Experience upscale journeys led by renowned scholars, created by a visionary staff, offering adventure, education, camaraderie, and world cultural understanding---both past and present! Mission Statement We believe that to truly understand an area of the world, it is important not to be just an "observer" of another culture; we must be as much of a participant within that culture as is possible within the confines of the trip. Explore how the people live today, challenges they face, their traditions, their goals and their political environment. We limit the size of Far Horizons' groups to enable participants, whenever possible, to dine in celebrated restaurants and spend overnights in small, bed and breakfast-type accommodations that depict the ambience of the country. Frequently these establishments are housed in charming, restored historic buildings - haciendas, Ottoman mansions and castles in Turkey,and palaces in India. During a Far Horizons trip, we dine on the local delicacies, drink traditional beverages, learn something of the languages, and travel to areas rarely visited by tourists. Our trip leaders, local guides and tour managers are picked for their expertise in a given area and for their congeniality as traveling companions. Are you looking for an exclusive private trip? Years of experience, proven logistical capabilities, and exceptional knowledge of the most remote areas and cultures makes Far Horizons the ideal company to assist you in your journey.
