About this selection

Rishikesh is the world's yoga capital — where the Ganges meets the Himalayas, and where yoga lineages trace back centuries. Every serious practitioner comes here eventually. Ayurveda in Rishikesh is not the spa-Ayurveda of European wellness hotels. The practitioners here follow clinical protocols: pulse diagnosis, constitution assessment, and treatment programmes designed around your specific needs. May falls outside Rishikesh's peak yoga season, which runs February, March, April. That said, retreats run year-round and the off-season offers genuine advantages: lower prices, smaller groups, and a quieter environment that some practitioners actively prefer. The practice itself is unchanged.
