Dalai Lama Himalayan Trek at a glance

This unique expedition is the perfect introduction to India.

This challenge combines awesome Himalayan trekking with a visit to India’s exiled Tibetan community. The trek begins and ends at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan community are located.

The expedition follows the Uhl River, through rhododendron and evergreen forests, taking in Hindu settlements and isolated Buddhist monasteries. This hidden route is rarely-trekked and, as a result, remains an area of pristine and unspoiled beauty.

Consider extending your stay to explore the Taj Mahal, Keoladeo National Park and Fatephur Sikri.
