About this tour
Step into a world of contrasts on this unique journey through Eastern India and Bhutan. Begin in Kolkata, where the legacy of British India and colourful street life combine to create a feast for the senses. Then enjoy a taste of Himalayan charm, as we ascend to Darjeeling, visiting tea estates and riding on the UNESCO-listed Toy Train. Crossing into Bhutan, we discover a land of sacred monasteries, fluttering prayer flags, and dramatic mountain landscapes — from the cliffside Tiger’s Nest to the serene dzongs of Thimphu and Punakha.
