Meet the group and settle in

Pack your bags and stay ready to leave for a scenic drive to Rishikesh from Delhi in the morning, which can take between 5-6 hours. Rishikesh is one of the most popular yoga cities in the world - it's said the exquisite setting on the fast-flowing Ganges River, surrounded by forested hills, is conducive to meditation and mind expansion. Upon your arrival, complete the check in formalities at the ashram. You can then enjoy a relaxing evening there.
