Experience-based Travel

From Lincoln Harris, Founder, Remarkable East

The five remarkable journeys offered to you in 2018/19 are tours for travellers, designed by travellers.

When I travel personally, I want to explore each location in depth. To see key attractions, but also uncover the lesser-known destinations. I love to engage with interesting guides and local characters along the way. I seek new experiences, enjoy the simple pleasures of everyday life in another country, but also enjoy stylish accommodation.

Whether it’s riding commuter trains in Mumbai, sipping arrack at a local bar in Colombo, talking cricket with a tea seller in rural India, staying at a suite in Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur or being served high tea by the butlers at Tea Trails in Sri Lanka, my personal travels are a mix of the things I love about the countries I visit. And that’s what I want to share with you.

Remarkable East tours aren’t developed sitting around a table in an of ce. Each tour evolves from extensive travel — whether it’s personal travel, reconnaissance or leading tours. When we are developing a tour we visit every location and hotel. We test every activity. Importantly, we know what works because we see the response of our travellers first-hand when we are on tour.

The tours of Remarkable East are a reflection of the way we like to travel, refined after 20 years traversing Asia. We’ve distilled all that we have learnt and discovered from travelling — the places, the people, the experiences — and have personally crafted these remarkable tours.

I present to you Splendour in Sri Lanka, Insights of Sri Lanka, Myanmar Revealed, India In Style and Secret South India.

This is Remarkable East. I invite you to experience it with us.
