An Ultimate Guide For Yoga Tours To Rishikesh

Posted by Sanju k on November 18th, 2016

Anyone currently planning a yoga tour to Rishikesh is going to have questions, particularly if it’s their first time travelling to India. How should you prepare for your journey? How much money will you need? When is the best time to visit? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you to prepare to the best of your ability and ensure that you have an enjoyable experience.

How should you prepare for the tour?

There are a number of things that you can do to prepare for the tour, but the most important are to know what you want (which is what yoga is all about), listen to the omens (there are no accidents) and have a flexible plan (have an idea of what you would like to do but be open to changing at any time).

What should you consider to make the most of the experience?

Likewise, there are a number of things you should keep in mind to ensure that the experience is enjoyable – be open to enjoying and learning from the experience, consider completing a teacher’s training course (so that you fully immerse yourself), and be willing to pay the price.

When is the best time to visit India?

Whilst there is generally something to do year round, we recommend avoiding May through to September. Avoid June, July and August in particular as this is monsoon season (the north can get very hot and the south can experience pouring rain). Some of the ashrams may have limited programs at this time.

How much money do you need?

The answer to this question will depend on where you want to stay, how much you intend to travel, how you travel, what you do and what kind of food you eat. Yoga tours to Rishikesh do tend to be a little cheaper than other places. As an idea, expect to spend between AUD0 and AUD0 per month.

Does it matter if you don’t have any yoga experience?

It doesn’t really matter what level you’re at, you will learn whatever you need to learn whilst on the tour. If you’re feeling shy, however, and want to take it easy on the physical practice, we recommend a very gentle form of hatha yoga – this is great for beginners but also great for meditation and serious sadhakas.

How can you stay in India for a long time?

The maximum length of a tourist visa is normally 6 months, but it all depends on your nationality and which country you’re making the application from. If you want to stay longer than this, the best option is to apply for a student visa (these will only be granted if you’re admitted to a recognised institution).

We hope that this guide has answered some of your most pressing questions about yoga tours to Rishikesh – if you still have questions, however, do not hesitate to ask them. After all, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for many people so you want to ensure that you have the best experience possible. We recommend getting in touch with your guide or the ashram you’re staying at.
