Himalaya Tour: A Real 32-Day Story from Bhutan to Tibet

A 32-day Himalaya Tour is not the kind of trip you plan on a Tuesday night after watching a mountain documentary. It is the kind of trip you decide to take after years of quiet daydreaming, one major life conversation, and the moment you finally say out loud: “Ok. We are actually doing this.”

Janie and Stan, a couple from the United States, said that sentence. They sold most of their belongings and committed to a life of travel. Their 32-day Himalaya Tour is what happened next, across three countries, on us at Experience Tibet.
