Whether your preference is for a self-guided or guided motorcycle tour, below are three excellent destination options in China.

Silk Road Tour

Silk Road motorcycle tours pass through this famous historical route in China. Some Silk Road motorcycle tours start in Beijing and end in Xian, a city famous for its terracotta warriors. These multi-day tours also include original routes in Xinjiang and Gansu province. The more adventurous tours cover the entire Silk Road route, commencing in Turkey and passing through Georgia, Kazakhstan and other countries, before ending the tour in China.

Xinjiang, Gansu, and Shaanxi Province Tour

Located in the north-western region, the provinces of Xinjiang, Gansu, and Shaanxi offer a different facet of China. Highlights of the motorcycle tour include possible trips to the mummies of Urumqi, Islamic minarets and tombs in Xinjiang, White Stone Spot in the Barkol pasturelands, and other popular attractions.

Qinghai and the Tibetan Region Tour

The Qinghai and Amdo Tibetan Region has one of the most scenic routes in China. The multi-day tour may include stopovers in breathtaking mountain passes and lakes located high up in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. Visits to some notable Tibetan monasteries and nomadic villages may be arranged for a more immersive experience in the regionâ??s unique culture.

Bus tours are operated by several rival companies, so you have the option to price shop between them in order to find the best deal. Open top double-decker buses set off every fifteen minutes from Victoria Station, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly, amongst other popular and well known tourist spots. It is important to understand that tours take roughly two hours, but remember you can usually hop on and off the bus as you please; so if something catches your eye, thereâ??s nothing stopping you from taking a closer look.

If youâ??re looking for a sightseeing tour with a twist then look out for the amphibious World War II vehicles, which allow you to take a combined bus and boat tour along both road and river. The tour departs from behind the London Eye, where you tour the city streets for about 45 minutes, passing popular landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. The multitasking vehicle then takes to the River Thames where you can enjoy a view of the city from its watery banks.

Walking tours are another appealing way to get up close and personal with all that Britainâ??s captivating capital has to offer. Guided by local specialists, walking tours tend to combine historical information with interesting tales, meaning you can discover some facts of London in the most interesting of ways.

General walking tours are also easy to find and can prove one of the best ways to see some of the more popular landmarks. You can also choose from the variety of themed tours on the market, varying from literary pub crawls to Beatles tours.

In fact, the city of London was a compelling source of inspiration for great writers such as William Shakespeare, William Blake and of course, Charles Dickens. With themed tours available on literary greats such as these, you can catch a glance into a world gone by and see for yourself some of the features of London that sparked the imagination of many.

What’s more, you can indulge your dark side with a Jack the Ripper tour where Londoners and visitors alike can explore the shadowy East End alleyways where the infamous murders occurred. The trip round the crooked and cobbled alleyways of Whitechapel and Spitalfields offer an insightful glimpse into Victorian life in London, which is a must for anyone with an interest in the macabre side of the city.

It is also good to know that many of the London Hotels should have further information on sightseeing tours, if you feel you should need it. Of course, the most difficult decision may be choosing which tour ticks all the boxes for you.

But why elephants exclaimed another tourist, who too couldnâ??t digest the idea of sitting on such a huge animal. Quite used to this kind of response, Erco Travels agent informed them that elephant safari is used primarily because this makes it easy to move around with ease in the forest and the height of the animal gives one a birdâ??s eye view of the happenings in the forest, which may not be possible in a vehicle.

The agent further explained how each elephant is fitted with a large seat that can accommodate couple of people with ease. And this manner of travel is not recent in India. Elephants were earlier used by the erstwhile kings to commute and even during wars. These animals are extremely trained and elephant being a very intelligent animal moves well to the commands of his trainer.

True to the explanations of the Erco Travels agent, the elephant safari was indeed a pleasurable trip. Undisturbed by the mechanical roar of a moving vehicle, the animals in the Corbett National Park were very comfortable with the presence of elephants and kept occupied in their daily routine giving the tourists enough time and pleasure to watch them at close quarters and even click them to their hearts satisfaction.

In Corbett Tour this safari heightened the thrill as the animal moved majestically through mysterious and dense forests, deep valleys and rugged trails offering a lingering thrill of adventure to the tourists. Whatâ??s more? The experience was further enhancedby the cultural enigma of the land.

Interestingly, elephant is one mode that was often used during British regime in India to hunt animals and was even trained as transporters of wood from the thick forests to build the extensive rail network. In fact, most of the snaps of British hunting trips are mostly incomplete without the presence of elephants.

Despite the thrill, tourists planning to use elephant safaris also need to observe some doâ??s and dontâ??s of wearing clothes that merge well the forest surroundings and be well equipped with binoculars, camera and water bottles; however loud cheering and munching during the safari should be avoided to attract unnecessary attention.

Erco Travels agent informed the tourist that the elephants used in the safaris are well looked after by the trainers just like a member of their family and this is the reason why the animals are so popular in major National parks like Corbett, Bandhavgarh National Park, Manas National Park, Kaziranga and Kanha National Park to name a few. So what are you waiting for? Just pack your bags and prior to that get in touch with Erco Travels agents to arrange it all for you.

The golden backdrop of sparkling sand fills one with the exoticism and mystery of the desert which is spread miles and miles undiscovered. Otherwise too the landscape of Rajasthan is home to the magnificent varieties of hilltops, deep forests, rural countryside and dry vegetation of cacti and shrubs. Safari on the desert ship is a thrilling experience as well with the deadly height of the camel riding on the delicate surface of sand. The limp of the camel adds to the fun of camel ride. A saddle is mounted on the camel’s hump, which provides a comfortable seating arrangement for two people. The reins are also fastened to the nose peg of camel so the animals can be steered easily letting you enjoy a calm desert safari in Rajasthan.

In the arid regions of desert, hardly one finds any human habitation due to hot and dry weather conditions but unexpected group of women appear and disappear in their colorful attires fetching water or firewood or one can spot a herd of sheep or goats tended by a boy. The rhythmic pace of camel and tickling bells on its neck provide a beautiful solace away from the cacophony of cities. The nights in desert are cold as the heat absorbed by sand is reflected back into the atmosphere at night which renders the traveler an exposure to both the extreme weather conditions in one day at a same place. Camping at night huddled around a tiny bonfire under the sky of stars and listening to the silence of desert or the camel driversâ?? fairy tales is unimaginably romantic. These safaris can be enjoyed on elephants, horses, jeeps, motorbikes etc and range from just one day to several ones which a tourist can choose from depending on budget, schedule, and needs.

Enroute desert safari, the national park is an excellent place to witness the rich fauna. The Sudashri forest is the most perfect place to observe Rajasthan Wildlife Tourwhere less than 20% of the park consist sand dunes, also rocks, pavements and salt lake bottoms. Blackbucks, chinkara, wolf, Indian fox, desert cat, hare etc can be spotted here. Birds such as Great Indian bustard, grey partridge, Bee-eaters frequent this park. The cities of Jaisalmer and Bikaner offer the best experience for desert safaris. Thesedesert safaris would be the most memorable experiences a traveler would experience in the state of Rajasthan.
