Nainital Lake District Escape

A hill station trip to Nainital and Mussoorie works well in 4 to 5 days. Rishikesh and Haridwar need 2 to 3 days. The full Char Dham yatra takes around 10 to 12 days, while Do Dham (Kedarnath and Badrinath) can be done in 6 to 7. We tailor the length to your chosen circuit.

The Char Dham of Uttarakhand are four sacred Himalayan shrines: Yamunotri, Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath. The pilgrimage usually runs from Akshaya Tritiya in late April or May until Diwali. We handle permits, helicopter bookings, stays and a comfortable pace for all ages.

Very much so. Rishikesh is famous for white-water rafting and bungee jumping, Auli for skiing, and the state has some of India's best treks including Kedarkantha, Valley of Flowers, Chopta-Chandrashila and Roopkund. We can build an adventure-focused itinerary around your fitness level.

Dehradun (Jolly Grant) airport serves the Garhwal side including Rishikesh and Mussoorie, while Pantnagar airport is closer to the Kumaon side and Nainital. Haridwar, Dehradun and Kathgodam are the main railheads, all well connected to Delhi by train and road.

A 5 to 6 day hill station trip typically starts around 9,000 to 16,000 rupees per person on twin sharing. Char Dham and helicopter packages cost more depending on the circuit and category. We send a clear, itemised quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.

Kedarnath involves a 16 km trek from Gaurikund, which is demanding. There are pony, palki and porter options, and a helicopter service from Phata or Guptkashi for those who prefer to skip the climb. We plan acclimatisation and the right mode of travel based on your group.

It is a moderate trek. From Govindghat you reach Ghangaria, then a roughly 4 km walk leads into the valley. It is best attempted July to early September when the flowers bloom. Reasonable fitness and good shoes are enough for most travellers.

Yes. Jim Corbett National Park offers jeep and canter safaris across zones like Dhikala, Bijrani and Jhirna. Safari permits are limited and sell out fast in peak season, so we book them well in advance as part of your package.

Absolutely. Hill stations like Nainital and Mussoorie, the Rishikesh and Haridwar aartis, and gentle sightseeing suit all ages. For pilgrimages we arrange ponies, helicopters and a relaxed pace so elders can travel comfortably.

Carry warm layers even in summer, as evenings in the hills are cool and high-altitude shrines are cold. Good walking shoes, a light raincoat in monsoon, sunscreen and any personal medication are essential. For Char Dham, pack modestly and carry valid ID.
