This is the title of the property itinerary

Head out on a drive through the surrounding highlands. You’ll begin at the estate bungalow and travel in a vintage Series Land Rover, moving past tea gardens, mountain ridges and everyday scenes of local life. Along the way, you learn about Hanthana’s plants, wildlife and stories tied to the land. The route then shifts to a short forest walk, leading you to a beautiful filming location from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The rock linked to the famous Sankara Stone still sits within the landscape. The journey ends at the Rock Bar, where you pause with a drink, enjoy the valley views and watch for birds or wildlife moving below.

Set out on the Twin Hills Trek, a two-hour hike through the central highlands. The trail is steady and approachable, taking you through forest patches, open grassland and rising paths that gradually reveal wider views. As you climb, the landscape keeps changing, keeping the walk engaging without feeling demanding. At the summit, you’re rewarded with a full 360-degree view of the mountains around Kandy. You can spot the Knuckles range in the distance, Adam’s Peak on the horizon and the Victoria Reservoir below. Eagles often circle overhead, adding to the sense of scale. It’s truly a walk that you’ll remember for life.

Step outside and explore the surrounding hills known for their rich birdlife. As you walk through the gardens and nearby trails, you’ll notice different species moving through the beautiful trees and open spaces. Each area reveals new colours, calls and patterns that help you understand why Hanthana is valued by birdwatchers. You can join the in-house naturalist, who points out species, shares details about their behaviour and helps you spot birds you might otherwise miss. The experience gives you time to observe, pause and appreciate the natural beauty of the hills.

To witness the Chhau dance is to go on a journey through the history and culture of India, a spectacle that leaves a lasting mark on your senses. Ensure that you make time for this extraordinary cultural gem during your visit to The Belgadia Palace. It's an experience that truly deserves a coveted spot on your bucket list.

Welcome to a pristine island haven that wholeheartedly champions ecological principles and firmly believes in the positive impact of tourism on preserving biodiversity and uplifting local communities. Batu Batu is an ideal choice if you’re seeking a harmonious and rejuvenating stay nestled in the wild and natural environment of Malaysia.

Explore Val di Fiemme’s vibrant wilderness on guided hikes and snowshoe treks that celebrate movement, mindfulness and awe. Follow woodland trails scented with pine and moss, hear quiet streams threading through meadows and feel crisp mountain air brighten your stride. Pause at panoramic overlooks, where sunlight paints peaks and valleys in shifting colour. Along the way, learn about local ecology and traditions from expert guides who share insight with warmth and curiosity. This is active travel with purpose: energising days outdoors, conscious connection to place and a renewed appreciation for nature’s detail.

If you constantly feel like slowing down and taking a break from the everyday world, then solitude, space and freedom await you in Parrano, Italy. Silence is often louder than words and you’ll understand that solitary journeys have a transformational impact on us. Are you ready to seek peace and silence? Are you ready to meet yourself?

Visit a cricket bat factory in Pahalgam and see how Kashmir’s famous willow bats are made. Walk into the workshop, where skilled craftsmen shape raw wood into bats used by players worldwide. You’ll feel the smooth willow, watch the carving process and even try your hand at sanding or balancing a bat. The scent of fresh wood fills the air as workers carefully perfect each piece. Whether you're a cricket fan or just curious, it’s a fun and unique experience. By the end, you might even take home your own handcrafted Kashmir willow bat as a special souvenir.

Looking back, it’s not just the physical journey one undergoes through a diversity of terrain to reach this mountain, but it’s a journey in oneself, a transformation if you like, through the diversity of emotions, the challenge of the trek and especially the touching of your heart through encountering the local people.
