It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Madagascar with us.
Madagascar is home to six species of baobab trees. The largest of these trees can grow up to nearly 100 feet tall. These iconic trees are currently classified as endangered and are protected. The flat, crown tops are often the only things visible against the sky because of their height. © Dennis Van De Water | Dreamstime.com
The seas around Madagascar provide calving and breeding habitats for humpback whales. Visiting Madagascar between July and September makes for optimal whale watching, particularly in the channel between Madagascar and Ile Ste Marie. © Andrey Gudkov | Dreamstime.com

One of Madagascar’s most well-known animals is the lemur. The sifaka, one of the largest lemurs on the planet, are only found in Madagascar and are a threatened species. These agile creatures rely on vast forest cover and require protection. Heading into the northeastern forests might promise a few sightings. © Simone Matteo Giuseppe Manzoni | Dreamstime.com
The traditional Hiragasy is the official national Madagascan dance of the island and includes a day-long event of music, dance and storytelling. Dating back to the 18th century, this event sees more than 80 troupes perform throughout Madagascar. Dances vary across the different cultures, each featuring different attire and purposes. © Irishka777 | Dreamstime.com
Located in the Ilhorombe region, Isalo National Park spans more than 300 square miles. A local guide is required to enter the park, with options for guided treks lasting anywhere from a few hours to a week. Natural swimming pools and Benson’s Rock Thrush are some of the more popular sites in the park. © Paop | Dreamstime.com

Apr 17, 2024Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub
In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
