Nepal
|
Since Nepal first opened its frontiers to foreign visitors in the fifties, it has captured the minds of Mountaineers and explorers from all over the world. Today Nepal has established itself as the true home of Adventure. Not only for mountaineers and trekkers but also to all other adventure seekers.
Nepal has an unsurpassed range of environments, ranging from the lowland of Terai with its luxuriant jungle and exotic wildlife through sub-tropical forests and lush terraced farmland in sweltering valleys to arid high-altitude meadows, snowy mountain passes and glaciers and the summits of the highest peaks on earth. Nepal is not only a paradise for adventure seekers, but a visit is a scenic revelation and an education in itself to all visitors.
Trekking in Nepal is a truly amazing experience. From the warm and lush vegetation of the lower hills to the icy slopes of the highest mountainous range on earth, you will encounter some of the most stunning scenery and the most friendly people imaginable. It's the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and to relax and enjoy nature at its very best.

Trekking in Tibet
Locked away in its Himalayan fortress, Tibet has long exercised a unique hold on the imagination of the West: 'Shangri-La', 'the Land of Snows', 'the Rooftop of the World', Tibet is mysterious in a way that few other places are. Following virtual closure after the Chinese annexation of the Buddhist kingdom, Tibet was opened to foreign tourism in 1984. Closed to all but tour groups in 1987 after an uprising by Tibetans in Lhasa, and reopened in 1992.
Tibet offers some of the most awe-inspiring scenery in the world, and the sheer scale of the high-altitude valleys, mountains and lakes in which human habitation is but a speck on the landscape is humbling. Trekking in the valleys, over passes and trough arid open landscape of the Tibetan plateau is an experience that you can't get anywhere else on earth. Two of the most famous mountains in Tibet are Everest and Shishapangma, a trek to the base camp of one of these two mountains will give you an experience of a lifetime. We combine most of our treks with a visit to Lhasa, the heart and soul of Tibet and an object of devout pilgrimage a city of wonders. To give you the full insight in Tibet and it's people.

Bhutan the Dragon Kingdom
Bhutan often revered as the "Land of the Peaceful Dragon", is still regarded as one of the last "Shangrilas" in the Himalayan region because of its remoteness, its spectacular mountain terrain, varied flora and fauna and its unique ancient Buddhist monasteries. It is in the relatively unexplored pockets of Asia, which allows only a limited number of discerning travellers in order to protect its fragile environment and culture.
The fifty minutes flight from Kathmandu to Paro can truly be described as a flight into fantasy. During the flight, a first hand close up view of Mt. Everest, Mt. Kanchenjunga and other famous peaks become a reality. Biweekly flights between these two kingdoms have made travel easier to the long isolated Dragon Kingdom of Bhutan.
