Our Tailored Experiences

Exploring Vientiane by Bicycle

Vientiane, Laos

Vientiane’s flat, tree-lined roads and light traffic make it an ideal city to explore by bicycle. Spend a pleasant half day cycling to some of Vientiane’s most historic sites, including: Wat Sisaket, famous for its cloister wall housing thousands of tiny Buddha images; Wat Phra Keo, built in 1565 as the Lao royal family’s personal chapel with highlights including a magnificent 16 th century lacquered door with Hindu carvings, numerous Khmer stone carvings and a variety of Buddha statues; the 44m (147ft) high gold-covered That Luang, Lao’s most revered monument; and the Patuxai Victory Monument, dedicated to those who fought in Laos’ struggle for independence from France. Notice its unmistakable resemblance to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, but with Lao motifs.

Duration: 4hrs

Jungle Trekking Around Phou Asa Mountain

Pakse, Laos

Jungle-clad Phou Asa Mountain has long been an enigma, even to seasoned archaeologists. Spend the day uncovering the secrets of this scenic mountain and its enigmatic ruins comprised of 108 stacked stone pillars, each topped by a large flat rock.

Join a village guide to learn more about these mysterious pillars which some think were part of a jungle fort or perhaps an ancient Buddhist monastery to go along with the “Buddha’s footprint” carved into the rock face below. Summit the mountain for outstanding views of southern Laos. Along the way, walk along forest trails while learning how to spot signs of wildlife as well as indigenous medicinal plants. Lunch is included in this adventurous day trek.

Duration: 7hrs

Kuang Si Waterfalls Jungle Trek with Picnic Lunch

Luang Prabang, Laos

One of Luang Prabang’s must-see sights is the incredible Kuang Si Waterfalls, known for their picturesque cascades of vibrant blue water. Approximately 29km (18mi) south of Luang Prabang, the jungle-clad waterfalls make for an excellent day of trekking, swimming and touring.

Climb to the top of the three-tiered falls for spectacular views. Along the way, learn some jungle survival skills from your expert guide as he teaches you how to identify herbs, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other plants as well as how to fish the local way. Help prepare a traditional Lao jungle meal and enjoy a refreshing swim in one of the many natural pools. Also visit the Asian Bear Rescue Center, home to Sun Bears and Malayan Black Bears that have been rescued from bile farms or wildlife traffickers.  

Duration: 6hrs

In Search of the Lanna Heritage

Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chiang Mai has a long and storied history, stretching back more than 700 years, making it one of Thailand’s most historic cities. Established as the capital of the kingdom of Lanna or “Kingdom of a Million Rice Fields” in 1296 by King Meng Rai, Chiang Mai reached its peak in the 16 th century, when the Lanna kings ruled territory as far east as present-day Nan Province, south to Sukhothai and north to the present-day Myanmar-China border.

Embrace your role as a historian in an interactive role-playing game, searching for clues based on Chiang Mai’s history to help locate a colleague who mysteriously disappeared. Among others, learn about the 15 th century Wat Chedi Luang, one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks, as well as the history of the Golden Triangle, while engaging in this fun, educational experience.

Duration: 3.5hrs

Exploring the Scenic Pakerisan Valley

Bali, Indonesia

The Balinese are Indonesia’s most prolific rice growers thanks to a unique combination of soil, water and religion. Spend a full day cycling and trekking through Bali’s lush countryside to gain insight into the history and culture of this magnificent island. Explore the Pakerisan Valley, home to important religious sites and some of the earliest Hindu and Buddhist settlements. Visit Jagasari, Bali’s first Hindu temple dating back to the 8 th century.

Trek through rice terraces to see how subak, an ancient irrigation system, is still practised. This fascinating cooperative social system channels water through the temples and into the rice fields. Cycle through the verdant landscape to the picturesque village of Laplapan where you will enjoy lunch right in the rice fields.

Duration: 8hrs

Biking to Shan Villages

Heho, Myanmar

Spend a leisurely half day by bike and boat exploring the villages around scenic Inle Lake, home to some 10 different ethnic groups. Cycle along Inle Lake’s perimeter road, taking in pastoral scenes of local life and landscapes. With the help of your guide, interact with the villagers at Tha Le U South and North and Ale Myaung.

