New York, NY (PRWEB) January 10, 2008

Remote Lands, the world’s foremost luxury travel designer focused exclusively on Asia, is offering extraordinary adventure travel opportunities for the most discerning travelers. The company’s variety of extreme sport experiences in various Asian countries include rock climbing in Vietnam, heli-skiing and snowboarding in Nepal, tow-in surfing in Indonesia, and yak skiing in India. Remote Lands’ bespoke adventure journeys begin at around $ 1,000 per person per day, depending on the destination plus international airfare. Amenities such as private jet charters, helicopters, VIP audiences, and personal staff including chefs, trainers, concierges and other professionals are additional.

~Rock Climbing, Luxury Yachts on Vietnamese Islands~

Vietnam’s Halong Bay, a long-favored site for picturesque yachting, is emerging as an ideal location for rock climbers with its majestic limestone peaks and cavernous alcoves. Providing a luxurious yet authentic experience, Remote Lands will arrange for guests to live on yachts and access climbing routes by traditional Vietnamese skiffs made of tightly woven bamboo. Comprised of 1,969 islands, many of which are hollow, Halong Bay offers climbers hundreds of exciting routes. These include bolted circuits beginning inside a cave to ascents made directly from participants’ Vietnamese watercrafts and ending near the thick jungle vegetation that tops every island. The day will begin and end with gourmet meals served on the yacht, and near sunset, clients will return to their floating home for cocktails and spa treatments to soothe aching muscles. Remote Lands can also arrange for more advanced climbers to create new routes and make first ascents.

~Heli-Skiing and Snowboarding in the Himalayas~

Replete with normally unreachable pistes, the Annapurna/Dhaulagiri and Everest regions in the Himalayas of Nepal are a haven for heli-skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. Remote Lands organizes days of heli-skiing and boarding that incorporate four to six runs per day that take about an hour each, including transportation to the top of the run by helicopter and a 20-minute rest at the bottom. After the thrilling experience of carving through virgin snow, guests are transported back to a luxury ski lodge for a rest or an optional trip to a local monastery for an audience and blessing with the senior lama.

~Tow-in Surfing in Sumatra~

The gorgeous beaches of Sumatra in Indonesia provide an ideal setting for the extreme sport of tow-in surfing. Remote Lands will arrange for clients to experience the thrill of being towed into a breaking wave by a jet-ski or wave runner in the Mentawai Islands, a chain of about 70 islands off the western coast of Sumatra. Following an adrenaline-filled morning surfing the Islands’ numerous secret spots, guests then retreat to their private yacht with a personal staff of 13, including an on-site masseuse. The next morning, clients of Remote Lands can explore the Mentawai under the waves by going snorkeling or scuba diving and exploring the area’s thriving coral reefs. Remote Lands also offers tow-in surfing in The Maldives.

~Yak Skiing in India~

In the Indian hill resort of Manali, Remote Lands will arrange for clients to participate in the rare experience of yak skiing. After being transported by yak high into the picturesque Tibetan mountains, clients of Remote Lands will arrange for a personal chef to prepare a gourmet dinner in a private tent. The next morning, a guide will lead a herd of yaks up a mountain and attach the animals to a pulley at the top. Clients will fasten themselves to the other end and rattle a bucket of pony nuts at the bottom of the run, which will send the yak stampeding downhill and clients soaring up. Following an exciting morning at such stunning altitudes, Remote Lands will arrange for a memorable dinner in the home of a local Indian family during which guests will have the opportunity to learn about the family’s culture and daily life.

Remote Lands’ luxury adventure itineraries also include such activities as rock climbing and para-gliding in Thailand, trekking in Bhutan, and deep sea diving in The Philippines.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 28, 2009

With global recovery underway, people are once again looking toward the horizon and letting the wind fill their figurative sails. “Feedback from our members reveals that more and more travelers are requesting catalogs and itineraries and perusing our web pages,” said Adventure Collection Editor in Chief Don George. To further whet this wanderlust, George asked the members of the Adventure Collection to recommend one particularly hot trip for 2010 – a journey that especially impassions them. Here are their recommendations.

Natural Habitat Adventures: Ultimate Churchill

This polar bear expedition offers a total immersion into the world of the polar bear and the Canadian Far North. Our warm, self-contained tundra vehicles take us into the icy wild to view polar bears as they hunt, play and interact, entertaining us just feet away from our windows. But our adventure doesn’t end there: We’ll also helicopter to the bears’ denning area where we can climb inside an unoccupied den, experience the northern boreal wilderness by dog sled, and visit with authentic Inuit storytellers. When night falls, we’ll watch for the swirling colors of the aurora borealis, as vivid here as any place on earth. “Ultimate Churchill” is the ultimate north.

The Ultimate Chruchill: 7 days, 6 nights; multiple departures in Oct. and Nov.; $ 6,295 per person, double occupancy

Off the Beaten Path: Inside Guatemala — Semana Santa, nature, and Mayan spirit

This insider’s journey connects you with the spirit of the people, art of the culture, and nature of the place. Learn about Guatemala’s famous textiles and folk art from local artisans, many of whom are Mayan. The Mayan culture is alive and well here, and you’ll explore the ancient foundations of this influential civilization at the fabulous sites of Yaxha and Tikal.

The UNESCO World Heritage City of Antigua is another real highlight of the journey. It’s very special to be in Antigua for the Easter celebration of Semana Santa, when men and women carry enormous religious floats through narrow streets, over elaborate carpets of flowers, pine needles, and brightly dyed sawdust.

From the colorful markets and colonial ruins to the slopes of Pacaya volcano, “Inside Guatemala” offers a very personal view of a fascinating country. Highlights include: Antigua — nestled in a mountain valley with three volcanoes on the horizon, idyllic Antigua features Spanish colonial architecture and manicured parks; Semana Santa — Antigua is famous for its celebration of Easter Holy Week, and the entire city participates in the dramatic and colorful event; Mayan ceremony — within the Iximche ruin is an extremely important site where a local shaman will perform a ceremony in a Mayan language; Pacaya Volcano — drive most of the way up the volcano then scramble the last mile or so to peer into the active crater and take in the unforgettable views of the valley and three other volcanoes.

Inside Guatemala: Semana Santa, naure, and Mayan spirit : March 27-April 3; from $ 3,095 to $ 3,395

Lindblad Expeditions: Viking Saga — Norway, Scotland, the Faroes & Iceland

Let the daring saga of the Vikings inspire you to go and see something rare: a bit of unchanged past. Aboard National Geographic Explorer, you’ll retrace the route of the Vikings across the North Atlantic — sailing from Bergen, Norway, to Scotland’s northern isles and the remote Faroe Islands — to accomplish a near circumnavigation of Iceland. Taking a zigzagging route, we’ll discover striking juxtapositions: Stone Age sites at Orkney; the stunning glaciers and lava fields of Iceland; the crisp maritime architecture of Bergen, a World Heritage site; the rugged terrain and turf-roofed houses of the Faroes; the horizontal expanse of the sea as we voyage; and the vertical pour of Godafoss, the “waterfall of the gods.”

Come have an adventure of your own – in the company of the finest explorers from Lindblad and National Geographic. Join renowned modern-day explorers Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell (May 11 voyage) or renowned Broadcaster Dan Rather (May 24 voyage) on a voyage into Viking history.
