Hugh became a big fan of India when he visited this diverse country for the 1st time. India's unique cultural diversity, glorious history and diverse cuisine fascinated him beyond words. This historic state of Rajasthan was his favourite part of India. The state houses ancient cities of Jaipur, Udaipur and Jaisalmer, which were ruled by Rajput kings centuries ago and have a wealth of history & folklore that attracts millions of tourists. Amer Fort, the largest fort in Jaipur, showcases the history of the city with an astounding light and sound show with the fort in the background, a truly mesmerizing experience in Jack's words. The city is also home to two other majestic forts - the Nahargarh fort and the Jaigarh fort. Udaipur, the Venice of the East, was no less than a fairy tale city for Hugh. His stay at the famous lake palace that sits in the middle of Lake Pichola and is now a luxury resort, was the most memorable experience of his trip to India. Just across the lake is the City Palace, another architectural marvel of Rajputana tradition, where the Royal family of Udaipur resides even today.

The archipelagic state of Maldives is a dream destination for those looking to spend private time with their loved ones in the most exotic settings. With some of the most luxurious island resorts & water villas, Maldives is extremely popular with honeymooners. For Hugh, it was the island destination of his dreams and he thoroughly cherished his vacation in these exotic islands. Maldives offers a variety of activities to keep one entertained on his vacation; such as kayaking, scuba diving, water skiing, snorkeling, speed boats, yachts and catamaran cruises. Go for a dolphin watching cruise in the blue waters of Maldives, an experience that you'll cherish for life. If you are willing to spend, take a helicopter tour of the Maldivian islands to relish the gorgeous panoramic views of these exotic islands scattered across the blue waters of the Indian Ocean.

Regarded as the global centre of fashion, lifestyle and culture; Paris is one of the most remarkable cities in Europe. Hugh loves to visit Paris on his travels to Europe. Cruising on the Siene river admiring the panoramic views of the city was his most memorable excursion in Paris. The cruise provides an opportunity to witness popular monuments such as Assemblee Nationale, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, Pantheon, Cite de la Mode, Hotel de Ville, Notre Dame, Conciergerie, and more. One can choose to have a 4 course dinner on the cruise for a holistic indulgence in the French way of life. Paris is also popular with family travelers who love to visit Disneyland Paris, the grandest amusement park in Europe, which is located just half an hour from the city. It includes two theme parks: Walt Disney Studio Park and Disneyland Park, plus 7 Disney Hotels, a golf course and the Disney Village

Hugh loved his time spent in the historic eastern European city of Prague. Located on the banks of the Vitava river, the capital city of Czech Republic is known for its historic monuments and medieval architecture. Tourists love to visit the 9th century Prague Castle, the seat of the government, that houses crown Jewels, relics of Bohemian kings, precious Christian relics & pieces of art ! Taking a night cruise on the Vitava river enjoying soft music and relishing a delicious 4 course Czech meal was one of his most memorable excursions in Prague. The cruise provides a glimpse of monuments and buildings that shine brightly in the dusk and provide a mesmerizing view. Prague has an incredible nightlife and is popular for its local beers. Its a great place for pub hopping as the city comes to life in the evenings with scores of pubs, bars and eateries offering fantastic spreads of drinks and local delicacies.

A Safari Holiday in Kenya was a dream come true for Hugh, who is a wildlife enthusiast and loves to spend time in the midst of nature. No safari experience comes close to a visit to the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya to witness the annual wildebeest migration. One can take a hot air balloon ride to capture the grandeur of this natural event from up in the air. The Amboseli National Park provides incredible views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest mountain peak in Africa. Kenya is a fantastic place to watch the big 5 cats in their natural habitat from a close distance viz. lions, cheetahs, tigers, panthers and leopards. For bird watching enthusiasts, a visit to the Lake Nakuru is a must. One gets to see hundreds of varieties of exotic birds, the most notable amongst them being the pink flamingos that descend upon the lake in flocks that sometimes number one to two million birds.
