Indien 22 Tage Northern India & Himalayan Trails Erlebnisrundreise Adventure-Trip in internationaler Gruppe

India doesn’t do anything halfway – and neither does this journey. Over 22 days you’ll explore its many faces, from the timeless monuments of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur to the peaceful houseboats of Kashmir and the lush valleys of Pahalgam and Sonmarg. Then ascend into Ladakh, where high mountain passes reveal stark moonscapes, ancient monasteries, and the shimmering waters of Pangong Lake. Along the way you’ll share meals with welcoming families, stay in heritage homes and houseboats, and immerse yourself in traditions that have endured for centuries. This is India at its most diverse and unforgettable – a sweeping adventure across history, culture, and the Himalayas.

• Walk the historic streets of Delhi and explore the Taj Mahal and Jaipur’s palaces

• Cruise Dal Lake on a houseboat and trek through the valleys of Pahalgam and Sonmarg

• Cross high passes into Ladakh to explore monasteries and gaze at the waters of Pangong Lake

• Stay in heritage homes and houseboats while connecting with families and local communities

• Experience the spirit of Tibetan Buddhist culture in villages and monasteries across the Himalayas