Also stop at Red Mountain Estate, one of two vineyards in Myanmar, for spectacular vistas back towards Nyaung Shwe and the lake beyond, a picturesque stop to enjoy a glass of locally-made wine. At Nam Pan Village, board a boat to visit a few craft villages including a floating workshop making cheroot (traditional Myanmar cigars) and a blacksmithery at Sae Kaung.

Adventure Exploring Rural Bagan

Bagan, Myanmar

Explore rural Bagan on a half-day adventure by bike and boat. Cycle through the Bagan countryside to the 10 th century Kyauk Gu U Min, said to be the entrance to an ancient tunnel leading all the way to the Pindaya caves in Shan State. Explore this atmospheric temple featuring meditation caves hewn from the rock and mural paintings from the 13 th century depicting the armies of Kublai Khan.

Cycle to a thanakha plantation to see how the bark from these trees are ground into a cosmetic paste used as sunblock favoured by Burmese women and children. Trade bicycle for boat and sail down the Ayeyarwady cruising past timeless scenes of river life in the soft glow of sunset.

Duration: 5hrs

Quadbike Riding in Rural Siem Reap

Siem Reap, Cambodia

Siem Reap is known as the gateway to the magnificent ruins of Angkor Wat. However, beyond its historic temples and lively tourist scene, Siem Reap Province is also home to almost a million people who inhabit the rural countryside, many living off the land.

Break up your temple tours with a refreshing evening quadbike excursion of the little-seen side of Siem Reap with its emerald green rice paddies, quiet dirt roads and shy but friendly villagers. Navigate your quadbike along dusty trails past stilt houses and curious cattle, taking in the sights and sounds of rural Cambodia with a stop among the rice paddies to admire the sunset.

Duration: 2-3hrs

Biking Tour to Angkor Wat

Depart for an introductory cycle to Angkor Wat, one of the modern wonders of the world. Stroll through the intricately carved hallways that still show hundreds of fine carvings of Apsara and Hindu mythology and discover small shrines still in use today by the local people. Continue cycling around the complex taking in the views of this ancient empire.

Exploring Monkey Mountain

Danang, Vietnam

Jutting out into the turquoise waters of the East Sea, just 10 km from the centre of Danang, lies Son Tra Peninsula. The heavily forested 4,370 hectares of land protects Danang from winds, waves and storms, all under the benevolent eye of the Goddess of Mercy, an impressive 69m-high statue that has become Danang’s most recognisable landmark.

Spend the day on a 10km trek along steep, forested trails up the Son Tra Mountain, stopping for expansive views of the scenic Danang coastline. Keep an eye out for the rare Red Shanked Doucs, a shy primate species which led American soldiers to dub the area “Monkey Mountain”. At the 696m-high summit, spot the radar domes and the old helicopter pad that once belonged to the American Air Base in Danang.

Their expertise in crafting personalized tours ensured that our itinerary was completed to perfection. The excellent customer service we received from the team made us feel well taken care of throughout the trip. The seamless services provided by Asia Links Travel allowed us to relax and enjoy every destination without worry.

Our honeymoon in Vietnam wasn't just romantic, it was like stepping into a history book - and Asia Links Travel was our expert tour guide! We had them customize the "Journey to the Past" itinerary since we’re both history lovers. The guides at each stop made us feel like we were living in a history book.

Forget dusty buses and crowded tours - Asia Links Travel showed us Cambodia in its true beauty! We cycled through lush rice paddies, kayaked along serene rivers, and even cruised down the mighty Mekong in a comfy boat powered by! Recommend this agency for Indochina trips.

My family booked a trip to Ninh Binh in Jan and was completely happy with what we got. They took care of everything from transfer to hotels, even the tiniest thing on our trip. Thank you for your services.

A friend introduced this company to me. Ms Ly from Asia Links Travel gave me thoughtful advice and created a suitable itinerary with her astonishing knowledge. My fav is Ha Long Bay, the scenery is very majestic. I will come back soon to visit more places!

