If Christmas shopping leaves you cold - think where you could be in January

Exotic India

December 2007	Edition 022


	Kathmandu - Delhi Delhi- Kathmandu. Whichever way you say it conjures up images of the majestic Himalayas, stunning Rajasthan and the cultural melting pot that is the world's most dynamic 21st century economy. We have two great 15 night trips leaving on 19th January and the 20th February that will sweep you from the colonial splendour of New Delhi to the foothills of the Himalayas via the Taj and Varanasi. Staying mostly in hotels but with some wild camps thrown in for good measure these trips are the perfect antidote to a Boxing Day turkey curry! Find out more here...

The Andean Altiplano

	The grey drizzle of the UK winter will seem a million miles away when you're sipping strong coffee in Cusco, basking in the brilliant sunshine and thin air of the Altiplano. Our 'Discover' trips offer a bite size 16 night tour or a more leisurely 31night adventure. Either way they offer you the chance to experience the colours, smells and fascinating Inca history of this unique area. Discover more on the Incas, Trails and Condors or the Machu Picchu, Inca Trails and Lake Titicaca.

And a Very Happy Christmas to you.

	If you're thinking about planning your 2008 adventure over cold turkey and soup between Christmas and New Year then you'll be pleased to hear that we are open for business on 27th/28th/29th and 31st December. From 10am to 4pm our staff will be available to answer any questions you may have about Drago trips. Please stop us from snacking non-stop from the toffee jar by giving us a call!

Calling all families with a spirit of adventure

	Dragoman family trips have earnt an enviable reputation for adventures that all the family can enjoy. Our Moroccan trip, running in the next Easter hols (24 March- 6 April 2008) is a perfect example. Fly (cheaply!) in and out of Marrakech and then let the Drago crew and truck take you to all that's great about Morocco. The High Atlas, Valley of the Kasbahs, Todra Gorge, camel rides in the Sahara, Essaouira to name a few. Morocco in the Spring offers a truly memorable alternative to the ski slopes of Europe - and the climate's perfect too! Go on, why not surprise the kids. For full details click here.

Hola from Patty!

	I am Patty and have been working for Dragoman Overland since May 2005. I started in the Sales department and then moved to the Operations South American department in July 2006. I am Peruvian and moved to England in Feb 2005 after spending 4 years in the US where I obtained my MBA in Tourism and Hotel Administration. Whenever I return home I try to fit in a Dragoman trip and so far I have done Inca, Trails and Condors from Lima to Cusco which includes our fantastic Community Inca trail, hard work but very rewarding, The Gaucho from Rio to Santiago and of course the Rio Carnival. Who doesn't love a party!. If you want to follow in Patty's footsteps check out the trips below; Inca, Trails and Condors The Gaucho Rio Carnival

November's lucky winner...

	And finally a huge well done to Kristina Spasic who correctly guessed that this picture on our new brochure front cover was taken in Peru. She wins a £50 voucher to spend on all her travel goodies at one of the Nomad Travel Stores. Why not have a look at our brochure.
