7 nights DHARAMSALA, HIMALAYAS

Dharamsala meaning truth place is  a very important spiritual place that is incredibly close to my heart and part of my own healing process. It is hard to explain the feeling of peace and calm that we feel in the presence of these awesome and beautiful mountains. 

We will begin our Yoga Holiday in Dharmsala, the home of the Dalai Lama where will spend 7 nights.

Highlights;

We will stay at the quaint & serene family run guest house for 7 nights (pictures). You can expect; daily Yoga (in Sign Language), homemade local cuisine, hiking trips in the surrounding areas of natural and spiritual beauty, visits to Naddi village, Dharmkot village, Bhagsu Waterfall, the Dalai Lama’s Temple, Hot Springs & more.

In October the mountains are in in full bloom, like spring in the UK, following the drenching from the monsoon rains. Flowers blossom, skies are pure blue and the air is fresh & clean. The waterfalls are abundant and the whole area is truly alive with natural beauty and peace. 

The Himalayas are a uniquely special, healing & mystical location for me and millions of others. They include the highest mountains in the world and are a remarkably spiritual & healing place.