21 days Thailand, Laos, Vietnam & Cambodia

Our 21 day tour was excellent. We were picked up at the airports, the hotels etc spot on time. Our guides (particularly Ann) were amazing. They were so accommodating. Because there were only two of in our group we were able to see and do so much more. We went to several villages, went to numerous schools, went to lotus farm, etc etc etc. the accommodations were fine, rooms clean and beds comfortable. I would not hesitate to travel with Hoi An express in the future

Southeast Asia Encompassed

I've traveled to Southeast Asia and to South America with G Adventures on 'Classic' style tours, and both trips were wonderful. I traveled solo, but I found like-minded travelers in my group. All the logistics are taken care of so you can just enjoy the experience. The CEOs and local guides make sure you know what to expect, what's needed, optional activities, meal suggestions, etc. for each day. There was a good balance of scheduled activities and free time with flexibility to seek your own interests. Accommodations were mostly clean and comfortable. Overall very good value for the money, in my opinion. Also, G makes a point to give back to local communities and provide local cultural experiences not often found with other group tours. If you want to see the major sites, but also dive a bit deeper, without the hassle of doing all the legwork yourself, find a G Adventures tour and go!

The best tour we could have booked! Very informational, efficient in giving us the tour and very accommodating. We had the best time with him!

Glimpse Of Indochina In 16 Days (Vietnam,Cambodia,Thailand,Laos)

In Total the trip was good in that we were able to see a part of the world that we had never and might never again) see. However there were various things that were surprises to us. The fact that it was our responsibility to check in for flights booked by Tour Radar was a surprise and added a level of stress in the midst of the trip that could have been dealt with by advance communication or by Tourradar offering another element to the package which includes a concierge type service which gets boarding passes (ie could use the in country tour guides). Not all hotels had staff that could communicate effectively (if at all) in English which would have made the first days in a city easier . Finding good restaurants, ATMs, drug stores etc. Some of your guides were helpful in providing a lot of that information when they dropped us off at the hotel. Chang our Bangkok guide did not do that and with th e challenges of hotel staff to communicate , our first day or two in Bangkok was the low point of our tour. Also the next day city tour was poorly done and the length of the tour could have been extended a little so the city tour was more comprehensive. Also I am told Thailand is a beautiful country but we saw nothing of the beauty that might have made Thailand famous. We enjoyed the Hare Residence in Siem Reap and would suggest keeping it in the program.. Also Laos was enjoyable , as was the hotel but the only suggestion would be to add or provide the opportunity for a visit to see one of the elephant reserves near to Luang Prabang. A city tour of Na Noi (and Saigon) would have been good to include. We came early so were able to book our own tours in Ha Noi but feel we really did not see Saigon at all. Overall the trip was good. I would suggest (as previously mentioned) a concierge type service for older travellers and maybe expanding the tour groups to 8-10 would make that more cost effective

Amazing Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam 18 days

Just finished my Amazing 18 day tour of Thailand, Vietnam & Cambodia, and ‘Amazing’ is definitely the right word!!! The whole tour was well planned & well run. Special thanks to Ha Nguyen for being in constant email contact with me, advising me of the coming days activities, pickup times & tour details, which was very much appreciated. Daily group tours were fantastic, the drivers & tour guides were so caring, courteous & always very helpful. Thanks also to a special tour guide- Hen Chenda for looking after me at Angkor Wat! Each country had its highlights - too many to mention, but all a delightful experience. Every accommodation was top class, with beautiful rooms, meals were also top quality. I would highly recommend this tour & company. Thanks for the beautiful memories. Cheryl Craig, Australia

Overall a good and very interesting trip. Good snap shot of the area and plenty of time to explore yourself too. If you want to see more of the real Cambodia then a longer

Asian Adventure (16 Days)

The Asia Adventure trip was truly a trip of a lifetime and made all that much better by Talia! No matter what hour of the day/night or regardless if we were sleep deprived or hangry she always remained that consistent bubbly, smiley, hilarious person that she is and never failed to make me smile with her stories and Aussie banter!

Endless Beauty of Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand - 19 Days

Tour is well organized and covers a number of highlights in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand. I should have realized how many flights there were given the distance between these highlights. All in all a very good tour.

