Day retreats at Aavya
Come up for a few hours. Sweat, make something, eat well, go home lighter.
Pick a day, add what you like, send it to us on WhatsApp.
A day retreat at Aavya is a few hours, or a whole day, in the forest above Upper Tapovan — no stay needed. It suits travellers with a day in Rishikesh, friends and couples looking for things to do beyond rafting, and anyone who wants to slow down without booking a room. Choose the Tapas sauna and ice bath circuit (from ₹1,200), a guided pottery session (₹1,500), a massage at the spa, sound healing or a movement class, then eat at the café. Most people stay two to six hours; the Sauna & Spa Half-Day runs from ₹4,499. You can also add a cooking class, Reiki training or a nearby excursion. Prices are per person, with 5% GST additional.
