Daily Rhythm
Burnout Recovery Retreat in the Himalayas
Friday — Arrival & Welcome Travel from Delhi (6–7 hrs) or Dehradun (3 hrs) and arrive in Chakrata by evening. After settling into the accommodation — comfortable mountain stays surrounded by forest — the group gathers for a welcome dinner of pahadi food and easy introductions. The evening closes with a bonfire under the stars. No agenda, no icebreakers — just warmth and the sound of the forest. Saturday — Nature & Exploration The day begins with an unhurried morning. After breakfast, the group visits Tiger Falls — the walk through forest, the waterfall itself, and time spent simply sitting by the water. Late morning or early afternoon brings a village walk through Jaunsaari settlements. The evening includes a sunset viewpoint visit (Chilmiri Neck or similar) followed by dinner and bonfire. This is the day most participants feel the shift — the mental noise begins to quiet. Sunday — Sunrise & Departure The final day begins with an optional sunrise viewpoint visit (Moila Top). After breakfast, the group explores another scenic location — Budher Caves or a forest trail — before beginning the return journey. Participants reach Delhi or Dehradun by evening. Most report that the return drive feels different — quieter inside, clearer, less urgent.
Yoga Retreats & Movement
The Yoga & Movement service describes asana, pranayama, meditation, and restorative practice as possible elements. No fixed daily schedule, session time, meal plan, accommodation, or location-specific venue is published here. The details are confirmed for an actual departure or demand-led enquiry.
