The village of Rishikesh is nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas on the banks of the Ganges River and has been home to great saints and Vedic masters for thousands of years. We’ve been exploring and studying in this beautiful area for coming up on two decades and we’re looking forward to giving you a unique look into a region that will inspire and amaze.

This journey of personal discovery will include knowledge talks, exploring the local area, witnessing ceremonies by the banks of the Ganges, visiting temples in the Himalayan foothills, taking dips in the holy river, meditating in ancient caves, meeting with local swamis, and enjoying delicious vegetarian cuisine.

THE MEDITATION PROGRAMME
Experience a very specific programme of yoga and deep meditations within the nourishing environment of the ashram. This is a rare opportunity to take your practice to the next level through an extended combination of gentle yoga, breathing technique and meditation. This creates profound purifying experiences and ultimately delivers an accelerated upgrade in consciousness.
TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION
Having got yourself to New Delhi we’ll pick you up from the airport and take you to a modern, comfortable hotel. We’ll enjoy an evening settling in and sharing some delicious food. The next morning, we take a first-class train through the countryside to Rishikesh. We stay in a simple ashram on the banks of the Ganges river. After 12 days the retreat ends in Rishikesh and you’ll then travel back to New Delhi.
Spending time at the ashram was a transformational experience – one I shall treasure for the rest of my life.
A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE
If you’ve never been to India, this is a fantastic way to be introduced to the country and its culture. If you’ve been before, this is India like you haven’t experienced it. You’re safe, you’re with an amazing group of people to share in the local culture and expand your Vedic knowledge.

Praise for past retreats...
A truly transformational experience. If you’ve been thinking about going to India, I urge you to take the plunge. A trip of a lifetime.
I loved our daily invigorating swims in the Ganges, dodging cows on the footpaths, visiting ancient temples and holy sites, eating delicious curries and Indian sweets.
