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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We will explore traditional Hatha and Ashtanga-inspired practices, along with pranayama, meditation, yoga nidra, and yogic lifestyle wisdom. The focus is not just on asana, but on how yoga can support your entire way of being.

I have never practiced yoga and I'm a complete beginner, can I join this program?

Absolutely! Our retreat is designed to welcome participants of all levels, including complete beginners. The sessions are thoughtfully structured to guide you step-by-step, with personalized support to ensure you feel comfortable and confident. Yoga is not about flexibility or experience; it’s about connecting with yourself.

How to reach the retreat centre in Uttarkashi?

The nearest airport to the retreat center is Dehradun (Jolly Grant Airport), and the nearest major railway station is Haridwar. From either of these points, you can easily travel to Rishikesh or Haridwar, where most of our participants will be gathering before heading to Uttarkashi. Once your registration is confirmed, we’ll add you to a participant group where you can coordinate travel—either through carpooling or by sharing a Tempo Traveller with others. This makes the journey smoother, more connected, and very cost-effective, typically ranging between ₹1,000 to ₹1,500 per person. Please note that this travel cost is not included in the retreat fee and will need to be paid separately. We’ll guide you with all the details after registration!

We’re honoured by the sincere interest this retreat has received over the past decade and we are committed to reviewing each application with care and attention. Due to limited spots and the nature of the retreat, we give priority to those who demonstrate genuine intent, physical and emotional readiness, and alignment with the journey we’re offering.
