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!

Early bird price £2075

Extended early bird: Offer valid if you pay and book your tickets by 6pm on 18 April, 2023 (Prices subject to change thereafter based on flights)

How do I register and pay?

Please fill out the sign up form. Once you’ve registered we’ll get in touch with you and take it from there. Payment will be by secure bank transfer.

Interest-free installment option (Only available till 15 June)

If you don’t want me to hassle you every now and then, you can choose to pay everything in one go and get it over and done with. But if you’re really saving up for Elon Musk’s promised holiday on the moon in 2050, you can choose to pay in interest free installments.

  • First installment when you book – £1100 (We’ll book your flights, internal travel and deposit for hotels so you don’t have to travel on an ox-cart . Tickets booked will be flexible so you’ll be able to change and cancel at a price. Deposit for hotels is non refundable).
  • Second installment by 15 June – £975 for early bird, or remaining price thereafter

No installment option available after 15 June. You’ll need to make full payment after this to book your spot

P.S. If you are struggling with money and would still like to go on the trip, we can discuss further installment options during our call.

Refund policy

If due to unforeseen circumstances you need to cancel your trip, please get in touch with us as soon as you can. We may be able to offer you more of a refund than stated below. It all depends on the payments we’ve already made towards hotels, flights and other facilities. Your flights will also be flexible which means for a free, you can modify/cancel them. We’re happy to hand these over to should you change your mind. However, in general, these are your refund options:

  • If you cancel before 28 May, you will be refunded 50% of your initial deposit
  • If you cancel before 28 August, you will be refunded 25% of the total deposit
  • If you cancel after 28 August, we won’t be able to give you a refund as we would have made all payments in full

What is Krishna Wisdom?

Krishna Wisdom is a spiritual initiative based at Bhaktivedanta Manor, working in collaboration with School of Bhakti that is aimed at providing spiritual wisdom to seekers of spirituality and philosophy.

We believe that ‘Change begins within’ and hence, an inner transformation precedes universal betterment.

Our aim is to provide knowledge and wisdom of spiritual matters through events, music, courses and most of all – love and spiritual friendship.
