Spirit of India’s Comprehensive North India Tour
October 27-November 16, 2027

Journey through a diverse cross-section of North India, both geographically and spiritually, from the Himalayas to Rajasthan and the sacred Ganges River. This tour offers an in-depth experience and understanding of the diversity of India.

On this tour we traverse through seven Indian States, stay at some of the most authentic atmospheric hotels and participate in traditional rituals.

As spiritual traditions are the fabric of the culture of India, there is no better way to “get into the culture” than to visit its sacred sites. One has to embark upon such a journey to understand the complexity that is India and to unravel Indian Spirituality!

On our remarkable small-group tour you will walk on the most inspiring mountain trails, drive over some of highest roads and bridges, visit remote wildlife reserves, witness age old temples, exquisite villages, traditional architecture and tribal lifestyles. Adventuresome, but not difficult!
