Touring Nepal is more complicated than you think.

If you are touring the whole of the country the best month to visit Vietnam is April.   Climate differences between north and south vary dramatically, with the north experiencing quite cold (and often misty) weather November through to March. May onwards can be too hot and July to December in the south is humid […]

  Those using Google today will see a symbol of Hoi An, an ancient town in the middle of Viet Nam, that Angel Holiday travellers visit. We’re running our trip to Viet Nam again next April if you might like to register interest. The symbol on Google, illustrates the heart of the old centre, where […]

For those coming with us to Vietnam, the food will make an interesting addition on our tour.  We’ve made the trip B&B on several nights, allowing you to go out and explore, rather than being stuck with hotel food (not that it’s bad either). Vietnam is much more than noodles, rice and chicken, hot pots […]

Nepal: and for those joining our tour this year, you’ll also witness Deshain, the most important event in the Nepalese calender. Put simply, this is a festival that marks the coming together of families, the beginning of the new year, all combined in a Nepalese Christmas. Nepal has been locked away from the outside world […]

VIETNAM: and for those coming with us next April, you might like to watch this short video in which the late Anthony Bourdain, visits the ‘Lunch Lady’ a very simple food stall in central Saigon.
