← All Dharamsala retreatsAbout this selection
McLeod Ganj — "Little Lhasa" — is the most concentrated centre of Tibetan Buddhist culture outside Tibet. Monasteries, thangka painters, and Himalayan trekking. Hatha yoga in McLeod Ganj offers a return to fundamentals — classical postures held with intention, pranayama, and the time to understand each asana from the inside. The teachers here carry lineages that trace back generations. Seven days is the most popular retreat length in McLeod Ganj for good reason — it's enough time to develop a real practice routine, experience the local culture and environment, and return home with something that lasts. The first two days are arrival and settling; the final two are integration. April is one of McLeod Ganj's best months for retreat — Himachal Pradesh's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in April tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
