Bhutan

"Land of the Thunder Dragon" - its very name conjures up the mystique of old Asia. Travel back through time in this peaceful and charming land.

Cambodia

Today, a quiet melancholy hangs over Cambodia, although this country was once the epicenter of a mighty Khmer kingdom which influenced a vast expanse of Southeast Asia.

China

From the Great Wall to the lost kingdom of Muli, come explore the far reaches of this vast, enigmatic country by trail, road, rail, and ship.

Everest

Walk alongside the Sherpa people and renowned mountaineers to the base of the world's loftiest peak. Snow Lion helps you set a personal high-altitude record.

India

Inundate your senses with the vibrancy of India. Snow Lion’s kaleidoscope of Indian adventure ranges from the steamy south to lofty northern highlands.

Himalaya

Snow Lion offers trekking and cultural overland expeditions from K2 in the Chinese and Pakistani Karakoram to Ladakh in northern India to Nepal and Bhutan in the east.

Japan

From frenetic Tokyo’s Shibuya district to peaceful Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, the ancient and the modern converge in Japan.

The Koreas

From the Silla and Joseon dynasties to Kim Jon Il and the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), explore the clash of cultures in South and North Korea.

K2

K2

Snow Lion offers two routes to K2: On one, we ascend from Kashgar in Chinese Turkestan crossing mighty rivers on camel; on another, we trek the Askole Glacier to the “Throne Room of the Mountain Gods.”

Ladakh

Austrian mountaineer and author Heinrich Harrer dubbed Ladakh “Little Tibet” because it shares the same geography, language, religion and culture of Greater Tibet.

Laos

Explore the Mekong River, from north to south the entire length of Lao, the least developed, least populated and most tranquil Southeast Asian country.

Mongolia

Celebrate Mongolia’s brief, yet exhilarating summer with its friendly nomads. We sightsee, hike, and fish by day; slumber in cozy yurts by night.

Nepal

Still the classic Himalayan destination, a trip to Nepal enlists you in a venerable lineage of great explorers. Once you’ve been there, you’ll understand why.

Southeast Asia

Let us entice you with gilded temples, white beaches, traditional villages, and jungle-entwined ruins to the colorful mosaic of Indochina.

Tibet

A trip across the “Roof of the World” satiates wanderlust unlike any journey on earth. Join us to peregrinate alongside pilgrims, caravans, and shepherds.

Vietnam

The Vietnamese language has multiple words for the color green which saturates the landscape from Halong Bay in the north to the Mekong Delta in the south.
