Nepal
Nepal is our beautiful neighbouring country. Most of the flights will land at Kathmandu airport and proceed towards Pokhara. Pokhara is the tourist capital of Nepal and the starting point for most of the treks. You have guided treks in the nearby mountains, which can be a little expensive. The Weather is pleasant, so you can just visit around as it is much cheaper than Kathmandu. The Annapurna circuit is the famous point for all the trekkers.

Burma is famous for its beautiful landscapes of fields, lakes, beaches and vast stretches of unspoiled landscapes with picture perfect sunsets. Ngapali beach is a premier beach in Myanmar, which has a range of adventure activities like snorkeling, kayaking, cycling and golfing.
