The climate can be hot and humid, and your body will be working hard so hydrate often. You’ll need to carry and drink around 3ltrs of water a day.

From the madness of Delhi, to the beauty and tranquility of the Indian Himalaya, this unique 12 day expedition is the perfect introduction to India. The challenge follows the Uhl River, through the heart of the world’s highest mountain range in Dharamsala, where the Dalai Lama and the centre of the Tibetan community are located. The region remains largely unvisited, which makes it a pristine and unspoilt area to explore via foot.
