There’s never a bad time to travel in South East Asia. Most months of the year you will experience both sunshine and possibly some rain. It’s usually quite hot and humid most of the time, but it can occasionally get cold, especially in the north of Vietnam between November and February, so it’s always best to bring a couple of warm layers with your summer clothing.
This is a backpacker style trip, aimed at those happy to stay in nice, clean budget 2-3 star style hotels, guesthouses, local homestays and an overnight train. Our homestays are quite rural so expect some bumpy roads, western but basic amenities and more bugs and wildlife in the area. Cambodia is less 'touristy' than other parts of South East Asia, which adds to it's magic and wonder. Our hotels in the cities are clean and comfortable with pools and western amenities. On the islands, the community live a more basic life, so expect more basic accommodation and less reliable infrastructure.
We experience a lot of Asia in our 38 days, so expect some longer travel days, and a variety of public and private transport, including an overnight train.
Delicious vegetarian cuisine is plentiful in Asia, however strict gluten free and vegan options can be harder as egg and fish sauce are common ingredients. But we will do our best to provide suitable options. A wide variety of Western meals is not always common, however the authentic local food is outstanding!
This trip includes an overnight trek to the Hill tribes of Chiang Mai, which requires an average level of fitness.

Travelling solo on a group tour can be one of the most exciting ways to experience a new destination, and you won't have to wait around for your mates to be ready. You leave yourself open to meeting amazing people, making new friends, and can keep yourself and your onward travel plans flexible.
The majority of our group members are solo travellers, so joining one of our group tours is a great way to meet people and make friends. Before your trip starts we'll put you in touch with the rest of your group so you can start chatting and get to know each other. And after the trip a lot of people continue travelling with the new friends they've made!
