India & Ethiopia Great Destinations

Welcome to the world of Village Ways holidays. We will take you to two spectacular destinations where you will enjoy a holiday we promise you will never forget. A Village Ways holiday is no ordinary break - we will surround you with landscapes of breathtaking beauty and take you right to the heart of rural communities - who will take you right to their hearts. Whether you choose one of our two areas in the foothills of the Himalayas in India or opt for the Highlands of Ethiopia, whether you are a first time visitor or a regular, you will experience a depth of involvement with people and place that would be hard to discover in any other way. And with Village Ways you are looked after from the moment you arrive; the comfort of tailor-made arrangements ironing out the challenges without taking away the adventure.

Unlike anywhere else in Africa, Ethiopia surprises and delights. You will discover a spectacular landscape whose beauty is overwhelming. Overwhelming too is the sense of the past - the biblical landscape, profound Christian heritage and ancient sites. You will meet a people full of dignity, tall and graceful, hospitable and friendly with a smile that will melt your heart. It is a huge thrill to visit this extraordinary country and a privilege to stay among her people.

A Village Ways holiday is the ideal way to discover this fabulous continent of contrasts where the surprisingly familiar is juxtaposed with the unexpected and extraordinarily different. Vivid colours, sounds and scents heighten the experience. You will discover little known villages, gilded with views of the spectacular range of high Himalayan mountains. The natural hospitality you encounter everywhere will leave you longing to return.
