The moment you arrive in the Kingdom you are surrounded by\r\n\r\npeople who dress in traditional hand woven robes.\r\n\r\nKiras for women and Khos for the men. The colour of the fabric is ruled by the season.\r\n\r\nYou will see traditional 3 storied houses with bright exterior wall paintings.\r\n\r\nThere are magnificent landscapes of rice paddies cascading down the mountainsides, pristine rivers slicing through the valleys, ancient Dzongs, Monasteries, Stupas, Chortens, and Temples along the roads and on the mountain tops. It is 72% forested with amazing old growth forests.\r\n\r\nYou will attend famous religious festivals of Thimpu (fort) and Thangbi monastery in the rural setting of central Bumthang. They are staged among the red robed monks and colourfully dressed locals. You will mix with the locals with plenty of Kodak moments.

It is said that travel broadens the mind and you may add to that, it expands your awareness and touches your soul, it is healing and transformational.\r\n\r\nI enjoy observing the transformation that takes place for so many travelers, including myself.\r\n\r\nStimulating sights, sounds, smells, and tastes await you at every corner.\r\n\r\nAs a travel organizer and a tour leader, I make your dreams a reality. I take you to the magical places and expose you to the energy that awaits you there. Travel has been a passion of mine for over 35 years. I have been organizing and leading tours to exotic destinations from Cape Town for 10 years, and prior to that out of San Francisco. I have scheduled trips each year and I can create special tours for a group. I am also available for consultations. Each trip always brings new surprises and experiences.\r\n\r\nOften several of us do get together for meditations. It is only an option one can partake in if they feel comfortable. I seem to attract healers on my tours so there is always someone in addition to myself who can help smooth out the rough edges, to bring in the balance that has tilted a bit. You may too find a healer in yourself.\r\n\r\nYour senses will be heightened as you walk down a street in Varanasi to the Ganges at dawn, or enter the walls of the honey coloured city of Jaiselmer, or riding a camel in the desert at sunset, or wandering through the medina in Marakesh.\r\n\r\nListening to the beating of a drum, or the sound of an old horn in the souks can take you out of yourself and back to ancient times in some of the oldest Imperial cities in the world.\r\n\r\nObserving the daily routines of the women beneath the palmeries on the edge of the Sahara fills you with a sense of spirit.\r\n\r\nAnd let us not forget the markets, souks and bazaars. The bright rich colour of all the hanging scarves, and the Slipper Souk in Marakesh is not to be missed. The spice stalls, and the dried fruit and honey area of the amazing, and sometimes overwhelming, souk in Fez. Whether you are in the market for bellydancing coin -studded scarves in the Aswan bazaar, leather bags and poofs in Marrakesh, the silver anks in Cairo, a silk scarf from Jaiselmer, sparkling bangles from Jaipur, or the beautiful carpets of Kashmir, you will have the time of your life.\r\nIf you don’t like or can’t fathom the bargaining process, pay the asking price and it is still a unique purchase filled with memories.\r\n\r\n<strong>Accomodations:</strong>\r\nWhether it is a traditional Riad in Fez or Marrakesh, a Kasbah or tented Berber camp on the edge of the Sahara, Jaipur’s palatial Havelis from times gone by, or the floating houseboats on Dal Lake in Kashmir, the accommodation is unique.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meals:</strong>\r\nFood is sensual, and can be a wonderful experience. One of the joys of travel is being exposed to different flavors, textures and traditional recipes. Even if you are not a gourmet cook you can appreciate the finesse that goes into each preparation. Buying the spices, and taking them home to experiment with is a joy for many a traveler.\r\n\r\nMost of my destinations are fragrant. The production of essential oils is an age- old process in Morocco, Egypt, and India. The highest quality at a price you can afford.\r\n\r\n<strong>The groups:</strong>\r\nMany of my traveling companions are single women. Some have husbands or partners who don’t enjoy traveling, or prefer less exotic destinations. It’s not that I don’t take men; my destinations just don’t seem to appeal to most of them. Once in awhile I do get a couple of adventurers.\r\n\r\nMany women who were initially reluctant to travel with a group of women are now my best repeat travelers. I have been fortunate to attract amazing, intelligent\r\nstimulating women of every age and from every imaginable background, fromCalifornia to Cape Town and the people in the group always create a unique experience. I feel honored that they keep coming back to share a new experience with me.\r\n\r\nNext time you feel you need a change, join me for one of my “Journeys”.\r\n\r\nI organize and lead tours to Egypt, Morocco, India, Bali, Bhutan, Nepal, southern India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iran, Cuba, Mexico, Jordan.\r\n\r\n\r\nJoanna Castle~021 782 4040~joanna@jaywalk.com~www.jaywalk.com/reiki', 'Traveling to Exotic Destinations', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'traveling-to-exotic-destinations', '', '', '2013-01-11 21:02:32', '2013-01-11 21:02:32', '', 0, 'http://design309.eu/spirited/?page_id=453', 0, 'page', '', 0),

