National Geographic Traveller UK Magazine Jan-Feb 2025 Back Issue

This month’s cover story focuses on Japan and looks beyond its best-known highlights to discover another side of the East Asian archipelago. From sacred pilgrimage trails on forested islands to slow and scenic train routes soundtracked by shamisen performances, we highlight some of the country's most unique and rewarding experiences. Elsewhere, we step into the wonderful world of pangolins in a game reserve in South Africa; explore Norway's Lofoten archipelago on a multi-day kayaking expedition; discover the spirit of flamenco that infuses every aspect of Grenada; and plan itineraries to experience India's Golden Triangle, from its pink-hued cities to wildlife-rich lowland.
