11 days of spiritual Journey
Delhi / Kainchi Dham / Rishikesh
November 7-17th 2026.
Join us on this sacred journey through the foothills of the Himalayas, as we follow in the spirit of Ram Dass, Neem Karoli Baba, and the many great saints of India.
This journey will be filled with spiritual practice in the forms of Meditation, Mantra/chanting kirtan, yoga/breathwork and visiting many temples and holy sites in the regions we will be in.
The first two nights we will spend in Delhi in satsang, sadhana meeting one another and visiting the Neem Karoli Baba temples in Delhi, to get his grace and blessings for the journey.
Then we will venture to the Kumoan Hills, known as the land of the Gods, which is a gorgeous area in the foothills of the Himalayas where many great saints have been for untold milenia. In more recent times Sombari Maharaj, Bramacharya Bama and Harikhan Baba roamed these lands.
Then came Neem Karoli Baba who had built the many temples we will be visiting at Kainchi Dham, Kakrighat, Bhumiadar, Bhimtal and Hanumanghar.
We will also visit Padampuri, the central ashram of Sombari Maharaj. Swami Vivekananda also ventured in these lands and we will visit the temple area where he entered into a samahdi.
We will finish our retreat spending four nights on Rishikesh visiting Ashrams, attending Ganga Aarati’s, bathing in the sacred ganga, meditating in a couple of very sacred caves including one that legend says Jesus Christ himself sat it and visiting the Anandamayi Ma Ashram In Haridwar.
- Our travel Guide Pintu is my dear friend and a great devotee of Hanuman and Neem Karoli Baba. Him and his team assure everyone is taken care of to the highest degree. Pintu is an incredible example of love, selfless service and devotion.
- My dear friend Tekka from Hong Kong will be hosting the kirtans on this retreat! We have travelled together in India many times and she carries a great spirit of love, joy, devotion and is a very ancient soul who sings beautifully to God and will take us all into the heart of love.
- I will be offering Kundalini Yoga practice with asana, breathwork, mantra and meditation, as well as group japa, and satsangs where we will discuss spiritual texts and teachings together.
- We will also have reiki sessions and astrology chart readings offered on the retreat which is the only thing that will be a seperate cost and done on an individual basis (reiki can be booked in advance or on retreat, while astrology chart readings will need to be set up in advance).
4 nights Varanasi Experience
Delhi / Varanasi
November 18th-22nd 2026.
When our Yatra ends in Delhi on the 17th those who choose to continue on for the second part of the yatra will fly on the morning of the 18th to Varanasi on a short flight.
- We may also visit temples such as the Ananadamaya Ma and Lahiri Mahasaya (From Yogananda’s Lineage) while in Kashi.
Varanasi is known in the ancient scriptures as Kashi, and is one of the abodes of Lord Shiva and also associated with the fierce energy of Kali.
Historically it is said people have been coming here for many thousands of years to be cremated on the banks of the Ganga so that Shiva can whisper Ram’s name into their ears and liberate their souls.
In reality, though, Kashi is mentioned even in scriptures dating back to past Yugas (ages), and thus has been a sacred site for hundreds of thousands and millions of years.
While in Kashi we will visit and meditate at the sacred cremation grounds, and take in this powerful and intense energy while sitting with the contemplation of life, death, the divine mother and the cyclic nature of existence.
We will attend evening aarti’s while on a boat on the sacred Ganga River with thousands of others, as they have been performed since ancient times. While in Kash,i we will visit a very sacred Hanuman Temple, The Tulsi Das ashram where Tulsi Das wrote Hanuman Chalisa, Hanuman Bahuk and parts of the Ramcharitmanasa, while on the banks of the Ganga.
It’s a very sacred place, you can see where he sat, prayed, cried out to Ram and Hanumanji, and even his sandals are still there.
We’ll be going to the very sacred Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple where there is very high energy and incredible kirtans/bhajans are sung!
We may also visit temples such as the Ananadamaya Ma and Lahiri Mahasaya (From Yogananda’s Lineage) while in Kashi.
- At our hotel overlooking the sacred land and Ganga we will do kirtan, spiritual readings and a powerful fire ceremony.
These are just some of the things we will experience while in this sacred land but ultimately it cannot be described in words, and will be in the hands of Shiva, Maharaji and the Divine Mother, as too what beautiful leela’s transpire.
- Also: On the first part of this yatra we will have my dear friend Rachel offering Reiki and Astrology readings at a seperate cost. She will provide more information about this closer to the retreat time!
“Alex has a very sweet and sincere connection to the Indian saints and their stories and carries this unique presence effortlessly, with grace, in the places we visited together in India and the US”
"My experience in India with Alex and Pintu was a mixture of powerful spirituality and beauty.
Both the Ashrams and mountains were breathtaking."
"My trip to India with Alex was 5 star ( out of 5!) He took extraordinary care of us from the beginning of booking until the end. Alex was very flexible with our group , allowing us to freedom to choose our experience while offering a vast amount of knowledge of the culture and places to see. The Indian guides he chose were the best . A very loving and caring soul to journey to India with!"
"I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend a spiritual retreat in India, and it was truly a life-changing experience. The retreat was exceptionally well-organized by Alex, whose attention to detail and commitment to creating a transformative environment made the entire journey seamless and enriching. Pintu and his team were exceptional guides, offering deep wisdom, compassion, and support throughout the retreat, ensuring that each participant felt connected and uplifted. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking spiritual growth, healing, or a deeper connection to themselves. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that everyone should embark on at least once in their life!"
"2 months after returning, I am still trying to find words to explain how profound this yatra was for me. Alex with so much compassion and devotion opened the doors for all of us to breath from the heart space. I am beyond grateful for this blessed experience."
"Traveling to India with Alex was nothing short of life-changing. He is a man wise beyond his years, walking the path with such deep devotion that it spills over and touches everyone around him. His love for India and his connection to Maharaji are palpable—you don’t just see it, you feel it.
Alex leads with humility, kindness, and joy. He's not only deeply knowledgeable, but also incredibly fun to be around. Every step of the journey felt intentional and sacred, yet light and full of laughter."
"I am giving this testimonial from my heart and soul in the deepest gratitude for Alex taking me on the greatest journey of my life! I went on the January New Delhi, Varanasi and Maha Kumba Mela Yatra 2025. Alex is an absolutely wonderful guide and leader! He took care of me months before the trip and all the way through our travels... I felt so taken care of and made a new soul brother friend in Alex. He is just a beautiful person with so much love in his heart and it is contagious! I highly recommend spiritual retreats with Alex!"
