Included excursions
Himalayan sightseeing tour
Mira Yogashala will take you to the Kunjapuri temple (check our photos). This temple holds an amazing story of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati and is a holy place for many people. If you like Hinduism this is definitely a place to experience but if not, just the view of the sunrise coming through the top of the Himalayas will be enough for you
Experience the local market
There is nothing like being in India than going to the local market. Rishikesh is a very touristic place but if you walk far enough you will find the local market, with local people and local prices. This place is the best to try on some traditional clothing, find the most delicious Indian sweets, eat dosas and we promise to take you to have the BEST LASSI in whole Rishikesh
Ganga Aarti
The Ganga Aarti is a fire ceremony performed all over India at the river banks of the Ganga. A fire ceremony is definitely something to experience. People come from all over the world to pay respect to Mother Ganga and be part of this ceremony. After the ceremony people will give offerings to the river, the offerings consist mostly of flowers, it is definitely a unique experience.
Surprise!
Depending on the season there are different things to do in Rishikesh. Mira Yogashala will keep this last excursion as a surprise. You will find out when you come and join them.

Retreat location
Mira Yogashala is located in the peaceful location of Rishikesh which is enriched with divinity and spirituality. This area is amazing because you are close to nature and everything without being in the middle of all the noise and chaos. The school does not have a main road in front of it which means that during your yoga classes, you can focus without hearing the traffic. Rishikesh is an amazing holy city but it does have a high population and is always busy.
