Cool Retreats

 

The majestic Himalayan mountain range stretches across six countries in Asia and is home to the world's tallest mountain - Mount Everest in Nepal, which is actually just one of over 30 peaks over 7315m high and an amazing eight out of ten of the world’s highest mountains are in the region. India, Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan are draped along the spine of the Himalayas, all offering spectacular mountain scenery.

In Nepal take a breathtaking scenic flight over the majestic Himalayan mountains, soaking up the views of a seeming endless chain of snow capped peaks, as you fly over glaciers and lakes, rivers, gorges and see the towering Mt Everest. Or take a trek through the beautiful Annapurna or Everest region. Soak up views of Everest Rongbuk in Tibet - the world's highest monastery. In India pamper yourself at the Ananda Spa in the foothills of the Himalayas, explore the soaring hilltops and 'other worldly' landscape of Leh and Ladakh, or head to Shimla, a picturesque hill station and former summer capital of British India.
