For those who want an adventure of the transcendent kind, Exotic Voyages provides a grand 111-day spiritual journey through Asia. This unique opportunity spans 13 countries across Asia and the Middle East, and the expedition’s name, The Razor’s Edge, is inspired by W. Somerset Maugham’s 1944 novel, in which the protagonist travels overseas in search of a deeper meaning to his existence. At each destination, guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the surrounding culture. Highlights of the trip include visiting a Shinto shrine on the island of Itsukushima, Japan, to see one of the country’s most iconic torii gates, which appears to float on water; forest bathing in Mount Gyejok in South Korea; a barefoot walk along an 8.5-mile red-clay trail and a Buddhist Baci ceremony in Laos that is not offered to tourists and is believed to offer health and protection. The full itinerary covers Oman, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Korea and Japan. For those who can’t do all 111 days in one hit, Exotic Voyages offers smaller trips that can be taken over a period of time.
