A Combined trip of Sikkim & Bhutan takes you to the regions of the world’s most spectacular Himalayas. This heavenly retreat is bathed in hues of every shade - the flaming red rhododendrons, the sparkling white magnolias, the miles of undulating hillsides covered with emerald green tea bushes, the exotic forests of silver fir - all under the blanket of a brilliant azure sky dappled with specks of clouds, compellingly confirms Darjeeling as the QUEEN OF HILL STATIONS.

Here we will see Ashrams, Sadhus and Yoga Centres apart from a melee of pilgrims. On the whole this trek provides us a superb view of Indian Himalaya and a deep insight of Indian culture which has lived over 5000 years. We also visit ancient Hindu temple Badrinath, the last village before Tibet border, provides an insight of Hindu religion and its culture. Haridwar and Rishikesh, situated on the banks of river Ganga are another two important religious centres that we would visit towards the end of our tour.

This spectacular trek gives you a perfect blend of cultural interest and physical challenge. Dramatic canyons, majestic mountains, cascading waterfalls, pine and birch trees, together with the holy waters of India’s most sacred river make the Source of the Ganges a feast for the soul and senses.

This geographical isolation together with the esoteric nature of Buddhism practiced here has enabled its some ten thousand inhabitants to preserve and perpetuate their cultural identity.

The Indus valley which offers fabulous huge and rough landscapes alternating with vast and green oasis constitutes the major axis of Ladakh. The valley is full of all the colors of ladakhi’s life and their Buddhist and Tibetan cultures.
