Abhi Krishna, who grew up in Delhi and now lives in Rishikesh, has built this ten-day retreat to pair classic Indian sightseeing with genuine yoga and wellness. It suits you if you want to see the highlights of the Golden Triangle (Delhi, Agra and Jaipur) without giving up your practice, and then slow down with a quieter, more contemplative finish in the Himalayan foothills. Sessions are designed for all levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners, with clear guidance and a gentle pace. The group is kept small, with a maximum of eight participants, and many guests come alone, so you can travel solo and still feel part of a friendly, supportive group.

Over ten days you move through four cities. In Delhi you explore the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Chandni Chowk, Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar. In Agra you visit Agra Fort and see the Taj Mahal at sunrise. In Jaipur you tour Amber Fort and Palace, City Palace, Jantar Mantar and Hawa Mahal, with an evening of live Rajasthani folk music. The final days are spent in Rishikesh at Aadhya Yogshala, near the Ganges, where you practise on a yoga deck overlooking the river, walk in the Himalayan foothills, visit Laxman Jhula and local temples, and join the Ganga aarti at Triveni Ghat.

Mornings often start with yoga at your hotel, and sightseeing is planned around the practice, so the trip never feels rushed. A typical day begins with yoga or pranayama at 07:00, breakfast at 09:00, then a guided tour or excursion, with time to rest before dinner. Alongside the yoga, you have daily meditation and pranayama sessions, and in Rishikesh an extended yoga and pranayama session and an afternoon set aside for optional trekking, massage or time by the river. The retreat runs in spring, from March to April, when days in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur are warm and Rishikesh is cooler and fresher.

You stay in handpicked 3- and 4-star hotels with twin or king-size beds, private bathrooms, fresh towels and Wi-Fi, each with an on-site restaurant and yoga held on the premises. Breakfast and dinner are served daily, mostly Indian food with vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, and vegan and gluten-free requests are catered for. Your package includes nine nights' accommodation, airport pickup and drop-off at Delhi (DEL), a welcome drink, six yoga sessions, daily meditation and pranayama, group excursions, transport during the retreat, luggage storage, a retreat manual, and support before and after your stay. You can choose a shared twin room for 1000 EUR or a private single room for 1350 EUR. Flights, travel insurance, visa fees, lunch, monument entry tickets and additional treatments are not included.
