Tour Itinerary

Day 01 / Singapore – Darwin

Day 02 / Darwin – Nitmiluk National Park

This morning you’ll meet your Journey Leader, Navigator and fellow travellers before heading south along the Stuart Highway towards Katherine, where we’ll enter Nitmiluk National Park. We’ll take a short break at Adelaide River and hear about the town’s involvement in the Pacific phase of World War II before stopping at Leliyn (Edith Falls), famed for its picturesque waterfalls and waterholes. It’s time to enjoy an invigorating swim in the upper or lower pools before continuing to Katherine and Nitmiluk National Park. This evening, relax on a Highlight Dinner Cruise along the Katherine River. You’ll marvel at the gorges while you spot wildlife and learn about the history and culture of the local Jawoyn people. Enjoy the peaceful ambience during the candle-lit three course buffet dinner. Tonight, sleep surrounded by nature in the comfort of your private cabin.
Accommodation: Nitmiluk Chalets
Included Meals: Highlight Dinner

Day 02 / Kakadu National Park

Next stop is Australia’s largest National Park – Kakadu. World Heritage listed, as both a cultural and natural sanctuary, Kakadu National Park is an Australian icon. We’ll veer off the sealed road and onto a gravel track for a scenic cross-country journey to Gunlom Falls, where you’ll have time for a splash in the falls (weather and season permitting) and to take in the natural beauty of the area over a delicious lunch. In the afternoon you’ll visit Nourlangie Rock, famed for its well-preserved Aboriginal rock art, some of which is believed to date back at least 20,000 years. You’ll also hear first-hand from your Journey Leader in detail, an interpretation of the art and the rich Aboriginal culture as you explore the various outdoor ‘galleries.’ In the evening, relax and enjoy the facilities of the indigenous-owned Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn – where the buildings are shaped to represent a crocodile – the region’s most famous resident!

Relax in your room’s private courtyard or balcony, unwind with a drink in the restaurant and bar or take a refreshing dip in the shaded outdoor pool. Or why not wander through the property and its on-site gallery, taking in its impressive indigenous art collection.

Accommodation: Gagudju Crocodile Holiday Inn
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Day 03 / Kakadu National Park – Mary River

If you’re an early riser there’s an option to take an early morning scenic flight over Kakadu and Arnhem Land, or, perhaps you might just want to sleep in before choosing your day of activities.

Now we’re off to the beautiful Wildman Wilderness Lodge, where you’ll stay in private safari quarters. Situated in the gorgeous Mary River Wetlands and renowned for its incredible wildlife, the property seamlessly combines comfort and chic with the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The lodge is the definition of ‘outback luxury’.

Accommodation: Wildman Wilderness Lodge
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Optional Activities

Join the group on a tour to Ubirr rock art site where you’ll see ancient rock art and take a short walk to discover remarkable views over the surrounding wetlands and escarpments from the fantastic vantage point of Ubirr. Overlooking three different habitats, there is a myriad of wildlife to spot including some of the 280 bird species that call the park home. Leaving Ubirr, you’ll visit the Bowali Visitor Centre before moving into the Mary River floodplain system.

Take a fantastic day excursion into the Aboriginal lands of Arnhem Land with Lords Kakadu and Arnhem Land Safaris.
You’ll experience a fascinating mixture of traditional and living culture. Arnhem Land is perhaps the one area in Australia where indigenous culture is still dominant, despite a long history of interaction with other cultures. A traditional Aboriginal guide will show you examples of rock art on Injalak Hill (Long Tom Dreaming). The view from the top is simply breathtaking, looking out across the floodplains and around the Arnhem Land escarpment. Later we visit the Injalak Arts & Crafts Centre where there is time to watch the traditional Aboriginal people painting and weaving pandanus baskets.

Day 04 / Mary River
Enjoy a sleep-in and wake up to a leisurely breakfast, before heading out mid-morning to nearby Rockhole Billabong and enjoy a wonderful and educational wildlife cruise on the Rockhole and Corroboree Billabongs. You’ll see a myriad of different bird species, spot estuarine crocodiles and simply enjoy the stunning Mary River floodplains system.

