Overview

This 9 nights, 10 days High Altitude Yoga & Wellness Retreat in Spiti Valley is designed as a complete circular Himalayan journey, where the road never repeats itself and each day opens a new landscape. Beginning from Chandigarh, the journey moves gradually through Shimla and the serene Kinnaur Valley, entering the stark and powerful terrain of Spiti Valley. Along the way, we explore ancient spaces like Nako and Tabo, visit some of the highest inhabited villages in the world including Kibber, and witness the raw beauty of high-altitude Himalayan life.

 

Daily yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound practices are gently adapted for altitude, supporting the body and nervous system as the journey unfolds through Losar and the pristine waters of Chandratal, before descending via Manali to complete the circle. Curated as wellness during travel, this retreat blends conscious movement, sacred landscapes, and inner inquiry, held spiritually by Anandmaya Rishikesh and seamlessly managed by Incredible Outdoors - a journey that moves outward through the Himalayas and inward toward clarity and stillness.

The Living Classroom

Their philosophy that ""Himalayas become a living classroom"" is exactly right. Every location taught something. Shimla taught transition. Kalpa taught slowing down. Nako taught breath awareness. Tabo taught stillness. Dhankar taught letting go. Kaza taught humility through the highest villages. Kunzum taught achievement. Chandrataal taught surrender and awe. Manali taught re-entry. Daily yoga, breathwork, meditation weren't separate from travel - they were integrated into it. Wellness in motion is an accurate description. The team understood this concept deeply. Food nourished the journey. Rooms rested the body. Practices transformed the mind. Can't recommend this enough for anyone seeking more than tourism. This is pilgrimage disguised as retreat.

Ajanta of the Himalayas Lives Up

As an art history professor I was skeptical about the ""Ajanta of the Himalayas"" claim for Tabo Monastery. I was wrong to doubt. That 996 AD monastery is extraordinary. The guided contemplation inside the complex was moving. Ancient murals, manuscripts, the energy of centuries of practice - it's all there. The silent meditation felt natural. The entire day 4 focus on ""inner discipline & stillness"" was perfectly themed. After that, Key Monastery's 11th century beauty felt like a continuation. Dhankar's dramatic location added another dimension. These ancient spaces combined with daily yoga practice created powerful synergy. The modern astrology sessions contrasted beautifully with ancient monastery wisdom. Best cultural and spiritual combination I've experienced.

Integration at Key Monastery

Day 7 was titled ""Integration Day"" and it was perfectly placed in the itinerary. After days of intense experiences, morning yoga overlooking Spiti River at Key Monastery gave space to integrate teachings. The breathwork session for clarity and awareness helped process everything. Free time for journaling by the river was therapeutic. That 11th century monastery energy supported the integration work. Everything from Shimla's transition to Chandrataal's surrender started making sense. The circular route design means you're constantly accumulating experiences that need integration. This day provided that. Then Kunzum Pass crossing and Chandrataal felt like graduation. Descending to Manali and closing circle completed the cycle. Brilliant retreat structure.

Better Than I Expected

Booked this on a whim after seeing pictures of Spiti Valley. Expected beautiful views, didn't expect internal transformation. The daily yoga adapted for altitude was challenging but doable. Pranayama sessions really worked - I learned breathing techniques I still use daily. Tabo Monastery visit was a highlight, that place has seen centuries of seekers. Kaza's days were packed - Langza's Buddha, Hikkim's post office, Komic's height - but never rushed. I had time to sit and absorb. Chandrataal exceeded expectations, those pristine waters and surrounding peaks felt sacred. The team from Incredible Outdoors worked seamlessly. Food was homely, rooms were adequate. Go with open heart, the mountains do the rest.

First Time in India, Changed My Life

This was my first trip to India and what an introduction. The variety of landscapes from Chandigarh to Chandrataal was incredible. Shimla's colonial charm, Kalpa's mountain majesty, Nako's lake serenity, Tabo's ancient walls, Kaza's high-altitude life. Each day brought something new. Yoga sessions kept me grounded through all the changes. The astrology sessions about mind-body balance at altitude actually helped me understand my reactions to the journey. Visiting Komic village and seeing life at that height was eye-opening. Hikkim post office was touristy but fun. Chandrataal was where I cried - the beauty just overwhelmed me. Incredible Outdoors handled logistics perfectly, I never worried about anything.
