OVERVIEW
In the Himalayas, people exude a warmth that belies the forbidding peaks their countries are built around. On this journey, we also observe wildlife in abundance and celebrate the culture of tea in the hills of Darjeeling. Our explorations are complemented with stays in residences that embrace the natural beauty of their surrounds. This immersion of Nepal, Bhutan and India is reserved for just 24 guests.

AERIAL VIEWS OF MOUNT EVEREST
Enjoy breathtaking panoramas of Mount Everest and its surrounding Himalayan peaks during a spectacular scenic flight. This exhilarating experience includes close-up views of 20 of Eastern Nepal’s highest and most awe-inspiring mountains.
CHITWAN NATIONAL PARK WILDLIFE SAFARIS
While staying at the riverside Taj Meghauli Serai, within Chitwan National Park, we explore our flourishing surrounds by river, road, and on foot. Search for rhinos, leopards and tigers, while being led by our expert local guide.
SUBLIME STAYS AT BHUTAN'S SIX SENSES PROPERTIES
Within the Six Senses properties in Thimphu, Punakha and Paro, we are pampered within exquisitely tranquil surrounds. Each lodge features its own particular allure, including valley views and inspired design, as we relax and recharge for further discoveries to come.
ASCEND TO TIGER'S NEST
Hike to the sacred Taktsang monastery, or Tiger’s Nest, built into vertical cliffs 900 metres above Paro Valley. Hike from the valley floor, negotiating high-altitude pathways for striking views of the monastery, as well as the valley below.
DARJEELING AND AN IMMERSION INTO TEA CULTURE
The green hills of West Bengal are adorned with sprawling tea plantations. We explore Darjeeling, known as the ‘champagne of teas’; discover the production secrets of Makaibari Tea Estate; and meet with a resident connoisseur for tastings. The celebrated rail journey from Darjeeling to Ghoom grants us further fascinating perspectives.
BROWSE THE MALLICK GHAT FLOWER MARKET
Our senses are stimulated during a visit to Mallick Ghat Flower Market, where vast swathes of yellow and orange marigolds line the floors of market stalls. Fresh flowers of myriad other species also compete for our attention at Asia’s largest flower market.
