Travel to Rishikesh is either a short 1.5 hour plane ride or 7 – 8 hours by bus or 5-6 hours by train. We work with a trusted tour company called India Highlights and we can arrange hotels and support for travel. As well as private car for sightseeing in Delhi. Prices are reasonable and we trust our friend Khem Singh ( owner of India Highlights) a 108%.\nDeparture – The Yatra will end the night of the 21st with early departure on the morning of the 22nd. You can fly out of Mumbai airport ( BOM) or continue your journey in India. We can help you arrange an extended stay. \nInternational Travel\nFlights to India are quite cheap right now. Fares are available under $500 and some on really good carriers such as Turkish \, Delta\, Etihad and others that are under $800  from LAX. Please arrive in New Delhi and leave from Mumbai unless you are making other plans. \nDomestic Flight\nYou will need 2 or 3 domestic flights depending on where your departure home is. Each leg is approx $50 or less in many cases.\n1) New Delhi to Rishikesh by march 7th. *\n2) New Delhi to Mumbai on the 18th. ( Please email us for the group flight info).\n3) If your return international flight is from New Delhi\, you will need to return to Delhi. This is sometimes cheaper. If you are flying out of Mumbai\, you will not need a 3rd domestic flight. \nPassport and Visa\nYou will need a valid passport and India Visa. India has made easy to get an electronic visa it takes a about 3 days to a week and is very easy to obtain.  However it is only good for 30 days and one entry\, which for one visit to india is plenty. If you need more than that\, then get a 6 month or longer visa\, those take a little more time. You can do it yourself of if you want to make it easier on yourself\, find a reputable passport / visa service and they will take care of it for you with ease. We recommend Ambassador Passport + Visa in Los Angeles\, we have worked with them many times over the years and they always come through and are very reasonable in price. \nAccommodation + Food\nWe will stay in clean\, comfortable nice accommodations and eat clean\, healthy delicious vegetarian food.\nWe do not recommend street food or any water except bottled water. We recommend to being to strengthen your immune system before you go\, good sleep\, vitamins (B\,C\,D)\, pro-biotics and an herbal para-cleanse ( banyan botanicals) are all great immune boosters. \nWe will provide a detailed Welcome + Information letter upon sign up. \n  \n \nParadox + Intensity\nLife is always a paradox and certainly India is one of the most paradoxical places on earth\, full of beauty\, power\, contrast and sometimes dirty\, chaotic + challenging. India is like no other place on earth. A yatra or pilgrimage provides many experiences\, the majority of them will be enjoyable\, expansive and inspiring and in some moments you may be challenged. This is when we practice our Yoga and breathe and smile together. India’s magic is in her paradox\, the people and well over 5\,000 years of spiritual practice. She will blow your mind\, open your heart and remind you that your soul and the soul of life itself are ONE. I have been to India about 15 times and other than the flu i got one on the way home and a cold i have never gotten sick in india ( knock on wood). There is lots of cheap high quality ayurvedic medicine and treatments available. We wil send out how to prepare and what to bring email to all participants. Jai Ganga MA ! \n( Rudraprayag where the ganga river  begins) \n    \n                      The Taj !                                                     One of groups in Hardiwar                               Sacred dip at the Ganga ! \n      with Sadhu MAHARAJ                           w/ Krishna Das + Sridhar in Mumbai                     Kedarnath !                      Making friends in the Kumbh Mela
