RESIDENCE IN THE SNOW
In the high-altitude Great Himalayas, rugged mountain ranges with snow-capped peaks are interrupted only by abrupt ravines and gorges, windswept open plains and vast lakes in unlikely shades of blue. The southernSubhimalaya home to one of the richest ecosystems on the planet, where tropical forest proliferates and the most beautiful orchids and rhododendrons flourish. The natural beauty of the varied and desolate landscape that forms the separation between the Tibetan Plateau in the north and the river plains of the Indian subcontinent will leave no one untouched. There is therefore nothing like a trekking under a crystal clear Himalayan sky, the passing of Sherpa, Gurung and Thakalivillages, Tibetan monasteries and sacred lakes, scouring the skies for the most extraordinary birds above the 8,000m high peaks.
The Himalayas spread over Pakistan in the northwest to the south across Nepal and Bhutan and finally again to the northeast to Arunachal Pradeshis. Not only known for the elusive snow leopard that roams the world, around the circling Himalayan vultures and black-necked cranes, around the deepest Yarlung gorge on earth, but above all for the unforgivable
Mount Everest
, the highest mountain in the world that makes many mountaineering hearts beat faster.
