Make a trip of it
Around your stay at Modi Yoga Retreat
The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Rishikesh, placed by when to take each — so a day out never lands on the wrong day of a treatment course.
Before you begin
Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh
Extra stay · 2 nights
Delhi, at the start
Old Delhi, the Lodi tombs and a night’s sleep before the domestic hop. Fights jetlag and the Dehradun weather risk at once.
Culture · Half day
Haridwar and Har Ki Pauri
An hour downstream and several centuries older in feel — a pilgrimage town with none of Rishikesh’s yoga-school economy.
During the stay
Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon
Your stay at Modi Yoga Retreat · 3, 5, 7 or 14+ nights, by programmeCulture · Half day
The Beatles Ashram
Chaurasi Kutia, where the White Album was largely written in 1968 — now a ruin inside Rajaji reserve with a small entrance fee and a great deal of graffiti art. Melancholy and worth it.
Active · Half day, early
Kunjapuri at sunrise
A short steep temple climb for the Himalayan range at first light — Bandarpunch, Gangotri, Chaukhamba. Leave at 04:30. Not compatible with a 05:30 practice start, so take it on a rest day.
Culture · 90 minutes, at dusk
Ganga Aarti at Parmarth Niketan
The riverbank fire ceremony, every evening, free and unticketed. Go on your first night rather than your last — it sets the register for everything after it.
After you finish
The reward, once the treatment is done
Extra stay · 4 nights
Corbett & the Kumaon hills
India’s oldest national park and then the quiet ridge villages above it. The correct decompression after a month of teacher training.
Extra stay · 2 nights
Amritsar & the Golden Temple
An overnight train or a short flight west. The langar kitchen feeds 50,000 people a day and it is the most moving hour in north India.
Active · Half day
White water on the Ganga
September to November and March to May, when the river is running. Excellent, cold, and firmly incompatible with any oil-therapy week — book it either side.
