Join me from November 1st to 15th, 2025, for an extraordinary 15-day, 14-night expedition through North India, where spirituality and travel intertwine in a tapestry of culture, history, and profound teachings.
Discover the Wonders of North India
Our adventure begins in the bustling metropolis of Delhi, where history whispers through ancient alleys and vibrant markets. As we explore the Old City, you’ll be captivated by the rich tapestry of sights, sounds, and flavors that define this energetic hub. From the iconic Red Fort to the tranquil beauty of Jama Masjid, each location is a chapter in India’s diverse narrative.
Next, we will journey to Rishikesh, the renowned birthplace of yoga nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas. This sacred city is not just a yogic hotspot; it’s a sanctuary for spiritual seekers. Here, we’ll partake in yoga sessions by the Ganges River, engage in meditation practices, and delve into discussions about yoga’s spiritual philosophy. The serene environment will nurture your soul and deepen your understanding of the ancient teachings.
Explore the Divine Stories of Mathura and Vrindavan
Our expedition continues to Mathura and Vrindavan, two cities steeped in the enchanting tales of Lord Krishna. If you know the story of Krishna, you’ll understand the significance of these places. Wander through the charming lanes of Vrindavan, where devotion fills the air, and engage with the local culture. We’ll visit sacred temples and partake in traditional rituals, immersing ourselves in the devotional spirit that permeates this region.
Marvel at the Iconic Taj Mahal
No trip to India is complete without witnessing the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal in Agra. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a testament to love and artistry, with its stunning white marble façade reflecting the brilliance of Mughal architecture. As we explore this magnificent monument, we’ll also visit other historical sites, enriching our understanding of India’s rich heritage.
Experience the Royalty of Jaipur
Our final stop will be the vibrant city of Jaipur, known as the Pink City. Here, we’ll marvel at the intricate designs of the Hawa Mahal, explore the majestic Amber Fort, and indulge in shopping at the famous Indian bazaars. The colorful markets offer a treasure trove of handicrafts, textiles, and spices, allowing you to take a piece of India home with you.

A Special Thanks
I am so deeply grateful for Chitra Sukhu and the transformational travels she is providing for us. Her work is helping uplift all of us out of Maya and beyond, remembering who we really are. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to heal and grow spiritually, mentally and physically.Â
Thank you again for the Ayruveda Retreat this October 2024. It has been a very comforting and peaceful experience. I feel natural joy. I feel at peace and relaxed. I can't thank you enough for providing a wonderful experience.
Monika Fink
My trip to India with Chitra to the beautiful Ayurveda Resort exceeded my expectations. The outstanding Ayurvedic treatments, the excellent food, the great excursions to sights in Kerela and the small, family-like group of 7 participants made the trip unforgettable. However, the presence and wise conversations with Chitra, both in the group and one by one, are unsurpassed. Chitra does not teach wisdom that you get in books or give advice on what you should or should not do. Rather, she knows how to let each individual recognize what they are looking for through attentive listening, clever questions and full presence. Chitra gives me great security that I am doing the right thing and that I have correctly recognized the things that are important to me. I thank her from the bottom of my heart for that.
