Wildlife and birdwatching 4

The lowland parks and the wetlands. Best added to a trek rather than travelled to on their own.

Cities, temples and staying with people 12

Valley towns, homestays and the places worth more than the afternoon most itineraries give them.

Remote places 8

Further out, harder to reach, and much quieter for it.
