The Eastern Himalayas versus the Western Desert

The eastern Himalayas tour includes three countries, namely Nepal, India and Bhutan. This alone explains the excitement of the trip. Beginning with the Himalayas cradling the cities of Thimpu, Paro, Kathmandu and Gangtok, the Eastern Himalayas tourism will cover a series of high altitude lakes and Buddhist monasteries. It also includes some important temples and finally the mountains you would want to bow before. This belt still conceals many unexplored areas awaiting discovery. The next could be named after you!

If you shun the high altitude and the discomfort it brings along, you can try the west end of India into the Thar Desert. Heritage tourism of Rajasthan offers you a sneak peek into the desert style of living with modern amenities plugged in place. Rajasthan holidays ushers you into the marvellous forts and palaces now turned into luxury hotels to give you a feel of the Maharaja life. These forts often have blood curdling histories attached to them. It is a good idea to hire a guide to know the stories of the places. Some of the many palaces are now turned into museums. 

Apart from the palaces, tourism in Rajasthan welcomes you into the various coloured cities still bearing the torches of their chivalrous past – proudly carrying the history in their veins.

Heavy rush is anticipated in the month of October for Rajasthan holiday 2013. During this particular time of the year a huge influx of Indian tourists often cause crowding in pockets. This chirpy but pleasant crowd only adds colour to the vacation.
