Best Jan to Apr
Sri Lanka
Mist on the tea hills. A quiet train south. A warm sea at the end of it.
The east coast is at its best from May to September. Ask us about a summer route.
Where to go when
Six places. Twelve months. The right time for each.
Choose a month. We show you where our journeys are at their best, and when the others come into season.
Best Dec to Apr
The Maldives
A seaplane over the atolls. A reef a few steps from the sand. Days measured by the tide.
From June to November, manta rays gather in Baa Atoll, in wetter weather.
Best Feb to Apr
Vietnam
Lanterns over the old town. Limestone in the mist. A country that runs north to south.
The north is at its best from October to December, and the centre in early summer.
Best Nov to Feb
Thailand
Temple bells before breakfast. Mountains in the north. Islands in a quiet sea.
From May to August, while the Andaman side is wet, the Gulf islands are the better coast.
Best Jun to Aug
Estonia
Cobbled lanes and church spires. Bogs in the morning mist. Small islands, slow days.
In December, Tallinn has its Christmas market and a snowy old town.
Best Dec to Mar
Finnish Lapland
Snow that squeaks underfoot. A sky that moves. Lakes frozen still.
In June and July the sun barely sets. From late August, the northern lights return.
