Sacred North India Tour: Rishikesh, Dharamshala & Amritsar

Delhi to Delhi – 16 days

Begin in Delhi with a taste of Old and New—breakfast trails, rickshaw lanes and UNESCO landmarks—then head north by rail and road to the Himalayan foothills. Practise yoga in Rishikesh, stroll the Ganga ghats and witness evening aarti. In Chandigarh, Le Corbusier’s clean lines and lakeside paths frame a modern Indian city. Climb into the hills on the UNESCO-listed Shimla toy train, wander colonial promenades and take gentle nature walks between cedar forests and small villages.

The journey continues through heritage hamlets—Pragpur and Garli—with temple art at Masroor and kangra miniatures en route. In Dharamshala, meet Tibetan artisans at Norbulingka, listen to Gyuto monks’ deep-tone chants and ride the Kangra “toy train” before descending to Punjab’s plains. In Amritsar, explore old bazaars, share seva in the Golden Temple’s langar and watch the Wagah ceremony at sunset. This scheduled small-group tour is led by Asian Geographical’s expert local guides, using characterful stays and low-impact transport for a rich, well-paced 16-day circuit.
 


Highlights

RISHIKESH YOGA EXPERIENCE: Begin with Old Delhi’s lanes by rickshaw, spice markets and Mughal grandeur, then shift gear to Rishikesh for ashram life, sunrise yoga and the evening Ganga aarti. This blend of urban history and Himalayan spirituality sets the tone for a thoughtful, small-group journey led by expert local guides.

SHIMLA TOY TRAIN: Ride the UNESCO-listed Kalka–Shimla toy train through cedar forests, then wander Mall Road, Christ Church and the Viceregal Lodge. Gentle nature walks reveal Kipling country and quiet villages away from the bustle. It’s classic hill-station India, paced for comfort with characterful stays and low-impact transport.

DHARAMSHALA TIBETAN CULTURE: Meet artisans at Norbulingka, hear the deep-throat chants of Gyuto monks and visit the Dalai Lama’s monastery. An audio tour of Kangra Fort, a hop on the local “toy train” and the 12th-century Baijnath Temple round out a vivid window into Himalayan history, faith and everyday life.

AMRITSAR GOLDEN TEMPLE & WAGAH CEREMONY: Explore Old Amritsar’s lanes en route to the Golden Temple, join volunteers in the langar kitchen and learn Sikh traditions first-hand. Later, watch the flag-lowering spectacle at Wagah Border. A powerful finale of community, cuisine and ceremony—perfectly suited to our scheduled small-group format.

Why Asian Geographical?

The difference with the Asian Geographical is, that each of our holidays is designed with extreme precision of a mountaineering expedition.

DAY 1

New Delhi

Meet our representative on arrival and transfer to your hotel in New Delhi. After check-in, unwind from the flight or take a gentle stroll to acclimatise. If time permits, we’ll offer a short neighbourhood orientation pointing out nearby cafés, ATMs and chemists. Delhi’s twin personalities—old and new—unfold over the next two days, but tonight is about rest. Your Tour Leader hosts a concise briefing covering tomorrow’s timings, local etiquette, money tips and safety, followed by an optional casual bite at a trusted eatery close to the hotel.

Hotel Options:

The Imperial

Resort

The Oberoi New Delhi

The Imperial is an elegant blend of Victorian, colonial and Art Deco style hotel, set right in the heart of New Delhi. Built in 1931 by Bromfield, a student of Edward Lutyens, the famed British architect, this hotel exudes luxury, elegance and hospitality reminiscent of the colonial era. Its marvellous mélange of Victorian, colonial, and Art Deco styles stands out even after more than seven decades and offers each guest the magic experience of capturing a piece of history.

New Delhi’s Oberoi hotel is a newly refurbished, luxurious hotel, set in South Delhi area, overlooking the verdant golf course. The hotel holds a dear place in my heart, as it does for many city natives. During my younger days, I frequent the Oberoi’s lobby with my friends as it was the epicentre for India’s glitterati and on special occasions eat at the famous Tabela restaurant. At the time, it was one of the fanciest hotel in India but then time caught up with the old Dame.

