Recommended for “All Age Group" (8 Years to 70 years) About Our Offbeat Tours : We strongly believe that true Himalayan exploration is incomplete if you have not walked along its trails. That's why every tour we offer includes both short and long walks – because we believe that without stepping into the heart of the Himalayas, the experience remains incomplete! Most of the Himalayan tours tend to focus on popular and crowded locations, which may not be the ideal choice for a serene and immersive experience. Many travelers prefer to trek to get away from the crowd and in search of beautiful locales, though they may not necessarily be comfortable staying in tents and while using makeshift washrooms (toilet tents).  At Foliage Outdoors, we have been promoting the concept that we call "Leisure Treks" which gives you all the satisfaction of long hikes in the mountains while staying in comfortable resorts.  Leisure Treks (Hikes) = Leisure (Comfort) + Treks (Hikes) Indulge in the best of both worlds – relish the stunning views and unique experiences that come with trekking, all while avoiding any hardships associated with the stay in tents. It's a perfect balance of adventure and comfort. Our Leisure Hikes / Treks are designed for beginners and travelers who have no prior experience of trekking. Even children, as less as of 8 years old, could be a party to this wonderful holiday. About Offbeat Garhwal (Uttarakhand) Tour :   Embark on a mesmerizing Garhwal tour, where the allure lies not just in the breathtaking landscapes but in the immersive experiences of walks and hikes. These activities, away from the hustle of civilization, are essential to truly savor the authentic beauty of the Himalayas. The four enchanting hikes that are part of this tour, unveil the beauty of the Himalayas, promising awe-inspiring vistas. The views of the snowclad peaks will leave you mesmerized.  Hike # 1 : Hike to Kartik Swamy Temple (3 kms one way) Hike # 2 : Hike to Deoriatal (1.5 hrs one way) Hike # 3 : Hike to Tungnath Temple followed by the summit of Chandrasheela (2.5 hrs to Tungnath, 1 hour from there to Chandrasheela : One Way) Hike # 4 : Hike to Gurson Bugyal at Auli (1.5 hrs one way) Cost (ex-Dehradun / Rishikesh) Rs. 42470 per person + 5% GST + Railfares / Airfares at actuals Extra person, over age of 12 years  (in the same room)  Rs. 24810 per person + 5% GST + Railfares / Airfares at actuals Rs. 21410 per person + 5% GST + Railfares / Airfares at actuals (for a child between 8-12 years)   read more read less

Recommended for Age Group 14 - 60 years Separated from fertile Lahaul by the soaring 4,551 m. (15,018 ft.) Kunzum La, Spiti is another chunk of Tibetan plateau marooned in India. This trip is a great way to explore the wonders of Spiti. You will trek in some of  the remotest regions of the country. Spiti valley is in every sense as beautiful and rugged, if not more, than Ladakh. The turquoise-grey ribbon of the Spiti River is your near-constant companion, running along a fairly broad valley. This valley is open only for a few months every year as the high passes leading to it get blocked by heavy snowfall. In the days to follow we indulge in exploration, hiking and soft trekking in this spectacular landscape. You come across small settlements with ancient monasteries, chortens, mane walls, fluttering flags, prayer wheels and Buddhist monks, leaving an image which is sure to last a lifetime. Last but not the least you will drive to the top of Kunzum La pass and also go for a circuit trek along the Chandratal (moonlake). Nothing can prepare you for the beauty of this lake. Chandratal is a spectacular high altitude lake with turquoise green water and snow capped mountains all around. read more read less

Sonaugi, a place that is blessed with a stunning location. Built in typical and traditional Himachali style that includes the use of a lot of wood and stones, our stay is amidst Deodar trees and Orchard. The place is accessible throughout the year and is classically described as a home from where many gentle directions goad you into walking to nowhere in particular. A destination very close to Manali yet far away, Sonaugi is blessed with unbelievable scenic beauty and pleasant walks. It is ideal for travelers who don't want to rush things up, who would like to live easy a few days amidst their rushed-or-unrushed lives. Holidays here are meant to languish, recharge, rethink, re-align, meditate, chill, hang-out, long conversations with like-minded travelers, long walks and you will come back rejuvenated.Note from the host : Mr Vivek Sharma : This is the place where I plan to retire and till then you are welcome to be the guest at my place. A few years from now, I will personally welcome you. A lot of thought has gone on to the making of this place but I am sure you will like old style "Dhuna" the best. This is the place where you can sit around the big fireplace and have riveting conversations with your co-travelers. The rooms have not been provided with the German bukharis (wooden stove) in the room that ensures that you can stay in a T-shirt and shorts even when it is snowing outside. I assure you that it does not get more comfortable than this on a chilly day. This is a 365-day "place to be in" but personally I feel that winters are much better than summers, of course relatively speaking, as it has crisp sun, lovely days, great visibility and less / no haze. This is a place for all those of you who prefer solitude over chaotic "touristy" destinations. read more read less
