About Us
“In a hundred ages of the gods, I could not tell thee of the glories of the Himalayas.
As the morning sun dries up the dew, so are the sins of mankind by merely seeing the Himalayas”
- Skanda Purana
About Us
Himalayan Mountain Sojourns is a holiday camp and trekking organiser in Manali, Himachal Pradesh.
Usually, people visiting Manali create a hectic itinerary aiming to maximise their holiday but face complete exhaustion and homesickness. We do not propose this to our guests.
At HMS, we have designed special packages for travellers who want to spend their vacation exploring nature and discover an eternal bliss available for free in the Himalayas. Our campsite and outdoor activities help you gain a pleasant and positive outlook on life – something that can’t be had in busy cities.
Choosing to explore the outdoors with Himalayan Mountain Sojourns ensures that your holiday in Manali is exciting and invigorating without leaving you tired. Let’s get in touch and unravel more of nature’s mysteries in Manali.
Our Vision
Mankind has drastically veered away from the path that nature had once designed. Rejecting the garden of Eden, man built concrete jungles and declared control over nature; a victory that only multiplied the stress and strain in daily life.
At Himalayan Mountain Sojourns, we help you explore the older way of life – one linked directly to nature.
For centuries, the Himalayas have been the spiritual playground of many mystics and seers. The divinity of its snow-clad peaks, life-sustaining river and lush valleys is unparalleled. We believe in slow travel, where one sits in silent communion with nature and realises the enormity of human form and potential.
Over the years, uncontrolled tourism in Manali has brought many city-specific problems to the wild outdoors.
As a responsible outdoor company owned by locals from Manali, Himalayan Mountain Sojourns plans and arranges your stay in an eco-friendly way so that you don’t partake in the sin of damaging the fragile Himalayan ecology.
We prefer to bring travellers closer to the soul of nature, and in the process, get closer to their own thoughtful selves.
