HIMALAYAN JOURNEYS (SKTBT-104) |

|
8 Days Tibet Overland Tour |
|||
This is an adventure trip for travelers limited on time & resources. The breath taking trans Himalayan flight from Kathmandu to Lhasa & the overland route from Lhasa to Nepal border offers truly spectacular views of the Himalayas, high mountain passes, ancient monasteries, fortresses, people & culture from a bygone era. Though this trip is scheduled as a fly in / drive out program; it can also be operated as drive in/fly out, depending on practical necessity. Sikkim Holidays do not make any pretensions of offering very low budget tours in unmanageable big groups. Our group generally tends to be smaller & we make every effort, under the circumstances, to provide quality services at very reasonable prices. Our tour itineraries are better designed, with visits to Shalu Monastery, Sakya Monastery & Milarepa Caves which most operators skip. |
