Seeing Bangkok with ease
In Bangkok, our tour guide, Ying, was wonderful. She navigated all the sights with ease, gave us interesting tidbits on Thai culture and history, helped us pick the right food at all the restaurants, and was just a pleasure to be around. We had a great time, and it was so nice to not have to worry about any of the details. More

Asia Highlights and Sharon
Asia Highlights, specifically Sharon, has been wonderfully helpful as we get ready for a 2024 excursion to Thailand.

Thailand, Singapore, Bali
In Thailand, Tanny and Nori(Suparp), were both incredible! They were both fun, funny, and full of knowledge and made sure we got the full experience. They went the extra mile and always made sure we had cold bottled water and towels to cleanse our hands. In Singapore, Nicole was an absolute gem. She was so kind and knowledgeable and guided us in the right direction to make our day as enjoyable as possible. She helped us choose a top notch local lunch and coffee spot in China Town and taught us so much about the country! In Bali, Emon was an absolute joy. He was very knowledgeable and kind and absolutely made sure we were feeling comfortable and was willing to be flexible with us. He was fun to converse with and made our time traveling between destinations so enjoyable! I cannot recommend Asia Highlights enough! Accommodations, travel arrangements and guided tours were all a breeze. More

Large multi-generational holiday in Thailand
The holiday was wonderful. Our guides, Mr Monchai (Bangkok), and Ms Tipagorn (Tippy) (Chiang Mai) were exceptional. Travelling in a large multigenerational group with many children requires patience and our guides truly understood that. Mr Monchai and Ms Tippy shared their extensive knowledge of the many wonderful places we visited, and were flexible to take us to additional places along the way based on discussions. While everyday was busy, having them greet us with patience and a smile truly made this a memorable holiday. The hotels we stayed at were equally wonderful and went above and beyond to celebrate not only my parents 50th anniversary but also celebrate 2 milestone birthdays that occurred. We will cherish this holiday for many years to come. We hope to use Asia Highlights again. More

Suggested Route

Suggested Itinerary for Inspiration
Your preferences design the real journey. We're ready to create a wonderful India, Nepal, and Bhutan tour for you.
Welcome to India. Meet our representative in the arrival hall of the airport and then he will escort you to your hotel and help you checking in.
Visit the biggest Mosque in India, Jama Masjid, to see how the Islamic and Indian cultures combine in this great architectural structure. Imagine how magnificent and solemn it is when 20,000 Muslims pray there. Then, take a rickshaw ride through the bustling Chandni Chowk market to the Red Fort.Explore this magnificent architecture of the Mughal dynasty.
In the afternoon, continue your visit to Qutub Minar. where Qutbuddin Aibak announced the advent of the Muslim sultans. It is a symbol of victory.

Drive to Agra in the morning and explore the erstwhile capital of the Mughal Empire. After lunch, visit Agra Fort, which is also called Red Fort. Imagine the luxurious lifestyle of the royal family in this fantastic palace. Don't forget to view the Taj Mahal in the distance from the Khas Mahal, feeling the loneliness of Shah Jahan as he missed his loved one. Then you will visit Mehtab Bagh for a romantic sunset view of the Taj Mahal. The Yamuna River flows between the garden and Taj Mahal peacefully, just like Shah Jahans love to his wife has never stopped.

Visit the Taj Mahal in the early morning. The closer you walk to this ivory-white marble mausoleum, the more moved you will be by the spectacular architecture and the true love that sparked its creation. It is a miracle in the history of architecture and also a symbol of the most beautiful emotion of human beings
And then you will visit the Itmad-ud-Daula (the baby Taj Mahal) and be impressed by the thousands of beautiful inlaid patterns.
You will be driven from Agra to Jaipur in the afternoon.

On the way to Amber Fort, you will have a picture stop at the landmark of Jaipur, the Hawa Mahal. After entering the Amber For, you will feel that you have stepped back in time to the great dynasty. The corridor with elegant pillars, the lovely colors of the patterns on the walls, and the shining mirrors in Sheesh Mahal, any of them can make you forget to leave.
In the afternoon, continue your visit to Jaipurs City Palace. The abundant exhibits will highlight what life was like for the maharajas of Jaipur. Then visit the Jantar Mantar. Be impressed by the wisdom of the ancient Indians.

Visit the less touristy Nahargarh Fort in the morning to get a great view of Jaipur. It was originally built to enhance the city defenses and eventually became a summer house for the royal family. Your guide will show you the living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, washrooms, and cloakrooms of the maharajas and their wives. The beautiful colors on the walls of each room will impress you because of the natural resources they came from. The maharajas and their wives have gone forever now only the monkeys live nearby, guarding this old but beautiful fort.

You will fly from Delhi to Kathmandu. You will walk around Kathmandu Durbar Square. You will get excited when the old temples and palaces come into view one by one. The whole square looks like a museum in the open air. You will travel back in time to the Middle Ages.
In the late afternoon, move to Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple),which is a great place to enjoy the sunset and the birds-eye view of Kathmandu.You will find out how well Hinduism and Buddhism combine there. The eyes on the pagoda seem to have a magical power, which can comfort your mind.

Visit Pashupatinath Temple in the afternoon, which is the most important Hindu temple in Nepal. You can feel the spiritual strength even if you are not a Hindu. Dont be surprised if you see a funeral at a cremation ghat it could be a moment that stuns your soul.
Continue to Boudhanath Stupa to experience the piety of Tibetan Buddhism. Join the monks as they walk around the pagoda to immerse yourself in the culture of Tibetan Buddhism.

Take a morning flight to another secret place hidden in the Himalayas. You will be driven to the capital of Bhutan, Thimphu from Paro.
On the way, you will visit the Buddha Dordenma.It is a massive golden statue of Shakyamuni on top of a hill and 125,000 smaller Buddha statues have been placed within it.
Afterward, visit the Memorial Chorten. This large Tibetan-style chorten is a landmark of Thimphu. For many Bhutanese, it is where they perform their daily worship.

You will start your Thimphu exploration with Tashichho Dzong. Tashichho Dzong has traditionally been the seat of the Dharma Raja and the summer capital of the country. It is the headquarters of the central government, just like the White House in America, Downing Street in Britain, and Zhongnanhai in China.
Visit the Folk Heritage Museum to discover the Bhutanese folk heritage and rural history and visit the National Library of Bhutan, which houses a collection of sacred religious books and priceless Buddhist manuscripts.
Finally, you will visit Bhutan Post Office Headquarters where you can make stamps with your own photos and put them on postcards for your family and friends.

On the way to Punakha, you will visit Simtokha Dzong and Dochula Pass. At the Dochula Pass where you can have a stunning 360-degree panoramic view of the Himalayan mountain range. You will be impressed by the snowcapped mountains and the 108 chortens gracing the mountain pass.

There are 13 taktsang or "tiger lair" caves in which Padmasambhava meditated. This site has been recognized as a sacred place and was visited by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 1646.