Thai Experience

I had an incredible experience with Intro Travel on the 13-day Thai experience tour. Our group leader, Dan W, was absolutely amazing - his passion for Thailand and dedication to ensuring we had a great time was evident in everything he did. Not only did I make lifelong friends on this trip, but I also learned so much about the country through Dan’s “fun facts.” Any issues were handled promptly and professionally by Dan, who always maintained a friendly and approachable presence. Cleanliness was maintained through all of the breath taking accommodation. We had the honour of experiencing Songkran during our tour which is definitely a highlight of the trip, an experience I will never forget - with the pleasure of experiencing it with the most amazing people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering booking - I have already put down a deposit on my next trip, and if you get Dan as your leader, consider yourself very lucky, hopefully I’ll see him in Sri Lanka! Five stars all the way!⭐️

Northern Thailand Adventure

Eve and Smile are a very good duo, Smile is the caring one, Eve is the party animator and together they are a good mix! Both are very helpful and want only the best for us! Super tour guide! For the paid price of the trip, however, there could have been more food integrated. In addition, the extra dinners offered in the group were in places that were less spectacular and yet a bit more expensive. This could be changed. Either to really great location with hammer view and more expensive or just continue to markets at hünstige prices. Kind regards Linda

• Island Hopping

Thailand Island Hopper

Vanezza, what an incredible person. Someone who never switched off 24/7 for the 17days, she would stay up all night to make sure people got home to then wake up for early activities. If anyone ever needed anything she would be right on it finding the answer! Not only a tour guide, but someone I would value as a friend! Always up for a laugh and pushing people to get the best experience and memories which would last a lifetime! She made the tour!

Cambodia Intro

I’ve done a lot of tours with a lot of different tour companies, and this was one of my most favorite tours I’ve ever done! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The guides were amazing and the accommodations were perfect. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough !! It was absolutely amazing!

What people love about Indochina Tours

This was my first time ever travelling without family and it was amazing! One of the best months of my life. Our CEO Tong was brilliant and full of knowledge about where we were going and what we would be doing. He made sure to have enough time for anyone and helped in anyway he could to make things run smoothly for everyone on tour including myself. If you go on this tour, make sure you ask for Tong or (Phanet Tep) as your CEO!

Everything worked as planned. Great tour and amazing guides

had a great trip. our guide was oustanding. we've been on several g trips,this itinerary and daily schedule kept us busy and always interested. would reccomend this trip for anyone interested in this part of the world.

Mount Ruang Erupts in Indonesia, Spewing Lava Thousands of Feet Into the Sky

Hundreds of earthquakes were detected in the weeks preceding the eruption of the volcano in North Sulawesi province. Hundreds of people were evacuated.

By Christine Hauser

Mount Ruang, a volcano in Indonesia, erupted on Tuesday, spewing fiery lava and ash thousands of feet into the night sky and forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people in the North Sulawesi province, according to the authorities and local news reports.

The volcano erupted at about 7:19 p.m. local time, Antara, the national news agency, reported. The country’s National Disaster Mitigation Agency said on Wednesday that more than 800 people in nearby villages were displaced by the eruption, many using ferries and taking shelter in churches and community centers.

The authorities said supplies such as mats, blankets, cleaning materials, and tents were needed, and that more shelters might be opening for people fleeing the volcano.

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago nation. It is spread across what is known as the Ring of Fire, where tectonic plates clash under the surface of the Pacific Ocean and spawn earthquakes and eruptions from volcanoes.

Mount Ruang is a stratovolcano , or a steep, conical volcano that has built up over years in layers from explosive eruptions of lava, rock fragments, ash and other properties.

“It is in a part of the world where there are a lot of active volcanoes,” said Dr. Tracy K.P. Gregg , who chairs the geology department at the University at Buffalo.

Its last major eruption was in 2002, when the column of lava and ash that it spewed reached up to 17 miles, Dr. Gregg said.

She said the volcano in 2002 measured 4, a “large” volcano on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, a scale used to measure the strength of an eruption by looking at several factors, such as duration, ash volume and plume height. Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991 measured 6 on the index. Mount St. Helens in the United States in 1980 measured 5.

“So it is a little bit smaller than that,” she said of Mount Ruang. Right now, it is not as violent as the previous eruption, she added, but the volcano cannot be fully assessed while it is in progress.

More than 300 volcanic earthquakes were detected over a period of at least two weeks preceding the eruption of Mount Ruang.

It is not immediately clear why the volcano erupted when it did. “Every volcano has its own personality,” she said.

