The Himalayas (overview)
- Jaw-dropping scenery in the mountains, walking, trekking, colonial bungalows, hill stations such as Shimla: the summer capital of the Raj.
- Visit Ladakh and the higher reaches in our summer staying in comfy village houses and see “little Tibet” with Buddhist monasteries, remote villages, water rafting. High end experience but remote.
- Lower Himalayas such as Kumaon region can be combined with Corbett National Park and Sikkim near Bhutan with tea estates. Long journeys or pricey charters to get to these remote locations but worth it to escape into the road less travelled or the road not travelled at all in some cases.
