India - A Himalayan Odyssey
Best time to go: March to June | September to NovemberA FANTASTIC TRIP THAT TAKES YOU THROUGH THE LOWER HIMALAYA!
Himachal Pradesh is a state in northern part of India. Part of the Western Himalaya and bordered by Jammu and Kashmir in the north, Tibet in the east and Uttarakhand in the south, this beautiful Indian state has the best of all those three together in one! Need we say more? If you seek gentle walks through stunning scenery in the foothills of the Himalaya, and look forward to staying in heritage properties full of character and history, then this is the trip for you. The itinerary is incredibly varied with every hue that nature has to offer! |
15 Nights / 16 Days
|
You are taken through little known ‘gems’ of Himachal Pradesh, such as its first heritage village of Pragpur, the paragliders' paradise of Palampur, Dharamsala, the home of the Dalai Lama, Manali, the Mecca for mountain holidays, and Shimla, the summer capital of the British Raj. To give you a multi-dimensional and memorable trip, we incorporate much more than simply walking. To give you a full flavour of Himachal, we have included a ride on one of the famous narrow gauge mountain trains, with visits to Hindu temples, Buddhist monasteries, hot springs, and handicraft centres.
There is ample opportunity for you to relax at the palatial heritage properties you will be staying in, to explore their grounds and history, and indulge in their extensive amenities. Some of these properties are converted castles and palaces, and all have been chosen for their rich character, charm and history. Where we have been unable to find heritage properties, we have selected the best quality hotels in the area.

Rest, take in the place and the surrounding compound full of grass, trees, flowers - and buffaloes!. There’s a nice swimming pool too – a welcome relief if you’re taking this trip in May/June. Getting used to the heat may take a while, and Mrs Bhandari’s trusting system for cold drinks – take a drink from the fridge and sign a chit for it – really helps !

Later in the evening, you will be taken to see the Golden Temple.
Overnight: Mrs Bandhari's Guest House . Meals : L, D.
GOLDEN TEMPLE
Sri Harmandir Sahib, also more commonly called ‘The Golden Temple’, is the holiest shrine of the Sikh religion. The Golden Dome alone is said to be gilded with 100kgs of pure gold and represents an inverted lotus flower pointing back to the earth to symbolise the Sikh’s concern with the problems of this world. The temple sits on a rectangular platform surrounded by a pool of water called the 'Armir Sarovar' in which pilgrims bathe. The first book of Sikh scriptures is kept during the day in the Golden Temple and is removed at around 10pm each evening to the Sikh parliament building. It is brought back to the temple every day at 4:00 AM. These processions are worth seeing.

This day is free for you to explore Amritsar. Take the rickshaw into town – it’s fun and gives you a great feel of the place! The best times to visit the Golden Temple are either early morning or late evenings when a procession transports the Adi Granth - the Sikh book of scriptures. Mingle with the pilgrims and indulge in the free food served to pilgrims. The Golden Temple at night is stunningly beautiful – a trip at night is highly recommended. Compared to several other big cities in India, Amritsar isn’t a very old city, only about 450 years old, and It is a bustling metropolis. Go ahead and explore back streets, the handicrafts offered are worth the trip.

DAY 5: GENTLE WALK TO THE BACKS OF THE RIVER BEAS
In the morning, you take a gentle 2/3 hour stroll to the banks of the River Beas, passing many attractive traditional village houses en route. Here you can watch the timeless scene of villagers harvesting wheat and women transporting water in copper pots on their heads. You can enjoy the genuinely unspoilt landscapes of the Himachal countryside, where you are extremely unlikely to see another tourist and may well be invited into a villager’s home for chai and a chat.
Lunch is at Judge's Court and the food here is superb; much of the ingredients come from the Court itself, such as its excellent spinach and delicious new potatoes. The orchard boasts mango, lychee, grape, plum, persimmon, citrus and exotic trees like camphor, clove and cardamom. The milk and dairy products used in their kitchen come from Judge’s Court dairy in the grounds. Water is exclusively piped from an ancestral mountain spring. The owner, Mr Lal, is an exceptional host and if present at the time of your stay, will sit for meals with you and entertain you with stories and fascinating facts about the history of Judge’s Court and of Pragpur. He was largely instrumental in obtaining Pragpur’s status as the first heritage village in India. The Judge’s Court has a wealth of information on local walks and other activities in the area; Mr Lal will be only too pleased to offer his advice on these to help you gain the most from your stay. Staying at Judge’s Court offers a unique ambience and a special kind of hospitality. All of its nine rooms are different and equally elegant and have names such as Kipling, Dhauladhar, and Kangra.

