Nepal Nepal is a country of unbelievable enchantments.
Squeezed between the two Asian giants -- China and India
-- it is the land of Mt. Everest (8,848 m), the highest
point on earth, which dominates its skyline. Perhaps
impressed by its distinctive traditions, one eminent
traveler described Nepal (Kathmandu Valley, at that
time) as a place where "every other building is a temple
and every other day is a festival". For a more detailed
description of its wonders, visit out Nepal Page. For

Tibet Tibet, the forbidden land known as "the roof of the
world" remains isolated from the rest of the world
behind the great wall of the Himalayas and the vast
expanse of the Tibetan plateau. Our program The Soul of
Tibet is a great opportunity to explore this fascinating
country's ancient folkways, including a uniquely
colorful brand of Buddhism and a striking style of
mountaintop architecture. For detailed information on
our treks in Tibet, visit the Trek Descriptions.
Bhutan Bhutan is the most mysterious and diverse of all the
Himalayan Kingdoms. For centuries, a traditional
Buddhist culture has thrived in isolation from the rest
of the world. It is a land of contrast, lush forested
valleys, fortified monasteries and sacred pristine
mountains. For detailed information on our treks in
Bhutan, visit the Trek Descriptions.
Sikkim Sikkim for many years was regarded as one of the last "Shangrilas"
in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness,
spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna and
its ancient Buddhist monasteries. Trekking in this
Kingdom is a superb introduction to the Himalayas. For
detailed information on our treks in Sikkim, visit the
Trek Descriptions.
Ladakh Ladakh and Zhanskar in the most remote northern part of
India bordering Tibet is a land of Mani walls and
monasteries, where prayer flags flutter on top of the
high passes with the world's highest roads and people
living at the highest altitudes on earth. For detailed
information on our treks in India, visit the Trek
