Bhutan:
With so much to see and experience in Bhutan, how does one choose how long to stay, where to go and what to see. We have designed this trip to give you an extraordinary experience of life in Bhutan, from the cities and towns to rural life, nature and the stunning landscape to, of course, philosophy of Buddhism. Also called the land of Thunder Dragon, visiting the small kingdom of Bhutan is on the bucket list for many Himalayan lovers.
Bhutan has been pursuing overall development and aspiration based on Gross National Happiness instead of Gross National Product. That is why tourism in Bhutan is sustainably managed that attempts to preserve its rich natural biodiversity and culture while promoting equitable economic well being of the entire strata of population. To visit Bhutan, tourists must pay US$200 per day that directly goes to Sustainable Development Fund managed by the Government of Bhutan.

Tibet is one of the world’s most extraordinary destinations and there is adventure indeed hidden around almost each and every corner. Lhasa, the capital lies high in the arid wilderness of the Tibetan Mountains, its name “the Roof of the World” is no idle statement. The valley bottoms of Tibet are higher than the highest mountains elsewhere. It’s snow covered plateaus are the highest in the world and apart from Everest, which Tibetans see from ‘the other side’, many mountains are over 15000 feet. Lhasa, at (3590 meters), is Tibet’s religious, cultural and economic centre. The 1000 room Potala Palace physically dominates Lhasa City.
