Sign up Book now only for 100$
A fully escorted journey for first-timers to India.
We travel to the Indian Himalayas, a city of McLeod Ganj - a permanent residence of His Holiness Dalai Lama. If public teachings are scheduled during our dates, we arrange attendance and translation. Spiritual depth, handled with care. Private meetings are not guaranteed and depend on His Holiness’s health, schedule, and security considerations. While this is not assured, our groups have often had a brief interaction with His Holiness.
PROGRAM
What awaits you:

Spiritual doesn’t mean boring — expect dancing, music, fun, and the kind of joy the Dalai Lama calls “medicine for the soul.”

Gentle, all-levels yoga — awaken the body, clear the mind, find your balance.

Mind–body integration — guided sessions to notice, release, and transform emotional tension (beyond just poses).

Meditation with Himalayan vistas — where silence says more than words.

The energy of Dharamsala — home of His Holiness the Dalai Lama; every breath feels meaningful.

Mountain paths, temple lights, spice markets — and unhurried evening conversations about what truly matters.

Small-group, fully escorted journey to the Indian Himalayas — designed for first-timers to India. Private transport, vetted hotels, bilingual guide with 22 years of practice, and optional attendance at public teachings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama (when scheduled). You focus on presence; we handle everything.
Himalayan trip focuses on energy, breath, and the mind. Expect calmer nerves, clearer focus, and a deeper sense of home in your own body.
ACCOMMODATION
This is a boutique accommodation, escorted, and SAFE — not a budget ashram stay. We remove the guesswork so your journey is transformative, not stressful

YOUR GUIDE
JIMMY MELNIK
yoga & dancing teacher / India expert
You’re not following a tour company — you’re traveling with someone who has already lived this route dozens of times and knows exactly how to keep you safe, comfortable, and calm in a country that can feel overwhelming without the right guide.

In my practice, I combine three powerful tools: yoga, dance, and theater.

22 years of experience; trained in Rishikesh & Mysore; years in the Himalayas; bilingual (EN/RU); personal audience history & experience attending Dalai Lama public and personal teachings; deep local network.

Certified by Yoga Alliance, alumni of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.
