The

of the

16 night escorted adventure departing 11 November 2017

This remarkable journey of exploration includes a five night tour of Bhutan and a seven night journey along the mighty Brahmaputra River as it meanders through Assam.

Mystical Bhutan, sandwiched between the Tibetan plateau and India and closed to the outside world until 1974 is quietly revealing itself to visitors and is a nation which gauges wealth by the happiness of its people.

The cruise on the Brahmaputra River will give you the opportunity to meet tribal people who have little or no contact with the outside world, explore ancient temples and visit tea plantations. The undoubted highlight will be a visit to Kaziranga National Park, home to so many of the world’s most endangered species.
