Ready for a spiritual adventure?

Be part of the Mystic India club! Every year, we take you to India on a new journey where you will experience the cultural and spiritual roots of some of the oldest traditions in the world. We don’t go to the usual touristy places, but rather on the real adventure off the beaten track so you can see India inside out. The trip is fun with a healthy balance of experiences, luxury and adventure. You’ll stay in 3-5 star hotels at night, but during the day we’ll go all out on some breath-taking experiences.

The trip is led by Radha Govinda, who was a monk for over 11 years, and his wife Kishori who is a teacher in Bhakti as well as yoga. The trips always feature yoga, meditation and kirtan along the way and with an amazing group every year, it’s always an adventure!

Places we’re visiting

This itinerary includes yoga and meditation sessions in the morning and wisdom and kirtan sessions in the evening where travel allows. The entire trip is a spiritual experience, not just a sight-seeing tour. The places we’re travelling to this year are:

Udupi

Our first destination is Udupi, where we’ll recuperate and spend another 2 days at the famous Udupi Krishna temple, and throw in a beach or two of swimming, relaxing and enjoying our time at the resort.

Coorg:

Known as the Scotland of India (only much warmer), Coorg is situated in the midst of the Western Ghats and is the home of coffee plantations and birthplace of rivers. We’ll visit a few places here and also bathe with elephants! This is also our yoga retreat.

Mysore:

This is a land of kings, palaces and adventure. We’ll visit the amazing Mysore palace, and celebrate Diwali here. We’ll also visit some mystical temples, and climb up hills.

An extra special experience at an Elephant reserve in Coorg! (Special gift from us – included in your price)

This trip, we’ll head off to the Dubare elephant reserve. There are quite a few protected elephants here by the forest department of India, and you get the opportunity to feed them and see them quite up close – maybe even bathe them! The camp itself is situated on the banks of the Kaveri river and the forest it’s situated in is home to many animals like the spotted deer, sambhar, tigers, leopards, wild dogs and gaur.

Along the way, we’ll also take part in morning yoga sessions and evening meditation and kirtan sessions when possible. We want to make this trip a spiritual experience that you’ll remember!
