Nepal & Tibet

12 Nights & 13 Days

Overview

A trip that merges the serene vibe of Hinduism and different sects of Buddhism in Nepal and Tibet. The untreated Tibet is the cynosure of all things beautiful. Ringed by towering mountain ranges, like the Kunlun Range in the north and Himalayas to the south, the landscape of Tibet is also dominated by the deserts of the Changtang and the Tsaidam Basin and silvery rivers that flow from China. These offer great diversity in landscape, vegetation, and wildlife in the valleys. Tibet’s unimaginable scapes and difficulty in access has intrigued travellers for centuries. A flourishing culture and unique lifestyle, makes it an emblem of off-beat destinations of the subcontinent.
