Spiritual Tours What are Spiritual Tours? Spiritual Tours are a combination of learning meditation and experiencing India. Our tours are personalized and we try and make sure people learn something new about 'Themselves' every day. People on our tours don't take away memories, but experiences which sometimes define their being. We take our tour members to some of the most serene and spiritually rich places on the face of planet earth and teach them how to Meditate. Each day will involve 1-2 hours of Meditation, Tantra or Yoga lessons and our personal favorite - 1 hour of Ayurvedic Massage daily as a part of the tour. There will be small trips to the nearby places of interest however most of the time will be spend relaxing, All our tours are conducted in the Himalayan belt. We do customized tours as well as some of the people want to see the Taj Mahal before they go anywhere else. However most of your time will be spent in the vicinity of the Himalayas. Why the Himalayas? We believe more people have gained enlightenment meditating there and from our personal experience, these mountains really do have that Aura about them that make you wonder….
