India Himalayan Adventure

If you thought the only thing you can do in the Himalayas is climb a mountain, then think again.  

On this Bucket List Co adventure to the Indian Himalayan foothills, you’ll not only be trekking, but rafting, canyoning, ziplining and safariing too. When we say “adventure”, we really mean it, and that’s exactly what you’ll get on this incredible trip to India. 

Quite a bit of curry as well. 

Dramatic topography, lush valleys, stunning waterfalls, traditional villages and awesome wildlife await you on this adventure of a lifetime in India. Rickshaw rides, ancient architecture and maybe even the Bengal tiger too. 
And you’ll do it all with the rugged peaks of the mighty Himalayas in sight, with the Ganges flowing by. If your soul needs feeding, you’ll find the perfect recipe in the Indian Himalayas. (But definitely no chicken tikka masalas.)

Here’s what some of our awesome customers had to say:

TBLC’s customer service; passionate team; mixed age groups; expert planning; networks of highly knowledgeable local tour guides and local chefs, combine for amazing experiences! We have enjoyed two great adventures with TBLC (including successful summits of Kilimanjaro, in 2019, and Mt Toubkal, in April 2023) and look forward to booking the next. I highly recommend TBLC to anyone considering an altitude challenge. I would also strongly recommend TBLC’s four day Toubkal trek over a two day trek (as offered by other companies). The extra two days mean you have chance to bond more with your group ahead of the summit night, as well as getting to spend more time walking in the stunning Atlas Mountains. The traditional Moroccan food served throughout this trip is another real selling point! – Eleanor May 2023

The bucket list company do exactly that, offer bucket list trips. Just come back from climbing kilimanjaro with them, Keith was there the whole way through to guide and advise us, he used exceptional porters and guides on the mountain to make our experience just that “bucket list” can’t fault them

Great company to book with, easy payment options, clear communication, and responds quickly to any enquiries. Have booked with The Bucket List Company twice now. Looking forward to my next trip in 2024 to K2 Base Camp. They arrange everything about your trip, you simply have to pay & go! They make it affordable for every budget. Highly recommend.

The Bucket list company are an amazing find for solo adventure’s,I’ve been on three trips so far and have just booked another, If you fancy climbing Kilimanjaro or trekking though the Andes mountains or visiting the Treasury at Petra have a look at the bucket list company I would highly recommend them, The itinerary of all the trips has been well thought out from start to finish, The main thing that attracted me to use the bucket list company in the first place was having a uk guide go on the adventure with you..
