Bhutan: the Hidden Kingdom
Our first day begins in Thimphu, the gentle and quiet capital of the kingdom. We visit the Tashichho Dzong, an impressive fortress-monastery with white walls and golden roofs, where the fervor of monks in prayer still resonates. We then head toward the hill of the Great Buddha Dordenma, a majestic statue dominating the entire valley and glowing in the morning light.
Nepal: Between Sky and Earth
Kathmandu is a feast for the senses — spiritual, noisy, colorful, alive. The valley has seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each telling a fragment of Nepal’s soul, and we will visit them all. We begin at Durbar Square, the historic heart of the city, where temples rise like wooden sculptures and alleys hum with prayers and laughter. Then comes the Old Market, a maze of scents and colors, where flowers, colored powders, and offerings blend together.
