Trip Description
Only a few trips on earth can combine such diversities in a single trip as our India, Nepal & Bhutan Odyssey. It is crafted and marked with such a pace that it carefully examines myriad aspects such as culture, tradition, and natural and religious landscapes that define these countries. Be it India’s captivating diversities, Nepal’s impressive mountains, and Bhutan’s pristine environments and quaintness.
Structurally, these countries may offer fascinating contrast in essence and perception. But one common yet distinctive feature that brings forth the nuanced and palpable aspect of the trip as a unit is the warmth and congeniality of the PEOPLE. In this trip, we center on this theme (people) through significant interaction with them and their culture, with visits to famous monuments.
