7-Day Himalayan Sightseeing and Yoga Wellness Retreat in Rishikesh

This retreat is structured to give you both yoga and a real look at Rishikesh, often called the yoga capital of the world. Each day follows a rhythm: an early morning Hatha yoga class, breakfast, then a few hours of free time or an excursion. The afternoons are for rest, and late afternoons bring meditation and pranayama before dinner and evening activities.

The excursions are a core part of the experience. You'll visit landmarks like the swinging bridges of Ram Jhula and Laxman Jhula, the peaceful Swarg Ashram, the expansive Parmarth Niketan, and the famous Triveni Ghat. There's also a trip to the Beatles Ashram, where the band studied meditation in the 1960s, and the Vashistha Cave. Evening activities can include the Ganga Aarti, a fire ritual on the riverbanks, or a bonfire, depending on the schedule.

Rishikesh Yog Shiksha is run by Yogi Subham Rawat, who grew up in Rishikesh and teaches traditional Hatha yoga, pranayama, and meditation. Amandeep Ji, another instructor, brings a clear, foundational approach. The school focuses on classical methods rather than fitness-style classes, so you'll be learning the traditional postures and breathing techniques.

The location in Tapovan is a bit away from the busiest tourist center, yet close enough to temples and the river. The simple accommodation and shared meals keep the focus on the practice and the sights. This is a retreat for travelers who want structure but also want to experience Rishikesh beyond a yoga studio.
