Himalaya Himachal Pradesh tour  (15 days)

This tour will give a first taste of the Himalayas in 15 days, at a relatively calm pace.

It can be done in one direction or the other in accordance with your preference.

The state of Himachal Pradesh is the land of snowy mountains that includes tea plantations and Tibetan temples. This is a tour where you will travel higher and higher, constantly surrounded by fascinating landscapes.

Like all my tours, it is possible to modify anything according to your preference. Do not hesitate to contact me, and I will be pleased to organise the tour you are dreaming of.
