Mystic India & Nepal 2025
Explore the heart of India and the mystique of Nepal
Get ready for an unforgettable journey! We are thrilled to invite you on an enchanting adventure through some of the most vibrant and culturally rich destinations in South Asia. Our trip begins in the bustling streets of Delhi, where history meets modern charm. Next, immerse yourself in the royal grandeur of Jaipur, the Pink City, where majestic forts and colourful markets await along with some royal temples. From there, we’ll head to the sacred city of Vrindavan, the birthplace of Krishna, filled with spiritual energy and ancient temples and have a day trip to see the Taj Mahal. Finally, we’ll head to Nepal, the land of serene mountains, vibrant culture, and spiritual enlightenment.
Whether you seek history, spirituality, or nature, this journey promises an experience like no other. The trip is fun with a healthy balance of experiences, luxury and adventure. You’ll stay in 3-4 star hotels at night, but during the day we’ll go all out on some breath-taking experiences off the beaten track.
Join us on this magical trip – a perfect blend of heritage, adventure, and tranquillity! The trip is led by Radha Govinda, who was a monk for over 10 years. The trips always feature yoga, meditation and kirtan along the way and with an amazing group every year, it’s always an adventure!
