For one week this December, the Himalayas come to Delhi. Journeying Across The Himalayas, presented by Royal Enfield Social Mission, returns for its third edition from 03 Dec 2026 to 09 Dec 2026 – a festival of art, music, food, craft and film from the mountain communities of the Himalayan region. This year's theme is "Becoming", and this third edition follows two earlier editions of the festival.
The festival is co-curated with Himalayan communities, artists and cultural practitioners, so what you see and taste comes from the people who make it. Expect more than 25 art installations and exhibitions, over 20 live music performances and more than 20 culinary experiences at Chouka, the festival's food courtyard. More than 50 workshops and conversations – including craft and sketching sessions – give you the chance to try things with your own hands. The bazaar brings together over 45 Himalayan brands, with ten product launches, and daily film screenings are curated by the Dharamshala International Film Festival.
Where it happens
The festival takes place at Travancore Palace in New Delhi. Spending a week in the city's winter, the festival is an easy evening or weekend plan, and a rare chance to meet Himalayan makers without leaving Delhi.
Who it's for
If you love mountain cultures, handmade things, good food and live music, this is a festival made for you. Come with friends or family, join a workshop, catch a film and take home something made in the hills. Designers, craft practitioners and people working in sustainable tourism will also find plenty to learn from the conversations and the bazaar.
Tickets are available on BookMyShow With a full week of programming, there is time to come back for more than one day.
