The Annual Bhakti Yoga and Vedic Rituals Retreat to the Himalayas

Upcoming Yoga Retreat - October 2025

The 14th Annual Vedic Rituals and Bhakti Yoga Retreat to the Himalayas

Himalayas Pilgram WITH Local Himalayanmonk Yogi

It’s happening again!

For the past 13 years, yogis from several countries such as America, Russia, Australia and various European countries have traveled with Panditji Babaji to his homeland, the Himalayas. Set in October , as the Himalayas is known for its golden sunsets and crispy Autumn nights at this time. Always a remarkably picturesque and peaceful experience.

The uniqueness of these retreats is that you get to visit sacred places, to enter areas only made possible by local tribes, be introduced to real Sadhus and Babas living in there caves, participate in a yagya (fire ritual), and take dips in sacred rivers that are said to purify the body from karmic bonds.

A retreat not led by a tour guide, but a Himalayan monk who will share the ancient history of Vedic culture with you along the journey. A local who understands the tribes and the ways of the Himalayas.

Each retreat is memorable in its unique way, and always a new experience. For this reason many have traveled with him over and over again.

The 14th Annual Vedic Rituals and Bhakti Yoga Retreat to the Himalayas 2025

Journey with me, on my annual retreat into the Himalayas. Visit sacred places and enter into areas only made possible through local tribes. You will be introduced to real babas and sadhus living in caves, be involved in fire rituals (yagyas), dip into sacred rivers that purify our karmas, and attain inner peace and tranquility through daily yogic practices.

The highlight of this journey includes a visit to the holy pilgrimage site of Kedarnath. Where the Pandavas did penance to please Lord Shiva after the epic Mahabarata war. The temple was built thousands of years ago, and within the temple are symbols engraved. The temple holds a strong vibrational energy of protection and liberation. During the 2013 floods, Kedarnath was swept away, yet the mystical powers of the Kedarnath Temple kept it unaffected to much amazement. Keddarnath Temple is one of the four holiest pilgrimage sites in the Himalayas mentioned in the Vedas.

The ancient knowledge of the Vedas originated from Veda Vyasa cave in Badrinath, and you will have the opportunity to meditate within in this very cave. Take baths in the five mystical rivers (Vishnu prayag, Nanda prayag, Karan prayag, Rudra prayag, and Deva prayag), and cleanse away karmic energy that does not serve your higher purpose. These 5 mystical rivers join to form the Holy Mother Ganga river.

We are also fortunate to share Diwali together on our final day, the festival of lights. The day where we honour the light overcoming darkness. We will celebrate by the Ganges in Rishikesh.

Wake up to a picturesque mountain scene everyday, and make soul connections that will last life times.

Awaken your life purpose, connect with the inner self, and purify to a higher state of awareness and energy.
