Challenge details
- Trek in the Indian Himalayas
- Spectacular mountain scenery
- Hindu temples & Buddhist monasteries
- Potential audience with His Holiness the Dalai Lama
- Optional extension to the Taj Mahal, Keoladeo National Park and Fatephur Sikri.
This unique expedition combines awesome Himalayan trekking with a visit to India’s exiled Tibetan community. The challenge begins and ends in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan Community are situated, at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range.
Your two week expedition follows the Uhl River, through rhododendron and evergreen forests. The route takes in Hindu settlements and isolated Buddhist monasteries. The region remains largely unvisited, which makes it a pristine and unspoilt area to trek.
You spend a night beside nomadic shepherd encampments, and another in the Taragarh Palace, home to Maharajas for centuries.
You can extend your stay and explore the Taj Mahal – one of the greatest monuments to love ever built, as well as Keoladeo National Park and Fatephur Sikri.
