Kumaon, located in the Himalayas, is often referred to as the Land of Gods (Dev Bhumi) due to the many important pilgrimage centres found throughout the state. Magnificent views of the Himalayan peaks, fascinating flora and fauna, picturesque terraced fields being tended by colorfully-attired women, amazing setting of the small villages dotted on the hillsides and charming local cultures – provide the perfect blend for a memorable holiday.

There is truly no more inspiring and rewarding way to experience the feel and smell of this stunningly beautiful region than on foot. Our Kumaon Walks take you through the unspoilt remote villages of the region, enabling you to experience it from close quarters. The programme allows you to walk around freely and interact with the local communities, exchange stories with the elderly people over a cup of 'chai' or help villagers working in the fields.

Charmingly, you also get to stay in traditional village houses which are stunningly located and have been touched up (and added on with attached bathrooms) to provide very comfortable lodging without compromising on the authenticity.
