5 top trips to travel solo this Christmas and New Year

If you’re a single traveller looking to spend Christmas on a fully immersive and cultural holiday, take a look at our small group tours to Nepal. Lush vegetation lines the calm shores of Lake Phewa Tal set against the snow-capped peaks of the Annapurna Mountains soaring into the azure blue skies beyond. After a visit to the spiritual Manakamana Temple, we’ll relax in this picture-postcard scene for the rest of the day. Later in the trip, we’ll take a walk through some traditional Nepalese Gurung and Chettri settlements in Pokhara before visiting the serene white-washed World Peace Pagoda.

Celebrate the arrival of the new year with a solo holiday in the Old Town of Hoi An. Spend the day wandering the ancient streets and visit the the Japanese Bridge, Hoi An's emblematic symbol. Then once it gets dark, head down to the river to see paper lanterns dotted all over the water's surface.
