"Ayurveda at Vihana"
A very warm and friendly feeling.
Everyone I met was very nice and sweet. Felt like they all had worked a lot with themselves.

"A wonderful and restorative experience "
I had such a wonderful time at Vihana Retreat. I arrived in Delhi and was met by a driver, which Sandeep organised for me. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt a very warm welcome. I felt comfortable and relaxed and as if I was at home. Sandeep is a brilliant host, going out of his way to accommodate and help. He also warmly welcomed my son, Dan, who arrived towards the end of my stay.
Yoga instruction was precise and specifically targeted to my needs. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable. I very much enjoyed meditation sessions with Chesta, who is wise beyond her years. We had a beautiful waterfall walk, with some meaningful conversation.
The therapies were so relaxing and provided deep relaxation. Thank you, Rupa. Sandeep made a thorough assessment of my dietary needs and provided delicious and nourishing meals, accordingly. I have left with a better understanding of the foods my body needs to replenish and stay well. Thank you to Hardero, Sandeep and Thalsi also.
The thing that both Dan and I enjoyed most of all was relaxing and chatting to Sandeep and everyone else at Vihana. We really enjoyed getting to know you all and making new friends.
Thank you 🙏

"Wow, what a place, what a feeling "
I loved this place from the moment I awkwardly stepped through the door. A warm welcome by Sandeep and everyone who was sitting at the cafe. The outline of events was loose but structured. Everyone who I engaged with; current visitors, staff and anyone who knew Sandeep and Vihana were wonderful.
Having a health assessment right at the start was great; meals were tailored, should I choose to follow the Ayurvedic suggestion. Treatments were strong and not only were you treated like family, but I was really made to feel so much more. I’m not sure if everyone working there had an extra sense, but wow. Kindness. Compassion. Jokes. Pranks. Food. Relaxation. Heartfelt conversations. Not the most traditional retreat; but one that over flowed my cup like I never knew I needed. We were invited to join in on class at the yoga teaching school, which was a cool insight into more yogic life. Outings and adventures were great; structures and spontaneous. I can’t thank the Vihana family enough for my time

"Great yoga/ayurveda retreat - peaceful and friendly"
Sandeep and team are excellent hosts. Sandeep is the kindest person; always inquiring about our preferences and going the extra mile to make our stay fun and relaxing.
The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming.
The yoga teachers were very knowledgeable and flexible in adjusting the classes to the interests and needs of my friend and me.
The food was varied and delicious. I eat vegan and the kitchen team adjusted to a fully vegan meal for me each day. Thank you!
The Ayurveda treatments were so relaxing and performed in a caring way.

"Highly recommended retreat"
The retreat offers a family atmosphere and a costumized program with regards to yoga, meditation, breath work, excurisons, Ayurveda treatments and meals. There are only a few rooms and the very friendly staff can therefore offer you a very individual und amazing stay at the retreat.
At the retreat you are in close touch with Indian people but also with guests and yoga students from all over the world in Rishikesh. You learn a lot about meditation, yoga und Ayurveda.
Many thanks and all the best to Sandeep and his team!

"The personalised care"
The individual care from staff who are all incredible. The food was delicious and juices, great massage, lots of opportunity to join extended program with yoga school and excursions available if wanted.
The team are like one big family with Sandeep always available and willing to help.

"Wonderful stay at Vihana"
The super friendly welcoming vibe made this retreat stand out for me. Sandeep really assures you feel at home, as part of the family. He takes great care of you, he is super helpful, generous and kind. This greatly added to my experience.
The ayurvedic doctor was very skilled and thorough and I got great advice from him. The ayurvedic treatments were tailored to the consultation and I greatly enjoyed all of them. The food was outstanding, so delicious and Sandeep took great care of my dietary wishes.
As a bonus cherry on the cake, we could participate in any class at Sandeep's yoga school next door. Turns out my favourite teacher Siddhant ji teaches philosophy there. It was a delight!
The yoga classes were of good quality too. And there were plenty of fun excursions. I highly recommend this place!

