Let us guide you to discover the wonders concealed within the folds of the Himalayan panorama, ensuring that every step you take is a revelation and every moment an exploration of your interests.
Adventure
From trekking along ancient trails that reveal breathtaking vistas to wildlife spotting in the lush forests, the Himalayan region beckons those with a passion for the great outdoors. Embark on short hikes through quaint villages, opt for extended treks through the scenic highlands or attempt climbing the so called ‘trekking peaks’ in Nepal. The iconic Everest Base Camp trek is a top pick for trekking enthusiasts, with the option to start from Kathmandu or hop on a private helicopter to Lukla, the gateway to Everest for a fast-track journey. If trekking isn’t your style, explore the amazing cycling trails, or experience the thrill of white-water rafting on Nepal and Bhutan's stunning rivers.
Culture
Cultural aficionados will be captivated by the rich heritage of the Himalayan communities. Align your trips with important festivals and other cultural events to see the places at their best, both culturally and aesthetically. Whether your interests lie in participating in festivals, rites and rituals or admiring urban works of art or simply visiting religious and historical sites, we have you covered.
Spiritual
Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, and India are countries adorned with legends with a reservoir of spiritual energy. They all have numerous sites and shrines that some claim to have healing powers, the energy to make wishes come true or meditation more focused. For those seeking inner peace and reflection, meditation retreats in serene landscapes offer a compelling approach to self-discovery, forging a deeper connection with your inner self.
Wildlife
If you are a nature enthusiast, there's a world of rare and exotic wildlife waiting for you in the jungles of Nepal, Bhutan and India. The spectacular topographical diversity of the Himalayas forms a splendid habitat for a vast variety of flora and fauna. From elusive snow leopards navigating steep cliffs to the playful antics of red pandas in the dense forests, the Himalayas shelter a rich array of species. High-altitude regions host hardy inhabitants like the Himalayan Sloth Bear, Wild Yak to One-Horned Rhinoceros, the Marsh Mugger Crocodiles and Freshwater Dolphins in the lowlands. Birdwatching in Nepal is a captivating experience too, with over 900 bird species flourishing in diverse ecosystems.
