Introduction

The Himalayas are home to spiritual monasteries, ancient customs and spectacular landscapes. Take an experiential journey through the high villages and valleys of Ladakh, partaking in traditional customs and religious ceremonies. A journey of a lifetime, this suggested itinerary features traditional homestays, exclusive experiences and memorable hiking journeys. We’ve combined the high peaks of the Himalayas with a luxury experience in Delhi, the capital of India.

Luxury bespoke services

At OROKO, we’ve been to India many times and have continuously returned to explore its chaotic cities, rural heartlands and remote Himalayan villages. It is a place that is extremely rewarding, but also a destination where specialist knowledge is vital. That is why all of our bespoke itineraries to India include luxury partner accommodation, expert English-speaking private guides and private drivers. Each one of our itineraries are bespoke and tailored to you, so think of this as just a sneak-peak of just how brilliant an OROKO holiday through the Himalayas can be.

Trip Overview

Depart from Dublin to Delhi.

Your private driver will be waiting to transfer you to your luxury accommodation in the heart of New Delhi, where you will spend two nights. The capital of India, Delhi is home to extravagant landmarks like Humanyun’s Tomb, Red Fort and Qutub Minar.

Experience India on the back of a tuk tuk.

From the winding lanes of Chandni Chowk to the open boulevards of the colonial era and on to the fast-paced skyscrapers of Gurgaon, Delhi embraces its past and its future. We’ll introduce you to the finest landmarks and secret treasures of the city.

Tuk Tuk, India
Depart for Nimoo in the Leh district of Ladakh.

Your local guide will meet you on arrival and transfer you to your experiential accommodation. Spend three nights in the western Himalayas and gain insight into traditional life on a guided village tour and visit to the Buddhist monastery of Basgo.
