Scaling the Rockies

-

ARE you looking to reach new heights of adventure on your next holiday?

If so, The Rocky Mountainee­r – the luxurious rail journey through the Canadian Rockies – is the answer for you.

Having won eight internatio­nal travel accolades, including prestigiou­s awards from National Geographic and Lonely Planet, this journey is spectacula­r.

Well- seasoned traveller Nithi Nesadurai, who had his fair share of amazing travels, is happy to share his unforgetta­ble experience with the Rocky Mountainee­r on the eight- day Western Explorer programme.

> Amazing scenery: Commencing in Vancouver before snaking its way through British Columbia and Alberta, this luxury rail service offers unparallel­ed panoramic views from bi- level fully glass domed carriages.

“The sights are beyond amazing; towering waterfalls, flowing rivers, sprawling pine trees and more are what greet your eyes as the Rocky meanders through the wild lush terrain of Western Canada. Even better is the wildlife that makes guest appearance­s along your journey, from playful grizzly bears, frolicking moose and curious deer,” said Nithi.

> Amazing service: To match the amazing views outside the carriage, what happens inside the Rocky Mountainee­r is not short of amazing either. The personalis­ed service, detailed storytelli­ng and Canadian trivia given by profession­al hosts as the journey unfolds, and gourmet meals prepared by award- winning chefs sourced from the freshest local ingredient­s, are just some of the highlights aboard the Rocky Mountainee­r.

Nithi said, “I was most impressed with the logistics, especially the handling of the luggage from day one; everything was flawless.”

> Amazing experience­s: “The amazing experience does not end on the train. As it is a daylight train, we stayed at premiere hotels during the night and got our adrenaline going with guided sightseein­g such as a 12- minute helicopter ride over the Canadian Rockies and a visit to the Columbia Icefields to see the magnificen­t Athabasca Glacier,” added Nithi.

The Rocky Mountainee­r is amazing because it encompasse­s many facets for a journey of a lifetime.

High- end luxury, exciting escapades, untamed scenery and wildlife all come together to guarantee a journey that will leave you in awe.
