Rid yourself of your everyday rigours on one of these relaxing and reviving adventures
VIETNAM Look after number one
In a hundred-miles-an-hour world, Insideasia’s Vietnam Rejuvenation tour is like hitting the pause button. Recalibrate against the backdrop of Vietnam’s natural splendour, stimulating your mind with sunrise yoga amid the emerald paddies of Cam Thanh near Hoi An and practising tai chi on the banks of Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi. Nourish your body with local farm-to-fork food in Hue and the chalk-white beaches of Phu Quoc, before soothing your soul by kicking back on a cruise through the spectacular karsts of Lan Ha Bay and cycling through the timefrozen history of Hoi An.

But Walks Worldwide offers another great reason to book yourself onto this self-guided walking trip through Austria’s Alpine Splendour. With every booking, they plant a tree that you can hike to see upon your arrival. As you breathe in the mountain air and pass through scenic valleys, you’ll be rewarded with epic views, and be sure to sample some of that traditional hearty fare while you’re on your way.
