This morning, we trade the energy and traffic of Delhi for the forests, mountain air, and Buddhist Tibetan culture of the Himalayas.

We will take the morning flight from Delhi to Dharamshala and then continue to McLeod Ganj, our home for the next three nights. After checking in, we will have the rest of the day to settle in, wander through town, explore its cafés and small shops, and enjoy a very different pace of India.

In the late afternoon, we will head to Naddi for sunset. Weather permitting, we will watch the light fade over the Dhauladhar mountain range and get our first real taste of the Himalayas.

We are only four days in, and India has already changed completely!

OVERNIGHT: Asia Spa Resort, Dharamshala or similar

MEALS: Breakfast
