Pilgrimage retreat to Himalayan mountains

"To the sources of the Ganges" (Rishikesh – Gangotri – Gomukh - Harkidun -Haridwar)

The Himalayas attracted me long before I started practicing yoga. When I first found myself there by the banks of the Ganges, among the majestic mountains, yogic ashrams and mysterious caves, I felt so familiar in everything around me.
Since then, I have been coming to these holy places again and again, where I dissolve into the divine spirit, performing my yoga sadhana.

Unlock the Mystical Side of Yoga in the Majestic Himalayas

The allure of the Himalayas extends beyond breathtaking landscapes; it beckons those seeking a spiritual odyssey. Join me on a transformative pilgrimage to the heart of the Himalayas, where we will explore the mystical facets of our yoga practice in sacred locales.

Why the Himalayas?

The Himalayas have been a source of inspiration long before my yoga journey began. Nestled by the Ganges, amid towering mountains, yogic ashrams, and enigmatic caves, I felt an inexplicable connection. Now, I invite you to experience the magic of these holy grounds, where I have immersed myself in divine spirit through yoga sadhana.

Gangotri is a place where hermit yogis have lived for centuries, where you can drink water from the Ganges with your lips, where one of the 4 main shrines of Northern India, the Gangotri Temple, is located.


Gomukh is the source of the Ganges itself, to which we will have a 19–kilometer ascent under the guidance of an experienced guide with the necessary equipment.


There is only the sparkling purity of glaciers and total connection with the forces of nature (altitude 3800 meters above sea level)

Harkidun– the Valley of the Gods, is another gem in the Himalayas that we will see. Located in the Garhwal region (Uttarakhand) at an altitude of 3,566 meters above sea level, this cradle-shaped valley is decorated with snow-capped peaks and alpine vegetation. From here you can enjoy a wonderful panoramic view of the lush flora, azure sky, cascades of streams, snow-capped mountains, glacial pools, a myriad of fauna, unique wooden architecture and quaint authentic villages.

Haridwar is considered one of the oldest cities in the world, mentioned in ancient Hindu scriptures and epics. It is one of the seven sacred cities of India and one of the four venues of the Kumbha Mela (the main Hindu festival) every 12 years, thereby being the largest gathering of people in the world. In 2010, this holiday attracted 50 million pilgrims. A temple city, an ashram city, a city where sadhus live in saffron–colored robes as a symbol of renunciation of worldly pleasures.
