The Retreat

Our daily itinerary is a harmonious blend of yoga, meditation, cultural immersion, nature walks, hikes, exploration, group sessions and adventures that nourish the soul. This sacred journey takes you to the very source of the revered river Ganga, where ancient wisdom, natural beauty, and profound spirituality converge. The participants will have an opportunity to learn the art of embracing life with each breath and most importantly they will get a chance to unlearn patterns that are keeping them stressed, stuck and stagnant. Through our decade long experience of hosting these retreats, we have seen individuals evolve and transform physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. 

The Journey and Location(s)

The program begins in Uttarkashi with the arrival of the participants at our beautiful ashram situated at the banks on river Bhagirathi. We will spend two nights in Uttarkashi and Gangotri before starting our ascent to Gaumukh (13,200 ft.) and Tapovan (14,640 ft.). Tapovan is a unique flat land right above the Gangotri glaciers. It is the base camp of some of the most magnificent mountains including Mt. Shivling, Mt. Meru, Bhagirathi Sisters and right from the centre of this mystical land flows a glacial stream called Amrit Ganga: Nectar of Ganga, the waters of which seekers, mystics, and sages have been drinking from centuries. This is not just a trek but an ancient pilgrimage tracing river Ganga to its source.
