The challenge

  • Trek in the Indian Himalayas
  • Spectacular mountain scenery
  • Hindu temples and Buddhist monasteries
  • Experience Tibetan life
  • Optional extension to the Taj Mahal, Keoladeo National Park and Fatephur Sikri

From the madness of Delhi, travel off the beaten path, to the beauty and tranquillity of the Indian Himalaya. This unique expedition is the perfect introduction to India. 

This challenge combines awesome Himalayan trekking with a visit to India’s exiled Tibetan community. The trek begins and ends at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan community are located.

The expedition follows the Uhl River, through rhododendron and evergreen forests, taking in Hindu settlements and isolated Buddhist monasteries. This hidden route is rarely-trekked and, as a result, remains an area of pristine and unspoiled beauty.

Consider extending your stay to explore the Taj Mahal, Keoladeo National Park and Fatephur Sikri.

Dalai Lama Himalayan Charity Trek

Taking part in this trek was a life changing experience for me.  I not only proved to myself that no matter how hard something seems, anything can be accomplished.  Seeing first-hand how people in these communities and villages live and exist was very humbling and made me realise just what is important in life.  Everyone should experience this at least once in their lives.

Dalai Lama Himalayan Charity Trek

This trek is a perfect introduction to India taking you from the madness of Delhi and Agra to the beauty and tranquillity of the mountains.  Two weeks seemed like a month to me as we saw and experienced so much.  I fell in love with the rural villages and mountains and want to return again.

From start to finish I found the whole trip to be everything I had hoped it would be. The actual daily activities were challenging and yet when returning to camp, a warm atmosphere was present to lighten the mood and raise the spirits. A great experience!
