Himalaya Retreat

Human energy is like a battery, needing to be recharged from time to time. This retreat is exactly designed with the idea of recharging our body, mind and soul on the banks of the holy river Ganga at Rishikesh.

This retreat will be a good start for your new year 2012. Rishikesh is at the foothills of the Himalaya, about 230 km from India's capital, Delhi. The retreat will be held at the one of the most serene and tranquil places of Rishikesh, with daily practice of yoga and meditation and moderate trekking to nearby holy places. Apart from the yoga retreat, we will have some interesting sightseeing tours to various places in Uttaranchal state.

If you wish to travel or stay longer in India, our friendly tour operator can help to organize your travel or stays.  Please inform us about your travel choice.