Accommodation: Wildman Wilderness Lodge
Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner

Optional Activities

Jump on a quad bike and hit the road on the Wildman Estate following the fringe of the Connellan Billabong around to
Leichhardt Point. You’ll see all kinds of wildlife and experience an exhilarating adventure. You’ll come back a bit dusty but it will have all been worth it.
Take a drive through forests to Leichhardt Point, stopping for refreshments and to watch the sun go down over the wetlands.

Take an educational guided cultural walk with an Aboriginal guide at the edge of the wetlands. Meandering through termite fields and freshwater mangroves, you’ll get a unique insight into the wetland ecosystem and the culture of the land’s traditional owners. You might even find some bush tucker along the way.
Relax in the comfort of your safari quarters or by the swimming pool.

Days 05 / Litchfield National Park & Darwin
Today we head out of the Mary River system and journey crosscountry via the unsealed Marrakai Track (seasonally accessible), through cattle stations and back country to Litchfield National Park. We’ll enjoy a picnic in Litchfield and in the afternoon a swim at Florence Falls. We’ll also visit Wangi Falls and hear about its importance in Aboriginal custom before we travel across the Finniss River and back into Darwin, where your Mysterious North inspiring journey comes to an end.

Casitas & Villas

An island resort since December 1993, Amanpulo’s 40 casitas are twin-roofed bungalows in hillside and beachfront settings, loosely modelled after the Philippine bahay kubo (native dwelling). Decorative interior details reflect the islands: pebblewashed walls, coconut-shell tables, rustic Palawan rice and knife baskets, a king-size bed with a rattan headboard and sliding-glass doors that reveal outdoor decks and his-and-her divans. The large Cebu marble bathroom features twin vanities, separate changing areas, a shower and an elegant bathtub lit by large windows with wooden shutters.

Each casita comes with a buggy for unlimited island exploration.

Beach Casitas

Amanpulo’s 29 Beach Casitas each have private pathways that leads directly onto a white-sand beach. The beach is an uninterrupted wide stretch of fine sand with views over the neighbouring islands.

Treetop Casitas

The four Treetop Casitas are situated above the tree-line, on higher ground.

Hillside Casitas

There are five Hillside Casitas with unimpeded sea views.

Deluxe Hillside Casitas

The resort’s two Deluxe Hillside Casitas offer the most spectacular panoramas of the Sulu Sea and neighbouring islands with both sunrise and sunset views.

Villas

Private villa homes located just a few metres from the sea are available for rent and purchase at Amanpulo. Each villa features a private swimming pool and offers separate bedroom, living and dining pavilions, an outdoor lounge and a kitchen. One-, two- and four-bedroom villas are available. All villas come with a cook and housekeeper, and a number enjoy beautiful garden settings. Villa guests enjoy full use of all Amanpulo facilities and services.

About Shakti Sikkim

The Shakti Sikkim Village Experience is quite simply the most authentic way to unravel the wonders of this unspoilt, rural and naturally breathtaking corner of India’s Himalayan region.

Located in the heart of rural Sikkim, these village houses offer the best chance to get off the beaten track in this wonderful part of India and interact with the thoroughly welcoming local communities who live in this region.

The concept of the Village Walks is to facilitate an authentic ’underfoot’ experience and provide a ’snapshot’ of rural life in the Himalayan Mountains of Sikkim. The walks traverse the terraced foothills with overnight ’home stays’ in various villages. As an honoured guest, the locals are keen to share their way of life with you so you can encounter life as it is. Accommodation is basic, although clean and comfortable, but does not detract from the authenticity of the experience. Any shortcomings are more than compensated for by the genuine warmth of your hosts.

There are 3 houses in total, all of which can accommodate 4-6 people at any one time. They all have ensuite western bathrooms and are carefully furnished by the Shakti team who have delicately blended the charm of a local village house experience with the needs and desires of a western guest. The villages are within a day’s walk from each other (although there is a short drive involved from Sangdyang Lee to Hee).

The houses are simple, but this is more than made up for by the warmth of the local community and the chance to mingle in villages that few tourists ever come to visit. As with all Shakti walks, you are fully escorted by a team who are always there to make sure your experience more than matches your expectations, including a guide, sherpas and a chef. The walks are on a fully inclusive basis meaning all your meals and alcohol are included. It is highly recommended that you try the locally brewed wine, known as Shin-Lee, Ghaar/Raksi and Thongba.