" A Heartfelt Oasis: My Journey at Vihana Retreat Center"
Choosing Vihana Retreat Center for my solo journey to Rishikesh proved to be a remarkable decision. From the moment I stepped through the front door, I was embraced with genuine warmth by Sandeep and his team, who treated me not as a guest but as family Their attentive care made me feel like I had my own personal concierge, ensuring every need was promptly met, from an adapter for my US plug to laundry drop-off and local shop recommendations.The room's thoughtful essentials and gifts added to the experience. Perfectly located, within walking distance of shops and cafes, and tuk-tuks. Access to the classes at the school across the street was another unexpected bonus. The main floor cafe buzzed with a vibrant energy, fostering connections among guests and students. The tailored daily program, delectable food, and rejuvenating therapies by Rupa were exceptional. The familial bond at Vihana Retreat Center is truly heartwarming. I wholeheartedly recommend booking a stay here to experience the warmth, hospitality, and transformative energy.

"Could not recommend more highly! "
From the minute I arrived I was made to feel welcome, and this has continued even after I have arrived back home! The therapies and classes provided were all exceptional, and the staff... I could not have hoped for better! Best decision to tack those extra days on to the end of my trip to India. I would recommend anyone to spend time at Vihana Retreat!

"The best way to start the new year!"
Everyone was so welcome, so accommodating, and made sure my experience was most than I could have expected. My days were filled with everything I wanted to do and I learned so much about myself through mediation and guidance from the instructors. I cant wait to be back in that little slice of paradise!

"Einzigartige 12 Tage im Vihana Retreat"
Das gebotene Programm war sehr umfassend, wie verschiedene Yoga-Klassen, Massage, Sound healing, und ich durfte zusätzlich die Angebote von Teacher Training, auch Theorieunterricht, nutzen. Außerdem wurde Yoga in der Natur und spannende Ausflüge auch in die Berge angeboten. So konnte ich zweimal begleitet einen Tempel besuchen und viel tiefer in die Kultur eintauchen, da mir sehr viel erklärt wurde.
Sowieso wurde mit jede Frage beantwortet und jeder Wunsch von den Augen abgelesen. Bei allem, was ich benötigte wurde ich unterstützt und alles wurde umgehend organisiert, seien es Medikamente, bestimmte Essenwünsche oder Mitfahrgelegenheiten. Ich fühlte mich excellent beteut und umsorgt. Insbesondere als Alleinreisende hat mich das sehr unterstützt, ich fühle mich sehr sicher und ausgehoben.
Besonders erwähnenswert ist die familäre Atmosphäre und die tolle Stimmung im Retreat. Ich habe sehr viele liebe Menschen kennengelernt, mich sehr gut unterhalten und hoffe, wieder in dieses Retreat zurück kommen zu können. Insgesamt war es ein unbeschreiblich tolles Erlebnis, welches ich nie vergessen werden. An dieser Stelle tausend Dank an Sandeep und sein Team, ihr seid klasse!!!

My friend and I did the yoga & Ayurveda 7-days retreat at Vihana and it was an amazing and enlightening experience!
First of all, we were welcomed by Sandeed who made sure to make us feel at home. He took care of us like family and ensured that everyone in the retreat would feel comfortable and got their needs met. Sandeep did that with care, a constant smile and positive energy. This vibrant energy could reflect on the all group composed of genuine, easy-going and interesting people. I’m so happy I shared this experience with such kind and accessible people.
On top of that, the yoga classes were truly insightful. I surprised myself thanks to the guidance of the great and knowledgeable teachers. I could see my progress throughout the 7 days as they pushed us with the retreat timeline in mind.
One of the great highlight of this experience is also to understand myself better thanks to the Ayurvedic doctor inputs and knowing my dosha. With this knowledge, every delicious meal was prepared for my specific body’s needs, as well as the relaxing Ayurvedic treatments. It is incredible to feel your body changing in such a short time with the right diet and care for your body and mind.
I will also never forget the sunrise at Kunjapuri temple which was a beautiful and powerful moment.
I highly recommend this retreat and I would like to thank everyone again at Vihana retreat for this incredible and unique experience.

