Khiri Travel announced the launch of two major series of tour products ahead of its appearance at this year’s ITB Berlin.
The first is Asian city day tours that engage all five senses, while the second is a series of multi-day colonial travel experiences where guests enjoy stays in charming mansions and hotels from the era of 19th-century European explorers in Asia.
The senses series has been launched in five countries: Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
The company hopes to expand the program later to Laos, the Philippines, and Myanmar.
In each of the private, guided tours, guests will experience sights such as sunsets from golden stupas, the aroma of fresh turmeric while making a herbal drink, the sound of Balinese gamelan or Sri Lankan baila music, incredible flavors, and physical sensations from massages or yoga sessions.
Heritage Tours for a Touch of History
Khiri Travel also launched a series of heritage and history tours ranging from nine to thirteen days across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Laos.
These tours focus on colonial-era mansions, antique decor, and grand estates dating back to the times of Henri Mouhot, Francis Garnier, and others.
Guests will stay at heritage-era buildings repurposed as hotels, such as The Phoenix Hotel in Yogyakarta, Azerai La Residence in Hue, 137 Pillars in Chiang Mai, and Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan.
Additionally, they will receive expert insights from historians like Francis Engelmann in Luang Prabang and in Hoi An, Rehahn, an award-winning photographer specializing in Vietnam’s ethnic groups.
Sofia Tan, Khiri Travel’s group product coordinator, stated: “Whether you are an architecture enthusiast, a history lover, or just seeking a time-traveling experience, our history and heritage mansion tours promise a deep connection to the elegance, intrigue, and timeless beauty of Asia’s colonial past.”
