Packages with stay & cab

Dharamshala 3 Day Tour (3D/2N, ₹7,500 pp) is the complete picture — two nights with breakfast, a private cab throughout, McLeod Ganj in full and a Kangra heritage day. The Weekend Package (2D/1N, ₹4,500 pp) compresses it into a two-day window, and the 4 Day Tour (4D/3N, ₹9,500 pp) adds a full Bir-Billing or Palampur day. Prefer to book your own hotel? The Dharamshala Sightseeing Tour (2N/3D, from ₹5,500) is the cab, driver and local route plan without the stay. Celebrating? The Honeymoon Package (4D/3N, ₹14,500 pp) runs the slow, boutique-stay version with a candlelit dinner and a Naddi sunset evening.

Heritage, temples & culture

Kangra Fort & Museum Tour (half day, ₹1,600 pp) visits one of the oldest forts in India, above the Banganga gorge — read the 3,500-year story before you go. Masroor Rock-Cut Temples (full day, ₹2,900 pp) reaches the 8th-century monolithic temples carved from a single sandstone ridge — Kangra's most under-visited wonder. The Kangra Shaktipeeth Circuit (1 day, ₹3,400 pp) links Jwalamukhi's eternal flame, Brajeshwari Devi, Chamunda Devi and Baijnath in one well-planned darshan day.

McLeod Ganj Monastery Tour (full day, ₹2,200 pp) does Tibetan Dharamshala properly — the Dalai Lama Temple, Norbulingka Institute, Gyuto Monastery and the Library of Tibetan Works. Andretta Artists' Village (half day, ₹1,900 pp) is the quiet one: pottery studios and a painter's legacy in Palampur's tea countryside.

Valley days & nature

Palampur Tea Valley Tour (1 day, ₹2,900 pp) walks you into working tea gardens with the Neugal Khad viewpoint under the Dhauladhar wall. Pong Dam Wetland Tour (1 day, ₹3,400 pp) heads to the Ramsar-listed reservoir where bar-headed geese winter in their tens of thousands. Naddi Sunset & Dal Lake Tour (half day, ₹1,400 pp) is built around the best light of the day.

Adventure & experiences

Bir Billing Paragliding (from ₹3,500) flies from the world-cup take-off; Indru Nag Paragliding (₹1,800) gets you airborne twenty minutes from town. New to flying? Read what nobody tells you about Bir paragliding, and see our paragliding service for dates and weather. On the ground: the Palampur Adventure Park day (₹2,500 pp) — zipline, ATV, archery — the Dharamshala Cycling Tour (half day, ₹1,800), and a guided trout-fishing day (₹3,500 pp) on the Kangra streams or the storied Uhl beats at Barot, permit arranged.

Offbeat overnights

Barot Valley Getaway (2D/1N, ₹5,500 pp). An overnight escape to the Uhl river valley beyond Jogindernagar — riverside homestay or camp, the trout farm the Fisheries Department has run since 1959, deodar forest across the hanging bridge, and almost nobody else around. Pairs naturally with the Rajgundha valley trek for a longer roadless loop.

Tour prices are per person for two sharing a private cab, ex-Dharamshala; entry tickets and meals are extra unless stated. Solo travellers and groups get exact quotes on WhatsApp.
