Parent-Child Trip | Himachal Getaway

Bonds & Beyond — Single-Parent Getaway to Kangra Valley, Himachal Pradesh (Sept-Oct 2025)

Being a single parent can be a challenging journey, but what if you could get away on a trip designed to bring single parents and their children closer through travel, play, and shared discovery?

Bonds & Beyond is that kind of a getaway!

In the month of September, we bring an exciting trip to Kangra Valley in Himachal Pradesh, known for its tea gardens, paragliding, Tibetan circuit and the stunning Dhauladhars. This trip promises a refreshing and enriching experience for both parents and children.

You’d be staying at the Lodge at Wah, Palampur, a Tea Estate that was established in 1857 in Palampur, Himachal Pradesh by the British. The word ‘Wah’ means ‘wow’, and a visit to the estate will hopefully elicit the same reaction!

Why Join?

This trip is thoughtfully designed to ensure every detail fosters a deeper connection between you and your child, allowing you to bond over shared experiences in this tranquil setting.

Whether you’re exploring the tea estate, taking in the breathtaking views on a paragliding flight or simply relaxing, this is your opportunity to truly immerse yourselves in nature and each other.

We have Three Trips on different dates:

Dushera Trip – 22-26 September
Dushera Trip – 27 September – 01 October
