Before you are too weak or too old, you must

meet and merge with the beloved Himalayas –

this is my wish and my blessing.
-Sadhguru

The Himalayas, venerated as the land of sages and seers have been a
destination of great significance for spiritual seekers across the world.

This sojourn is an excellent opportunity to soak in the sacred energies of

these enchanting and majestic mountains as we visit some of the most
idyllic yet spiritually powerful places in the Garhwal region of the Indian
Himalayas.

Satsangs take place as the sojourn unfolds, with some of the earth’s most
incredible landscapes serving as the backdrop. Powerful meditation
processes allow one to experience higher states of consciousness and
witness firsthand the impact these spaces have on the delicate
relationship of body, mind and energy, ultimately aimed at evoking the
power of these mystical mountains and the Grace of the Guru.
Isha Sacred Walks offers this sojourn as an opportunity
to experience these sacred places in their true depth and
dimension.
Imbibing the overwhelming power, energy and grace of
these spaces opens one up to higher dimensions of life –
more so with the Grace of a realized Master.
 Itinerary
Haridwar
Upon arrival in New Delhi, we will be assigned to our buses
and the journey begins to Haridwar. Also known as the
“Gateway to the Himalayas”, it is one of the most sacred
cities in India.
Haridwar is also home to Kumbh Mela, a grand spiritual
congregation that happens only once every 12 years. It
attracts millions of spiritual seekers across India, including
the elusive sages and saints who make a special journey
down the Himalayas to bathe in the holy waters of River
Ganga.

Uttarkashi
An early morning start gets us on the road as we begin our
journey into the Himalayas. Enjoy the beautiful vistas that
unfold while driving to Uttarkashi, also known as the “Kashi
of the North”.
We will visit and meditate at the powerful,
two-thousand-year-old Kashi Vishwanath temple which is
one of the most ancient shrines in this region.

Gangotri / Uttarkashi
In the early morning, savor the serene and picturesque
landscape as we travel to Gangotri, one of the most
important pilgrimage sites in the Himalayas. According to
legends, it was here that Lord Shiva released the sacred
Ganga from his locks of hair, earning the river her alternate
name of Bhagirathi.
Enjoy a refreshing dip in the sacred river and meditate on her
rocky banks. Travel back to Uttarkashi for an overnight stay
and, if time permits, we stop at Kashi Vishwanath temple
once again for the evening Arati.
Guptkashi
Guptkashi, also known as ”Secret Kashi” is located on a ridge
of the valley surrounding Mandakini river. The town is
famous for the ancient Vishwanath temple, which is said to
have been consecrated by the legendary sage Agastya
himself and dedicated to Lord Shiva as Vishwanath – “Lord
of the Universe”.
In the same courtyard is the famous shrine dedicated to
Ardhanarishwara - the deity which is depicted as half-male
and half-female - symbolizing the unity of the masculine and
feminine within us.

Kedarnath
Trek to the ancient and powerful Kedarnath temple, which
houses one of the 12 Jyotirlingas and is known as one of the
holiest pilgrimage sites in India.
Sadhguru says, “Kedarnath is a very heady mixture of
energies. This is a place that has witnessed thousands of
yogis and mystics of every kind.”

Guptkashi
After the immensity of Kedarnath, return to Guptkashi and
the ancient Vishwanath temple for a satsang and meditation
process at the Manikarnika Kund located in front of the
temple. This is also the place where Sadhguru Sri Brahma
spent a few months in meditation along with his disciples.

Badrinath
While traveling to Badrinath, have a glimpse of some of the
Panch Prayags - the famous five confluences of two or more
rivers.
Karnaprayag marks the confluence of rivers Alaknanda and
Pindar. It is here that Karna is said to have propitiated Surya,
the Sun God, to acquire an impregnable shield for battle.
Vishnuprayag is the confluence of the rivers Alaknanda and
Dhauliganga, where Lord Vishnu appeared before sage
Narada.
 At Nandaprayag, Lord Krishna’s father Nanda, is supposed to
have conducted a great sacrifice, where rivers Alaknanda
and Nandakini come together.
Badrinath is known for its ancient Vishnu temple and its
natural hot springs. Visit the Badrinath temple, Vyasa cave,
Bheempul and Mana – “The Last Indian Village” near the
Indo-Chinese border. A satsang and meditation will follow in
the evening.

Rudraprayag
Rudraprayag is a confluence of the rivers Alaknanda and
Mandakini. It is of immense significance as according to
legend, this is where Lord Shiva appeared in the form of
Rudra to the sage Narada, who was in an intense state of
meditation.

Haridwar / Rishikesh
During the return journey, we stop at Devprayag – meaning
“holy confluence” – which marks the place where river
Alaknanda merges with Bhagirathi, giving birth to the river
Ganga.
We will participate in a spectacular evening Arati on the
banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh during sunset.

New Delhi
The journey comes to an end as we travel back with heartfelt
experiences and memories to last a lifetime.
We reach New Delhi around 6:00 PM.

 Participant Sharings
Being from overseas, I must say that I
had completely underestimated the
spiritual intelligence that lies in these
ancient stones. How could these little
temples be so powerful?
I was left speechless after an intense
journey through the mountains. It all
feels like a dream, but actually it is a
dream come true!
-Emanuela
Fantastic experience. Excellent
organization. Very caring and
personal attention to everybody and
every detail. The support I received
was very touching and I cannot thank
you enough.
I always wanted to do this yatra with
Isha and I was so pleased with my
decision. If I ever do this again, it
would definitely be with Isha.
