do with the kids for Easter? Leading Asia specialist, Travel Indochina have some amazing deals on a selection of Easter breaks for the entire family – spaces are limited so places should be reserved as soon as possible.

The tour operator is offering discounts on all its family Small Group Journeys over the Easter break, so whether travellers want to take their loved ones tiger spotting on a jeep safari in India, learn how to cook at an entertaining cookery class in the beautiful hillsides of Northern Thailand, cycle through lush paddy fields in the Mekong Delta or sit back and relax while watching an amazing Kung Fu show by Chinese Martial Arts performers, Travel Indochina has just the journey to fit the bill.

For families wishing to experience the history, diversity and local colour of Travel Indochina’s range of stunning destinations, under the expert guidance of the operator’s very own fantastic and well-informed local guides and western tour leaders, the following small group journeys come highly recommended.

Among the discounted family adventures available is the Vietnamese Hotpot tour, which has an action-packed itinerary suitable for all the family. Travel Indochina takes its guests on a fun-filled cycle tour through the fascinating streets of Hanoi and then on to witness the spectacular scenery in the wondrous Halong Bay, among many other highlights – including the chance to ride on the back of an elephant in a horse-drawn cart while taking in the sights of this stunning country.

Families can choose from a 12 day trip in Vietnam, or if they have 3 extra days available can move with the group to see one of the wonders of the world, the Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

Alternatively, the Chinese Checkers family adventure is a 12 day tour during which travellers have the unique opportunity to see Giant Pandas in the capital, Beijing, as well as the famous Terracotta Warriors of Xian and the spectacular limestone mountains of Guilin. This amazing tour combines these historic and cultural sights with opportunities for the family to try fun activities such as kite-flying with the locals in Tiananmen Square, learning calligraphy in Shanghai and bike riding on the ancient city walls of Xian.

All the aforementioned Easter tours depart on either the 22nd March or 5th April 2008. Alternative Small Group Journeys departing over Easter with amazing discounts are the Mountains and Monks journey through Laos, packed with pagodas, pachyderms and some of the friendliest local people in Asia, the 12 day Pappadoms and Palaces journey including tiger-spotting and sand dune adventures and the Tuk Tuk Thailand adventure through the ever popular Land of Smiles – with a chance for the family to learn how to become an elephant mahout!

Prices for the family small group journeys start at £775 (based on twin share accommodation) although further discounts are available for children under 12.

Travel Indochina’s General Manager, Chris Orme, enthused: “Our family Small Group Journeys have proved extremely popular in the last couple of years, which has led us to expand our range of holidays for 2008. Our local guides make sure families get the most out of their stay and with our Easter discounts, the value for our customers really is second to none.”

Travel Indochina has 15 years’ experience in operating small group journeys to “the real” Asia and unlike many other travel companies limits its group size to a maximum of 15 people. The smaller groups enable travellers to gain the best from both worlds - greater access to the local culture and plenty of opportunities for independent exploration.
