Indian Himalayas (Delhi, Rishikesh, Garhwal, Kuari Pass)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Indian Himalayas stretch across the northern reaches of India, encompassing sacred river towns like Rishikesh on the Ganges, the rugged Garhwal region, and high-altitude trekking routes such as the Kuari Pass trail in Uttarakhand. Delhi serves as the primary gateway, connecting travellers to the mountains via road or rail. The region is renowned for yoga and spiritual retreats, white-water rafting, and some of the most rewarding trekking in Asia — the Kuari Pass trek offers sweeping panoramas of Nanda Devi, Dronagiri, and the greater Garhwal peaks. Independent and group travellers come for the combination of Himalayan adventure, Hindu pilgrimage culture, and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical valleys to snow-capped ridgelines.

Self-Launched Kuari Pass & Curzon Trail Trek — Indian Himalayas on a Backpacker Budget

A self-launched version of the classic Curzon Trail over Kuari Pass: Delhi's chaos, the spiritual riverside town of Rishikesh and the Ganga Aarti, then an independent trek through the little-visited Garhwal Himalaya with locally hired guides, porters/mules, and camping in high meadows beneath Nanda Devi. Book everything yourself — Shatabdi Express trains, budget guesthouses, local trek operators in Joshimath/Auli — for roughly a third of the guided tour price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Indian Himalayas (Delhi, Rishikesh, Garhwal, Kuari Pass) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