"Amazing experience"
This was my first experience of yoga; I was anxious about the vibe and it would not be what I was after however Sandeep and the team made me feel extremely welcomed and included.
The teachers are knowledgeable with a deep understanding of yoga and tailor classes for both beginners and advanced. The breathing classes for me were very beneficial and I can now use the techniques I have learnt at Vihana as tools when at home.
The food was exceptional, after meeting with the ayervedic doctor a meal plan was created for balancing my doshas. Food was fresh, excellent quality and plentiful. I lost a significant amount of weight while on the retreat however was never hungry and had more energy than ever.
In summary, I highly recommend the retreat and am excited for my health journey using the tools and knowledge learnt at the retreat. I have made new friends and plan to visit Rishikesh again in the future, the retreat really does have a family feel.

"Amazing Sound Healing Experience"
From the first day I arrived, Sandeep and Ana were tremendously accommodating. It was incredibly endearing from the start. First, Ana came to pick me up from my hotel to take me to the retreat. They welcomed me like family. Once in my modest room, there were thoughtful gifts laid out on the bed for me!
The classes were kept small on purpose, and some were customized just for me! I didn't know what to expect since I had never taken a sound healing class before, but Ana blew away any expectation I had of a sound healing session. Before and after each session, she asked all the right questions and intuitively knew how to customize for the next session. With each session, I got so much more out of it!
I hurt my foot before coming to this retreat, but in every case, everyone worked with me to accommodate my mobility issue.

I did a 6 nights Ayurveda retreat. Sandeep was an excellent host who customized my stay to all of my wishes. He was very open and flexible for any adjustments I wanted to make and was very helpful. (for example, he would take me to a temple, help organise my next hotel, give me suggestions for places to visit etc.) The food was excellent, fresh and healthy and prepared especially for my needs. I felt well taken care of and felt the stress melt away. His sister was a very competent practitioner of Ayurveda and helped me with the problems I came with. They improved significantly. Her eyes shine with love and kindness, and Sandeep is also very warm, open, and funny. I also had an excellent yoga teacher all to myself who helped me deepen my practice and who adapted the lessons very much to my needs. I could also have taken part in the programme of the yoga teacher training (that's how flexible Sandeep was with everything) but I was too lazy :). The room was clean and well-kept and had everything you need.

"Une expèrience inoubliable ... "
J'ai participé a une retraite ayurvedic de 7 jours au Vihana Retreat d'une part pour trouver des solutions à des problèmes de digestions via l'ayurveda, mais aussi et surtout pour me ressourcer et me trouver d'un point de vue plus spirituel. Je dois dire que le séjour à dépassé mes attentes.
Tout d'abord, Sandeep m'a accueilli comme un membre de la famille, depuis les premiers échanges écrits pour faciliter mon arrivée, jusqu'à mon départ pour lequel nous avons partagé un moment de partage avec toutes les personnes rencontrées ici.
Sandeep à organisé ce séjour avec soin, avec des activités yoga ou meditation à l'extérieur, il a su ajouter / modifier / arranger les activités initiales selon mes besoins et envies, telles que Sound healing, yoga, pranyama, soins ayurvedic quotidiens selon les besoins évoqués avec le médecin...
Le lieu est très convivial et permet de rencontrer beaucoup de gens venu du monde entier qui nous apporte également beaucoup.
Le régime ayurvedic que le medecin a préconisé dès mon arrivée a non seulement porté ses fruits mais n'a pas laissé de sentiment de privation puisque les repas étaient très bons avec les saveurs indiennes et les plats typiques "arrangés" selon le régime préconisé.
J'ai finalement décidé de prolonger mon séjour de 2 jours car je me suis senti vraiment à l'aise au sein de la famille Vihana.
Je recommande vivement ce séjour chez Sandeep.

