GoogleMy solo trip to Rishikesh didn’t feel like a solo journey at all — all thanks to Kailash Yoga Ashram and their wonderfully curated retreat. 🌿✨ From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced by love, peace, and a sense of belonging. The 10-day retreat was thoughtfully planned with such care that every moment felt meaningful and harmonious. I truly got to experience the soul of Rishikesh in the most beautiful way. Rohit ji has a heart of gold — his kindness, warmth and genuine care for every participant made the entire experience feel like being with family. With his incredible team guiding us through the vibrant streets and serene corners of Rishikesh, I soaked in the spirit of the place with complete peace and joy. The retreat was perfectly balanced — from meditation by the sacred Ganga River, soulful Ganga Aarti experiences, gentle treks, mindful yoga sessions that inspired me to go beyond my limits, to joyful shopping and meaningful conversations. Each day brought something beautiful and made my journey feel wholesome and transformative. I met some truly wonderful souls — from fellow participants to the ever-supportive team. Every smile, every moment, every shared experience added to a magical journey that I never expected when I first set foot in Rishikesh. My heartfelt thanks to Rohit ji, and his amazing team — Rohan, Jatin, and Deepak ji — for filling my days with peace, love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. 💛 I went to Rishikesh for a few days… but I left knowing this is definitely not my last time here.
I just got back from Kailash retreat and I feel that I have left something behind that will keep calling me back to this retreat. I feel some kind of shift in me in just a 5 day retreat. The food they serve is satvic, very simple yet very flavorful! There is an excursion planned for everyday that is icing on the cake. And above everything, it’s the main guy, Rohitji who makes sure that your retreat is fulfilling in every aspect. The whole team is very helpful and supportive and they make you feel like home. The yoga and meditation taught by Rohitji and Deepakji is something that I have never experienced before. The whole program including the excursions and food are managed so well and the efforts they put in to make everyone feel comfortable and happy is commendable! This is the one place that I am definitely visiting again in near future! Thank you Rohitji and Deepakji for your support during our visit l! 🙏🏻
One of the best yoga retreats in Rishikesh. Truly a holistic and soul-nourishing experience. I would totally recommend Kailash Ashram to anyone who wants to deeply practice yoga while also exploring the spiritual and natural beauty of Rishikesh. I did a 4-day yoga retreat here and it turned out to be a very surreal experience. The program is thoughtfully designed and holistic, including guided meditation, mindfulness practices, and intense yet grounding yoga asanas and stretches. What made it even more special were the daily excursions. The team plans beautiful hikes and peaceful walks to some hidden, serene locations around the city, which adds so much depth to the experience. The participants come from all over the world, and the environment genuinely feels like a family. Rohit ji and his team welcomed us very warmly and were extremely hospitable throughout the retreat. Rohit ji has a very radiant, calming energy, and his meditation sessions are incredibly peaceful and set a very positive, invigorating tone for the day. The ashram is located in Tapovan, slightly uphill from the main city of Rishikesh, in a beautiful and quiet location. Perfect for disconnecting and self reflection! The delicious satvik food and comfortable accommodation are included in the retreat and are absolutely value for money. Overall, a deeply enriching experience that I’ll always cherish. Highly recommended.
What an amazing experience I had in Kailash Ashram! It was truly life-changing. From the moment I arrived, I felt a deep sense of peace, safety and welcome, as it was my fist time in India as a solo female traveler this was the most important thing for me. The location itself is perfect, on the top of Tapovan where the spiritual energy of Rishikesh happens. The teachings were authentic, grounded and offered with so much wisdom. Whether it was yoga, meditation, or spiritual discourse, everything was shared with genuine care and intention, not just as a practice but as a way of life. Rohit and all the team were incredibly kind, present, and supportive, making each day feel meaningful. The daily rhythm of the ashram created space to slow down, reflect and reconnect with myself. But also I met really nice people from different parts of the world and we had really fun times. They also prepare amazing trips in the afternoon to visit the surrounding, always connected to something meaningful (yoga in the Ganga beach, meditation in the waterfall, local ceremonies, sound healing sessions,…) I highly recommend to stay at least one week to enjoy everything. And best of all, the food was soooo tasty and good, like homemade food made it from grandma. The accomodation is clean, with space, with your own bathroom and with all the necessary things. I will carry this experience with me forever and I know I will return soon. Highly recommended for anyone seeking peace, calm and just something special 😊
Rohit built such a special place with his yoga ashram at the top of the hill in Tapovan! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, and the hosts seemed to have the ability to read our minds and know what we need even though we couldn’t put it into words. The yoga sessions were well led, ensuring everybody was challenged to their level. The guided meditations helped me so much to connect with myself again - something I struggle with in my daily life. Rohit and his team took such good care of us and took us to special places outside the ashram. We were three female travellers and we always felt 100% safe in the environment and for all excursions. I highly recommend this place if you want to disconnect from your busy life, connect with nature and spirituality in a way that never feels forced. Thank you to the whole team!!
