Into the Heart of Himachal

Into the Heart of Himachal

Himachal Pradesh

Overview

Step off the beaten path with Backpackclan into the Heart of Himachal Backpacking Escape.

A soul-nourishing journey to a secret Himalayan village just beyond Manali. Here, simplicity meets magic: thick pine forests, village rhythms, playful snow, and unforgettable mountain views.

What You’ll Experience

  • Immersive village life in a serene Himalayan hamlet: share stories around evening fires, stroll winding alleys, and soak in peaceful rhythms.
  • Snow-filled adventures — build snow forts, chase snowflakes, or simply pause amid falling flakes under towering peaks.
  • Architectural wonders — visit centuries-old temples rich in carvings, frescoes and local legends.
  • Home-style Himachali cuisine — savor steaming thukpa, hearty local breads, and fresh mountain chai made by villagers.
  • Slow travel magic: unhurried pace, genuine connections, spontaneous cultural surprises and new friendships.

Why This Journey Stands Out

  • It’s nothing like standard tour routes — you won’t find crowds or packaged itineraries.
  • Rooted in authenticity and mindful travel, it combines cultural depth with simple joys.
  • Ideal for those who want to wander meaningfully, meet fellow travellers, and leave with memories not maps.

Depart in the evening from Delhi as Backpackclan takes you on a comfortable overnight journey to Manali aboard a Volvo bus, allowing you to relax and enjoy the scenic drive while you rest.

Arrive at the village around noon and settle into the homestay. Spend the afternoon with Backpackclan exploring the village on foot—visit ancient temples, interact with locals, and gain insight into their traditional way of life. As evening falls, gather around a cozy fire to share stories and experiences. Overnight stay at the homestay.

Get ready for an unforgettable Himalayan experience with Backpackclan! Join us for a refreshing snow walk guided by our trusted local expert, taking in breathtaking mountain views along the way. Build a snowman, dance in the crisp mountain air, or simply relax and soak in the serene beauty of the Himalayas. End the day with a peaceful overnight stay at the homestay.

After a morning filled with games and fun activities, it will soon be time to say goodbye to the mountains—at least for now.
