Mcleodganj, Dharamshala & Bir Billing from Mumbai
Overview
The Kangra Valley in Himachal Pradesh offers one of the most diverse short itineraries in India — Tibetan monasteries, Himalayan treks, and world-class paragliding, all within a few hours of each other.
Mcleodganj is the home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan government-in-exile. Explore the Namgyal Monastery, Bhagsu waterfall, and the bustling Tibetan markets. The Triund trek — a 9-km hike through rhododendron and oak forests to a ridgetop with jaw-dropping views of the Dhauladhar range — is one of India's most rewarding overnight treks.
Bir Billing is the paragliding capital of India, where you can tandem paraglide off a 2,400-metre hill and land in the valley below. The flight over the Himalayan foothills is an experience you'll never forget.
We travel from Mumbai by overnight train to Pathankot, then drive into the hills.
Based in Himachal Pradesh, this moderate 5-day trek is best attempted during March, April, May, June, September, October, November, December — when the trail and surroundings are at their most rewarding.
