We have designed Himalayan destinations of Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan which are three beautiful Himalayan countries of Asia.The land of Thunder Dragon, also known as last Shangri-La, is land located country which lies between Tibet in the North and India in the South, East and West. Bhutan's landscape ranges from subtropical plains in the south to the Sub-alpine Himalayan heights in the north, with some mountain peaks exceeding 7,000 meters (23,000 ft). The state population is 691,141, major number of Buddhist with the second larger number if Hindu. Thimpu is a capital of Bhutan. The climate of Bhutan varies with altitude, from subtropical in the south to all ever snow in the north. Bhutan has five different seasons: summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring. Western Bhutan has the heavier monsoon rains; southern Bhutan has hot humid summers and cool winters; central and eastern Bhutan is temperate and drier than the west.
Nepal is land located country between India and Tibet. It is located an area of 147181 sq km and has different landscape and culture as well as temples and monasteries. Our combined tour covers Kathmandu valley tour and Chitwan national park where you will have an experience of Flora and Fauna. Another destination is Pokhara which is the second biggest city of Nepal and also called city of paradise. It has beautiful caves, waterfalls, lakes and stupas.
Our third destination, Tibet, has been a mysterious land of lakes and rivers, mighty snow peaks, and beautiful and ancient monasteries - with its spiritual air, an unearthly mystical land of Buddhist culture and philosophy. Tibet emerged in the 7th century as a unified empire, but it soon divided into a variety of territories. The atmosphere is severely dry nine months of the year, and average annual snowfall is only 18 inches, due to the rain shadow effect. Western passes receive small amounts of fresh snow each year but remain traversable all year round. Low temperatures are prevalent throughout these western regions, where bleak desolation is unrelieved by any vegetation beyond the size of low bushes, and where wind sweeps unchecked across vast expanses of arid plain. The Indian monsoon exerts some influence on eastern Tibet. Northern Tibet is subject to high temperatures in the summer and intense cold in the winter. This combined tour takes you to visit Dalai Lama's Potala and Norbulingka and visit Barkhor Market in Lhasa.
