We loved our sunrise treck up to Kunjapuri Temple where we could see the Himalayas in the distance - a special memory we'll cherish always.
The food was brilliant - the most wonderful team curating varied meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All delicious! We wish we had time to have taken the cooking class!
Grateful for all the recommendations of where to go and helping us with travel to our next destination.
A wonderful place to stay in a beautiful area of Rishikesh!
Everything unfolded gently — unhurried, intentional, and deeply grounding. From time by the Ganga to sharing space with people who showed up fully, it felt like a quiet reset.
The team is incredibly supportive meeting you with warmth at every step and I promise you the view is worth the climb . Thoughtful sessions of deep inner work , meditations, yummy nourishing food, healing touch, yoga, treks, pottery and painting and moments of simply being. The retreat was beautifully curated with intention and love. Sufi nights , bon fires , dancing , laughter that still echoes , the space holds magic.
Aavya gave me the chance to breathe, slow down, and reconnect with myself. Grateful for the experience, the people, and the stillness I’m carrying back. 💛
