Join Asian art scholar Christopher Noey for a transformative journey through Ladakh, Nepal, and Bhutan, three Himalayan kingdoms safeguarding Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Meet artisans, thought leaders, and monks preserving age-old practices and discover how each region represents Buddhist principles through its own visual language. Explore Ladakh's majestic monasteries, including Alchi Monastery, home to radiant 11th-century murals painted in lapis lazuli and gold, and meet local Nepalese experts to view ancient monuments and Kathmandu's fifth-century temples with intricate stone carvings. In Bhutan, where prosperity is measured in Gross National Happiness and only a limited number of travelers are welcomed each year, visit sacred sites like the cliffside Tiger's Nest Monastery and meet artisans reviving ancient pigment-making techniques. Stay in luxury tents beneath Ladakh's clear night skies and Bhutan's serene river lodges, immersing yourself in the enduring spiritual and artistic legacy of Buddhism.
