Are you looking for a transformative journey, far from conventional tourism?
We invite you to a unique experience in Northern India, where Yoga, Tibetan Buddhism, and the majestic nature of the Himalayas come together to offer a path of self-discovery.

This journey is not a pre-designed tourist package.
Here, you will be invited to make decisions, step out of your comfort zone, and open yourself to the unexpected.
We are not a conventional travel agency: our intention is for you to explore both the outer world and your inner world.
A coordinator will travel with the group from Spain to Delhi on August 1st.
Other travelers may choose to arrive independently in the Indian capital.
We will meet on August 2nd at 12:00 pm at our hotel in Delhi.

After 13 days of travel, we will settle in the village of Hemissupachen, located between Lamayuru and Leh.
Here we will hold a 3-day retreat, with deep daily practices, philosophical talks, and treks of 2 to 4 hours that bring us face to face with the grandeur of the Himalayas.
We will also visit monasteries such as Alchi and Likir, as well as the village of Lamayuru.
On August 18th, we will fly from Leh to Delhi.
