INCLUDED IN TOUR PACKAGE | The 2025 Journey to India comprises two tour segments— the Sacred Sap Retreat in Kerala (South India), and the Post Retreat Tour in Varanasi and Jaipur (North India).

We’ll take a few excursions to nearby Shiva and Kali temples and tour the lush Backwaters. The Post Retreat Tour is adventure travel focused. We will tour the Ganges River, ancient temples, and bathing ghats in the old town of Varanasi. We will meet sadhus yogis and reflect on the path of Yoga. Then on to Jaipur and the Rajasthani Desert.
