What Travelers Say
This was the perfect India trip. Four days of yoga changed my relationship with stress, then the Chandrashila summit was the physical equivalent. Junegiri planned every detail perfectly.
I'm a yoga teacher and this package exceeded my expectations. The Rishikesh instructors were world-class. The Chopta meadows at dawn are incomparable.
The cooking class was an unexpected highlight — I'm now making dal back home every week. The summit views were worth every step.
