Silken Paths & Sacred Temples
A Ladies-Only Journey Through Vietnam & Cambodia
Overview
Silken Paths & Sacred Temples
For the woman who seeks more than just a holiday, Silken Paths & Sacred Temples is a curated experience across two culturally rich lands—Vietnam and Cambodia—designed for ladies who crave soul-deep travel, sisterhood, and a balance of adventure, indulgence, and meaningful connection.
Walk the timeworn streets of Hanoi’s Old Quarter, taste the layers of a country’s identity through its street food, cruise dreamlike Halong Bay, learn to cook for wellness in Hoi An, and stand in awe before the mighty Angkor Wat at sunrise. All while being guided and supported by a small group of like-minded women—hosted by Chantelle, founder of Amarantine Travels.
This is more than sightseeing. It’s story-weaving, joy-sharing, and sacred-experiencing.
