Feel the joy of soul expansion at the rooftop of the world!
Our Journey incorporates many of the major attractions of these ancient Buddhist and Hindu Kingdoms. Beginning in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, we are surrounded by Himalayan peaks as we take a glimpse of medieval times revealed in Kathmandu's fascinating wooden buildings and temples, narrow streets, and palaces. Included is a stay in the famous Chitwan National Wildlife Park to enjoy elephant-back pursuits and the wonderful wildlife, including the elusive tiger.
 Six days in Bhutan - Land of the Thunder Dragon
Thought by many to be the world's last true 'Shangri-La', our journey to Bhutan is a very exciting one. This beautiful country is much as Tibet once was – and still free from the commercialism now seen in most places around the world, increasingly so even in Tibet.
• Experience the deep spiritual significance of this precious country.
• Visit Tatsang Monastery, Paro
• also Thimpu’s sacred sites, Punakha and Babesa