DAY 2

New Delhi

Begin with your choice of a breakfast trail, rickshaw ride or guided cycling through Old Delhi’s lanes—spice bazaars, temple courtyards and historic havelis coming alive at first light. Later, visit Humayun’s Tomb, the prototype of Mughal garden mausoleums, and Qutab Minar, a soaring 12th-century victory tower—both UNESCO sites. In the evening, explore Hauz Khas Village: medieval reservoir, ruined pavilions and a contemporary cluster of galleries, design boutiques and cafés. This balanced day blends heritage with today’s creative Delhi, with flexible pacing and breaks for chai and street-side nibbles.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 3

Rishikesh

Early transfer to the station for the morning train to Haridwar, spiritual gateway to the Himalaya. On arrival, drive along the Ganga canal to Rishikesh, where forested hills frame ashrams and suspension bridges. Check in and settle into a simple, well-run ashram or retreat. After time to decompress, join an early-evening meditation session led by resident practitioners—an accessible introduction to breath, posture and quiet focus. Dinner is vegetarian and wholesome. Your Tour Leader outlines tomorrow’s gentle walking loop and dress guidelines for temples and ashram areas.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Hotel Options:

Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa

Taj Rishikesh Resort & Spa, Uttarakhand, is a luxurious retreat nestled in the serene foothills of the Himalayas, overlooking the Ganges River.

DAY 4

Rishikesh

Greet the day with a guided yoga class suitable for all levels—emphasis on alignment and breath rather than contortions. After breakfast, walk the riverfront from Laxman Jhula to Ram Jhula, pausing for chai at a café overlooking the turquoise Ganga. Continue to Chaurasi Kutia, the “Beatles Ashram”, whose graffiti-splashed meditation pods recall the band’s 1968 creative burst. Mid-afternoon is free for a massage, café time or a dip of the feet by the ghats. At sunset, attend the aarti at Parmarth Niketan—flames, mantras and river breezes creating a serene close.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 5

Chandigarh

Drive north-west across the Shivalik foothills to Chandigarh, India’s first planned city. After check-in and a refresh, explore Le Corbusier’s Capitol Complex (exteriors), reading the monumental concrete forms against the Himalayan backdrop. Continue to Nek Chand’s Rock Garden—an astonishing labyrinth of sculptures fashioned from industrial and domestic waste—before a relaxed promenade at Sukhna Lake, popular with local walkers and rowers. Today contrasts Himalayan spirituality with modernist urbanism, revealing independent India’s early design ambitions. Dinner at leisure; your Tour Leader can suggest classic Punjabi fare or a contemporary bistro.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 6

Shimla

Set off early for Kandaghat to board the narrow-gauge “toy train” to Shimla, a UNESCO-listed mountain railway wending through deodar forests, stone viaducts and hand-cut tunnels. The gentle 2½-hour ride frames ever-widening views of the Himalayan foothills before you alight in Shimla and transfer to the hotel. This afternoon, join “The Sleeping Beauty Trail” around Elysium Hill: Lakkar Bazaar’s timber stalls, the Chief Engineer’s house of the Kalka–Shimla line, Auckland House (linked to Alexander Malcolm Jacob), 1838 Chapslee and quiet Longwood. Hear stories of early Simla society and Sterling Castle—among the settlement’s first homes—on a relaxed, heritage-rich loop close to the Mall.

Meals Included: Breakfast

Hotel Options:
Resort

Wildflower Hall

Resort

The Oberoi Cecil

The Wildflower Hall, Shimla is a colonial retreat house, built by Lord Kitchner, as his retreat on a vantage ridge-top outside Shimla. Lord Kitchner’s inspiration were the alluring views of the Himalayas from the hills around Shimla. The old house has long gone but the prime location inspired a new and better property to develop. Today, the Oberoi’s Wildflower Hall takes its place and keeps his spirit alive.

DAY 7

Shimla

Begin at Sanat Art Gallery, a pine-scented, off-beat space hosting a notable modern collection and a rare Tagore work. After a leisurely break, stroll Shimla’s Mall Road—Tudor-fronted Town Hall, the Norman-Gothic Gaiety Theatre and Christ Church’s pale-yellow façade with frescoes attributed to Lockwood Kipling. Continue to the hilltop Vice Regal Lodge (now the Indian Institute of Advanced Study), Henry Irwin’s grand Scottish-baronial pile where key chapters of late-Raj history unfolded. Your Tour Leader weaves in stories of club culture, summer capital intrigue and hill-station life between photo stops and café pauses. Evening free for local bakeries, woollens and ridge-top sunsets.

