10-Nights Wild & Ancient Himalaya: Nepal & Bhutan

Exploring Nature & Culture in Two Historic Mountain Kingdoms

Geographically diverse Nepal holds the world's highest mountains and lowland jungle plains. Safaris in the Terai reveal its captivating wildlife as we search for rhinos, sloth bears and leopards roaming the subtropical forests. In neighboring Bhutan, quality of life is measured in terms of Gross National Happiness, not merely material measures. Though Bhutan is a tiny country, it is a global conservation leader, proud to be not only carbon-neutral, but carbon-negative. The “Land of the Thunder Dragon” remains dedicated to preserving its deep Buddhist traditions and pristine landscapes. Visitor presence is still light, and a journey among its serene monasteries, Himalayan peaks, glacial rivers and peaceable villages reveals Bhutan's singular beauty. Combine an adventure in these two ancient kingdoms for a nature sojourn that will move your spirit.
