With such a diverse world, there is no limit to the places we find captivating. This site is primarily about information and experiences, but we do occasionally organise trips to places away from the mainstream. In the past we have taken groups to Algeria and Niger in the Sahara, and ran an 'oldies' overland trip from the UK to Kathmandu. See also Africa Overland, Saudi Arabia, Iraqi Kurdistan, Chad and Lebanon. 

 

For a different overland route back from Africa to the UK, why not drive across Tibet? Doing this in our 30-year-old Land Rover was one of our most exciting adventures yet!

We've also helped bring to the page the life story of Dr Kailash Sah, the first paediatric oncologist in Nepal, in paperback, hardback and Kindle: Tough Medicine. 

 

For something completely different, you can now read my father's diaries of the Second World War, which he started writing over 85 years ago, as an 11-year-old boy in North Wales: Dad's War Vol I and Dad's War Vol II, as well as a special commemorative hardback edition Dad's War Vols I & II. 

 

In 2022 we published a guide to the artists of Nepal (in paperback and hardback): Living Art of Kathmandu: A Shangri-La of Eclectic Artists

 

Our latest adventures in 2023 were to Iraq and Yemen guidebook and Yemen pictorial guide
