INDIA 2026

​

Our journey begins in the metropolis of NEW DELHI. Here we will visit the Ramakrishna Monastery, the busy market of Paharganj, and share our first meal together. Most importantly, we will connect with our yoga and meditation practices to support the mind, body and spirit to come into a state of wholeness and prepare for our journey. 

​

AMRITSAR — 2 Nights

From Delhi we travel to Amritsar, home of the Golden Temple and the spiritual heart of Sikhism.

Here, devotion is continuous. Kirtan flows twenty-four hours a day, echoing across the water that surrounds the temple, carrying prayer through every hour of light and darkness. The atmosphere is alive — reverent, welcoming, and deeply grounded in service.

Sikhism’s commitment to equality, generosity, and devotion is not symbolic here; it is lived. Pilgrims arrive from all walks of life, sharing meals, prayer, and presence side by side. The energy is vibrant and deeply moving — a powerful introduction to India’s spiritual depth.

Amritsar opens the journey through sound, rhythm, and collective devotion, setting a tone of humility and reverence that carries forward.

​

DHARAMSALA — 6 Nights

The heart of the journey

Set in the Himalayan foothills, Dharamsala offers a rare convergence of spiritual lineage, the sacredness of the Himlayas themselves and a peek into daily rhythms of the Tibetan community in exile. Perched above the Kangra Valley, our daily yoga, meditation, and chanting take place overlooking an expansive, grounding landscape.

Our days here are intentionally structured: morning practice, time for reflection and integration, cultural and spiritual visits, and space for personal exploration. We visit the Dalai Lama’s residence and the Norbulingka Institute, engaging directly

with Tibetan culture, artistry, and philosophy.   

​

BODH GAYA— 2 Nights

In Bodh Gaya, we visit the very site of the Buddha’s awakening. We sit together beneath the Bodhi Tree, walk the temple grounds, in deep reverence and practice in the presence of centuries of devotion.

The invitation is unmistakable.

This portion of the journey is quiet, focused, and profound.

​

VARANASI — 2 Nights

We conlcude or journey in Varanasi, along the banks of the holy Ganga in one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. 

Ritual, life, death, and devotion unfold in full view.

Through sunrise on the river, evening aarti, and daily life along the ghats,

we witness the depth and complexity of sacred tradition that has endured for millennia.
