14 day Trek to the home of the Dalai Lama
Saturday 1st November 2008 - Friday 14th November 2008
This unique expedition combines awesome Himalayan trekking with a visit to India’s exiled Tibetan community.
The challenge begins and ends in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the ventre of the Tibetan community are situated - at the heart of the world’s highest mountain range.
- Trek in the Indian Himalayas
- Spectacular mountain scenery
- Hindu temples and Buddist monasteries
- Potential audience with his holiness the Dalai Lama
- Visit to the Taj Mahal
Your two week expedition follows the Uhl River, through rhododendron and evergreen forests. The route takes in Hindu settlements and isolated Buddhist monasteries. The region remains largely unvisited, which makes it a pristine and unspoilt area to trek.
You spend a night beside nomadic shepherd encampments, and another in the Taragarh Palace, home to Maharajas for centuries.
You can then spend your final day exploring the Taj Mahal - one of the greatest monuments to love ever built.
