What are the experiences about?

Our journeys are designed with a single purpose in mind - To provide travelers with an unhindered access to the Himalayas and its people.

The experiences are planned to keep you at a safe distance from the famed hill stations, and  from other ‘tourists’. Instead, we prefer to hang around hidden mountain villages, ride bicycles in pristine natural forests to observe wildlife, swim in secret crystal lakes, explore the magical valleys on foot and enjoy our cup of tea, as we watch the breath-taking mountain ranges at leisure.

Customised Holidays

Option 1 – Stay and Explore: Enjoy the comfort of mountain lodges, eco-resorts, or campsites. With the guidance of our experts, discover the natural surroundings at your own pace. Travel in jeeps, hike to forest clearings for day picnics, visit quaint villages, try kayaking or fishing, and immerse yourself in nature with birding trails. 

Option 2 – Full ‘Pahadi’ Experience: Embark on a journey through the hills, hiking, driving, or cycling from one village to another. Each night offers a unique stay – be it in private cottages, village homestays, forest guesthouses, or alpine trekking tents. 

Both options ensure a rich, immersive experience in the heart of nature, tailored to your preferences and pace.
