The vast continent of Asia stirs the soul with promises of mystery and enchantment. Kola Nut Travel has focused on four countries in the Orient. Our goal is to provide a quality experience at an affordable price, for vacations that are neither too long nor too short. Our itineraries are typically from 9 to 12 days or longer and include major sites and plenty of shopping opportunities. We enjoy close relationships with our colleagues abroad who are there to welcome you, from the time you step off the plane to the day you depart for home again. But we are not limited to the selections shown here. If you are interested in a trip elsewhere, such as Japan or India, please contact us and we will find a package that suits your needs from one of our travel partners. China’s cultural riches and 5000 years of tumultuous history place it, without doubt, among the world’s greatest travel destinations. The Great Wall, X’ian’s Terracotta Army, the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square: the very names reverberate with history and legend. Shanghai’s skyscrapers contrast with Beijing’s historical treasures, while in rural provinces, mechanization has not yet reached many traditional farming villages. This is the land of the Yangxi River, the Silk Route and the bamboo forests of the panda.  A holiday in Thailand can combine the beauty of the Golden Triangle’s temples and remote hill tribes north of Chiang Mai, the beaches of Phuket and more pristine Krabi, and the dynamic capital Bangkok with its futuristic high-rise buildings juxtaposed against the exquisite beauty of the gleaming Grand Palace. In every town and city, bargain-hunters thrive in the street markets crammed with all manner of goods, where good-natured bartering is the norm. The famous and magnificent temples at Angkor are the premier attraction in Cambodia. This ancient and astounding temple complex is what remains of the capital of the once mighty Khmer civilization. Angkor Wat is spread over 77 square miles, with more than 70 important temples. It is hailed as one of the most extraordinary architectural creations ever built, with its intricate bas reliefs, strange acoustics and magnificent soaring towers. Phnom Penh is often overlooked by visitors to Cambodia but this capital city has an old world charm with its colonial buildings, wide boulevards, pagodas and riverside walks. Vietnam, a name too long associated with the horrors of war, has finally won its last battle – to capture the imagination of the traveling public. Elegant Hanoi now vies with its dynamic sister, Ho Chi Minh City (still fondly called Saigon by the locals), for the attention of visitors drawn by the eclectic mix of old and new. Elsewhere, the scenes are timeless. Early morning on the Mekong Delta brings the daily floating markets where fruit and vegetables are peddled. Everywhere the green patchwork of rice paddies stretches into the distance. The soaring mountains in the north of the country tower over tiny villages where life continues much the way it has for centuries. TOP Contents © Kola Nut Travel, Inc. * All Rights Reserved
