INDIA & THE HIMALAYAS

India a 60000 year old civilization and there is nothing to match it

Bhutan and Nepal, two kingdoms, Bhutan, one of tradition open to visitors only 3 decades ago; the last Shangri La. Nepal, nestled and unsettled among monasteries, mountain ranges and Maoists

Tibet, devotional intensity, where Earth touches Heaven

Sri Lanka, a taste satisfies exquisitely
