Audley in the Foothills of The Himalaya
The northern foothills of the Himalayas are perhaps the most beautiful landscape in all of India. A welcome retreat from the bustle of the city and the heat of the plains, they are a place to relax and get to know the country at a gentle pace.
Spiritual Experiences in the Himalaya
A trip to the Northern Foothills not only offers excellent mountain views and walking opportunities but the chance to discover India’s Spiritual side.
Three of India’s major religions have a strong presence in the region: the Sikh’s majestic Golden Temple at Amritsar, Hindu ceremonies of the banks of the Ganges River at Haridwar and Rishikesh, and the Dalai Lama is in residence at McLeod Ganj whilst further North in Ladakh there are numerous Buddhist Festivals in the summer months.
Whether you witness the ‘Putting to Bed Ceremony’ at the Golden Temple, float a candle offering along the Ganges, or simply turn a Buddhist Prey Wheel in Dharamsala, the Foothills offer a magical experience for any traveller.
