The journey

Leave the plains behind on an overnight coach journey from Delhi to the cool pine-clad hills of Himachal Pradesh. You will spend two nights in colonial Dalhousie, taking scenic walks through the dense woods of Kalatop Wildlife Sanctuary and relaxing beside the sprawling green glades and lake of Khajjiar.

Your return journey takes you past the cascading waters of Panchpula to McLeod Ganj, where you can visit the Dalai Lama Temple, browse bustling Tibetan markets, and relax in hillside cafes before catching the night bus back to Delhi.
