Walking Holidays in Lower Himalayas of India
Our walks are organised to cater for those who want to experience the Himalayan mountains of India at a relaxed pace. Walking to the sites created by the Bitish during the Raj.
There's something for everyone, irrespective of age and fitness level (see ) and we design our trips to ensure that tours are also suitable for families.
Indian Himalayas are stunningly beautiful and unspoilt.
All walks offer spectacular views of the Himalayan mountain range and combine the chance to sample Buddhist & Hindu cultures by visiting villages and monasteries along the way with other places of interest...
Most of our walks are 'relatively low altitude' and include accommodation in tea houses and lodges. Our Walking Holidays therefore offer a degree of relative comfort combined with the chance to see some of the most spectacular peaks in the Himalayas.
