Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times.

We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

Highlights included arriving at the tented camp in India and sitting looking at the Indian Himalayas and again sitting outside the tent with blankets and tea to see the sunrise the following morning. Sunrise from Sailung summit was another highlight.
As all the people involved were from the local communities, we felt as if we were part of the community rather than tourists. We enjoyed being vegetarians for 3 weeks, with a variety of local foods.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers enjoyed our Towards Snow-Capped Peaks guided walking holiday in India followed by our Himalayan Panoramas guided walking holiday in Nepal
The holiday was an unforgettable experience. We really enjoyed our time in the Himalayan villages and experiencing the culture and hospitality of the people. The ultimate highlight was our night at the tented camp. Although very cold the views throughout our stay were breathtaking.
We loved this holiday and learned such a lot. The walking and the stays in the villages were something we could never have organised for ourselves and gave us a humbling insight into the lives of the people in this remote area. The information provided about the guest houses was helpful and accurate; not luxurious but our hosts had taken trouble to provide a welcome place to stay. The food was uniformly excellent, particularly when cooked in conditions that would defeat most of us. The scenery was, as expected, breathaking and our short walls around the different villages interesting and informative. All arrangements at every stage worked well and we felt incredibly welcome and looked after by all our hosts and guides. The golden triangle trip that followed was a real contrast and provided some amazing sight seeing. We were glad to do it this way round and felt it worked well as an introduction to different aspects of India. I'm quite sure we will be back for more in the future.

The high camp at Jaikuni was amazing. The welcome, the food, the tents and we were so lucky with the views of the snow mountains - spectacular.
This has been an amazing holiday for us as a family and a great eye-opener and experience for our children aged 10 and 12. Very highly recommended.
Tips: We very much recommend an extra night in the Khali Estate on the way up, which was a lovely place to relax and recover from the journey. The Khali Estate is wonderfully tranquil and restorative and you are looked after very well there. It also helps with acclimitisation to the altitude.
Tips for coeliac visitors (especially those with coeliac children) - you MUST bring supplementary food as sometimes the food on offer is insufficient or simply unsuitable. For a child, it might also be worth bringing some small sachets of jam for breakfasts on the walk - at breakfast time, when everyone else is eating wheat chapattis with jam from a shared jar, and porridge with milk and sugar, it's a bit hard (for a child) to be expected to eat spicy chickpea dal with millet chapattis yet again.....
