Activity: Local traditions

Día de los Muertos fills Oaxaca with candlelight, marigolds, and rituals that honour the bond between the living and the departed. Visit vibrant markets, witness families preparing ofrendas, and share traditions passed through generations.

Lanterns rise into the night sky above Chiang Mai during the twin festivals of Loy Krathong and Yi Peng. Craft your own krathong, receive a monk’s blessing, and release lanterns beneath a sky glowing with thousands of lights.

Tết is a time of renewal, when Vietnam slows, gathers, and begins again. This journey moves from the vibrant preparations of Hanoi to the quiet rituals of Ninh Bình and the lantern-lit celebrations of Hội An.

Spring arrives in India with Holi, the joyful festival that celebrates colour, renewal, and the triumph of good over evil. Join the celebration as clouds of powdered colour fill the air and music and laughter sweep through towns and temples.
