WHERE THE SUBLIME & SPIRITUAL MEET Putting the phone down felt negligent. You stood slack-jawed as the wooden junk cruised into Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay and an endless vista of limestone islets soaring from emerald waters appeared. You questioned your decision to participate in a Buddhist meditation excursion until the instructor’s calm direction had you truly living in the moment. And oh, what a moment. Free time followed that spiritually rejuvenating session, as did the photos. An appreciation for the natural mingling of breathtaking moments and a sense of the spiritual will grow as you travel throughout Asia. Read on for adventures in Bali that soothe body and soul, a guided tour of the astounding temples of Angkor, multi-sensory immersions in great Japanese cities like Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, and so much more.
