Top 10 unusual trips to book in April

Slow your pace right down, and sip delicious Lebanese wine in the Roman cellars at Chateau Ksara. Founded by Jesuit priests in 1857, Ksara is Lebanon’s oldest and largest winery, best known for its range of delicious reds.
 

Exploring the beautiful and pristine Curonian Spit National Park, stop in one of the old fishing villages with traditional wooden fisherman’s houses and try the delicious smoked fish hot from the smoker.

Marvel at the skills of the horseback riding eagle hunters as they show their skills amongst the Djety-Oguz Gorge’s surreal red-rock landscape. These ancient skills have been passed down from generation to generation, and Kyrgyzstan is one of the only places you can still see these nomadic practices.

Take a rewarding hike across the Valbone Pass, through unspoilt natural scenery and spectacular flowers with beautiful mountain and valley views. On arrival in the Thethi Valley, we’ll be welcomed by an excellent and well-deserved home cooked dinner.

An early start is completely forgotten the moment you take to your kayak on Kekova Bay, floating over the relics of an ancient sunken city. Getting on the water before other paddlers and boats really pays off – this scenic área of picturesque islands, pretty bays and small ancient cities looks wonderful in the calm morning light.
