This journey unites the spiritual discovery with majestic landscapes, natural beauty that gives a thoroughly deep and heart-touching Himalayan experience.
One of the most travelled individuals on the earth, Sujoy Kumar Mitra has visited the entirety of the 198 countries, which include all 193 UN member states along with the Vatican City, Taiwan, Kosovo, Palestine, and of course, Antarctica!
