A Magical Discovery of Asia
A unique combination of Southeast Asia's most magical sites; Borobudur, Angkor Wat and Luang Prabang.
A great way to see the stunning scenery of Java is to take one of the trains that roll through the volcanic peaks and paddy fields covering the island. The first class executive carriage on an inter city train is very comfortable, with air conditioning and reclining airline style seats. If you are in a group the seats can also be spun around so that four face each another. While they do not travel at the speed of the modern railway systems elsewhere in the world, the trains generally do run on time and and it’s quicker and more fun than travelling by car. The lush green fields and dramatic volcanic peaks on Java create a unique and spectacular setting and the train is a great way to take it in. If appropriate, a lunch will also be included and the food is surprisingly good.
You can include this experience as part of an Experience Travel Group holiday designed exclusively for you.