"An amazing experience that I recommend to everyone!"
My Retreat at Vihana was all I was hoping for and more. Sandeep went above and beyond to create the best experience for me.
Ayurveda doctor gave me some pointers for the diet and therapies that would suit my body and Sandeep made it happen for as long as I was there. The individual meal plan and activity schedule were prepared for me and it was exactly what I needed! The food was delicious and that is a lot coming from me since I don’t eat vegetables and I signed up for a vegetarian retreat! But the food was tasty and not once did I wish to have something I usually eat.
Ayurveda therapies with Shobha were wonderful as were sound healings with Ana. You can tell both work with care and dedication. We had wonderful daily meditation and pranayama sessions at the retreat or in beautiful locations in the surrounding nature. Asana (yoga) classes are suitable for beginners or more advanced yoga practitioners.
Vihana’s common area, yoga room and private rooms were very clean and people working there are nice and caring. I can tell this all comes from Sandeep’s management which puts customer satisfaction first. I felt like I’m with family and still contemplate our conversations at lunch and dinners.
My experience was beyond my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone who needs a pause from the daily routine. Thank you, Sandeep, Ana, Shobha and all my teachers and the rest of the team for making my experience amazing and I can’t wait to come back!

"Best Decision of My Life"
Taking this retreat program was the best decision of my life. From the anxiety at the beginning to so many unforgettable days that I was loath to part with it at the end, proved that this place means a lot to me. The original eight-day was extended to eleven-days, because it put me in a home, and I was reluctant to leave.
Sandeep takes care of me like family. From my yoga sessions to the content of my diet, there was no snub. In this retreat program, I almost feel like I am in a big family. Everyone is happy to share every day, and it is really warm to sit and eat together. My sound healing teacher, Ana, is also my friend who keeps laughing with me and even got injured when we dancing together ^_^The retreat program of other teachers are also quite professional, and I really benefited a lot. I really like this place very much, and I am very grateful to Sandeep and the team for giving me love. I will be definitely back to see you all!

"First visit in Rishikesh and the best experience we had!!! "
This was our first visit in Rishikesh and we had the best experience. We did the Panchkara treatment and got all the ayurvedic massages and it was very relaxing. Food was served for our body type and we felt very light after eating the food. There was a regular yoga and other meditation classes including sound healing. The owner Sandeep arranged for River side yoga, water fall and visit to Parmarth Niketan. The staff was very friendly and they prepared our food very quickly. Next time I would come and stay for longer time.

"Vihana Retreat is the BEST!"
Vihana Retreat is the best retreat program to unplug and rejuvenate. At Vihana, I was a member of Vihana family, and not a guest. The inclusive environment at Vihana helped me relax, and not worry about anything.
From airport pickup to drop off every aspect of my retreat program was very well planned and executed.
Sandeep Semwal motto is "Anyone who comes to Vihana will reach her/his goal and leave healthy and happy." Sandeep leaves no stone unturned toward his motto. Sandeep was attentive to details, and he was 100% focused on executing very step of my retreat program.
My program started with my medical evaluation with Dr. Mahesh. Dr. Mahesh gives his advice on diet, ayurvedic treatment plan, medication & pranayama, restorative yoga, and energy alignment and healing procedures.
Vihana provides a clean and relaxing environment for the retreat, and the Mamma Mia Cafe within Vihana provides an super engaging environment to relax, read, play guitar, and chat with friends.
Honestly, words are not enough to explain my experience at Vihana. My guru's and guruni at Vihana are authentic and very knowledgeable. Vihana is an all inclusive, super humble, and loving environment that made me feel like part of a family focused on helping me reach my physical, mental, and spiritual development goals.
I will carry the Vihana experience in my heart forever. Truly an amazing place filled with super amazing people.
Kudos to Sandeep & Vihana Team.
Thank you,

"Amazing retreat where you are made to feel at home"
Sandeep ji is so welcoming and such a genuine, lovely person. He cares for everyone that comes to Vihana and he looks after you like you're family. I was traveling by myself and so to have this connection and care was incredible.
Sandeep ji is also more than happy to organise whatever additional things that people wanted. He also put up with my constant complaining about wanting ice cream and chocolate cake (which I wasn't meant to have with my Ayurvedic diet). Additional activities included organising two sessions with Sonu ji. If you get the opportunity, I would highly recommend. He is excellent, listens and gives exercises that help you with what you need in a way that ensures you are performing the posture correctly.
Rupa ji gives some of the best massages I have ever had. She is also a delight. Always smiling, cares a lot and is so lovely.
The food at Vihana is also incredible. A massive thank you to the whole team at Vihana for making me feel at home and treating me so well.

