 Bhutan Tours
The “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, jealously guards its lifestyles
and traditions.
Nestled deep in the eastern Himalaya, unknown to much of the world,
it is a land of magnificent mountains, lush valleys, thick forests,
a serene lifestyle and traditions unchanged for centuries. Towns are
little more than villages, with quiet streets lined by decorative
shops and houses. Colorful prayer flags highlight natural and man-made
features of the landscape, adorning houses and bridges; standing atop
ridges and mountain passes and in forest clearings. Our Bhutan tours and treks introduce you to a new world.
 The
tsechu is a festival in honour of Guru Rinpoche. Each dance commemorates
an episode inhis life.Dancers wear spectacular costumes, often decorated
with carved bone. For certain dances, they wear masks representing animals,
fear-some deities, skulls and manifestations of Guru Rimpoche.
The dates & the duration of tsechus vary from one district to another.

 Mongolia Tours & Treks
Mongolia - a word evocative of vast open spaces, of nomadic herders and the
thundering “devil's horsemen” of Genghis Khan.
One of Earth's last remaining wilderness frontiers, largely inaccessible to western travelers until recently, Mongolia offers a rare glimpse of an ancient nomadic culture that has changed little over the centuries.
Discover in this untouched land the rare combination of ancient Buddhist traditions, a nomadic horse-based culture and an incredible natural beauty - high mountains, vast grasslands, volcanic lakes and the expanses of the harsh Gobi Desert.
Tours by 4WD, trekking, horse riding, camel treks.
 The
main event of the year in Ulaanbataar is the Naadam Festival - although
primarily a sports event, the atmosphere and mass-gathering of people
make this a great time to be here.
