About this trip
Five days in Himachal Pradesh combining Tibetan culture with a proper Himalayan trek. You base yourself around Dharamshala and McLeod Ganj, then head up into the hills for a night under canvas.
Dharamshala sits among cedar forests and is home to the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile, so there's a real spiritual weight to the Buddhist sites you visit. McLeod Ganj, known as Little Lhasa, adds the everyday texture of Tibetan life — markets, monasteries, cafes.
The trek to Triund is the centrepiece: a 9km climb to 2,875 metres with a private guide, ending in a night camped out with meals provided. It suits families and small groups who want culture and a genuine hike, without needing prior trekking experience.
