Comfort is an important byword in travel, and we assure this in both transportation and accommodation - all in remote and exotic locales with exceptional opportunities to appreciate nature and culture at its finest. Although the demands of each tailor-made trip vary, travelers usually need only be capable of walking over uneven ground at an easy pace in tropical conditions. Accompanied by a full complement of Sherpa porters, tours pass the days hiking beautiful mountain trails, and spend nights camped beneath brilliant stars. This trip concludes with a breath-taking mountain flight around Mount Everest. Green barley and golden canola paint plateau fields.
Cobalt lakes reflect cascading snow-peaks.
Valley winds snap orange prayer flags. Monastic fortresses reverberate mystic chants. These are the mesmerizing sights and sounds of fabled Tibet encountered on an overland journey from Khatmandu, Nepal to regal Lhasa, home of the 1,000-room Potala, once the winter palace of the Dalai Lama. This adventure concludes with a fabulous Himalayan mountain flight above the world's mightiest peaks, landing back in delightful Kathmandu, for a day in relative luxury prior to homeward departures. If either Tibet or Nepal sound like your cup of tea, there are October departures for each.
