Seeking a spiritual refuge? An ashram stay in Rishikesh is more than just accommodation; it's a journey inward. While traditional ashrams offer a strict, austere environment, many modern seekers are looking for a balance of discipline and comfort.
The Traditional Ashram Experience
Rishikesh is home to legendary ashrams like Parmarth Niketan and Sivananda Ashram. Here, life revolves around:
- Early morning wake-up calls (4:00 AM)
- Strict vegetarian diet
- Karma Yoga (selfless service)
- Evening Ganga Aarti
