North India Cultural Tour: The Adventure of a Lifetime with Jen Mitchell and Kristin Reed
Take a sacred journey to the mountain town of Rishikesh, situated in the Himalayan foothills. We will immerse ourselves into the culture of meditation, prayer, & practice by visiting auspicious sites, hiking the Himalayan foothills & honoring the sacred Ganges River, both in personal ritual and ceremony.
Our expertly crafted cultural visit to North India is centered in Rishikesh, the self proclaimed “Yoga Capital of the World” and made famous by a visit from the Beatles in the 60s. Rishikesh has been a magnet to spiritual seekers for decades; to visit brings a deep, lasting sense of spirituality and inspiration.
We’ll stay at Atali Ganga, a luxury eco-retreat overlooking the stunning Ganges River. You’ll sleep in the quiet of the moutains: We will wake slowly, and start each day with pranayama, meditation & asana practice.
Visits to sacred temples & historic meditation caves are on the schedule, as are guided hikes (mild and challenge option) to Himalayan villages, cleansing dunks in the clean waters of the Ganges, and a private fire puja with a local priest at sunset on the banks of the Ganga. Additional options available to white water the Ganges, visit the Maraharashi ashram made famous by the Beatles, and witness a sacred, bustling Aarti ceremony in town. You’ll also have ample time to honor your own interests, head into town for terrific shopping, or simply rest.
It’s impossible to travel to Northern India without being touched permanently. You’ll travel with confidence, trusting this retreat is expertly curated – it is Twist Yoga’s 4th retreat to Rishikesh and Jen’s seventh visit to India; all locales and guides have been thorougly vetted to provide a smooth and unforgettable travel experience.
We are honored to share our knowledge of India with you. Click here to view past retreat images.