In the past few years, several volcanoes in Indonesia have erupted. In December, 2023, the bodies of 11 hikers were found on the slopes of Mount Marapi on the island of Sumatra, after an eruption that spewed an ash column of nearly 3,000 meters — about 10,000 feet high.

In December 2022, more than 1,900 people were evacuated from the area surrounding Mount Semeru as it erupted. In an eruption there the previous December , more than 50 people were killed and hundreds more were injured.

Travel + Leisure / Madison Woiten

As an avid traveler and outdoor enthusiast, I’m always looking for destinations that have a lot of opportunities to be active. Hiking, biking, kayaking, rafting, scuba diving — I do it all and I love it all. So, when I heard that Intrepid Travel was offering a hiking, biking, kayaking Sri Lanka trip, I signed up immediately, and quickly started putting together a packing list . 

Since each activity required its own gear, I had to put a lot of thought into what I brought on the three-week-long adventure. And, because I’d prefer to not be hauling around multiple massive suitcases, I always travel light with items that work well across multiple activities — say, leggings that are great for both hiking and biking , a poolside cover-up that doubles as an everyday shirt or dress, and hiking sneakers that could be worn from the trail to the city streets . I also had to take Sri Lanka's wonderfully warm climate into account (luckily, I was visiting during the dry season, but I knew rain was still possible); this meant that I'd need clothing that was moisture-wicking, cooling, and quick-drying . 

Whether you’re heading to Mexico, Morocco, or Machu Picchu (or you’re lucky enough to visit Sri Lanka), here’s what you’ll need for your next active trip this spring or summer. This foolproof packing list will keep you comfortable, dry, and safe on the trails, roads, and rivers so you can focus on having fun. 

Arc’Teryx Women’s Beta LT Jacket

I will be the first to admit that this is one crazy expensive jacket, but having worn it on hundreds of miles of hikes over the past year, I’ll add that it is 100 percent worth the price. The beauty of this jacket is that it is ultralight and breathable, so you can wear it during hot and humid hikes in Sri Lanka (which I did). But, it comes equally in handy for cold-weather hikes and snowshoe treks in Yellowstone (which I also did) when layered over fleece. Instead of stuffing your closets with multiple jackets to wear at different times of year, you just need this one awesome jacket. 

Typically, the more waterproof a jacket is, the heavier and less breathable it is, but Arc’Teryx has managed to make this insanely lightweight jacket 100 percent waterproof, which is why the price is higher than lesser-quality jackets. This way, you stay dry without totally overheating and sweating. Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof, and I was very grateful that this jacket is fully waterproof , as it got me through several rainy days in Sri Lanka in February and also a wet and wild 96-mile hike in the Scottish Highlands last summer. I also used it for biking, kayaking, rafting, and walking around town. It might not ever need to buy another jacket again — it’s that good.

Matador Beast 18 Technical Pack

Though the pack is called “technical” — and this definitely is a technical pack — don’t let the name fool you; you don’t have to be a super technical hiker trekking through the backwoods to appreciate this pack. Yes, it has all of the convenient features that you need for a hiking pack, such as plenty of pockets, water bottle sleeves, and straps to attach your hiking poles, but this also shines as a good everyday pack. I do use it for hiking, but I’ve also used it for biking since it also doubles as an excellent day bag. I wore it nearly every single day during my three weeks in Sri Lanka while touring cities and hauling my stuff to the beaches along the southern coast. 

What's more, the bag has a waterproof coating, it’s super light, and it folds down when it's not in use, so you can seamlessly fit it into your luggage and then whip it out when you arrive (I also sometimes use it as my carry-on bag to save even more suitcase space).

Smartwool Classic All-season Merino T-shirt

Merino wool is great because it is soft, durable, comfortable and it can be worn in any temperature or season. It wicks away moisture and dries quickly, which keeps you dry and cool in the summer and dry and warm in the winter. I’ve worn this shirt on hot and sweaty hikes in Tucson and Mesa, Arizona, and through chilly fall hikes in New York’s Adirondacks. This shirt was easy to wash in a hotel sink and it dried super fast, so I was able to wash and re-wear it several times in Sri Lanka.

Not all wool is ethically or sustainably sourced, so I appreciate that Smartwool uses ZQ-certified wool to ensure responsible sourcing. I also love that Smartwool is one of few outdoor brands that has truly inclusive sizing, with many of their tops and bottoms going up to a 4XL.

