Day 1 Arrive Delhi
Arrive in Delhi at any time.

Day 2 Delhi
We dive into the heart of India’s capital to explore both Old and New Delhi. Visit the famous Jama Masjid and climb the minaret for a bird’s eye view of the old city. Watch (and smell) the activity at the spice market, walk through Chandni Chowk, one of India’s oldest and busiest markets, and learn the history of the Sikh religion at the important Gurudwara. Travel by the swish new metro into Connaught Place, the centre of New Delhi.

Day 3 Pinjore/Ramgarh
Head north out into Punjab, stopping at the provincial capital of Chandigarh. Sitting on the fringes of the Shivalik range of the Himalayas, Chandigarh is an anomaly in India - an entirely modern, planned city. We will also visit Pinjore Garden, these Mughal gardens were designed in the 17th century.

Day 4-5 Shimla
Travel on the Kalka-Shimla Toy Train, en route to the Himalayan hill town of Shimla, the former summer capital of the British Raj. The railway is the greatest narrow gauge engineering feat in India.

Day 6 Mandi
This is a very spiritual town. Mandi has a total of 81 temples, many devoted to Shiva and only Varanasi has more. Work your mountain legs into shape and visit the best known of these, dedicated to Kali, perched high above the town on Tarna Hill (also a great place for sunsets).

Day 7-8 Kangra Valley (Palampur)
Wind your way through Himalayan mountain roads on to Palampur. At a height of 1219m, Palampur is a beautiful spot in the Kangra valley surrounded by tea gardens and pine trees. In fact the pine scented air is said to have curative properties!

Day 9-11 Dharamsala/Mcleod Ganj
Making our way further along the Himalayan mountain roads towards Dharamsala, the seat of the Tibetan government in exile. Sometimes known as "Little Lhasa", after the Tibetan capital city, Dharamsala is home to generations of Buddhist monastaries.

Day 12 Pragpur Heritage Village
Pragpur located accross the River Beas, is a medieval heritage village with cobbled streets and slate-roofed houses.

Day 13-14 Amritsar
Amritsar is both the spiritual and cultural centre of the Sikh Religion, as well as home to many of its most holy shrines and temples, as well as being the closest point to the India/Pakistan border, making for an interesting flag ceremony at the end of each day.
