Wings Over The Himalayas
A cultural and wildlife odyssey in India’s green frontier.
Adventure
The Himalayan Wildlife
Embark on a 10-day expedition through the dramatic landscapes of North India - from the chaos of Delhi to the calm of Sattal’s lakes, the snow peaks of Munsiyari, and the wild jungles of Corbett. Glide over valleys by helicopter, trek to Khaliya Top at 11,500 ft, and explore India’s oldest tiger reserve on thrilling jeep safaris. Every turn reveals new terrain — from alpine meadows to sal forests alive with calls of the wild.
Heritage
Echoes of Empires
Trace the story of India’s capital and its neighbouring Mughal city through the centuries. Walk through Delhi’s architectural gems like Humayun’s Tomb, Qutub Minar, and the Red Fort, then journey to Agra to marvel at the eternal beauty of the Taj Mahal, the crown jewel of Mughal artistry. Experience the living history of Old Delhi on a curated food trail through Karim’s and Khau Galli - a feast of flavours where heritage and culture meet the senses.

Himalayan Rhythms & Local Life
People, Places & Conservation
Experience the charm of mountain villages where time slows and smiles come easy. In Sattal, listen to temple bells echo over misty lakes; in Munsiyari, share tea with locals and learn stories of life beneath the Panchachuli peaks. Every interaction connects you to the rhythm of Himalayan life - simple, kind, and deeply rooted in nature.
Stay in handpicked lodges and mountain homestays that blend comfort with community. Your visit directly supports local conservation and livelihoods — from the guides at Sattal hides to the rangers in Corbett. Dine on local produce, warm breads, and slow-cooked curries by the fire as you exchange stories under starry skies. This journey is not just about seeing India’s wild heart - it’s about feeling part of it.
