11 yoga retreats
Rishikesh sits in the Himalayan foothills of Uttarakhand and is widely regarded as the birthplace of yoga, so a yoga retreat in Rishikesh tends to feel rooted in tradition rather than packaged for holiday. Most days start with practice in the morning: yoga, pranayama and meditation, with afternoons left for rest, walks, workshops or further sessions depending on the programme.
The 11 retreats on this page range from a 3-day wellness break in Mohan Chatti to a 28-day immersion in Tapovan, with several 7-day options in between. Styles include classical Hatha, Yin and Restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra and chakra-based practice, often alongside Ayurveda, Shatkarma cleansing or sound healing. Some programmes add something different: Himalayan hiking from an ashram a short walk from the Ganges, yantra painting, kirtan and sacred rituals in Rishikesh and Haridwar, or a 12-day tour following the Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage circuit through Barkot, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi and Joshimath.
Shorter stays suit you if you want a gentle introduction or a reset between commitments. The 14, 21 and 28-day immersions are built in phases, giving you time to deepen your practice in a way a single week cannot. If the spiritual side of yoga draws you, the pilgrimage-style programmes bring Rishikesh's sacred sites into the experience.
Prices on this page start from 350 USD for a shared room on the 3-day retreat and reach 4,499 EUR for the 28-day immersion in a private room. Most retreats offer private rooms, a couple offer shared rooms, and one can be booked without accommodation.
The retreats on this page run from 3 days to 28 days. There are several 7-day programmes, as well as 8, 10, 12, 14 and 21-day options. The longer immersions are structured in phases, so each week builds on the one before.
Prices start from 350 USD for a shared AC balcony room on the 3-day retreat and go up to 4,499 EUR for the 28-day immersion in a private room. Some retreats are priced in USD and others in EUR, so it is worth comparing carefully. Several 7-day options sit between 499 USD and 1,399 EUR.
Several retreats are in Tapovan or Upper Tapovan, one is in Mohan Chatti in the Himalayan foothills, and one opens at a small ashram a short walk from the Ganges. The 8-day pilgrimage covers both Rishikesh and Haridwar, and the 12-day tour begins in Rishikesh before travelling through Barkot, Uttarkashi, Guptkashi and Joshimath.
It varies by programme. Classical Hatha appears in many of them, with Yin and Restorative sessions, Yoga Nidra and chakra-focused yoga also on offer. Pranayama and meditation are part of almost every retreat on this page.
Most programmes centre the morning on practice, such as yoga followed by meditation and pranayama, or a pranayama and meditation session before yoga. At Siddharya Wellness, afternoons are generally free with optional nature walks. The 7-day wellness escape pairs Hatha in the mornings with Yin or Restorative in the afternoons and breath-based meditation in the evenings.
Most retreats on this page offer private rooms. The 3-day Mohan Chatti retreat and the 8-day Roots of Yoga pilgrimage also offer shared rooms at a lower price. The 7-day chakra retreat at Damini Sargam can be booked without accommodation from 650 USD.
Many do. Depending on the programme, you might find Ayurveda, a traditional Havan fire ceremony, Shatkarma cleansing practices, Himalayan hiking, kirtan and sacred rituals, yantra painting or sound healing. The 12-day tour is built around the Char Dham Yatra pilgrimage circuit.
Some listings name their teachers. The 3-day retreat is hosted by Gurudev Dhruvaji, who has been teaching for three decades, the 14-day immersion is at Amantrhit, run by founder Aman Saini, and the 8-day pilgrimage is guided by senior teacher Dr. India Williams.
