FreeSpirit Adventure - Guided Tour - Foothills of Himachal

The Foothills of Himachal

We’ll collect you from Delhi airport and transfer you by jeep for our first night stop in Chandigarh. There we collect our bikes and ride into the hills through the hill-station capital Shimla and on to stay in a beautiful orchard retreat.

Narrow hill roads will hold your attention as we climb the challenging Jalori pass. Night stops on this tour include, a city centre stay, village hillside guest houses, quiet orchard retreats, an old Maharaja’s house and a hillside resort. The return to Delhi is the group’s choice, by train or jeep.

Itinerary

Foothills of Himachal Itinerary

Day	Itinerary Detail
Day 1	Arrive in Delhi, jeep transfer to night stop in Chandigarh. It’s a short tour so we have to get you quickly to the Tour start point. After a welcome dinner and Tour Brief in Punjab’s Capital and good night’s rest you’ll be ready for the first day’s ride.
Day 2	Exiting Chandigarh we quickly start to climb into the hills below Shimla. Our first day’s ride is 190km and with a mix of highway and hill road, we’ll set off early. We ride beneath the mazing clutter of Shimla’s hillside districts and into the fresh green apple orchards to the small village of Thanedhar where we stay in a quiet comfortable retreat overlooking its own orchards.
