Your route, day by day
Two nights in Dalhousie, three in Dharamshala and one in Amritsar. Sightseeing order may change with arrival times, road conditions, site access and the hiking plan.
Meet our representative at Amritsar airport or railway station and travel into the hills. After hotel check-in, explore Dalhousie as arrival time allows: its churches, Gandhi Chowk, Subhash Chowk and scenic walking lanes.
Overnight: Dalhousie
Visit the forest landscapes around Kalatop and the open meadow at Khajjiar. Allow time for a gentle walk and Khajji Nag Temple before returning to Dalhousie. Access and outdoor activities depend on weather and local conditions.
Overnight: Dalhousie
Travel towards Dharamshala with the planned stops at Masroor Rock-Cut Temples and Kangra Fort. This is a substantial sightseeing-and-driving day; your departure time and the order of visits will be confirmed in the final itinerary.
Overnight: Dharamshala
The planned Triund day hike takes you through Himalayan forest towards views of the Dhauladhar range. It requires a full active day, suitable fitness and favourable trail conditions. McLeod Ganj, the Dalai Lama Temple Complex and Bhagsunag visits will be arranged around the hiking schedule rather than rushed into one afternoon. Tell us if you prefer a non-trekking alternative.
Overnight: Dharamshala
Head out through the Kangra Valley for Palampur tea landscapes, Baijnath Temple and the Tibetan atmosphere of Bir. Paragliding is optional, paid separately and subject to weather and operator approval; it is not a guaranteed part of the tour.
Overnight: Dharamshala
Return to Amritsar and settle into your hotel. The planned city experiences include the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and the Attari–Wagah border ceremony, subject to operating arrangements and arrival time. Some city visits may move to Day 7 to suit your departure.
Overnight: Amritsar
Enjoy time for a final city visit or the local bazaars if your flight or train schedule permits. Your tour ends with a transfer to Amritsar airport or railway station.
End of tour: Departure
The Triund day should not be treated as a short sightseeing stop. Read our Triund trek guide and discuss fitness, season and alternatives with us before confirming.
Plan for the plains and the hills
Consider March–June or September–November. Expect different temperatures between Amritsar and the hill towns; carry light clothing for the plains and warm layers for cool mountain evenings.
Rain during the monsoon and snow or ice in winter can affect roads and hiking. Your travel dates, fitness and transport schedule should shape the final plan.
Coordinate hill transfers, heritage stops and the Amritsar finish with a team focused on Himalayan and North India journeys.
Confirm hotels, included meals, activity costs and sightseeing priorities in a written quote before committing.
Discuss a gentler pace, a non-trekking day or extra time in one destination when you enquire.
