Educational Travel in Asia



Drama pervades Asia's cultural and natural jewels, emanating from a Noh theater performance in Kyoto and the fading daylight at Angkor Wat. India's fishermen are haggling on the canals of Alleppey, and the mighty Yangtze River thunders through China on its way to the Yellow Sea. Elderhostel's educational journeys will take you to witness the drama firsthand.
