7 Days | Rishikesh · Haridwar · Bodh Gaya · Varanasi | From $700 per person
India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism — one of the world's most profoundly spiritual destinations. This 7-day journey follows India's most sacred pilgrimage routes, visiting places that have drawn seekers of meaning and enlightenment for thousands of years.
Begin in Rishikesh — the "Yoga Capital of the World" — where the Ganges flows clear and cold from the Himalayas. Visit the Ganga Aarti at Haridwar, one of India's holiest riverside ceremonies. Sit in meditation beneath the Bodhi Tree at Bodh Gaya, where the Buddha attained enlightenment 2,500 years ago. And end in Varanasi — one of the world's oldest living cities — where every dawn on the Ganges is a profound spiritual experience.
This tour is open to travellers of all faiths and none. No prior spiritual practice is required — only an open mind and a willing heart.
