Once-in-a-lifetime experiences to consider include exploring the backwaters of little-known haven Kumarakom and visiting the 130-acre Sahakari Spice Farm in India.

Sample travel experiences to inspire you
1. Explore the Marble Mountains in Danang, Vietnam
The Marble Mountains are a cluster of five marble and limestone hills. For more active travelers, you can hike to the summit of Mount Thuy. Or if you prefer to take in the sites and sounds whilst soaking up all the natural history from the bottom of the mountains, you can enjoy shopping or riding the glass elevator up the 43-metre ascent. This is one of the most intriguing places to visit in central Vietnam, and offers sensational views and impressive caves.
2. Eat at Gunpowder in North Goa, India
Easily one of Goa’s best restaurants, this restaurant serves up heart dishes from across India’s southern coast in a quirky and cheerful colorful setting. Try their renowned masala prawns or beef stir fry!
3. Visit BASK Nest in Bali, Indonesia
Placed to act as an artificial reef, the beautiful underwater sculptures on the Gili Islands ensure that corals start to grow, which results in many fish swimming around the sculptures. At the same time, it functions as a dive and photograph site which creates jobs for the locals on the Gili Islands.
