Spend unhurried hours exploring traditional hamlets, the quiet Barshangarh Waterfall, and the expansive lawns of Shangarh.

The itinerary blends easy adventure with mountain calm. Walk through deodar and rhododendron forests on a 5-kilometre trek to Pundrik Rishi Lake near the Great Himalayan National Park. Wrap up your getaway with an exhilarating river rafting run in Kullu before heading back overnight to Delhi.
