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.
