Walks Worldwide offers a 21-day Himalayan Heights and Tiger Trails walking tour in Northern India - next guided departure from London 25th October 2008 or self-guided option available from October to March.
Walks Worldwide has combined the richness of Delhi and Agra with the peace of the Garhwal Mountains, the chaos of Indian trains with the simplicity of camping at 3,500 metres, and the thrilling sight of peaks such as Nanda Devi (7,916 metres) with the melancholic symbolism of the Taj Mahal.
The trekking is simply magnificent - routes being slightly set back from the mountains, walkers gain wide-sweeping vistas and enjoy the marked contrast between green, forested peaks and dazzling white glacier-covered summits.
There is also some exploration (and hopefully Tigers!) in the jungle areas of Corbett National Park and visits to famous centres such as Rishikesh on the Ganges and trekking through remote villages on little-known mountain trails.
This trek is a perfect introduction to a diverse and intriguing country.
