This tour is one of the most exotic and best experience amongst the tours offered by us. In this one gets to see the rich Indian Heritage in Delhi and then move on to the source of the Ganges River which is the life line of the whole of north India. The faith that people have in this river ( almost all the Indians worship this river as a goddess ) and the life around it makes it a completely different experience for first time visiters. The serene and tranquil surroundings of himalayas and the adventure of white water rafting in one of the best and safest stretches of rafting in the world on river Ganges makes it a complete experience of Indian Himalayas.
The trip moves on to Nepal and then on to the roof of the world in Tibet. The simply amazing locales of Tibet and the visit to the medivial town of Bhaktpur in nepal makes it one of the most interesting tours that one would have taken in a life time.