DAY 8

Shimla

Choose a guided nature walk starting at the cottage where Kipling drafted Kim and Plain Tales from the Hills. Wind past a “haunted” knoll, brooks and meadows into mixed forest before reaching a local painter’s studio for tea and canvases. Alternatively, drive out to Dhami, a former princely state, for an unrushed day with your hosts—village paths, birdwatching and conversations about royal lineages and rural life. Both options are gentle, unhurried and scenic, with time for chai stops and photography. Return to Shimla by late afternoon; dusk is yours for ridge promenades, short café hops or a fireside read at the hotel.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 9

Pragpur

Descend the outer hills on a picturesque drive to Pragpur, India’s first Heritage Village. En route pause at Sujanpur Tira to view the Narvadeshwar Temple’s Pahari miniature murals—Kangra-school finesse set above the Beas River. Arrive in Pragpur and settle into a restored haveli. Later, a guided village amble reveals carved doorways, shaded courtyards and cobbled lanes that once linked traders, artisans and orchardists. As evening softens, attend aarti at the local temple—lamplight, conch and bell marking day’s end. Dinner highlights regional Himachali flavours; your Tour Leader previews tomorrow’s foray to Masroor and Garli’s remarkable early-20th-century mansions.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 10

Pragpur

This morning drive to the Masroor Rock Temples—8th-century monoliths hewn from a single sandstone ridge, their shikharas mirrored in a quiet tank with distant Dhauladhar views. Return via country lanes to Garli for lunch and a walking tour. Admire the Sood trading community’s vision: eclectic mansions blending Rajputana flourishes with Portuguese balconies, Art Deco lines and Italianate detail, all serviced by once-modern civic works. Meet residents, peek at restored interiors and hear how families funded roads, schools and waterworks a century ago. Back in Pragpur, the late afternoon is free for verandah time, craft browsing or a slow stroll beneath mango and jacaranda.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 11

Dharamshala

An easy morning drive carries you into the Dhauladhar foothills and the Tibetan enclave of Dharamshala. After settling in, visit the Dalai Lama’s Monastery (Tsuglagkhang). Join locals and monks on a gentle kora—a clockwise circumambulation punctuated by prayer wheels, mountain views and soft murmurs of mantra. Your Tour Leader (and local guide) shares context on ritual and daily monastic life. Later, wander Mcleodganj’s compact market: tangkas, prayer flags, butter-lamp stores and cafes with momo steam drifting onto the lane. Pick up a book on Tibetan history, sip a sweet chai, and enjoy the cooler air before a relaxed evening at your hotel.

DAY 12

Dharamshala

Morning calm at Norbulingka Institute: stone paths, koi ponds and cedar shade framing workshops that keep Tibetan arts alive—thangka painting, woodcarving, appliqué and metalwork. Meet artisans and hear how skills are passed to the next generation. Continue to Gyuto Tantric University, where monks practise extraordinary overtone chanting—low, resonant, almost orchestral. Quietly observe, then drive to Dolma Ling Nunnery for the afternoon debate courtyard: quick-fire logic, claps and counter-arguments that sharpen study and spirit alike. Your local expert explains etiquette and meaning. Return via tea gardens and sunset overlooks. Dinner leaves time to journal or browse Mcleodganj’s bookshops.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 13

Dharamshala

History leads today. With an audio guide, step through Kangra Fort’s gates and terraces—battlements above the confluence of the Banganga and Patal Ganga, dynastic stories layered over 3,500 years. Swap ramparts for rails on the Kangra Valley “toy train”, sharing carriages with commuters as peaks drift past at ambling pace. In the late afternoon, visit Baijnath Temple, a 12th-century Shiva site where pilgrims offer flowers and water, priests chant softly, and incense curls toward slate rooftops. Learn how temple town rhythms shape local life before returning to Dharamshala. Evening free for a thukpa supper or bakery stop near the main square.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 14

Amritsar

Descend to the plains and continue to Amritsar. After a brief rest, head into rural Punjab around Khasa village: tractors chugging between mustard and wheat, courtyard charpoys, stacks of cow-dung fuel cakes drying in the sun. A short tractor ride ends at a family home for tea and snacks—warm hospitality and easy conversation. Toward sunset, take reserved seats at Wagah for the Beating Retreat. The ceremony is exuberant and theatrical—crisp drills, high kicks, flags lowered in perfect symmetry. Your guide positions you for good views, then returns you to the city for dinner and an early night.

