Your Travel Guidelines
-
Arrival in India
Recommended arrival to India
We recommend that you arrive in India a couple of days before the course begins. This leaves you some time to get acquainted with the culture and have some rest. Earlier arrival offers also a buffer in case of unexpected travel delays or changes.
Best would be to fly to New Delhi or to Dehradun. From either place you can arrange for a taxi transport to Rishikesh either on the day of the course beginning, or earlier if you wish. Please note that you can arrive to the course venue only at the first day of the course (26 September 2027) and not earlier.
Taxi from New Delhli to Rishikesh takes about 6-10 hours, depending on traffic. Taxi from Dehradun to Rishikesh takes about 1 hour. Alternatively, you are welcome to take a train from New Dehli to Haridwar and a 30 minute taxi ride to Rishikesh from there.
Please note that we will offer an online live group briefing for everyone some weeks before the beginning of the retreat.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not make any travel arrangements until you have received a course confirmation email from us. That email will clearly state that you can begin finalizing your travel related bookings.
-
Departure from India
Recommended departure date from India: Earliest 11 October 2027 or later
Please do not plan your departure from India earlier than on 11 October 2027 (the day after the retreat ends). Ideally, we recommend leaving some time after the course for assimilation and integration and possibly stay in Rishikesh or India for some extra days.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Please do not make any travel arrangements until you have received a course confirmation email from us. That email will clearly state that you can begin finalizing your travel related bookings.

India Is Different!
We would like to draw your attention to something very important related to your time in this Tantra Yoga Retreat. Namely, India and Rishikesh are very different places compared to the West.
If this will be your first time in India, you need to come with an open mind and, especially, with an open heart. Everything will be different than what you may have been used to. India is not the West!
You will encounter:
- Very different culture and way of life
- Different economic level and life standards
- Unique cuisine with limited western choices but abundant Indian ones
- The venue is up in the mountains of Rishikesh in the midst of nature. You may encounter local flora and fauna and need to be mature about it.
Your usual level of comfort may be challenged during your stay in the Tantra Yoga Retreat. However, through this you will discover a deep sense of peace in the simplicity of life and surrender to the spiritual quest even more.
-
Group Briefing
With the whole Tantra Yoga Retreat group we will have an online briefing a few weeks before the course to help you plan your local travel within India and to share other valuable information on how to prepare yourself for time in India.
You will also be connecting with your peers via a Telegram group and you are welcome to make joint travel plans.
Topics covered in the briefing:
- Travel to and within India and getting to Rishikesh
- What to bring with you for the course and in order to manage well in India
- Clothing and foot-wear suggestions
- How to go about money and local currency (cash or card)
- Cultural aspect of India and Rishikesh to be considered
- Any other questions and topics that you may want to discuss
Important Note on Force Majeure
In case the conditions of force majeure render it impossible to offer the Trika Meditation Retreat as an in-person physical course at the scheduled time (e.g. due to pandemic related travel restrictions, war, or other unforeseeable world events), we will make effort to reschedule and offer it at a later time.
Depending on the exact situation, we may also consider changing the course format and offer it either partially or fully as an online retreat. In case of force majeure no refunds of your paid fees are offered.
