One of the hot launches for 2024! We combined the headhunters in Nagaland with the always magical Bhutan in the perfect itinerary in the best season to visit the Himalayas. Nagaland, a region unlike any other, our expedition takes us off the beaten path, winding through jungles and the majestic Himalayas to encounter some of Asia's most fascinating tribes, including the Konyak "headhunters" of Nagaland. Bhutan, a sovereign Himalayan Kingdom, is renowned for its stunning Buddhist monasteries and the iconic Tiger's Nest Monastery, making it a must-visit destination for hikers seeking breathtaking trails and incredible scenery. A true adventure that will rarely come by easily! SAY YES now and meet your new travel family!
