Why Adventure Cloud 9

We plan the trips
we would take ourselves

Adventure Cloud 9 has been arranging journeys across the Himalaya and beyond for two decades. Tell us your dates and an approximate budget — we will do the rest.

Cloud 9 Cottage · Manali

Our own stay in the Kullu valley.

  1. Built around your dates

    Tell us when you can travel and roughly what you want to spend. The itinerary is shaped around that, not the other way round.

  2. Two decades on these routes

    Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal, Sikkim, Bhutan and Rajasthan — we plan the same ground we know well.

  3. Arrangements in advance

    Hotels, houseboats, transfers, sightseeing and Bhutan permits are settled before you land.

  4. Named people, direct contact

    Two travel planners in Delhi on call and WhatsApp throughout the trip — not a call centre queue.

  5. Cloud 9 Cottage, Manali

    Our own stay in Manali, for travellers who would rather begin somewhere familiar.
