This Himalayan trek will take us through the Kingdom of Gaddi - a semi nomadic race who spend months at a time roaming the high passes with their cattle. We will trek amongst rhododendron forests while taking in spectacular views of the Daula Dhar mountain range, passing through Hindu settlements and the impressive Buddhist Monasteries of the area.

This spectacular challenge culminates at the incomparable Taj Mahal, where we will have time to explore one of the new Seven Wonders of the World.
