Experience the varied cultures of Nepal, India and remote
Bhutan, nestled between the Indian lowlands and the Tibetan
Himalaya. Medieval Kathmandu with its magnificent royal
residences, cobbled streets, ancient squares and buildings
sprinkled with intricately hand-carved windows is set against
a backdrop of the majestic Himalaya. The narrow lanes and
alleys jostling with delightful Nepalese create a happy
and lively atmosphere. Visit artists? markets, temples,
pagodas and a private home. Enjoy an Everest flight and,
perhaps, catch a glimpse of the child goddess ?Kumari?!
A breathtaking flight over mountain vistas and painted
farmhouses brings you to Bhutan, a kingdom of stunning
natural beauty and friendly, colorfully dressed people.
Drive past farmland and view amazing Dzongs that house
monasteries, offices and armories. See the art at the
religious thangka painting school and explore the wonder
in the markets that are the center of Bhutanese life.
Travel through rhododendron forests and a 10,000 ft. pass
to arrive in the golden-green Punakha Valley ? the
old summer capital.
Tour Calcutta?s markets, monuments, temples and
bridges. Continue on to Sikkim with its wild orchids,
lofty mountains and awe-inspiring monasteries. Visit the
sleepy historic hamlet of Yoksum and enjoy countryside
walks. Drive to Darjeeling with its tea gardens, mountaineering
institute, toy train and astounding views of the Kangchenzonga
Himalaya.
A Classic Tibet extension completes this Himalayan Odyssey.
