Luxury Himalayas & Foothills Tours

Lofty mountain ranges offering spectacular views, captivating sacred sites, national parks home to an abundance of rare wildlife, and a wide range of distinct cultures are waiting to be explored on a tour of the diverse and beautiful Indian Himalayas. Born 50 million years ago, when India crashed into Asia, the Himalayas are the world’s largest crumple zone. Their intimidating peaks should not put you off visiting, especially if you focus on the Indian Himalayas, where the mountain hikes are more accessible and quieter than other areas.

Head west to Leh and Ladakh for stunning scenery and one of the world’s highest roads, spiritual Dharamshala the home of the Dalai Lama, and the scenic toy train to the fascinating hill station of Shimla.

Travel to Himalayas & Foothills

Sometimes a geography lesson is the only way, especially with something as humungous as the Himalayas. The name Himalaya comes from the Sanksrit, Hima-laya meaning ‘Abode of snow’, and has, over time, developed into the plural, Himalayas, because of the many number of mountain ranges. There are the Outer Himalayas, also called the Siwalik Range, the Lesser or Lower Himalayas, the Tethys or Tibetan Himalayas, the Trans-Himalayas and the Great Himalayas, home to Mount Everest.
