The Shakti Experience
Tailored for You
SHAKTI
Shakti welcomes families, solo travellers, groups of friends and adult couples of all ages. We tailor our experiences to suit you. The itineraries here should be used only as a guide; every journey is fully customisable before and during your trip.
A Shakti journey is flexible, private, and fully-inclusive, immersing travellers into the heart of local communities. Whether you’re craving a leisurely cultural exploration or a more challenging adventure. You set your own tempo. We take care of the rest.
Experiential Journeys
Whether exploring on foot and by car in Kumaon & Sikkim, or on rafting, biking, and car expeditions in Ladakh, Shakti holidays combine minimal environmental impact with maximum style. Itinerary options range from 4-day village walks in Kumaon to 10- night-or-more village and camping odysseys in Ladakh. Our expeditions transcend the limits of a mere homestay or a mundane trek. They're immersive journeys meticulously designed to be both invigorating and relaxed. The perfect antidotes to the stresses of everyday life.
Community Focus
Our ethos is founded on collaboration with the local communities in which we operate. We lease village homes to secure income for owners and ensure sustainability. Each family member holds a lasting job with Shakti, and we source produce from homeowners and the wider community for our kitchens. By using local resources and workforce, we cultivate a deep sense of pride. Shakti Village Houses are much more than homestays; they symbolize community pride and a sustainable future.
Northern India Nestled in the northern reaches of the sub-continent, at an altitude exceeding 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) on a high plateau, Ladakh is frequently likened to 'little Tibet'. This remote terrain shielded Ladakh from the upheavals of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, preserving one of the world's most intact Tantric Buddhist societies. Here, a high-altitude desert landscape unfolds, ruled by formidable snow-capped peaks and crystalline turquoise lakes, making Ladakh Himalayas an unrivaled gem of picturesque beauty on our planet.
GEOGRAPHY
“My Shakti trip was truly a life alerting experience. To be able to immerse oneself in the culture and stay in a home of a native and to experience first hand the beautify of the people. The Shakti experience was one I would highly recommend to anyone wanting an Authentic experience into a very exotic unusual land.”