Smartwool Active Women’s Leggings

The name of this product perfectly describes it, as these are leggings made of wool and intended for active women. Hello, that’s me! I’ve been wearing these leggings for about a year and a half and they’ve gone all over the world with me while hiking, biking, kayaking, dancing, relaxing, and even lounging on river cruises. Like the previously mentioned Smartwool T-shirt, these leggings are also made from high-tech wool to keep you cool, wick away moisture, and dry quickly. They can also be worn year-round, regardless of the weather or temperature. 

The side drop-in pockets are perfect for holding your phone or hotel key card, and there’s also a hidden interior waist pocket where you can hide money and credit cards. Though these are designed for “active” activities, because they are slim-fitted, pretty, and available in solid colors (I have the all-black pair), they can easily be worn with a cute top for going out to dinner or walking around town. This way, I can get multiple uses out of a single pair of pants, which is also easy to rewash in the sink and hang dry overnight to rewear the next day.

Outdoor Vitals Altitude Sun Hoodie

I got this lightweight, long-sleeve “sun hoodie” two years ago for a two-week-long summer rafting trip in the Grand Canyon, and it’s still one of my favorite tops for all sorts of adventure travel. Not only is the sweatshirt rated to protect your skin against high-altitude sun, but thanks to the hood, it provides protection for your ears and neck — two areas that often get a ton of sun exposure but less attention when it comes to sunscreen application. The shirt is so light that it almost feels like wearing nothing and it dries super quickly, so it was my go-to for kayaking in Sri Lanka. I also wore it for a 25-mile bike ride through tea plantations and as a cover-up while reading at the beach.

OtterBox Symmetry Series Phone Case

When you're always on the move, you need to make sure that every part of your travel repertoire is durable — even your phone case. I prefer sleek, thin cases that offer an extra layer of defense should my phone fall out of my pocket while I'm hiking or biking, which is why I'm a fan of OtterBox's stylishly protective Symmetry cases. They provide excellent drop protection, are compatible with MagSafe charging pads, and come in a ton of fun colors and prints. 

The cases have raised edges to help protect the camera, but I also use this OtterBox antimicrobial screen protector for even more coverage. This combo worked well for me on the Sri Lanka trip (and for everyday life in New York City) because the case is thin enough to fit in my hip pouch and prevents scratches, cracks, and other drop-related damage. If you need even more protection, opt for the OtterBox Defender case , which is a bit thicker and even more rugged.

Darn Tough Lightweight Hiking Socks

Even in the best hiking shoes or boots, your feet can get sweaty and prone to blisters if you’re not wearing good socks. While you certainly can hike in the everyday cotton socks that many of us wear at home, they don’t breathe or have grip, so your feet may sweat and slide around in your shoes. Darn Tough socks are super comfortable, ultra-lightweight, made in the USA. and they come in various weights, colors, prints, and styles (no-show, ankle, crew, and knee-high). For this trip, I wore the low-cut version for cycling and walking around town, and the crew version when hiking to offer a bit more protection from plants and bugs.

Sawyer Stay-Put Sunscreen and Insect Repellent

Speaking of bugs, this two-for-one deal ensures that your insect repellent and SPF needs are covered. It’s important to wear sunscreen on vacation regardless of where you go and what you do, but it’s especially important when you’ll be active outside in the sun for many hours. Even some of the best everyday sunscreens don’t cut it when you’re hiking, biking, and kayaking because they might sweat off before you’ve even gotten started. I love the Sawyer Stay-Put Sunscreen because it does just that — it stays put . 

I have sensitive skin, so I always apply a fancy-pants facial sunscreen from my aesthetician in the morning. But when I’m traveling, I often wind up re-applying later in the day with Sawyer's Stay-Put formula so I’m not carrying around multiple types of sunscreen during the day. I’m happy to report that I’ve never had issues with my skin breaking out as a result. This combo bundle also includes their picaridin insect repellent, which I also love because it is safer and more effective than the gross-smelling DEET sprays and lotions a lot of us grew up with. I didn’t actually encounter many mosquitos in Sri Lanka, but I was still glad to have repellent with me.

