Lose yourself in Arashiyama’s Bamboo Grove, where towering green stalks, soft light and the rustle of leaves creates a journey through Kyoto’s timeless beauty.

Ringed by tea estates and emerald rainforests, Kandy, Sri Lanka is a must-see — famed for its sacred Buddhist sites and centered around the idyllic Kandy Lake.
