You will discover a whole of Hindu temples, each one of them built under the reign of a different king in front of the former royal palace. Inside, we can find the Patan museum, reputed for its collection of statues of Hindu and Buddhist divinities. It is certainly the wealthiest museum of Nepal.
    Patan was once a great center for Buddhist teaching, as testimony many monasteries that you will meet in encounter in the maze of alleys of the Medieval Patan. You will have the opportunity to visit the Golden Temple. It is a real piece of goldsmithery, composed of a triple roof and a golden copper facade whose origins go back to the 12th century and where everything is engraved and carved.
    At the corner of an alley, you will also discover the temple Maha buddha, or temple of the nine thousand Buddhas, built in the fourteenth century with the effigy of Buddha. It is, in fact, reproduced on each of the bricks which constitute it, and this, nearly nine thousand times and of all sizes. Beauties that make Nepal a culturally and artistically rich country.

Although the site is assimilated to Buddhism, the site is venerated both by Buddhists and Hindus. In the afternoon, you go to Dubar Square of Katmandu – the heart of the former city.

They cut every link with their family, don’t own anything, and have no roof and feed themselves of donations of the devotees.
    The afternoon will be devoted to the visit of Buddhanath, sanctuary of Buddhism, represented by its gigantic Stuppa surrounded by Tibetan monasteries. This site is populated by many Tibetans who fled to Nepal after the Chinese invasion. It is interesting to go there at the end of the day to attend the ritual of the believers which consists of turning around the Stuppa in a clockwise direction. You will be able to immerse yourself in the serene atmosphere that comes from it and have the opportunity to visit a Tibetan monastery and the temple of Gokarna.

Between these moments of singing are inserted instrumental passages where are mixed the sounds of the ritual instruments: oboes, trumpets, conches, drums, cymbals and bells. These songs with different vocal registers will allow you to escape the time of a liturgy and invite you to meditation. After this profound moment of spiritual sharing we will return to Patan to spend the night.

Entre siem reap et Phnom Penh le guide un peu limite à Phnom Penh très bon guide bonne qualité bonne culture serviable .

Je suis né à Hanoï d’un père militaire français qui a « fait l’Indo ».
J’ai voulu faire découvrir le Vietnam à mes 2 filles étudiantes sous l’angle « nature et culture » mais surtout leur faire rencontrer des gens authentiques et découvrir leur vie de tous les jours.
 
Plus que les traditions, l’histoire et les paysages, ce sont les Vietnamiens eux-mêmes qui sont la vraie richesse de ce pays, que j’avais déjà visité il y a une dizaine d’années.
J’ai donc choisi un opérateur local et Mandarin Road et leur programme a totalement répondu à mes demandes, parfois très personnalisées, notamment avec les séjours et les repas chez l’habitant.
On a ri, on a chanté, on a connu de grands moments de joie.
Vous cherchez l’authenticité et les vraies valeurs du Vietnam …?
Adressez-vous à Mandarin Road J J J

Madame, Monsieur,
 
  Nous tenions à vous féliciter pour l’organisation de notre séjour en Thaïlande « Charmes de la Thaïlande »
 
Des vacances au cours desquelles vous avez su faire preuve de maitrise et de professionnalisme, autant l’accueil a l’arrivée a l’aéroport de Bangkok, le choix de l’hôtel, la qualité et l’exactitude horaire des différents transferts.
Tout cela nous a permis d’apprécier pleinement la découverte de la Thaïlande en toute sérénité. C’était notre premier voyage en Asie et nous redoutions car de plus nous ne parlons pas l’anglais et évidemment pas le thaï. 
Nous remercions particulièrement Mme Tina Vu et Mme Anna Nguyen pour leur efficacité a bien comprendre nos désirs en matière de découverte et a les satisfaire. Nous ne manquerons pas d’utiliser a nouveau vos services pour un futur voyage mais cette fois ci au Vietnam.
Avec à nouveau nos remerciements, nous vous prions de trouver ici, Madame, Monsieur, l’expression de nos sentiments distingués.

Un grand merci à Mandarin Road ! Très bonne organisation du voyage (liaison de transports, planning des activités). L’équipe (et surtout Tina) était à notre écoute et répondait de manière très réactive à nos besoins éventuels. La nourriture était de bonne qualité tout au long du voyage. Mention spéciale pour notre séjour à Siemp Reap : guide super, bel hôtel, planning bien actif.
Points d’amélioration éventuels :
         Le fait d’aller à Can Tho a représenté beaucoup de routes (4h-5h) pour quelques balades sur place. Pour nous ça ressemblait aux activités déjà faites dans le centre (cours de cuisine, balade sur des rivières/fleuves) .
         L’hôtel à Can tho n’était pas de bonne qualité.
         Super guide au sud qui connaissait vraiment beaucoup de choses.
         Siem Reap : le guide a changé un peu le programme pour nous permettre l’ensemble des monuments à voir. Apparemment tous les beaux monuments à voir n’était pas prévus dans le programme initial.
Les + :
         Siemp reap
         La baie d’Along
         Hanoi : visite de la ville  et des musées avec le guide
          Hué : ville impériale
Nous restons à votre disposition si besoin, 
Bien cordialement,
Athena et Jean-Charles Campisciano
