Discover the soul of South India in Kerala — where emerald hills, golden shores, and centuries of history come together. Your journey begins in Kochi’s spice-scented streets, then winds through Munnar’s misty tea plantations and into the tranquil backwaters aboard a private houseboat.
Finally, surrender to barefoot luxury in the Maldives. On Baros Island, white sands and turquoise waters await — the perfect ending to a journey where culture meets pure escape.
Taking flight
Your journey begins with a flight to Kolkata, India's cultural powerhouse. We'll arrange the perfect connections to get you there smoothly.
Kolkatta Awakens
Watch the City of Joy come alive! Wander through the colorful chaos of the flower market, marvel at the iconic Howrah Bridge, and discover the stark contrast between the colonial-era Victoria Memorial and the spiritual intensity of the Kali Temple.
Bhutan Beckons
Fly into Paro's dramatic valley, then drive to Thimphu, Bhutan's charming capital. Stretch your legs with a visit to the quirky Takin preserve – where else can you meet a goat-antelope that's also a national animal?
Thimphu Treasures
Dive into Bhutanese culture at the National Memorial Chorten, where prayer wheels spin and locals gather. Watch students master traditional arts at the National Institute for Zorig Chusum – from intricate painting to wood carving.

Into the Valley
Descend into the subtropical Punakha Valley. Your prize? The magnificent Punakha Dzong, rising like a medieval vision where two rivers meet. This former capital still buzzes with monks and local life.
Punakha Paradise
Explore every corner of Punakha Dzong, a 17th-century masterpiece. With six stories of temples, hidden courtyards, and ancient artwork, it's like walking through living history.
Fortress Deep Dive
Cross the mountains one last time, taking in those sweeping Himalayan views. Settle into Paro Valley, where your Bhutanese adventure began.
Return to Paro
Start at Drukgyel Dzong's dramatic ruins, then visit the ancient Kyichu Lhakhang temple. Cap off your day at the National Museum and the commanding Paro Dzong – each stop more fascinating than the last.
Paro's Past
The big one: trek to Tiger's Nest Monastery. Yes, it's a climb (2,950 ft up), but watching this golden temple emerge from the mist, clinging to its cliff face, makes every step worth it. This is what Bhutan dreams are made of.
The Tiger's Liar
Fly back to Kolkata, your head full of prayer flags, mountain views, and monastery bells.
Farewell Bhutan
