After breakfast, travel by private air-conditioned vehicle to Rishikesh, situated beside the River Ganges in the Himalayan foothills. The journey normally takes approximately six to seven hours, depending on traffic and road conditions.

Check into your selected retreat or wellness hotel and receive an introduction to the property and the coming days’ program. If time and energy permit, join a gentle breathing or guided meditation session before dinner.

The evening is deliberately light, allowing you to settle into the quieter rhythm of Rishikesh.

Begin your first full day in Rishikesh with a guided yoga session adapted to the group’s experience. The practice may combine gentle Hatha yoga, mindful movement, breathing exercises and relaxation.

After breakfast, meet your instructor for an introduction to pranayama, meditation and the broader principles of yoga. The emphasis is practical and accessible rather than academic or religious.

Enjoy time to rest after lunch. Later, take a guided orientation walk through Rishikesh and continue to the riverbank for the evening Ganga Aarti. Lamps, chanting and devotional music create one of the city’s most memorable cultural and spiritual experiences.

Return to your accommodation for dinner.

Start the morning with yoga, pranayama and a short guided meditation. After breakfast, enjoy time for journaling, reading or relaxing at your accommodation.

Later, visit the former Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Ashram, now commonly known as the Beatles Ashram. Walk among its meditation chambers, forest paths and murals while learning about Rishikesh’s influence on Western interest in meditation and Indian spirituality.

In the late afternoon, participate in a gentle restorative-yoga or yoga-nidra session designed to encourage deep relaxation.

Depart before sunrise for Kunjapuri Temple, situated in the Himalayan foothills above Rishikesh. On a clear morning, the viewpoint offers expansive views across forested valleys and distant Himalayan peaks.

A short guided meditation or period of silent reflection can be arranged at the viewpoint. Guests who prefer not to manage temple steps or uneven ground may enjoy the principal viewpoint without undertaking an extended walk.

Return to Rishikesh for a late breakfast or brunch. The middle of the day is left free for rest, an optional spa treatment or quiet time beside the river.

Conclude the day with a gentle evening yoga and relaxation session.

A less active alternative will be arranged for guests who prefer not to walk on uneven terrain.

Return to the retreat for lunch and an unhurried afternoon. Optional Ayurvedic treatments, massage or an individual wellness consultation can be arranged at additional cost.

The evening includes guided meditation or yoga nidra, followed by dinner.

Today provides an opportunity to deepen the practices introduced during the journey without creating an overly demanding schedule.

Begin with yoga and pranayama, followed by breakfast. Later, participate in an interactive session exploring practical yoga philosophy, mindful living and ways to maintain a personal practice after returning home.

The afternoon is free for reflection, independent exploration, cafés, shopping for yoga-related items or an optional private session with an instructor. A concluding meditation and reflection session will be arranged in the evening.

The exact practices can be adjusted according to your experience and personal interests.

Begin the day with a final guided yoga and meditation session. After breakfast, check out and travel privately to Delhi.

Upon arrival, check into your hotel and spend the evening at leisure. This protected Delhi night avoids connecting a long road journey directly with an international departure and provides additional security in case of traffic or weather-related delays.

Overnight: Delhi
Meals: Breakfast

At the appropriate time, transfer privately to Delhi International Airport for your onward flight.

Standard hotel check-out normally applies. A late check-out or additional night can be arranged if your international flight departs late in the evening.
