Wellness & Heritage Retreat in Varanasi

This isn't just a yoga retreat dropped into a random location; the entire program is organized around Varanasi's unique atmosphere. Your host, KV Singh, comes from a family with a long history of hospitality and has spent over 30 years practicing classical yoga and meditation. He and his team handle everything — from airport transfers to dinner reservations — so you're free to focus on the experience. The itinerary includes visits to Sarnath, the site where Lord Buddha is said to have given his first sermon, which holds a profound significance for anyone interested in Buddhist history. Beyond the spiritual landmarks, a day includes walks through the narrow lanes of the old town, where shops are stocked with silk and handicrafts, and a visit to a weavers' village to see hand-knotted carpets being made. With an air-conditioned car and driver at your disposal, you get a structured yet flexible way to see the city and its surroundings.
