You will be accommodated at Rishikesh Valley Resort. To let you bond with nature like the ancient sadhus, they offer you hermit-styled cottages. Each cottage is designed to be elegant yet simple, and Rishikesh Valley Resort is also constructed with jungle grass, wood, mud, clay, and other natural elements to offer a completely natural feel. The huts are situated at measured distances for privacy and are interspersed with sprinklings of Himalayan foliage to lend them the charm of living in the wild. With the proximity of the small river stream, one can even hear the gentle murmurings of its water as one dozes off to sleep.
Program
Get close and involve yourself in yoga and meditation. The essence of nature cannot be expressed. It can only be experienced by living amid nature and in the way nature intended. This retreat serves guests in family and village environments and, at the same time, to be part of self-discovery and take it home with yourself. During this retreat, you will have daily yoga, pranayama, and sitting meditation Ayurveda practices.
