SUMMARY:Yoga & Travel Retreat – Himalayan Region, India
DESCRIPTION:“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition.”\n– Mark Twain\n“To other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.”\n– Martin Luther King Jr.\nA YOGA & TRAVEL RETREAT IN THE HIMALAYAN REGION\nOCTOBER 05-19, 14Nights/15Days\nHave you, my dear readers, ever dreamt of going to India? Has this land fascinated you to the point that you added it to your bucket list? I hear a resounding ‘YES’. Well, in that case, here is an opportunity I am going to offer to you.\nYou are already aware that I have moved back to India, in a small Himalayan town. And since I have returned, I keep thinking of bringing some of you here to show you the uniqueness of this region and show you the less-explored places, connect you with communities in the villages over here. This part of the state where I live is not big on tourism – both domestic and international – which makes it authentic and untainted by tourist traps. People here genuinely want to connect with outsiders and you get to experience authentic Himalayan hospitality.\nI imagine us practicing yoga & meditation on scenic spots overlooking vast mountain ranges and snow-capped peaks towering behind those mountains. We will explore the nature through various nature walks and hikes, find out what local arts & crafts & cuisines we can discover, how communities here come together to form cooperatives and grow through cooperation instead of competition. Most of these places we will go will not be crowded, we will have our peace wherever we go.\nAfter spending half of our time at these places above 2000m, we shall descend to the famous valley town of Rishikesh where the gorgeous river Ganga turns turquoise by the month of October and the whole town seems high on divine energy. We shall spend some time in Rishikesh central area and some time on the outskirts of it, somewhere in a quiet camp up on the mountain overlooking the river and the city of Rishikesh. In Rishikesh, we have ashrams, temples, and caves to visit and a lot of yogis all around 🙂 Afterall, it is a self-proclaimed world capital of Yoga.\nTowards the end of the journey, we will go to see the Taj Mahal before heading to Delhi Airport and the 14N/15D long journey shall come to an end which could also be a beginning of a new inspiration to life and a desire to return to mother India. Who knows!\nDay-to-day Plan\nDay 1, Saturday, Oct 5: Flying from Romania\nDay 2, Oct 6: Staying in Delhi, Sightseeing in Delhi\nDay 3, Oct 7: Driving 8-9 hours to Ranikhet, 1870m, a beautiful mountain town\nDay 4, 5, & 6, Oct 8-9-10: Visiting temples, hiking, exploring local arts & handicrafts, connecting with the local community, exploring some villages and more…in and around Ranikhet\nDay 7, Oct 11: Driving 7-8 hours to Munsiyari, 2200m, another gorgeous small town\nDay 8 & 9, Oct 12 & 13: Hiking and experiencing living with the villagers in their homes, learning about social work happening in the region, exploring cuisines\nDay 10, Oct 14: Driving 12-14 hours to the valley town of Rishikesh through picturesque landscapes\nDay 11, 12 & 13, Oct 15, 16, & 17: Exploring Ashrams, temples, caves; experiencing camp-stay, Ganga-worship-rituals and much more\nDay 14, Oct 18: Driving 7-8 hours to Agra to see the Taj-Mahal, spending the night in Agra\nDay 15, Oct 19: Driving 3-4 hours to Delhi Airport to catch the flight back to Romania\nWeather Conditions, Gears, Visa, Vaccines, Air-tickets etc.\nOctober is the one of the best months to visit India, the monsoon season would have passed, the weather would be pleasant, sky would be clear, far-off Himalayan peaks will be visible…\nI will guide you through every step of your trip to India, from visa to vaccines, to help you pack, buy tickets and so on. But there is no need to talk about that in detail yet.\nCost:\nIf you book your spot before 15th June, the cost is 1950 euros.\nIf you book your spot after 15th June, the cost is 2100 euros.\nWhich Includes:\nShared accommodation\nThree meals & 1ltr of water daily\nDaily yoga and other practices\nAll the domestic transportation\nAll entrance tickets for sight-seeing\nDoesn’t Include:\nInternational flight tickets\nPersonal shopping\nAnything that is not included in ‘which includes’ section\nHow to Book your Spot:\nBook your spot by paying 500 euros in advance which is non-refundable.\nThe images shared are the actual images of places we will be visiting and seeing and the people, maybe we will encounter the kind of yogis displayed on the images too. The Romanians you see in the images are the ones who travelled to Rishikesh with me a couple of years ago.\nI hope you gained clarity on what it is that you will be signing up for. If you have specific questions and curiosities, feel free to get in touch with me.\nEven if you cannot make it to India this time, I will be curious to know if you would like to join some other time.\nThis brings me to the end of this announcement letter.\nI want to let you know that I am doing well, feeling tranquil in the mountains and in good weather while the rest of India is already reaching 40+ degrees. And I hope you are thriving, doing great and enjoying the warmth of the sun.\nUntil next time,\nTake good care\nAnd sign up for the retreat 🙂\n              \n
