Strong fit if

Travel from the UK
Allow roughly 11 hours of modelled flying time from London, before airport and transfer time. This is long-haul travel, so allowing at least a week usually makes sense.
How much effort does this take?
This asks a little more of you than a typical package holiday. Some independent planning and flexibility help, but it remains realistic for most prepared travellers.
