India Nepal Discovery
Traveling through India and Nepal is a kaleidoscopic journey – the diversity and richness in culture, architecture and beauty fit together in creating their historical tapestry.
From an imposing blend of traditional Rajasthani and Mughal art; the magnificent monument of love – the Taj Mahal with its marble exterior reflecting rose and golden tints at sunrise and sunset; the fine frescoes and mural paintings of Orcha; the erotic love making image carvings and the temples of Khajuraho and the fine arts and crafts of Varanasi to the snow covered peaks of the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal lying in a wide valley hidden behind a wall of nearly impenetrable mountains where you can visit Patan, the city of fine arts, the salesroom at the Tibetan Refugee Craft Centre, innumerable temples and architectural showpieces and a colossal Buddhist stupa, one of the largest in the world, the India Nepal Discovery is an experience you will treasure for a lifetime.