DAY 15

Amritsar

Begin with a guided lane-by-lane walk: colonial-era gurdwara honouring 21 Sikh soldiers, spice sellers, metalworkers, halwais stirring sweets in wide kadhais. Glide into the Golden Temple complex where devotion hums around the Amrit Sarovar. Learn seva in the vast langar—rolling rotis or washing trays in a human chain that feeds up to 100,000 daily. Lunch follows at a nearby dhaba—fluffy kulchas, chole, lassi. Visit Jallianwala Bagh to reflect on 1919’s tragedy in its quiet memorial garden. After dinner, return for the Palki Sahib—the Guru Granth Sahib’s nightly procession—shimmering palanquin, hymns and candlelight on the water.

Meals Included: Breakfast

DAY 16

NEW DELHI - DEPARTURE

A convenient daytime flight returns you to Delhi. Your Tour Leader coordinates timings and baggage so the connection is smooth. Depending on flight schedules, there may be a short lounge or café stop before transferring to the international terminal for onward departures. It’s a fitting close: mountains to plains; monastery bells to temple drums; living crafts to living faith. You’ll leave with the cadence of kora steps, the echo of Gyuto chants, and the glow of Harmandir Sahib by night—plus new friends from the group. End of Tour.

Meals Included: Breakfast


ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

JOURNEY STYLE, PACE & WHO IT SUITS: This is a scheduled small-group traverse that moves from Delhi’s energy into Himalayan foothill calm, then returns to living faith in Punjab before concluding in the capital. The pace is intentionally varied: early starts for cool-hour walks, heritage rail and smoother road conditions, balanced by generous time in Shimla/Pragpur and multiple “choose-your-own” half-days. It suits travellers who enjoy culture with texture—monastic life, village encounters, art and architecture—rather than a checklist of headline monuments. Days are designed to feel reflective and immersive, with cafés and quiet pauses treated as part of the experience.

WALKING, TERRAIN & PHYSICAL COMFORT: Activity is mostly easy to moderate, with gentle heritage walks, a few nature trails, and occasional steps/uneven surfaces at forts and rock-cut sites. Hill-station terrain means gradients; the schedule is paced to avoid breathless rushing, but sure-footed shoes matter. Expect temperature swings as you move between plains and foothills: warm afternoons, cool evenings, and occasional mist or rain in the hills. Comfort comes from layering, sun protection, and a light waterproof rather than technical kit. If you’re prone to motion sensitivity, the hill drives and winding roads are manageable but worth preparing for.

SPIRITUAL & CULTURAL SETTINGS: ETIQUETTE WITHOUT STIFFNESS: Rishikesh and the Tibetan enclave around Dharamshala are living spiritual environments, not stage sets. Yoga and meditation sessions are accessible rather than extreme, but they’re best approached with an open mind and a quiet, respectful manner. At monasteries and nunneries, silence, modest dress and discreet photography practices keep visits graceful; chanting sessions and debate courtyards can be deeply moving when observed calmly. In Amritsar, the Golden Temple complex involves head covering and barefoot movement; the langar experience is active participation in service, and the atmosphere rewards unhurried attention.

TRAINS, FLIGHTS & LOGISTICAL REALITIES: The itinerary uses a mix of rail and air to keep the traverse efficient and to add character—particularly the narrow-gauge mountain railway and the local valley train. Stations can be busy and platforms can change; the Tour Leader manages timing, seating and boarding so the group stays relaxed. Hill roads and weather can influence timings, especially around mountain rail sectors and longer drives; occasional re-sequencing is an inherent feature of travelling well in the foothills. The programme is structured with enough flexibility to keep the experience coherent even when conditions dictate small adjustments.

CROWDS, FESTIVAL ENERGY & “REAL INDIAMOMENTS: Certain moments are high-energy by nature—Old Delhi lanes at first light, the Wagah ceremony’s theatre, and popular temple precincts at peak hours. The guiding style is to time these experiences intelligently and to counterbalance them with quieter interludes (heritage villages, forest walks, lakeside pauses, craft workshops and café breaks). You’ll also encounter everyday India at close range—markets, commuter trains, village courtyards—where warmth and courtesy go a long way. A calm approach to timing, queues and security checks will materially improve enjoyment across the whole journey.
