Overview
What better place to begin your exploration of “The Great Himalayas” than in one of India’s holiest cities, Rishikesh, also known as the “Yoga Capital of the World,” a town known for its temples and its centuries-long tradition of drawing people who want to meditate in search of higher knowledge and the truth. Following the customary Hindu Aarti Sunset ceremony, a very spiritual experience, at Rishikesh on the banks of the revered Ganges, you head off on an extended exploration adventure to learn about the finest of the Himalayas.
Additionally, from your home base at Shikhar Nature Resort in Uttarkashi, on the bank of the Bhagirathi River, you can explore Nehru Institute of Mountaineering, Uttarakhand’s first rural development project at Agoda Village, which entails trekking, cultural exchange with locals, meeting locals in their homes and cooking and eating with them, as well as an immense sense of satisfaction from doing your part by participating in a cleanliness drive in the Himalayas
