Description

Discover two of Asia's jewels, nestled between sky and mountains: Nepal and Bhutan. This unique tour takes you into the spectacular vastness of the Himalayas, between snow-capped peaks, lush valleys and timeless villages.

In Nepal, let yourself be seduced by breathtaking panoramas, iconic trekking trails and the living traditions of a welcoming people. Bhutan, nicknamed “the kingdom of happiness”, reveals its spiritual treasures: perched monasteries, prayer flags fluttering in the wind and a culture deeply rooted in Buddhism.
Authentic human encounters, grandiose nature and moments of mindfulness make this trip much more than a getaway: it's a true immersion in the soul of the Himalayas.

Highlights of the trip:
-The magnificent panoramas of the Himalayas
-The fascinating traditions of Nepal and Bhutan
-The excitement of the Thimphu Tshechu festival
-The visit to Taktsang (Tiger's Nest) monastery
