Note
The schedule may vary slightly depending on the phase of the course, weather conditions, or special activities, ensuring a balanced and effective learning experience.
Step beyond the ashram and into the wider Rishikesh landscape - sacred caves, Himalayan sunrises, the Ganga at Triveni Ghat, and the area's older temples. The excursions below are included in the 100-hour course schedule and are arranged in coordination with the ashram's rest days.
Himalayan Sunrise Tour
Set off before dawn and climb to a sacred Himalayan viewpoint to watch the sun rise over the snow peaks - Swarga Rohini, Gangotri, Banderpunch and Chaukhamba glowing gold in the first light. A breathtaking, soul-stirring way to begin the day.
Patna Waterfall
Around 7 km from Lakshman Jhula, Patna Waterfalls sit beside Patna village. The highlight is the limestone cave nestled right next to the falling water.
Jhilmil Cave
Set in Manikut Mountain - 25 km from Rishikesh, 1126 m above sea level. Yogis have meditated here for centuries. Routes pass close to Rajaji National Park with our expert guide.
Vasishtha Cave
Sage Vasishtha - guru of Lord Rama - meditated here 10,000 years ago. You will also visit nearby Jesus Cave, where Jesus is said to have stayed three days during his Rishikesh visit.
Parmarth Niketan
One of the largest ashrams in Rishikesh, Parmarth Niketan hosts the world-famous Ganga Aarti every evening on the banks of the holy river - chanting, fire lamps and deep stillness as the sun sets over the Himalayas.
Ganga Beach Meditation
Sit by the soft white sands of Mother Ganga as gentle waves carry your awareness inward. The teachers guide a special open-air meditation on the riverbank - a deeply healing experience surrounded by the mountains and pure flowing energy.
Kunjapuri Temple
Perched high in the hills around Rishikesh, Kunjapuri Devi Temple is a revered Shakti shrine offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayan range. A peaceful, energetically charged spot to receive the blessings of the Divine Mother.
