Spiritual Adventure 2017 – Rishikesh ( Hrushikesh )
If your last year was as tough as your Facebook wall says, and you have been through the roller coaster ride of emotions as your WhatsApp status implies, then now is the time to break the ice.
Recharge yourself in Rishikesh with iTraveLov in association with Travel with Ash . Rishikesh is a small, serene town that is in the northern state of Uttarakhand in India. It’s known as a World Capital of Yoga as well as Gateway of Himalayas.
When I first went to Rishikesh couple of years ago I had everything in life but at the same time I was empty within. That space was felt but not visible. It started with Morning Yoga at the Ganges that made me realize that it’s not a physical activity, it’s a stretching of my hope and faith. “MOOJI’s” practical approach towards the war of heart and mind gave me the weapons I needed to win this battle. When I dipped my feet into the cold water of “Ganga”, it took all my agony and anxiety away. When my raft came out through the toughest rapids that was the point I realized the internal strength of my soul and when I sat down at the “Vashisht Cave” I realized what peace sounds like.
This March I am ready to take you down to the same journey that will change the way you look at life and the way life looks back at you with iTraveLov in association with Travel with Ash.
