Spiritual and wellness retreats
Soothing your soul
Celebrated over the ages as a centre for religious philosophy and spiritualism, India is renowned for its alternative therapies. For those in search of spiritual meaning or simply looking to combine some revitalising treatments for body and soul with a sightseeing holiday, India is the ideal place to be. Meditation, yoga and ayurveda offer an escape from the stresses of daily life for body, mind and spirit.
Most Indian cities have reputable centres where guests can enjoy the benefits of meditation and yoga, as well as ayurveda, an ancient science based on herbal medicine and holistic healing. Private centres ranging from simple spas to luxurious health institutes offer a range of alternative therapies. Massages and body treatments can be enjoyed in a variety of breathtaking natural settings, from the golden beaches of Goa to the craggy peaks of the Himalayas.
The holy Ganges River is of great significance in Hinduism and a number of great spiritual cities are found along its banks. From the yoga capital of Rishikesh to the famous ghats of Varanasi, pilgrims in search of spiritual awareness throng to the river’s water. In spite of the invariably present crowds, the holy sites of Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism often produce a profound and deeply moving effect on visitors. The daily prayers and rituals are often filled with colourful ceremony that creates an exceptional spectacle for onlookers.
