Venture into a landscape shaped by devotion and discovery. Practice Kundalini Yoga in breathtaking mountain settings, finding strength and clarity in the tranquility of nature.
Follow ancient trails, walking in the footsteps of monks and pilgrims to remote monasteries, hidden meditation sites, and sacred rivers that have inspired seekers for centuries. Along the way, engage in group reflections and ancient teachings, drawing wisdom from traditions that have flourished in these lands.
This is more than a journey — it is a deep immersion in community amidst the silence, stories, and energy of revered sites.
