DHARAMSHALA ROOTS · JOURNEYS ACROSS INDIA
About Manu Adventures India
Local people. Mountain knowledge. Journeys shaped around you. Since 2005, our Dharamshala team has helped travellers explore Himalayan trails, village life and India’s cultural landmarks.
Based in Bhagsu Nag, near McLeod Ganj.

OUR STORY
At home in the Himalayas.
Manu Adventures India grew from Dharamshala and a close connection with the mountains around us. Our home beneath the Dhauladhar shaped the way we work: listen to the traveller, understand the route and make time for the people and places along the way.
Since 2005, that local foundation has grown into guided Himalayan treks, private India tours, camping experiences and customised journeys. We remain a hands-on team, bringing together guides, drivers, hosts and support staff to turn your plans into a practical itinerary.
We look at the details that matter: the season, your walking experience, the daily pace, accommodation and travel time. Whether you have one day for Triund or want a longer journey, our aim is a clear plan that fits your interests.