Altra Lone Peak 8 Trail Running Shoes

Hands down, these are my favorite shoes in the world. Technically, they are trail running shoes, but I never run; I only use them for walking and hiking. This is the newest version of the shoe, which I started wearing a few months ago, but I’ve worn an earlier version of this shoe nearly every day for the last two years. The extra-wide toe boxes and sticky soles make them super comfy and provide a non-slip grip that was perfect for the dry, wet, and rocky trails in Sri Lanka. I also wore them for walking around the streets of capital city Colombo and while visiting tea plantations and spice gardens. Depending on the trip, these could easily be the only shoes that you'll need to pack. 

Keen Rose Active Sandals

Even though this was an active trip, I didn’t want my feet to be stuck in hiking shoes every day, so I also brought my trusty Keen hiking sandals. Keen is known for making really rugged hiking boots, shoes, and sandals that offer great grip, comfort, and support, and I love these sandals because they’re a bit softer, lighter, and prettier than traditional hiking sandals. While I do wear them for light hiking, I especially love them on multi-activity trips because they’re cute enough to be worn with dresses, skirts, or leggings and blouses. In Sri Lanka, I wore them to hike up Mini Adam’s Peak in the tea town of Ella, to visit Buddhist temples in Kandy, and during my tuk tuk tour in Colombo.

Hydro Flask Lightweight Trail Series Water Bottle

This has been my main go-to water bottle for the last two years because it’s ultra-rugged and insulated, but also impressively lightweight. While an insulated water bottle wasn’t completely necessary for this trip, I loved carrying it with me because it was more refreshing to drink cool water during a 90-degree bike ride than it was to drink stale water that had been heating up in plastic all day. I usually stuff the bottle into the side pocket of my daypack, but because it has a sturdy handle, I used a carabiner to clip it onto my kayak or raft. And while I mostly filled this bottle with cool water for hiking, biking, kayaking, beach-going, and walking tours in Sri Lanka, I filled it with hot tea for my long-haul flights to-from the country. This bottle is not cheap, but it lasts forever (I’ve literally taken it on hundreds of miles of hikes).

Grayl GeoPress Water Filter Bottle

I refuse to buy bottled water anywhere in the world because the discarded bottles are devastating to the environment, particularly in countries that lack adequate recycling facilities. I haven’t bought bottled water in over six years, and that’s precisely because I always carry this Grayl GeoPress Water Filter Bottle with me. I’ve used it to filter and drink water from rivers, streams, lakes, and waterfalls around the world, and I also used it to filter the water in my hotels in Sri Lanka. There are newer models of the Grayl filter available, but this is the one that I use; it’s fantastic with its convenient drinking spout. I usually use it to filter the water and then pour it into my insulated canteen to carry during the day.

Bajío Eldora Sunglasses

I have a few pairs of sunglasses on rotation, but for active trips, I always opt for higher-end polarized frames like these sunnies from Bajío. Why? Because they are more comfortable, they block out more sun, and they stay put on my face without adding a ton of extra weight or making me overheat. Polarized glasses are designed for people who spend a lot of time outside, especially doing activities around water and snow, which produce a lot of glare. While I’ve worn these glasses on plenty of snow hikes in Wyoming, Wisconsin, and upstate New York, they also worked beautifully for hiking, biking, and kayaking in Sri Lanka. 

They were especially important for the kayaking trip and a separate whale watching boat tour that I did because the sun’s glare off the water was so intense. I’m also a big fan of Bajío sunglasses because there are hundreds of combinations of frames and lenses. The brand also offers unique frame shapes and pretty frame and lens colors — like these stylish hot pink frames with bright blue, pink, or purple polarized lenses. 

Catherine Dress Mini Cover-up

Even though the focus of my trip to Sri Lanka was hiking, biking, and kayaking, I also spent a couple of nights at the beach and there were great pools at a lot of the hotels. Swimsuit cover-ups are handy anywhere in the world, but they are especially important in more conservative countries like Sri Lanka, where it’s not exactly polite to run around with your butt hanging out. Do some travelers do it? Yes. Do the locals appreciate it? No. I love this cover-up dress by Catherine because it works as a swimsuit cover-up at the pool and beach, but it also doubles as a cute top when paired with jeans (or my aforementioned Smartwool leggings).
