Journey to the enchanting lands of Shaman kings, Buddhist monks, geishas, and hill tribes. In Indonesia, fly to the island of Java and ascend the mysterious Borobudur temple.

In China’s Yunnan Province, meet with a Naxi family in their traditional home in Lijiang or stroll the Stone Forest of Kunming-one of Earth’s natural wonders. In South Korea, see the golden treasures of the great Shilla Kingdom and spend a night with the monks at Golgulsa Temple. And in Japan, explore Kyoto’s Zen gardens, Shinto shrines, and Buddhist temples; and visit the first imperial city, Nara, or take an ikebana or calligraphy class at a traditional ryokan where dinner will be served in exquisite kaiseki style.
