TUKUL VILLAGE, LALIBELA

TUKUL VILLAGE

TRADITIONALLY-INSPIRED

Tukul Village offers a distinctive collection of traditionally-inspired, two storey circular houses. And even more amazing buildings lie just a few minutes’ walk away.

From its prominent position you can see the horizon framed by dark blue mountains. Tear yourself away from the view and you can experience even more jaw-dropping sights. From Tukul Village you can walk to the Church of Saint George, perhaps the most astonishing of all Lalibela’s historic churches.

As you approach you cannot believe the size of the cruciform structure that has been carved down into the solid rock hillside – it’s only the minute figures of people standing on the edge of the great crater that give you an idea of scale. Faith may move mountains, but man made this huge excavation. And that’s the thing about Lalibela – the more you see the more wonderful it becomes. So include it in your tailor-made holiday to Ethiopia.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”
Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.
