Journeys / Himalayan Escape

A journey, thoughtfully yours.

A 10-day foothill journey combining Rishikesh’s riverfront with the heritage of Shimla and the valley scenery of Manali. Chandigarh breaks up the long road journey and serves as the departure city.

The moments that matter

  • Rishikesh riverfront and optional yoga
  • Shimla heritage walks
  • Hadimba Temple and Old Manali
  • Solang or Naggar excursion

Your journey, day by day.

This is a road-focused itinerary with several long travel days. We recommend extending it for a slower pace. Start Delhi and finish Chandigarh; high-altitude passes, rafting and snow activities are not automatic inclusions.
