She eats in Italy, prays in India and finds love in Bali. If you\u2019re anything like us, you\u2019re watching this movie set in Asia and Europe for the scenery of course.

Maybe after watching the riches and glamour of this movie adaptation of Kevin Kwan&#8217;s best-selling novel you too will be inspired to visit the vibrant destination.

Wong Kar Wai\u2019s film follows a man and a woman who move into neighbouring apartments on the same day. After learning both their partners were having affairs, they confide in each other.

It\u2019s an obvious aesthetic fit to use India\u2019s colourful hues and charming locations like old Jodhpur for this movie about travel across Asia. The story follows three brothers on a train journey across India who are trying to reconnect. Now, if only the train was real \u2013 we\u2019d be booking a seat, no doubt!<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<p><iframe title=\"The Official Trailer for The Darjeeling Limited\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aO1bYukdvLI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p><strong><em>GET INSPIRED BY: <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/golden-triangle-tigers-and-the-ganges\"><strong><em>Golden Triangle, Tigers and the Ganges<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tomb-raider-cambodia\">Tomb Raider \u2014 Cambodia<\/h3>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>The first major motion picture to be shot in Cambodia since 1964, this action-adventure film takes us through Angkor in the Siem Reap Province of Cambodia.
