An Ashram retreat is the ideal solution for deep introspection and total disconnection. Stays in Ashram are punctuated by Yoga classes (generally in the morning) and meditation (generally twice a day) as well as meal or tea breaks and meditative group walks. It is important to take into consideration that this type of stay requires strong mental skills and does not offer the comfort and freedom of other programs. But the benefits in personal development are very often beyond initial expectations.

Meditation: usually 1h in the moirning and 1h in the Afternoon

According to our Travelers
Located in Amer, north of Jaipur, just a few miles from the Jal Mahal and the Pink City Historic District, the Elephant Care Center usually leaves great memoryies to travelers. It offers the opportunity to approach these majestic animals and help the staff in the care provided. While wildlife in India is ubiquitous, animals are sometimes exploited for tourism activities. This is not the case in this center where they are treated with the greatest care.
If the Taj Mahal is one of the 7 wonders of the world it is not overused. Travelers are all struck by the timeless charm of this perfectly symmetrical marble structure. it is so represented and photographed that the effect of surprise should be nonexistent, but you really have to see it with your own eyes to feel the thrill of that previous travelers felt.
If the monkey temple is part of the list it is because it allows to dive in the heart of the Rajasthani's culture by being immersed in the venerated fauna but also in offering a whole panorama of the pink city. To do preferably in the morning or evening to enjoy the sunrise or the sunset. However, be ware that Galta Gate and its surroundings are not famous for their cleanliness.
If they have the opportunity to roam the great sandy plains with dromedaries, then travelers very often classify their "Camel Safaris" in the most immersive experiences. Rajasthan is partly composed of desert areas (especially in the West) and being able to approach a small village in these areas is completely exotic. This is not the most relaxing activity! If you are doing a Camel Safari in the middle of the summer, avoid the end of the morning or the afternoons.
Here is an activity recommended by all travelers who had the heart enough hooked to embark through the majestic Mehrangarh Fort ten meters above ground level. Ziplining in such an incredible place is an opportunity not to be missed under any circumstances, even for travelers with vertigo. After so much emotion, take the time to contemplate the sunset over the blue city from the ramparts, guaranteed wonder!
The lush vegetation and spiritual atmosphere of the Himalayan regions are undoubtedly the other strong point of the region for travelers. The atmosphere is incredibly rejuvenating and the activities are numerous. Hiking to enjoy the panorama, yoga and meditation to recharge batteries, rafting and paragliding for thrills lovers, all travelers have found their happiness.
Pushkar is a pilgrimage destination for millions of Hindus. It is therefore not surprising that the path to the sacred lake is dotted with temples. But it is also a very touristic city considering its proximity with Jaipur and Delhi, and the shops are as abundant as the religious buildings. It is also possible to perform a Camel Safari in the Ajmer desert that surrounds the city.
The best part for the end ? If we believe a good part of our travelers it is indeed the case. The visit of Udaipur and especially that of Pichola Lake is a relaxing and visually rich experience. The atmosphere is indeed very calm and people extremely hospitable. The many lakes in the city and the white walls create an incredible brightness that magnifies the unique architecture of the city.
The best period regarding weather extends from September to March. The best period regarding the price of hotels is the "low" season, from April to August.
If you have enough flexibility try to be present in India during the two big local festivals: Diwali (end of October / beginning of November) and Holi (usually beginning of March) to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
For a short stay (about a week), target for example 2 or 3 days in Jaipur, 1 day in Taj Mahal, 2 days in Udaipur and 1 or 2 days in Jodphur.
For a longer stay (two weeks or more), take the opportunity to fully explore Rajasthan through activities and workshops to probe the traditional local culture, or target the main cities of Rajasthan (Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodphur ) as well as the Taj Mahal and spend 5 days to a week in the calm of the Himalayas.
It is tempting to plan to visit one city a day. To fully enjoy your stay, take the time to discover the main cities and their atmospheres by staying a few days. This alleviates fatigue related to travel, cultural shock and possible health concerns.
We never get bored in India, there is always something going on, and it is important to take this aspect into account to better apprehend the Indian experience. There will be unforeseen events, your patience will be put to a test and some aspects of Indian culture (especially the differences between social categories) are sometimes hard to accept for westerners. But the cultural challenge is well worth the counterweight of human and touristic experiences. The price/value ratio is also a big asset of India.
