New
Zealand is a country of rare beauty: glacial mountains, fast-flowing

The largest city, Auckland,
enjoys a diverse culture. Visit its many islands, or simply ascend the Sky

has a deep sense of history and Maori culture. This combined with a

Taiwan
- is situated about 160 kilometers off the southeastern coast of the Chinese
mainland, and between Korea and Japan in the north and The Philippines to
the south. The island has always been known as one of the most beautiful in
the Pacific. The Portuguese called it Ilha Formosa, which means "The
Beautiful Isle". With its mountains that rise up high above the
green-forested foothills, its terraced flatlands and coastal plains and
basins and foremost with its friendly generous people, it's almost
"paradise" .
It is not just the breathtaking scenery with waterfalls, lakes, hot
springs or misty hillsides that make Taiwan well worth a visit. Pagodas and
temples build on a culture that goes back beyond the beginning of western
civilization. Next to nature and tradition there's also the modern Taiwan
with skyscrapers that almost reach into heaven, with their feet firmly
planted in a chaotic stream of traffic. Whatever you're looking for, you can
probably find it in here.
If you visit the capital city of
Taipei, even if you're just passing through take a day or two to look
around and to visit the Yangmingshan National Park. Other major cities are
Taichung and the industrial city of
Kaohsiung. (They are invariably heavily polluted, dirty, over-crowded,
lacking sidewalks).
The most beautiful natural regions are Central Cross-Island Highway, the
Hsitou's bamboo forests, Sun Moon Lake, Kenting National Park and the Yushan
National Park and of course there's Yushan (Jade Mountain), Alishan and
Taroko Gorge.
If you think you have seen the whole island you also have to discover the
Penghu Islands, off the southwestern coast of Taiwan. Ancient temples,
picturesque farms and windswept fishing villages, friendly people, fine
beaches, coral reefs, and rugged coastlines are just a few keywords to get
your attention. This is a great place for all kinds of water sports and
don't forget to try the fresh seafood!

and Pamukkale, known for its mineral springs. Caves and awesome rock
formations can be found at Cappadocia.

Israel
is a modern and fascinating country, and we have some great accommodation
specials for you.
To fully appreciate Israel though, visit the cosmopolitan city of
Tel Aviv, go diving in the Red
Sea, explore some great national parks or simply float around for hours in
the salty Dead Sea.
Less than a 100 years old, Tel Aviv is the financial capital, yet a fun
and vibrant place. Visit the oriental Yemenite Quarter or the beachfront
condos.
No trip is complete without a visit to the
Dead Sea. Not only is it
impossible to sink, it will do wonders for your body. It’s also close to Ein
Gedi – an attractive oasis with freshwater springs, waterfalls and tropical
vegetation.
Perhaps you’d rather hike the Maktesh Ramon crater in the Negev or
various trails in the Golan. There are riding centres in the Galilee and Tel
Aviv areas, good windsurfing, sailing and waterskiing opportunities at
numerous beaches and amazing diving at Caesarea.

Nepal
- There are few places on the planet like Nepal, a country of such
delightful contrasts and diversity, that most visitors are tempted to return
to it again and again. The fact that it was remotely located and closed to
the world until the 1950s lends it an added sense of mystery.
Nepal has the world's highest mountain, its deepest gorge and highest
lake. Needless to say, it is a mountaineer's delight.
Adventure-seekers will find
enough in Nepal to sustain a lifetime's passion for the Great Outdoors. It's
scenic splendor, wildlife, arts, crafts and people attract visitors from the
furthest corners of the world, many of who end up staying for good. Perhaps
one of its greatest advantages is that Nepal caters to travelers and
tourists of every budget and varying interests. Nepal has something for
everyone - backpacking budget travelers, shoppaholics, New Age Nirvana
seekers, and business-tycoons….