I take you to the magical places and expose you to the energy that awaits you there. Travel has been a passion of mine for over 35 years. I have been organizing and leading tours to exotic destinations from Cape Town for 6 years, and prior to that out of San Francisco. I have scheduled trips each year and I can create special tours for a group. I am also available for consultations. Each trip always brings new surprises and experiences.\r\n\r\nOften several of us do get together for meditations. It is only an option one can partake in if they feel comfortable.

The bright rich colour of all the hanging scarves, and the Slipper Souk in Marakesh is not to be missed. The spice stalls, and the dried fruit and honey area of the amazing, and sometimes overwhelming, souk in Fez. Whether you are in the market for bellydancing coin -studded scarves in the Aswan bazaar, leather bags and poofs in Marrakesh, the silver anks in Cairo, a silk scarf from Jaiselmer, sparkling bangles from Jaipur, or the beautiful carpets of Kashmir, you will have the time of your life.\r\nIf you don’t like or can’t fathom the bargaining process, pay the asking price and it is still a unique purchase filled with memories.\r\n\r\n<strong>Accomodations:</strong>\r\nWhether it is a traditional Riad in Fez or Marrakesh, a Kasbah or tented Berber camp on the edge of the Sahara, Jaipur’s palatial Havelis from times gone by, or the floating houseboats on Dal Lake in Kashmir, the accommodation is unique.\r\n\r\n<strong>Meals:</strong>\r\nFood is sensual, and can be a wonderful experience.

We pass fields upon fields of freshly planted rice which are now emerald green. We turn off the major 2 lane road, where you find the saffron growing in November, to a 1 lane road from hell. Through small villages with pots holes the size you\'d lose a VW Beetle in we charge in our SUV\'s.\r\n\r\nWe climb into the mts. and finally reach our destination at about 7,500 feet.\r\nThe green green valley is surrounded by the snow capped Himalayas. The Daksum river races past with small rapids that might be run in a small rubber raft.\r\n\r\nA family fishing trip in Kashmir calls for lovely carpets to be spread on the ground under the shading Chinar trees. A gas 2 burner, fry pans for cooking the fish, and extra food brought just in case there weren\'t great baskets of fish caught that day.\r\n\r\nSome went up the river 1km. and worked their way down, others went far down the river and kept going. I learned that 5-6 casts and you move on cause the water has been \"disturbed\" If you catch a fish it is disturbed too, so you move on and don\'t try for the others lurking between the rocks.\r\n\r\nI was loaned a great graphite rod and reel for the day. Even with that I still didn\'t look like Brad Pitt in \"A River Runs Through It\"....but I was told by the old man who was assigned to me that I was casting well. He tied my flies, drug me up and down ALL of the river, hopping over small streams, shallow areas, with him holding my hand most of the time for balance.\r\n\r\nAt lunch time we had some of the fish that had been caught thus far. I was fortunate to be given extra fish cause I was the visitor, and they knew I loved fresh fish straight from the stream into the pan.\r\n\r\nMy shoulder is just a bit sore. I only toppled over once trying to balance on the large and small boulders along the river bed. Didn\'t tear, sprain or scrape any part of me so I was pleased. Only sank once at the rivers edge up to my ankle in slimmy mud. A bit sunburned, but all in all an injury free day, and my Tevas are washable.\r\n\r\nI caught 1 very very small Rainbow Trout that sparkled in the sunshine. Too small to my mind so it was thrown back. When I returned to camp I saw that they kept such small fish. In the USA you would be shot for keeping such tiny fish. My first fishing teacher, my father, would have been horrified.\r\n\r\nFYI as a young girl I held a record for years for catching the biggest trout in a small place in the Santa Cruz mts. that I went to with my father. I was the son he never had.\r\n\r\nSince the years of trouble throughout the 90\'s and early 2000 years, tourism and the economy in general, has been depressed and created a lack of food. Fishing year round they have fished out the river. Some say the terrorists poisened the river and killed the fish?? Who know which rumors are true.\r\n\r\nAfter all the guys finally gave up trying for that 7kg. trout we packed the vehicles at dusk and headed out on the long bumpy drive home.\r\n\r\nSo if you have ever had a fantasy to fish for trout in the Himalyas it can easily be fulfilled. Let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

