Item description

Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan are three gems of Himalayas. All of these countries survived historic mighty enemies until very recently keeping its culture untouched. Nepal is diverse geographically, culturally and biologically. It's southern plane is as high as 70 m which vertically rises to the top of the world, Mt. Everest within the distance of 180 km only. This variation in landscape creates biodiversity. Nepal's tropical forests shelters many endangered species of flora such as the tree fern, screw pine and several rare orchids and endangered mammals such as tiger, rhino, wild elephant, gaur (Bos gaurus), striped hyena, sloth bear and Gangetic dolphin. The foothills of the Himalayas are famous for trekking. This provides ground for adventure lovers of all grade and age. Trekking is the best way of experiencing Himalayan scenery and culture.
There are many hidden Sangri Las like Mustang, Tsum Valley and Dolpo, which were restricted until very recently and are traveled by very few. Bhutan is another Himalayan Kingdom reflecting incredible geographical and ecological diversity. The Thunder Dragon kingdom of Bhutan is true mystical bliss enveloped in its natural splendor. This Himalayan paradise is still wrapped in a time, recollected by many as “those good old days”.
Tibet on the other hand is considered as roof of the world. It's altitude and remoteness isolated it from rest of the world, which has contributed to the creation of its unique culture. It's lofty perch high above the hurly-burly of the lowlands has shaped Tibet's other-worldly attitudes and discouraged even hardy colonists from establishing a foothold.
