The slanting rays of the early morning sun illuminated the wide valley that lay before us. As our Sumo Grande negotiated the asphalt track, the rolling sand-colored hills loomed on both sides. The 7-km stretch between Leh Bakula Rimpoche airport showed hardly any signs of the barrenness that is associated with Ladakh.  Years of social forestation efforts have reaped dividends in the swathes of greenery and clusters of verdant poplars lining the wide highway. 7 mins reading time Share this Travelogues article from Remote Lands Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Discover sides of Asi ..read more

One of the restaurants doing most to highlight the qualities of traditional Cantonese cooking is The Chairman in Hong Kong. 4 mins reading time Share this Travelogues article from Remote Lands ..read more

One of the world’s most legendary surfers, Kelly Slater has ridden some gnarly breaks over the years. The multiple World Surf League champion was in his element as he took to the waters in Abu Dhabi last year to ride some of the most consistent waves in the world. The American had not found an anomalous surf mecca in the notoriously placid waters of the Persian Gulf. Instead, he was testing the waters at the soon-to-be-opened Surf Abu Dhabi — the world’s largest man-made wave pool — which he helped to design. The facility opened on Hudayriat Island — Abu Dhabi’s purpose-built sports and rec ..read more

Leaning out the window of a taxi, I’m looking for a cream-coloured minaret. As this vehicle takes another wrong turn, amid a warren-like Balinese town, it strikes me that it really shouldn’t be this hard to find a mosque in the world’s most populous Muslim nation. Indonesia is a giant archipelago, about 5,100km in length from east to west. Of its 18,100 islands and islets, most are Islamic. A notable exception is the one I’m exploring, Bali. Across many previous visits to Indonesia’s tourist hub, I’d never paused to ponder how unusual this situation is. Or how it came to be. So today, I’m t ..read more
