2. In the business of tourism we have created a niche as specialisttour planners on exotic destinations. We believe, in an age of distinctive travel objectives, options in alternative destination tours should invigorate tour facilitation . Which is why we steer clear of the conventional-fixed-plan ‘me too’ tours and present places that are least invaded. Each tour is flexibly tailored to accommodate the pace that suits the discerning traveller. Bhutan – the land of the dragon In this presentation on Himalayas we bring you destination alternatives that can fit your wish of ‘precious getaway in serene nature’ with options in leisure, honeymoon, adventure or simply discovery of the unfathomed. None who have been to these Himalayan coves can fail to be impressed, overawed and enriched by its incredible beauty, its magnificent ambience and its cultural mysteries and delights. We bring you these lovely options beginning from Bhutan in the east … Sikkim – the hidden Eden Darjeeling – places extraordinaire Nepal – the picturesque place Uttaranchal – divine attractions Himachal – strikingly beautiful Kashmir – paradise on earth

3. The 2500 km long Himalayas is a wonderful eco region of rich green valleys and snow white crescents. The ambience in misty sylvan surroundings is charmingly vivid with a rich blue sky against which the highest peaks in the world stand out sharply. And in the folds of these mountains live indigenous hill communities of Hidden Eden insulated from urban influence. India Dreams Speciality Tours offer customised tours in this impressive eco region especially in those areas that have not been transformed into urban jungles and retain its virgin charms showcasing the Himalayan grandeur in awe inspiring spectacle. www.omleisure.org Tel/Fax: [+91] 0674-2542222

This country has everything delightfully refreshing in its domain... things hardly seen or experienced by the outside world. The ubiquitous Dzongs & Lakhangs reflect the ascetic spirits of the Bhutanese people. While their sportive side is adequately reflected in their love for horse riding and archery. Thimpu, the capital city makes a wonderful picture of traditions in lifestyle, culture, costumes, architecture etc., set against modern luxurious hotels, restaurants and shopping marts.
