Into the Heart of Laos. Simply Breathtaking!

Laos - a country that feels like a gentle dream you wander into and never quite want to leave.

Yes … in this surreal place, time slows, colours soften. Laos does not shout for attention. It whispers. And those who listen are rewarded with golden temples, emerald rivers, misty mountains and a pace of life that gently resets the heart.

This 6-day immersive journey invites curious travellers and soft adventurers to slow down, connect deeply, and experience Laos beyond the surface as you observe saffron-robed monks glide through ancient streets in the peaceful morning with a rhythm unchanged for centuries.

Visit the many UNESCO historical sites at Luang Prabang, admire the French colonial elegance and sacred Lao architecture intertwine, creating a town that feels both timeless and deeply alive.

Beyond the sacred temples and monuments, Laos opens into a landscape of breathtaking calm. Emerald pools and golden rivers curve through limestone mountains, turquoise waterfalls tumble through jungle sanctuaries, and sleepy villages welcome you with warm smiles and unhurried hospitality. Here, nature is not a backdrop, it is the heartbeat.

This 6-day Adventure of Serenity, Scenery & Shared Moments is designed for travellers who crave beauty, authenticity and connection. You’ll cruise the Mekong at sunrise, cycle through countryside lanes, kayak along forested rivers and watch sunsets paint the sky from sacred hilltops. More than a tour, it is a shared experience with like-minded nature lovers, curious souls and gentle adventurers.

If you have been yearning for a destination that restores your senses and rekindles wonder, Laos is calling.

Come, Join us.

Meet and Make New Friends. Enjoy and feel the magic for yourself. 🌿✨

🍁 Discover the Untamed Beauty of Japan’s Sakura Cherry-Blossom in this Breathtaking 9-Day Hiking & Road Trip Adventure! 🚗

Hey members, you may have been to Japan many times but we bet many of you have yet to go 'off-the-beaten' track away from the popular touristy spots to EXPLORE & ENJOY the REAL JAPAN - it's immense beauty, colorful culture and hidden gems that few know of.
Come, join us on this breathtaking adventure as we take you to uncover Japan’s hidden gems, beautiful mountains, tranquil lakes and crimson forests during the early sakura season which comes slightly earlier in the mountains.

Note: This is not your typical tour — it’s an hiking cum road-trip adventure designed for hikers, nature-lovers, photographers and explorers who crave the freedom to roam beyond the boring tourist trail that few know of.

Our journey begins in Tokyo before we board the train to Odawara, where the real adventure starts. From here, we’ll hit the road to explore the dramatic coastlines of the Izu Peninsula, tranquil mirror lakes and waterfalls, and the beautiful forests of the Amagi Mountains. We’ll soak in rejuvenating onsen hot springs, visit charming countryside towns, and hike through the breathtaking landscapes of Shosenkyo Gorge and the cherry-blossom trees/ forests and picturesque 5 Lakes surrounding majestic Mt Fuji.

But that’s not all — we’ll also visit vineyards, winery, local fruit farms, indulge in seasonal harvests, and experience authentic Japanese cuisine along the way. Expect handmade soba, melt-in-your-mouth sashimi, and hidden izakayas only locals know.

Each day offers something different: misty mountain trails, lakeside sunsets, volcanic valleys, coastal viewpoints, and soul-soothing soaks in traditional hot-spring onsens.

To end our journey with a bang, we return to Tokyo and dive into the neon-lit buzz of Shinjuku — a perfect contrast to the serenity we’ve just experienced.

This is your chance to explore Japan’s beauty off from the usual touristy sights during the cherry-blossom season - the way few ever do and knew — with the breeze in your hair, a smile, a handphone/ camera in hand, and new friends by your side.

We're sure that 90% of these places we're showing you will be new or unknown to you even though you may have been to Japan several times before. Cos these hidden gems, amazing hiking trails, farms, small villages & scenic places are curated from my 40+ years of adventures there in Japan. They are mostly off-the-beaten track, may not be found in Google maps and not easily accessible without your own private vehicle and good topo navigation skills.

So ... are you game for adventure to enjoy autumn in picturesque Japan and discover new hidden trails with us?

**********
TRIP HIGHLIGHTS:

1) IZU PENINSULA
A hidden gem south of Tokyo, the Izu Peninsula offers a stunning blend of coastal cliffs, serene waterfalls, and forested mountains ablaze with sakura colours. From the scenic Kawazu Seven Waterfalls to the vibrant woods & forests of Shuzenji, Izu is perfect for hikers and onsen lovers alike. Explore charming hot spring towns, dramatic sea caves in Dogashima, and mountain trails in the Amagi Highlands — all while tasting fresh seafood and soaking in ocean-view baths.

2) HAKONE
Hakone is a beloved getaway known for its steaming hot springs, volcanic landscapes, and iconic views of Mt. Fuji. Visitors can hike quiet forest trails, cruise across the misty waters of Lake Ashi, and stroll down cedar-lined paths of the old Tokaido Road. The Hakone Open-Air Museum adds an artistic twist to nature, while hidden onsens and traditional inns provide the perfect retreat after a day of exploring. In spring, the surrounding hills burst into brilliant pink and red, creating picture-perfect scenes.

3) MT. FUJI Five Lakes Region
Surrounding Japan’s most iconic mountain, the Fuji Five Lakes area is a paradise for nature lovers and photographers. Lakes Kawaguchi, Yamanaka, Saiko, Shoji, and Motosu offer mirror-like reflections of Mt. Fuji, especially stunning in the lovely spring flower season. The area is dotted with hiking trails, lava caves, flower parks, and traditional villages. It’s also the perfect place to catch sunrise over Fuji or unwind in a lakeside onsen with unforgettable views.

4) YAMANASHI (incl. Shosenkyo Gorge)
Yamanashi is home to some of Japan’s most spectacular mountain scenery. Shosenkyo Gorge is a must-see, with towering cliffs, riverside trails, and vibrant maple forests. Beyond the gorge, enjoy fruit-picking at local orchards, wine-tasting in Japan’s premier wine region, and panoramic views from ropeways and scenic plateaus. The region combines mountain beauty with cultural charm and is the perfect inland contrast to the coastal Izu.

Yes, there's so much to explore beyond the popular touristy places of Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto. Cos the real beauty lies beyond - at the countryside, lakes, farms, waterfalls, cedar and oak forests, pilgrimage shrines, secret torii-gates, caves, vineyards & more!
