Next is Dharamshala, where the Tibetan presence shapes much of daily life. An orientation walk leads to the Dalai Lama Temple, and there’s an encounter with the Tenacious Bee Collective, a local women’s cooperative producing honey. Finally, the route takes the Vande Bharat express train to Amritsar, where the Golden Temple stands as a focal point of Sikh worship, alongside the dramatic, flag-waving ceremony at the Wagah border.

Travel includes private vehicles, trains and plenty of walking, with a CEO guiding the group throughout. The modest hotels and homestays offer a glimpse of life off the beaten track, and the mix of Sikh and Tibetan cultures gives the trip a distinct character. No claim of ease or comfort here, but moments that reward patience and attention.
