This month we are excited to welcome two specialists to our collection, Blue Poppy Tours & Treks in Bhutan and Nature Beyond in India. Both DMCs understand the requirements of the Australian market, and with the support of the Jones & Co team on the ground in Australia this makes the perfect combination.

India and Bhutan are an excellent combination, from rich culture to ancient history with the stunning backdrop of the Himalayas viewable in both countries.
North East India, in the region of Sikkim, is an unknown paradise for adventurous travellers who want to spend time off the beaten track. From Red Panda encounters to tea plantations, see a different side to the normal hustle and bustle of India.

Bhutan is the land of happiness, with limited tourism numbers, no site is ever overcrowded.  Featuring an abundance of peaceful monasteries, with the most famous site, of Tiger's Nest, resting cliffside at over 3000 feet, you won’t be disappointed by the untouched nature of Bhutan. Experience some of the utmost colour-filled festivals in the countryside. Bhutan’s unique offerings will intrigue the most avid traveller.