(701, 1, '2013-01-12 09:09:42', '2013-01-12 09:09:42', 'I just experienced my first Fly Fishing Trip for Trout in the Himalayas\r\n\r\nWe hit the road at 5am for our very long bumpy 4 hour drive to Daksum, the most beautiful valley in the region. We pass fields upon fields of freshly planted rice which are now emerald green. We turn off the major 2 lane road, where you find the saffron growing in November, to a 1 lane road from hell. Through small villages with pots holes the size you\'d lose a VW Beetle in we charge in our SUV\'s.\r\n\r\nWe climb into the mts. and finally reach our destination at about 7,500 feet.\r\nThe green green valley is surrounded by the snow capped Himalayas. The Daksum river races past with small rapids that might be run in a small rubber raft.\r\n\r\nA family fishing trip in Kashmir calls for lovely carpets to be spread on the ground under the shading Chinar trees. A gas 2 burner, fry pans for cooking the fish, and extra food brought just in case there weren\'t great baskets of fish caught that day.\r\n\r\nSome went up the river 1km. and worked their way down, others went far down the river and kept going. I learned that 5-6 casts and you move on cause the water has been \"disturbed\" If you catch a fish it is disturbed too, so you move on and don\'t try for the others lurking between the rocks.\r\n\r\nI was loaned a great graphite rod and reel for the day. Even with that I still didn\'t look like Brad Pitt in \"A River Runs Through It\"....but I was told by the old man who was assigned to me that I was casting well. He tied my flies, drug me up and down ALL of the river, hopping over small streams, shallow areas, with him holding my hand most of the time for balance.\r\n\r\nAt lunch time we had some of the fish that had been caught thus far. I was fortunate to be given extra fish cause I was the visitor, and they knew I loved fresh fish straight from the stream into the pan.\r\n\r\nMy shoulder is just a bit sore. I only toppled over once trying to balance on the large and small boulders along the river bed. Didn\'t tear, sprain or scrape any part of me so I was pleased. Only sank once at the rivers edge up to my ankle in slimmy mud. A bit sunburned, but all in all an injury free day, and my Tevas are washable.\r\n\r\nI caught 1 very very small Rainbow Trout that sparkled in the sunshine. Too small to my mind so it was thrown back. When I returned to camp I saw that they kept such small fish. In the USA you would be shot for keeping such tiny fish. My first fishing teacher, my father, would have been horrified.\r\n\r\nFYI as a young girl I held a record for years for catching the biggest trout in a small place in the Santa Cruz mts. that I went to with my father. I was the son he never had.\r\n\r\nSince the years of trouble throughout the 90\'s and early 2000 years, tourism and the economy in general, has been depressed and created a lack of food. Fishing year round they have fished out the river. Some say the terrorists poisened the river and killed the fish?? Who know which rumors are true.\r\n\r\nAfter all the guys finally gave up trying for that 7kg. trout we packed the vehicles at dusk and headed out on the long bumpy drive home.\r\n\r\nSo if you have ever had a fantasy to fish for trout in the Himalyas it can easily be fulfilled. Let me know and I will point you in the right direction.

(1, 'I have been a single parent for many years and I have always had the yen to travel. It was never a case of when to travel, but who to travel with. One day I picked up the Link Up magazine and found my solution. Joanna Castle was organising a tour to India. Although my intention was to go to Egypt, India was close enough. The tour was set for the April 2006. Joanna has an amazing talent for creating memorable trips to exotic destinations filled with history, magical fun filled moments, breathtaking architecture, and a kaleidoscope of smells, sounds and impressions that will transform your life forever.<br /><br />Since India I have travelled to Morocco and finally did get to Egypt with her.<br />Travelling is wonderful but tiring. Joanna has the ability to put together a tour that offers the opportunity to recharge your energy levels after hectic spells of travelling, site seeing, and yes even shopping. We go to a little village for a few days to ride bicycles or donkeys, a dawn balloon ride, or tea at the Winter Palace.<br />This year I am doing two trips with her. Can hardly wait till Bali in July. Oh yes, I almost forgot the most important part, her trips are sooooooo affordable. ', 'Helen Williams, Businesswoman, Cape Town, South Africa');
