🔻There are journeys you plan… and then there are journeys that call you. For me, this pilgrimage has been in the making in my heart for 5 years.

🔻Maa Durga - my Ishta Devta has guided me through some of the deepest transformations of my life. And it feels like everything has been leading to this moment.

🔻At 18, I traveled on my first trip ever with my college friends to Rishikesh. I didn’t fully understand why I was drawn there… but something in me knew. Some places don’t just exist on a map… they live in your soul. And Rishikesh is one of those places.

🔻Since then, the sacred land and the river Ganga have called me back seven times (the only city in the world where I have been called back so many times)

Each time, I left changed.

Each time, I remembered a deeper part of myself.

Each time, the connection grew stronger.

🔻There is something ancient, mystical, and deeply alive in that land, especially during Navratri… the sacred 9 nights of the Goddess.

This is not a retreat.

It is a pilgrimage.

🔻A journey into the heart of the Himalayas…
to sacred Shakti temples, hidden Siddha spaces, and ancient caves which are deep portals of transformation.

A space to pray, to release, to awaken.

To sit by the Ganga, to chant, to feel, to remember. 

🔻This pilgrimage is for those who feel the call (all genders): to walk a path of devotion,
to reconnect with the Divine Feminine, to awaken their inner Shakti.

🔻If something in your heart stirs reading this…you already know.

Held during the sacred festival of Navratri, the nine nights of the Goddess Durga, Sacred Shakti - a guided pilgrimage, we invite you into a powerful spiritual journey in the Himalayas based in Rishikesh. During this auspicious time when the Divine Feminine is especially honored, you will immerse yourself in daily yoga, meditation, and Shakti practices while visiting revered temples such as Kunjapuri Devi Temple, Chandi Devi and Shakti Peeth in Dhanaulti - Surkanda Devi Temple.
