Over ten unforgettable days, you’ll journey from the bustle of Delhi to the serene beauty of Kashmir, living aboard a traditional houseboat on Dal Lake. Each morning begins with meditation and yoga as the sun rises over the Himalayas. By day, glide on shikaras to floating markets and Mughal gardens, picnic by the lake, and visit sacred shrines. Enjoy cultural encounters with Kashmiri artisans, poetry, music, and henna, all woven into your retreat. With evenings of reflection, meditation, and connection, this is more than a holiday — it’s an intimate voyage of yoga, culture, and discovery, limited to just ten guests.

Step into a land long celebrated as “Paradise on Earth.” Nestled in the lap of the Himalayas, Kashmir has inspired emperors, poets, and travellers for centuries with its shimmering lakes, lush gardens, and snow-capped peaks.

For unforgettable days, you’ll call a traditional Kashmiri houseboat home — a floating haven on the tranquil Dal Lake. Each morning begins with yoga and meditation as the sun rises over the water. By day, you’ll explore Srinagar’s magical floating markets, Mughal gardens, and ancient palaces, and glide across the lake on a shikara, Kashmir’s elegant wooden gondolas. By evening, you’ll return to the stillness of the water, surrounded by mountains, stars, and silence.

This retreat blends yoga, nature, and cultural discovery at a gentle pace, designed for curious travellers who want both adventure and deep rest. Beyond the city, we’ll escape into the Himalayan foothills, where time slows and the natural world invites you to breathe, reconnect, and simply be.

With just 10 places available, this is not a retreat for the many — it’s an intimate journey for the few. Secure your space today with a £100 deposit, and join us on a once-in-a-lifetime voyage to Kashmir — the Switzerland of Asia, and a true jewel of the Himalayas.
