If there were ever a way to live like a maharajah, it would be in Rajasthan’s palace hotels. The sound of a peacock dancing on the lawns outside your room. Dine on elaborate meals prepared in royal kitchens using royal recipes. The turbaned staff will anticipate your every need and fulfil your every wish. That is precisely how Enchanting Travels consultants work, tending to every request as they design your private North India tour. They are not only relentless in their pursuit of understanding your needs but they are also dedicated to ensuring a smooth journey. A ride in a hot-air balloon? Not a problem. Exploring a secret tunnel between majestic hill forts, perhaps a twilight Ganges boat ride? Not a problem. Come for the Taj, but stay for North India’s diversity and colour.
The Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain range, are famous for hill stations, trekking, and spiritual passages encircling India’s north in a sweeping 1,500-mile arc. Wake up to views of towering snow-capped peaks and craggy cliffs in hill stations like Manali and Shimla.
Aside from beautiful scenery, the Himalayas are spiritually and culturally enriching. Devotional songs fill the air as worshipers sing and pray each evening at Hindu pilgrimage sites of the sacred Ganges river.
Tibetan Buddhism has deep roots in the Himalayas as well. Buddhist chants and ritual horns herald the start of prayers in McLeod Ganj, the Dalai Lama’s hometown. In the high-altitude desert of Ladakh, monastic life and spiritual activity have continued unabated for centuries. There’s no shortage of soft adventure with mountains this high: hiking trails, trekking routes, and white-water rafting.
The Himalayas are stunning and soul-stirring, but they are also vast and complex. Allow an Enchanting Travels consultant to guide your mountain, creating the ideal itinerary through this breathtaking landscape.