DAY 6: GENTLE LOCAL WALK. DRIVE TO DHARAMSALA | 2 ½ HRS | 70 KM (43 MILES)
Garli is a 'sister village' of Pragpur. It is a pleasant walk of around 1 mile through pretty countryside. Garli was said to have been established earlier than Pragpur. Along with Pragpur and Rakkar it was a stronghold of the Sood Community. The Soods of Garli built some attractive houses whose architectural features resemble those of Shimla. Some of the interesting buildings deserving a visit are the United Commercial Bank of India (UCO Bank) office building, the home of Lala Mohan Lal, and the Garli Boys’ School.
The drive to Dharamsala is about 43 miles (3 hours), which includes a stop at Jwalamukhi Temple, one of the most revered Hindu temples in North India. The deity is a blue flame fed by natural gas which shoots out of the rock in the sanctum. It is worshipped as the goddess of fire, Jwalamukhi.
As you continue on your journey to the home of the Dalai Lama, you have superb views of the Dhauladur Range. For part of the way, you will be following the narrow gauge mountain railway line. You pass Kangra Fort en route, perched atop a cliff above the Banganga and Majhi rivers.
You will be staying at Mcleod Ganj, a suburb of Dharamshala at an altitude of 5,741ft/1,750m. Often referred to as “Little Lhasa”, this is a place pulsating with life. Following the Chinese invasion of Tibet, the Dalai Lama arrived here in May 1960, to live and establish the Tibetan government-in-exile. It has a delightful mixture of eastern and western cultures, reflected in the people and in the shrines of worship.
Hippy-style westerners jostle for space in the bazaar alongside Hindus and Tibetan monks. It is a vibrant and fascinating place to visit. White Haven Estate, just outside Dharamsala, is surrounded by its tea gardens and private forests, and commands a breath-taking and panoramic view of the Dhauladhar Mountains (5,000m/16,000ft) to the North and Kangra valley to the South. The house has tastefully furnished, well-kept large size suites, with all the necessary amenities.

DAY 7: WALK TOWARDS TRIUND AND RETURN
It is a 5 mile climb from Mcleod Ganj to Triund, located at a height of (2,827m/9,275ft) above sea level. It is a steep, but straight forward ascent, with the path veering off to the right beyond Dharamkot. The views of Dhauladhar from here are stunning. You begin at 1,750m/5,741ft and walk through cedar trees, as you gain height these give way to rhododendron and oak trees. If going all the way to Triund proves a little too strenuous, you can always walk to the half way point, at Major View Café (2,300m/7,546ft) and then return the same way. It takes about 2-3 hours to reach this halfway point. You may see the Monal pheasant on your walk – the state bird of Himachal Pradesh. The valley is also home to black bears.
The walk is along a very good path, and you have excellent views of the mountains in front, McLeod Ganj below and you will be able to see the green roof of the Dalai Lama’s home.

It is a 5-Star deluxe hotel and is situated at the quiet end of the famous mall road. Walking to Scandal Point on the Mall road takes around 30 minutes from here; this is a very pleasant uphill stroll, due to the lack of vehicular traffic. Scandal Point remains the hub of Shimla’s social life and is said to be so named, after a British Commander-in-Chief’s daughter eloped from the spot with the Maharaja of Patiala!
Shimla is one of the few places in the world where an enormous amount of history and heritage has been distilled into such a small area in so short a time. The town came into being in the first quarter of the 19th Century and some four decades later became the summer capital of the British Raj. Until the coming of India’s independence in 1947, momentous events and memorable architecture packed the town. The town has one of the largest pedestrianized centres for strolling and shopping anywhere in the world, the Mall road.
