See and experience India they way few people ever do. Come with David and Soni to the home and heart  of yoga in Rishikesh, India. Rishikesh is in the foothills of the Himalays with jungle on one side and the Gange river on the other. Where else would you like to spend spring after a winter in Boston? We will stay in the amazing Parmarth Niketam ashram right on the Gange  in simple (but clean and safe) rooms. We'll have delicious vegetarian meals plus lots of yoga, ayurvedic treatments, sightseeing and more will be included.

We begin our trip with 2 days in Delhi, staying in Old Delhi by the ancient Chandni Chowk market, a centuries old center of of shopping filled with narrow streets and merchandise of every description. We will visit the Red Fort and a Jain temple and  an optional side trip to see the Taj Mahal in Agra can be arranged for a few extra dollars.

On Wednesday we leave for Rishikesh in the Himalayan foothills and stay in one of the most peaceful towns in the world. The trip will then focus on Ayurvedic healing, including 7 days of Panchakarma - the most amazing treatment you will ever have. We absolutely fell in love with it. Every day for 7 days you will receive a 60 - 75 minute sesame oil massage, special treatments for your skin, ears, eyes, nose etc. perscribed by the Ayurvedic Doctor, and a steam bath to cleanse you inside and out. You will feel (and look) years younger; with energy and vitality you forgot you had. Ask us about Shirodhara!

We will also have the opportunity to practice yoga every day, see wonderful sights in and around Rishikesh, explore towns along the Ganga, go river rafting in the Gange, sing in the evening by the Ganga as part of the nightly Aarti ceremony, and mingle with yogis from around the world. And yes, there will be shopping too. There is plenty to see and do in Rishikesh, Lakshman Jhula and the area.

At the end of the trip we will spend 2 days in Delhi seeing more of the sights there. The land cost will be $1,750, which includes all rooms (double occupancy), most meals, sight-seeing trips and all ground transportation. A $300 non-refundable deposit will be required. You are responsible for your own airfare, details will be provided.
