Recommended for All AgesLake Nakuru National Park Located in the Great Rift Valley surrounded by yellow acacia woodlands and bushy shrublands, the Lake Nakuru National Park was created to protect the Lake and its large flocks of Lesser Flamingo, which are drawn to the algae that flourish in the saline waters of this soda lake. The national park is inhabited by over 50 mammal species including hippo, black and white rhino, Rothschild giraffe, buffalo, and eland. Known as a bird watcher’s paradise, the park is home to over 450 bird species. Visitors can look forward to hiking through the scenic landscape, picnicking next to this magnificent lake, and spotting an array of wildlife on a game drive. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the beautiful Makalia Waterfall. Masai Mara The Masai Mara together with Tanzania’s Serengeti form Africa’s most famous wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve. The image of acacia trees dotting endless grass plains epitomizes Africa for many, then add a Maasai warrior and some cattle to the picture and the conversation needs to go no further. The undeniable highlight of the Masai Mara National Reserve is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest migration traversing the vast plains of the Serengeti and the Masai Mara. It is known as the largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet – with more than a million animals following the rains. Large pride of lions, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, and eland can also be spotted in the reserve. Aside from horse riding safaris and traditional vehicle safaris, hot-air ballooning over the Mara plains has become almost essential. read more read less

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.

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
