This is truly the trip of a lifetime. The diversity of India cannot be captured in a single visit, yet this itinerary takes you on a very special spiritual journey. From the silver-clad temple of Akshardham to the Monkey Temple of Hanuman, your time in Delhi will be spent exploring little-known gems. After an unforgettable overnight train journey, you will find yourself in the exiled home and temple of the Dalai Lama, in the foothills of the Himalayas.
An itinerary like no other, we will also whisk you away to the iconic Taj Mahal, to celebrate the culmination of the tour!
However, all of these delights pale into insignificance compared to your trek up into the snowy Himalayas. This is the truly awe-inspiring part of your journey! Over five days you will make your way along donkey tracks, past ramshackle villages where friendly children giggle and shy ladies in beautiful saris tend to their goats and cows. You will camp next to clear, babbling springs, under skies full of stars.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat!
Manu and his team are just amazing! This trip was everything and more than I dreamed of. The magic never stopped with all the delights India had to offer from the wacky tuk tuk races in Delhi to the serene mountain tops above Triund.
Fleecy lined sleeping bags and mats that you sank into sum up the level of hi spec equipment and attention to detail Manu Adventures provides.
Nothing is to much for any of the staff and they constantly tweaked the trip around all our desires to experience more and more!
The passion, knowledge and support provided by Manu and his team outshines any other company I have travelled with - just book it as you'll never have any regrets!
Operator response

Fantastic India trip
India - a vast and fascinating country with a diverse culture. To sample just part of this in 12 days Manu had arranged the perfect itinerary which we all thoroughly enjoyed. From the jaw dropping vistas & beautiful unspoiled rural villages of his incredible mountain hike in the Himalaya foothills to the bustling cities of Delhi & Agra which included visits to the iconic Taj Mahal & the Delhi Red Fort he was always there with us ensuring we were having the best possible experience.
The equipment provided for the trek was of great quality & perfect for the job and the freshly cooked food provided delicious !
Hotel accommodation & transport provided were also spot on.
Manu himself was warm, friendly with a great sense of humour & would never rest until everyone was happy.
To experience India, we would definitely recommend Manu Adventures to anyone looking for a similar experience.
Thank you again to Manu & his team !!

The best way to experience the Magic of India
Manu looked after us so well at all times of our trip. He organised everything seamlessly, including good quality transport, bunks all together on the sleeper train, hotels with rooftop views of the Taj Mahal - nothing was too much trouble for him.
Our trekking experience was made even more amazing because we were so comfy in brand new tents, warm sleeping bags and thick, cushioned mats. Everything was just one notch above the experiences I've had with other companies.
Manu really understands that we want to experience the "real india", whilst still enjoying some of our creature comforts. And the food was always amazing!

Best experience I’ve ever had
I had the best time ever with Manu Adventures India. Manu himself is kind, very helpful, and full of humour. I can guarantee anybody who loves the outdoors and loves discovering cultures from across the world, will definitely love every moment of this experience as did I and the group I went with. It was honestly an incredible experience and it will not be the last time I will see Manu and his team! I took my camera with me this trip and caught some absolutely amazing moments. Thank you Manu and the team, you guys were incredible!

Well supported, beautiful trek with very kind host
I had a wonderful time trekking for 5 days in Himal Pradesh with Manu Adventures.
Manu is a lovely, accommodating and very kind host. Through out my journey I felt supported by himself and his team. The routes we took ensured that we got to see all the beauty the foothills of the Himalayas had to offer while we took plenty of well earned breaks.
I felt the whole trip was organised from start to finish and the itinerary was communicated very well. The equipment provided (tents etc, which were out up for us) were very high quality and the food was fresh, tasty and provided enough sustistance for a day in the mountains.
Overall I would recommend Manu Adventures to anyone who wants to experience a beautiful, rural part of India while being thoroughly looked after - whether you are an experienced trekker or someone who wants to give it a go.
Operator response
Thank you, Francesca, for sharing your experience! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the trek and felt supported throughout. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we're so glad Manu and the team made your adventure memorable. Safe travels!
