Shakti was founded by Jamshyd Sethna, whose love of the mountains began during his schooldays in Darjeeling and thereafter as a young tea planter in Upper Assam. A Parsi from Bombay, Jamshyd is one of India’s leading travel professionals and his travel experiences, love of food and art, combined with a passion for the Himalaya, is the creative force behind the foundation and evolution of Shakti. F

Having worked in India’s luxury travel business for over two decades, he saw an increasing number of sophisticated travelers seeking something beyond five-star luxury and great monuments – something simpler, which would take them off the well-trodden paths- closer to India’s landscape, her people and their living cultures. Shakti was conceived to share the rejuvenating effects of remote surroundings – to provide privileged access to places far removed from the noise and clutter of the modern world, where space, peace and epic landscapes provoke the imagination and nourish the soul. In these places of intense beauty and their deep, soothing serenity the traveler can slow down for a while and simply “be”. The first Shakti Village Walk was developed in the Kumaoni foothills of the western Himalaya in 2004. A year later Shakti secured the lease on a parcel of land set on a spectacular ridge at an altitude of 7000 feet and a luxurious tented camp was created, which stood for a year for the duration of the design and building of the permanent structure- Shakti 360 Leti- which opened in 2007. Meanwhile, in 2006 a second Village Walk was developed in Sikkim, giving travelers the opportunity to experience the beautiful landscapes and Buddhist culture of the eastern Himalaya. Shakti introduced three new village houses in Ladakh in 2011, increasing the total to six. Two of these houses are over 200 years old and an exciting addition to our existing portfolio. There are more such ventures in the pipeline, which shall be announced soon!

Writer Ute Junker has listed the ‘Top 20 experiences in Asia you must do’ in Traveller for the & included Shakti Himalaya in the list.

Ute wrote 'Trekking the Himalayas doesn’t have to be a hardcore experience. Shakti Himalaya’s private walking trips, running in destinations such as Sikkim, Kumaon and Ladakh, make it easy to enjoy a mountain high. Each day, you walk between villages, through lush forests or past soaring peaks, and relax in the evening in a village house kitted out with king-size beds and modern bathrooms. Feeling lazy? Let your driver know when you’re ready to be picked up and he’ll drive you the rest of the way – or take the morning off for a yoga session or a cooking class’.

Thank you and - we ❤️ being on your bucket list.

There is a gratitude we all feel at Shakti to be sharing our small corners of the Indian Himalayas again. The Shakti teams in Kumaon and Sikkim are bringing to life journeys that at one point not so long ago were a far away dream - their passion for the Shakti trips we run make us proud every day.

Two updates that have made travel even easier - the Air Suvidha form required prior to arrival into India has been scraped and as of today British passport holders can use the evisa system again.

No better time than now to be planning your escape to the Himalayas; Shakti Kumaon and Shakti Sikkim will run now until mid April - and then the Shakti teams move North for the Shakti Ladakh 2023 season which kicks off in May. Be in touch with us to plan your adventure.

Shakti Kumaon and Shakti Sikkim are open now until mid April and then the team moves North in May when we will open for the Shakti Ladakh 2023 season.

No better time than now to escape to the mountains.
