Experience the vistas and variety of 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
artist's markets, temples, pagodas, a private home, and enjoy a
spectacular hour-long Everest view flight in this cosmopolitan
capital.
A breathtaking flight over mountain vistas and painted
farmhouses brings you to Bhutan, a country of stunning natural beauty
and friendly, colorfully dressed people. Drive past farmland and view
amazing Dzongs that house monasteries, offices and armories. View the
art of religious thangka painting at a school and mingle in the markets
that are the center of Bhutanese life. Wind through rhododendron forests
and a 10,000 ft. pass to arrive in the golden-green Punakha Valley - the
old summer capital.
Tour Calcutta's fruit and flower market, imperial monuments, temples
and bridges. Enjoy countryside walks in the sleepy historic hamlet of
Yoksum. Drive to scenic Darjeeling with its tea gardens, mountaineering
institute, toy train and astounding views of the Kangchenzonga Himalaya.
Our 8-Day Classic Tibet completes this Himalayan Odyssey.
