The Complete Guide to Yoga Retreats in Rishikesh

The yoga tradition of Rishikesh is not a trend — it is a living lineage passed from guru to student for thousands of years along these riverbanks.

The city earned its title of Yoga Capital of the World not through marketing, but through the authenticity of its teachers, many of whom have practised here for decades.

At Evara Trips, we partner with three renowned teachers who hold sessions on our riverside deck at dawn, when the mist rises off the Ganges and the mountains catch the first light of day. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful places on earth to begin a practice.

For beginners, a residential retreat of at least seven days is recommended — long enough to establish a morning practice, experience satsang, and feel the rhythm of the ashram day.
