Dharamshala immersion tour

Green fields, snow-capped mountains, crystal clear streams and rivers.  

Welcome to Dharamshala, Himachel Pradesh,  Northern India. The foothills of the Himalayas and home to the Dalai Lama.  

After leaving the chaos of Delhi behind, flying alongside the snow-capped mountains, descending into  Kangra Airport, will have you saying WOW! And for the next five days you will likely say WOW several times during the day!

This tour is a good mixture of visiting volunteer organisations, cultural experiences and fun.
