Himalayan Yoga and Trekking Wellness Escape in Dayara Bugyal

The retreat is based in Raithal, a 500-year-old village that feels a world away from the bustle of Rishikesh. You'll spend most nights in a traditional Garhwali homestay, where rooms are simple but comfortable, and meals are cooked by a local family using organic produce from nearby farms. The schedule balances physical challenge with rest: mornings begin with pranayama and asana practice, afternoons are for acclimatisation walks or free time, and evenings wind down with restorative yoga and early nights. The trek itself is the heart of the experience—a gradual ascent to Dayara Bugyal, a meadow that locals call a 'summer pasture' but which feels like a high-altitude ocean of grass and wildflowers, surrounded by snow peaks. Your guides are Ashu Kandari, a certified NIM mountaineer with nine years of experience, and Noemie, a Yoga Alliance instructor (RYT 200) trained in Vinyasa flow, Restorative, and Yin yoga. They calibrate the pace to the group, so beginners and seasoned practitioners alike are challenged and supported. The retreat is run by NoeiOm, a small Norwegian-based company that operates retreats across several countries, and this one is carefully designed to immerse you in both the practice and the place.
