4-Day Himalayan Yoga, Meditation & Hiking Retreat in Manali

Nestled beside the sacred Vashisht Hot Springs, our retreat offers a profound opportunity for inner transformation. The location is deeply spiritual, believed to be a meditation site of Sage Vashishta, with three ancient temples dedicated to Vashishta, Lord Rama, and Lord Shiva surrounding the area. This serene environment, combined with the gentle rhythm of nature, creates the perfect backdrop for your yoga and meditation practice.

Our daily program typically begins at 7 am with an invigorating yoga, pranayama, and meditation session to start your day with clarity and focus. After a nutritious homemade breakfast, you're free to explore at your own pace. You can join a guided trek to the stunning Jogini Falls, an hour's walk through the valley, or take an excursion to the village of Goshal, Old Manali, and the beautiful Hadimba Temple. Afternoons may include another yoga and meditation session at 4:30 pm, followed by dinner and evening reflection.

What truly sets this retreat apart is the authentic family home experience. You'll stay in the humble Himalayan Lotus boutique stay or with a local family in Vashisht, where warmth, simplicity, and tranquility abound. The clean, simple rooms support mindful living, and the home-cooked yogic meals are prepared with fresh, local ingredients to nourish your body and soul.

Our teachers, Yogi Ganesh and Chhape Ram, combine decades of experience in Hatha Yoga, meditation, pranayama, and Himalayan trekking. They are dedicated to helping you deepen your practice, whether you're taking your first steps or are a seasoned practitioner. Their approach is gentle, personalized, and infused with genuine care, ensuring you leave feeling stronger, more relaxed, and in tune with yourself.
