10-Day Solo Wellness and Cultural Yoga Journey Through North India

This retreat stands out by combining daily yoga with a multi-destination cultural tour of North India. Most retreats keep you in one place; this one takes you on a journey through four cities, each with its own unique atmosphere and attractions. It's ideal for solo travelers who want to explore a new country but also have the safety and structure of a small group. Abhi, your host, is personally involved in every aspect, from arranging transportation to guiding you through temples and sharing stories about each location. He's known for being flexible and accommodating—guests often mention how he goes out of his way to make sure everyone has a great experience.

The itinerary is thoughtfully planned to balance exploration with rest. Each day includes optional morning yoga and meditation, followed by sightseeing and cultural activities. You'll visit the Taj Mahal at sunrise, explore the Amer Fort in Jaipur, and attend the Ganga Aarti in Rishikesh. The retreat includes stays in comfortable 3-4 star hotels, all transportation in an air-conditioned car, and three meals a day (mostly Indian vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes). Some lunches are on your own during travel days, giving you the chance to try local street food or relax at a café.

The journey begins in Delhi, where you'll visit landmarks like the Lotus Temple and Akshardham Temple. From there, you'll head to Agra to see the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort. Next, it's on to Jaipur, the Pink City, known for its Amer Fort, Hawa Mahal, and vibrant markets. Finally, you'll travel to Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of the World, where the retreat truly centers on wellness. Here, you'll have access to ashrams, engage in more extensive yoga and meditation sessions, and experience the spiritual side of India. The retreat runs year-round, but the period from October to March is considered the best for comfortable weather and clear skies.
