Where to go, and what it is like when you get there
City and region guides written to be used: what the place is, how it is laid out, how long it deserves, and the season that changes the answer.
One Month in India, Well Spent
A month is enough for one region done properly, not the whole subcontinent. How to choose the region, and what a sane month actually looks like.
The Overland Route Through the Mekong
Following the river by bus, boat and slow train — where the crossings are, and where the route rewards patience.
Kyoto at Walking Pace
The city rewards a slow radius. Neighbourhood by neighbourhood, on foot, away from the coach stops.
The Silk Road Cities of Central Asia
Samarkand, Bukhara, Khiva — what survives, what was rebuilt, and how to read the tilework.
Into the Himalaya: Which Valley to Choose
Different valleys, different trips. Matching altitude, season and effort to what you actually want.
Nothing filed under that pair yet — widen the region or the theme.
