My travel specialist stepped in and gave many options, reworked itineraries and camps as needed, and offered excellent advice along the way. In many ways, he went above and beyond.
Spice Village
Kerala, India
Prices From: $308
Curling around a misty ridge 2,000 ft high in the Periyar fastness, we found an arborarium, one man's personal forest, with fruit trees, rare herbs and a profusion of flowering plants.
And here, we set out to build a resort. A village, produced whole, using mountain spirit and tribal wisdom as building material.
Your cottage is brick and log, the roof thatched with the same elephant grass used in tribal huts, woven in the same traditional techniques. Of course, the comforts of a modern hotel exist, but they never intrude. Modern plumbing, comfortable beds and hot showers find their place, but in a setting stripped down to its natural essence. Hewn stone replaces shag carpets. Birdsong takes the place of television. Air-conditioning? Unnecessary anyway in the fine mountain climate, and what would it do but mask the heady scents of spice forests?

I just returned from a 5 week long trip to Australia, Japan and China. My travel specialist at Global Basecamps arranged all of my hotels, guides and excursions. I had never been to Asia and was traveling on my own and it was amazing! All of the hotels were beyond my expectations and in great parts of the cities. All of the recommendations of places to go and things to see were great. The guides I had in China were very knowledgable, fun and went above and beyond what they needed to do. I have recommended Global Basecamps and will definitely be using them in the future!