The village houses are located in Yangsum, Sangdyang and Hee – all of which are away from the main roads in quiet and peaceful locations. The Shakti Sikkim Village Walks will expose you to more dramatic snow capped mountains than the walks in Uttaranchal, and also let you witness the prevalent Tibetan Buddhism which thrives in this area – morning prayers at Rinchenpong Monastery are a real highlight. Along the way you will no doubt catch sight of Khachenjunga, the third highest mountain in world, and other amazing mountain vistas (weather permitting). But above all, it is the simple interaction with the local communities that will really make this trip so memorable, and by getting into the heart of this superb part of India you will find out how truly mesmerising Sikkim actually is, that for too.

Located in the North East of India, the Buddhist Kingdom of Sikkim shares borders with Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal and is nestled in the heart of India’s Eastern Himalayan range. Sikkim has a uniquely diverse landscapes and a cultural mosaic under the looming presence of the world’s third highest mountain, Kanchenjunga (8,598m).

Shakti 360° Leti

The little known Kumaon region lies in the northern hill state of Uttarakhand. It offers some of the most stunning mountain scenery that we know of anywhere, from the perennially snow capped peaks of the Great Himalaya range in the north to the pretty hill stations at the foothills.

Shakti 360˚ Leti is located in the Bageshwar district north of where our Kumaon villages are.

An innovative combination of traditional building techniques and contemporary design, Shakti 360° Leti is set in a stunning mountain wilderness at 8,000 feet. It is a place where you can take time to reflect, and allow the space, peace and beautiful landscape to work their magic around you.

Indoors, there’s gourmet cooking, fine wine and a cozy fireplace, as well as beds adorned with pashmina blankets and fluffy duvets. Outdoors there are mountain walks, treks and camping experiences. Laze in planter’s chairs and enjoy the views and sunshine or maybe pack fishing gear and a picnic lunch and hike down to the river. Yoga and meditation sessions can be arranged on request as well.

With only four private guest pavilions and a main lounge-dining area, the resort is ideal for a unique escape into serenity, without forgoing luxury and comfort.

Shakti 360° Leti is available from October 01 to April 30 the following year.

Touring Calcutta

Full-day “Glenburn Experience in Calcutta”

• 06:45 Your walking guide will meet guests at the hotel lobby
• 07:00 Heritage Walk of Dalhousie Square, now a World Heritage Site. The walk takes place in the morning so that you can leisurely take in the architecture and history of the city’s many unique and spectacular buildings without any traffic on the roads. There is an option to begin at The Flower Market on the River Hoogly – where it really “all” began. The walk then starts at the site of the terrible ‘Black Hole’… takes you past the famous Writer’s Building, the former HQ of the infamous East India Company, around the square to, among others, the magnificent Governor’s House and the almost forgotten Charnock Mausoleum. The whole experience takes you back to the 18th and 19th century when the British ruled the entire subcontinent from Calcutta – at that time the most fashionable city in the world after London. It is also a chance to experience a special side of the city as it is waking up in the morning with many interesting city characters to interact with along the way.
• 10:00 “Breakfast at Bomti’s” –offers a rare glimpse of the old Calcutta way of life, now sadly endangered. Mr Surojit ‘Bomti’ Iyenger, an art collector and socialite, is delighted to welcome visitors to his charming flat in perhaps the most interesting heritage building on historic Chowringhee. Authentic and home-cooked Bengali cuisine served up with hot cups of fresh Darjeeling tea and stimulating insights into Bengali Art (with some for sale) and Modern Kolkata make up Bomti’s salon.
• 12:30 Shopping and sightseeing with Devika Duncan (a break at the hotel can also be taken). Sightseeing could include The Marble Palace, The Park Street Cemetery, The Indian Museum and/or The Victoria Memorial. Shopping could include local handicrafts, jewellery, textiles (including the famous Bengal Katha stitch work), antique furniture, food, spices and books.
• 16:00 Boat cruise up the River Hoogly. In a private river boat, guests are able to discover a hitherto unseen side of Kolkata, with a ring-side view of the myriad happenings on the river’s ‘Ghats’. This was the view that greeted many a 19C adventurer as he stepped up to the Princep’s Ghat. You will sail past Belur Math, headquarters of The Ramakrishna Mission, as the city’s two huge and famous bridges, Howrah and Vidyasagar Setu pass overhead.
• 18:30 Return to your hotel.
