In this selection of suggested holiday itineraries in the Indian Himalayas, you’ll discover a vast area from west to east India across mainly three states: Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh and West Bengal. Uttarakhand was once known for its spiritual vibe, particularly at Rishkesh and Haridwar, but is now opening up to the more adventurous traveller, with some great trekking, white water rafting and wildlife opportunities. Himachal Pradesh is India’s spectacular go-to for outdoor adventure and the famous hill station of Shimla. The “Land of Snow” in India’s Himalayas has soaring snow-capped peaks, awe-inspiring views, rugged landscapes, and crisp mountain air too. West Bengal is a large state with the Himalayas in the far north, bordering Bhutan in an area called Sikkim – Darjeeling is the usual gateway in to this heartland of Buddhism. In the south of West Bengal of course, you’ll find Kolkata and the Sunderbans for wildlife enthusiasts. Kolkata is a wonderful gateway for exploring the east of India.
