Description
Himachal Tribal Tour – Heritage, Himalayas & Hidden Valleys
Himachal Pradesh — where the Himalayas meet heritage and harmony — is a region that embodies both rugged adventure and spiritual peace. Derived from “Him” (snow) and “Alaya” (abode), it truly is the Land of Snow. Revered as Dev Bhumi — the Abode of Gods — its landscapes blend alpine forests, high-altitude lakes, ancient monasteries, and timeless villages untouched by modern chaos.
This exclusive Tribal Circuit Tour takes you through the cultural heart of Himachal — from apple-laden orchards of Kinnaur to the Buddhist monasteries of Spiti, the crystal-clear Chandratal Lake, and the alpine serenity of Manali.
Curated by AAIFLY, it’s designed for adventure seekers, nature photographers, and cultural explorers seeking the raw essence of the Himalayas.
