← All Rishikesh retreatsAbout this selection
Tapovan is Rishikesh's most spiritual neighbourhood — home to dozens of ashrams, evening aarti on the Ganges, and the deepest concentration of traditional yoga teachers. Tapovan has a strong Ashtanga lineage. The Mysore-style morning practice, the self-paced approach, and the direct teacher-student relationship of this tradition suit the retreat culture here particularly well. April is one of Tapovan's best months for retreat — Uttarakhand'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.
