Nepal+India+Bhutan

If you do one trip to India, we recommend this as a - best of - experience, taking in the famous Taj Mahal, the Indian capital of New Delhi and the stunning architecture and landscapes of Rajasthan. A burst of colours and culture plus the hospitality and food that the world's most populous country is renowned for. Unforgettable India.

A trek to Everest Base Camp is undoubtedly one of the great treks of the world. The Himalaya houses 50 peaks of 7000 metres or above and the Khumbu Valley, which leads up to Everest, is smack bang in the centre of it all. The scenery is absolutely amazing. The trek is 9 nights and 10 days in total with nights pre and post in Kathmandu. We are accommodated in quaint, comfortable tea houses throughout. Our itinerary however differs to the mainstream in that we culminate the trek camping a night at Base Camp itself. We then helicopter back to Kathmandu thereby avoiding a 3 day walk out.

A sample trip from 2024, with a tigers/National parks add on if you wish*. The Trans-Himalayan region of Ladakh is one of the last frontiers for wildlife tourism. A winter trip meets the elements head-on in a stunning and apparently bleak landscape. But within these high valleys created by folds of the Great Himalaya is perhaps the highest density of the most elusive of the great cats – the snow leopard. The very name evokes all that is most wild, mysterious and elusive in nature – for this is an animal that comes cloaked not just in the subtle beauty of its own coat but also in the drama of the harsh and magnificent environment that it dominates. The Ladakh region is a high altitude cold desert and for the snow leopard to survive it has a prey base of bharal (blue sheep), ibex and marmots. Wolves, foxes and wild dogs are other predators in the same area. This is a true life changing adventure. Photo Credit Surya Ramachandran

The last remaining great Himalayan Kingdom, Bhutan is famous for its magnificent mountain scenery, incredible architecture and colourful culture. A diverse natural Shangri-La, the country boasts a staggering variety of landscapes, as well as an incredible array of flora and fauna. Set in one of the world’s most breathtaking mountain chains, Bhutan is famed for its range of trekking opportunities. Enigmatic and shrouded in myth, Bhutan has the striking architecture of its mountain forts and monasteries to revered Buddhist religious figures painted or carved onto the craggy cliffs. Colourful prayer flags flutter on mountain passes and prayer wheels turn slowly to the soundtrack of clear mountain streams. We love Bhutan.

This itinerary takes in the land of the “Raj”, the golden triangle including Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Udaipur and Ranthambore. The landscapes and architecture of this very historic part of India is breathtaking. Add to that the possibility of seeing tigers in Ranthambore and you have the ingredients of an incredibly diverse trip. Speaking of ingredients, the food in this part of the world is amazing. You'll be accommodated in incredible hotels which rate as some of the best in the world.
