Forest Bathing walk in the serene Glen Forest of Shimla

Step away from the rush and reconnect with nature through a slow, guided Forest Bathing walk in the serene Glen Forest of Shimla. Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing), this experience is about more than just walking - it’s about being present, absorbing the natural surroundings through all your senses, and returning to a more peaceful, grounded state of mind.

This is not a trek or fitness walk. It’s a therapeutic nature experience, designed to reduce stress, boost well-being, and bring a sense of calm. As you walk mindfully through the forest, your guide will help you observe native plants, spot colorful birds, identify mushrooms and fungi, and simply be present in the peaceful green surroundings.

We also take time to sit in silence, absorb the forest’s energy, and experience nature as a healing space.
