No
other place like the Himalaya fires the imagination of trekkers,
climbers, adventurers and travelers around the world. The
world’s highest peaks, glaciers, massive ice, snow
and rock walls, vast sub-ranges, deep valleys, torrential
rivers, pine forests, tropical jungles, high altitude deserts
… the variety of sites and environments is endless.
A unique synthesis of Hindu and Buddhist cultures, a rapidly
evolving modern society and a variety of unique ethnic groups
found nowhere else in the world - these are just some aspects
that make Nepal and the greater Himalaya of India and Tibet
unmistakably unique. The western ranges of the Himalayas
in India offer more treks in fascinating and different locales,
from the dry Tibetan expanses of Ladakh and Zanskar, the
spectacular Himalayan peaks of Uttaranchal to the lush highlands
of Sikkim. And Tibet offers its unique Mahayana Buddhist
culture and history, still alive and vibrant in this changing
world, as well as treks that visit the drier northern side
of the Himalayas, the holy mountain of Kailas and other
locations. The places and peoples of the Nepal, Tibet and
India Himalaya wait for you to discover them. |
