Hiking the Himalayas – how much better can it get?

�

That’s what RWH tour leader Adrian Flatt is wondering; He’s on top of the world following his recent trip to Bhutan, Darjeeling and Sikkim.

Fine views from characterful hotels perched on prominent ridges in the Himalayan foothills … high snows towering over the dark green forests of the inner Himalayas … strings of Bhuddist flags looping up to flutter their prayers into the breeze: how much better can it get?

The stunning colours of the costumes of the local people, the verdant tea plantations in their clipped uniformity –it’s all awe-inspiring. But what is the best thing about this far-flung tour?

I’ll tell you. The best aspect is the friendly giant Anand Joshi,our expert local guide. Born and schooled in Darjeeling, the ever-cheerfulAnand is quite possibly the best companion any traveller could want in this exotic destination.
