The tour starts with arrival into Kolkata, India. We begin the Himalayan journey traveling across Sikkim and Darjeeling enjoying spectacular scenics and visiting amazing old monasteries and immersing in traditional Buddhist Himalayan culture.

Visit marvelous monasteries and enjoy the dramatic beauty of the Himalayan Mountains. In addition, visit ancient cities of Gangtok, Rumtek and Pemayangtse.

A stunning drive through forests of oak, pine and orchids with the towering snow-capped Kangchendzonga range in the background brings us to Darjeeling. The tranquil environs with quaint villages, cascading waterfalls and the surrounding hills is a perfect setting for the tea estates and monasteries. One highlight in Darjeeling is a ride on the famous toy train up to Ghoom Monastery.

Enjoy the drive from Darjeeling to Paro, Bhutan with stunning views of plains, jungles and traditional Bhutanese farm houses.

We celebrate the vibrant Paro Festival. Then set out for Thimphu and then Punakha, the winter residence of the Central Monastic Body.
