Jogi welcoming us in New Delhi
At Enlightened Tours, we know that traveling to India for the first time may take you out of your comfort zone. We believe that travel is essential to know oneself and see the interconnectedness of all things. We also want to make traveling to India as comfortable and joyful as possible!
It starts with personally greeting you with our on-the-ground Enlightened Tours ambassador in Delhi – Jogi 💖✨
From the moment your feet touch Indian soil, you will feel welcomed and cared for; watched over and gently guided. You will still have plenty of freedom and time for solo adventures!
Join us this November for Enlightened India, a 2 week adventure filled with many once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Another word to describe Enlightened India 2019?
 
Loving – Julia and I are holding a loving container for our group.  From the moment your feet touch Indian soil, you will be warmly welcomed and lovingly held.   From the gentle morning meditation to the good night golden milk, each day has been thoughtfully planned so that you will have the best possible experience.  
We have planned activities, ceremonies and group time that will have you interacting with others in a beautiful way, and give you time to go within and get to know yourself in new ways.
 
India has a beautiful way of stripping away who we think we are and reminding ourselves what is actually at our core. Julia and I hold the intention that you will re-member aspects of yourself.  There will be a special ceremony held for reflection and appreciation for each group member.  It is beautiful how 20 strangers come together and leave India having made connections that will last a lifetime.

Is perfection in a 2-week trip to India achievable?  Well, I’d say that my recent trip to India with Enlightened Tours may have approached that goal.  Roxanna and Julia have put together an exceptional team in the US and India that made a first trip to India stress free, always engaging, flexible and very smoothly executed.  Through great planning and constant vigilance, they blended the right amount of cultural sightseeing and Indian experiences, with deeply spiritual opportunities and free time for solo exploration.  They established group cohesion that promoted the opportunity for personal connections which will clearly last a lifetime.  Their expertise and compassion created a vessel that held an experience of India which was life changing.  Was it India?  Or, was it Enlightened Tours?  The obvious answer is “Both!” .   – Joe Romson MD, PhD

Spacious

How to describe Enlightened India 2019?

 
This isn’t your typical “group” tour; rolling up to sacred sites in a giant bus, and hustling on to the next destination to get the obligatory photo.
One word to describe our trip is Spacious.  It’s 10 days of exploration:  of a culture, of a city and of oneself.  Each day there is free time built in for deeper diving;  an invitation to drop-in and spend time with yourself and others.

We purposely spend our entire time in one location so that you can experience life in India, in this very special place, and begin to unwind and slow down.

Meditate each morning as the wind comes down from the Himalayas, sweeping the day clean.

Discover your favorite cafe and sip tea and watch the Ganges undulate in the sun.  Walk along ancient forested paths amidst hundreds of butterflies.  Journal by a waterfall.  Kiss your favorite cow!

Be present.  So far away from everything familiar. Listen to the air, filled with prayer bells from all the ashrams dotting the river.  Discover yourself.

Roxanna & Julia are truly incredible women and leaders.  I enjoyed India but more importantly, I felt the love, support and freedom to be completely vulnerable and to learn what I was here to learn about myself.  I am going home a changed woman and I see the world through new eyes.  Thank you.  Deb O.

The Beatles Ashram

One of the places we explore in Rishikesh is the ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Transcendental Meditation (TM), and the place where the Beatles came to meditate in the late 60’s.

The place is a magical, mystical experience!  You can feel the energy and spirit of the once bustling ashram and its devotees.  There are meditation huts dotting the land, including the famous hut #9, that can be traced back to John Lennon’s voice on the White Album repeating the phrase: “number 9, number 9”.

As you walk along the paths, filled with hundreds of butterflies of all shapes and colors, you can imagine hearing mantra being chanted in the now defunct meditation hall, or hear some bird sound that George Harrison may have heard.

With an incredible view of the Ganges river, the ashram sits atop a bluff, steeped in an atmosphere of peace and stillness.   It’s a wonderful place to explore and lose yourself in the past as well as find yourself in the present.

Truly a favorite outing of our group!
