If Uzbekistan caught your eye on the recent episode of Race Across the World, you’re not alone.

Every panel of the Shah-i-Zinda mausoleums is hand-cut, glazed, and fitted into patterns that haven't changed since Timur made Samarkand his capital in 1370. And it doesn't stop there — from the soaring minarets of Bukhara to the labyrinth of domes and tilework inside Khiva's ancient walled city, the whole journey is an exercise in architectural wonder.

As one of our guests put it after joining us here: "To see the Registan in Samarkand as the sun was beginning to go down with the swifts swirling before heading upwards for the night is something I shall never forget.”

Our October 2026 Uzbekistan tour is a guaranteed departure with just a few spaces remaining.

Japan is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the palate.

On our autumn tour, we taste matcha at a private tea ceremony in Kyoto, paired with traditional rice flour sweets made for the occasion. We eat black soba noodles in the Kiso Valley, where buckwheat has been a regional staple for centuries. We visit a wasabi farm in Azumino, where the cold mountain water produces the real thing - a world away from the pale imitation served elsewhere. And most evenings, there is kaiseki: Japan's great multi-course culinary tradition, each dish a quiet exercise in precision and seasonality.

The art is equally layered. In Matsumoto, the Japan Ukiyo-e Museum holds one of the country's finest private collections of woodblock prints. A short walk away, the Matsumoto City Museum of Art introduces us to the vivid, polka-dotted world of Yayoi Kusama, born in this very city.

Our October departure is now full. A few spaces remain on our November date (3–18 Nov 2026) - we'd love you to join us! https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/japan-walking-tour

Memories from a week well spent. We are newly returned from our small-group walking holiday in Istria, Croatia.

The spring sunshine stayed with us as we traced paths between unspoilt villages, pausing to admire hidden medieval frescoes and enjoy the easy camaraderie of a fantastic group of fellow travellers.

Mozart’s ‘The Marriage of Figaro’ in a medieval castle. Verdi’s ‘Nabucco’ in an unforgettable lakeside setting. Chamber music in the heart of the Finnish wilderness.

This July, our Finland walking and music holiday brings together the Savonlinna Opera Festival (staged inside the dramatic medieval Olavinlinna castle) and the intimate Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival, performed in a beautiful wooden church and striking modern Arts Centre. Mozart, Verdi and world-class chamber music, all set against the magic of the Finnish summer.

And in between? The quiet wonder of Finland's forests, lakes and midnight light.

Do get in touch if you'd like to snap up one of the last few remaining places on this tour > https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/finland-opera-tour

Kitaro – “Theme from Silk Road” - If you wish to hear this haunting evocation of the Silk Road please read the newsletter – or join Neill or Sarah respectively in our guaranteed tours to Georgia and Uzbekistan. For fans of the Race Across the World, these will be familiar places but there is nothing like being there and our guides know these countries and will take you deep into the experience of the Silk Road. https://mailchi.mp/c0d57900240c/enewsapr26

We've been quietly planning this one for a while, and we're thrilled to say our new Egypt tour is now live.

Sixteen days from Alexandria to Cairo, travelling by sleeper train, private dahabiya and desert jeep. We visit the colossal Sun Temple at Abu Simbel, sail past Nile villages the cruise ships never stop at, spend a night in a desert pottery village in the Fayoum Oasis, and take three days on the West Bank of Luxor exploring the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's mortuary temple at our own unhurried pace.

This is not a mass-market Egypt tour. Our groups are small - 6 to 14 guests - and this departure will fill quickly. If Egypt has been on your mind, now is the time.

15th February – 2nd March 2027

The Silk Road Awaits...

Our 7th October 2026 departure to Uzbekistan is now guaranteed to run.

With the country set to feature in BBC’s Race Across the World next week, there has never been a better time to discover this enthralling region for yourself.

Join us to explore the turquoise domes of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva, cross the ancient Oxus River, and walk the quiet trails of the Chatkal Mountains.

Step back in time with a small group of like-minded travellers on this immersive cultural walking tour.

There is a Japan most visitors never reach.

Not the famous queues of Kyoto's Gion district, but the narrow Naramachi backstreets of Nara, where traditional merchant houses still line the lanes much as they did centuries ago. Not the tourist trail, but Fushimi, Kyoto's 'Sake Paradise', where we visit the original brewery buildings of the Gekkeikan Okura Museum and taste sake drawn from the same underground springs that have supplied this craft for generations.

And then the Kiso Valley: wooden post towns on the old Nakasendo trade route, wooded mountain slopes, and a quietness that feels entirely earned.

As one guest put it after our inaugural tour: "Kudu has done it again - devised a brilliant trip to a popular destination that finds the best and most interesting places and somehow manages to avoid the worst of the crowds. Which in Japan is quite an achievement."

Our October 2026 departure is now full. Due to exceptional demand, we’ve added a second date - 3 to 18 November 2026 – so do get in touch with us to enquire or to book > https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/japan-walking-tour

The rugged solitude of the Caucasus, captured through the lens of our leader, Neil, during last year’s tour. 📸

By day, we immerse ourselves in remote valleys where the silence is as vast as the glaciers above. These paths offer a rare stillness, winding through alpine meadows to picnics beneath the "Matterhorn of the Caucasus," Mt. Ushba.

As evening falls, the wild landscape gives way to the warmth of a traditional supra. The transition from the granite peaks to a convivial table of fine Georgian wine is the quintessential Kudu experience.

With our departure this September, only a few places remain to join our small group. Click here to secure your spot for 2026 > https://www.kudutravel.com/tours/georgia-walking-tour
