Mongolia
You’ll love the wide, open spaces, riding on horseback through the never-ending steppe and spending a night in a yurt after sharing a meal with nomads.

Our pick:

Volcanoes, little villages, secret beaches and snorkelling are all on the agenda for a languid cruise where you can take the time to enjoy your family’s company over a good meal.
