The New Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a sacred Hindu site located inside the Banaras Hindu University campus. It is dedicated to Lord Shiva, the destroyer of evil. The temple was built in 1966 by Birla Foundation and has a magnificent architecture. Visitors can admire the intricate carvings and paintings on the walls and ceilings of the temple.

Dashashwamedh Ghat is a main ghat in Varanasi on the Ganga River. It is a sacred place for Hindus, who believe that Lord Brahma created it to welcome Lord Shiva.

Good 'ole Exodus!

An interesting blend of Vietnam from north to south including an o/n sleeper train. The success and enjoyment of these trips is usually down to the blend of fellow travellers and team leader and this one was no different. The weather,early season, was mixed with a little more rain and cloud than hoped for but did not detract from the enjoyment but a little more sunshine would have enhanced the countryside. A read of the brochure and trip notes will give a very accurate picture of the breadth and variety of the trip. The daily riding distances are mainly governed by the fitness of the participants and their ability to cover the miles in a reasonable time and for the first time in my experience of 7 trips we were delayed by some participants who frankly were not cycling fit and I wonder if they had read and understood the pre - trip advice!

Excellent, probably the best yet.

This was an amazing trip. Totally fell in love with Vietnam, We did so much in such in two weeks. The cycling, somehow. only felt like a small part of the experience as there were so many other things that we did. Each day was full on, exceptionally well organised, great food, etc Been on a few cycle trips, and I think this was the best one so far
