This late March and early April, join us for an unforgettable journey to the enchanting Garhwal Himalayas, a stunning region of Uttarakhand.
The highlight of this holiday? Scenic hikes through vibrant rhododendron forests, where the trails come alive with bursts of red and pink. With three such beautiful hikes lined up, it’s the perfect way to experience nature’s springtime splendor.
To top it off, this is also the season for crystal-clear views of the majestic Himalayas—a sight that will leave you spellbound. For thrill-seekers, we’ve included two optional adventure activities because, really, what is life without a dash of adventure?
Don’t miss this chance to immerse yourself in nature, adventure, and breathtaking vistas.
Did we tell you that we will also be visiting “highest” Shiva Temple in the World and that we will summit a peak together?