"Experience of a lifetime! Everything I needed"
I cannot recommend this place enough. The Ayurvedic treatments were perfect, and the opportunity to work with the Ayurvedic doctor was so cool. The diet worked perfectly. I’ve had gut and back pain problems for years, gone to so many doctors, and this is the first thing that’s helped. The 1 on 1 meditation and yoga classes were so special, I’ve never had anything like it. To work with people who were so wise, so kind, and willing to work with me where I am. They are so knowledgeable about spirituality and life in general, and getting to talk to them was a privilege. Sandeep and everyone here treated me like family from the first moment I stepped in, and every day was perfect. He went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of my stay was exactly how I wanted it, and I’m so grateful for all he did. I really can’t give enough praise, the location was ideal, quiet, and the environment is so peaceful and friendly. I’ll definitely be back here! Thank you so much!!

"Amazing stay at Vihana retreat "
The owner Sandeep took really good care of us, we got amazing food each day. Depending on your personal needs you receive an adapted schedule with daily yoga, meditation and joint movements classes. Also outdoors activities were planned like a sunrise temple visit, waterfall tour, meditation at the Ganga river. If your looking for a retreat in Rishikesh this is the place to go.

"Fantastic 5*+++"
I had the most amazing time at Vihana Retreat. Sandeep and his team were outstanding. From the minute I arrived I was looked after. Especially Sandeep was going out of his way to make my stay a memorable one. Nothing is too much trouble and I cannot recommend Vihana Retreat highly enough. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to stay longer.

"Excellent service with personal touch at great value"
Throughout the entire trip, Sandeep ji and the crew at Vihana Retreat provided top-notch personalised and an excellent curated experience. I felt completely at home right from the start and was warmly welcomed by Sandeep ji and the team. They provided everything that I needed and more with a lot of thought, preparation and more importantly it all came with a lot of love and care. Every meal was carefully prepared according to the ayurveda doctor's instructions and the treatments were excellent. It was a truly rejuvenating experience for me. Sandeep ji and his team were always at hand to arrange and provide whatever service, assistance, tips and advice that I needed during my stay. What I valued and appreciated the most was that I was always treated as part of the family at Vihana Retreat. This was my first trip to India and Sandeep ji and team made it a truly memorable and unforgettable experience that continues to warm my heart to this day.

We are so glad we booked this place - not only because their program is exceptional but also because the host and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. I recommend Vihana Retreat 100%.

"Amazing Retreat for changing perspectives & getting relaxed"
After a great pickup at the airport I felt directly welcomed in the familiy. The people at Vihana Retreat are so open-minded and caring that you‘ll immediately start to feel relaxed. Also the rooms are nice and very clean with AC, an own bathroom and a water boiler. The house is located at the border of Rishikesh so that you easily can reach shops by walk and also are in the nature at beautiful waterfalls or the Ganga river very quick.
The Yoga classes and teachers are amazing! I learned so much! They also give you a lot of advice, how you can keep practacing at home and they offered to stay in touch for any question - because you‘re part of the family now.
Especially the ayurvedic doctor had a great supervision on your stress and anxiety level. He first checked the body type and afterwards all food was prepared accordingly - by a great chief! Furthermore, I got a lot of ayurvedic treatments which were very releasing. All in all I got so calm and I am fascinated by all these techniques. It helped me so much to explore a new healthier way to get along with stress back home.
Apart of the classes I had also freetime to explore the area or to just relax. The trips like Rafting on the Ganga river, visiting a temple or having breakfast at a waterfall were amazing. We also learned how to cook our favourite Indian ayurvedic meals, so we can keep doing them at home - they really put a lot of effort in giving us the knowledge to stick to the healthy way of living at home.
