Ramblers Worldwide Holidays - the experts in guided walking adventures across the globe - offer a selection of superb holidays to India - these include The Majesty of Rajasthan; Spices, Plantations and Hill Stations; a Himalayan Odyssey and Bhutan, Darjeeling and Sikkim.

Examples:

Himalayan Odyssey

An 18 day journey discovering the awe inspiring hill stations of Himachal Pradesh in the verdant Himalayan foothills. Highlights include orchards and sub-tropical forests, deep gorges, picturesque villages, roaring rivers and pine forests. 

From Delhi one takes the train to the Punjab and Amritsar to visit the Golden Shrine - the holiest of Sikh shrines.  Here, one also witnesses the ceremonial sunset retreat at Wagha Border - the only land crossing between Pakistan and India.  Next, it's onto Dharamsala - home to the Dalai Lama and the exiled Tibetan Government for over three decades.  From both Manali, at the head of the Kullu Valley and the hill station of Shimla (once the capital of the British Raj) one walks in the environs on Himachal Pradesh with its stunning snow capped peaks, enticing villages, orchards and terraced fields. 

All rounded off with an exhilarating train ride on narrow guage from Shimla Khandaghat thence to Kalka.

Price from £2,760 per person includes return flights, transfers, half board accommodation (plus 13 lunches), all entrance fees, local guides and the services of a dedicated tour leader.  Departures from 3 April 2014.

Bhutan, Darjeeling and Sikkim

A 17 day holiday in this fascinating region squeezed between India and China. Highlights include Darjeeling - renowned for its tea production and steeped in a Colonial Raj past.  The narrow guage railway and Tiger Hill at sunrise are musts! From Darjeeling one travels to the state of Sikkim cradled between the spurs of the Greater Himalayan range.  The capital Gangtok is a gem with its fantastic Buddhist heritage. Next port of call is relatively undiscovered Bhutan where one can savour the many delights of Phuntsholing, Thimpu and Paro with Tiger's Nest being top of the list.

Price from £3,425 per person includes return flights, transfers and all local transport (including internal flights and rail fares); half board accommodation (full-board in Bhutan - 4 nights), all entrance fees, local guides and the services of a dedicated tour leader. Departures from 9 April 2014.
