Summary

I’d like to introduce you to “my” India, where ancient wisdom, spirituality, and pure joy of life fill the air!
From the desert to the Himalayas—we’ll explore sacred sites, temples, and energy centers, as well as the cultural treasures of Rajasthan and the Himalayas.
Two fascinating stops await: Pushkar in colorful Rajasthan and Rishikesh in the majestic Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

There, we’ll chant mantras, practice yoga, and immerse ourselves in meditation.
And Jaipur is also on the Adventure Express itinerary! Throughout the
entire trip, we’ll treat ourselves to Indian vegetarian delicacies.

WHAT CAN YOU LOOK FORWARD TO ON THIS TRIP?

Two fascinating stops await: Pushkar in colorful Rajasthan and Rishikesh in the majestic Himalayas of Uttarakhand.

First stop/4 nights: PUSHKAR/RAJASTHAN
Pushkar is an ancient, sacred city built around a lake. There are more than 500 temples surrounding the lake. For Hindus, the lake is as sacred as a temple, where one can wash away bad karma. And here stands the world’s only Brahma temple! For me, Pushkar is a place of manifestation. If you walk its circles with a firm wish, it may come true.

Second stop/2 nights: JAIPUR/RAJASTHAN
Imagine a city where every street tells a story, where palaces echo the splendor of a bygone era, and where vibrant colors paint a living canvas. Welcome to Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, also affectionately known as the “Pink City.”

Third stop/5 nights: Rishikesh/Uttarakhand
Rishikesh lies on the sacred Ganges at the southern foothills of the Himalayas. Known as the “Yoga Capital,” this pilgrimage site offers a wealth of temples and meditation centers visited by Europeans and Indians alike in search of inner peace. And the numerous ashrams are the icing on the cake!

Everyone can join the suggested program or go their own way, except for the trips from one place

Catering

Sure 🙂 Here is a version of your text with grammatical corrections and slightly smoother phrasing, though the content remains unchanged:

---

At every location, there is an opportunity to eat vegetarian meals twice a day. Some of the meals are prepared specifically for our group using Ayurvedic cooking methods.
India offers a wide selection of delicious vegetarian dishes. Some meals are prepared especially for us. The food is “sattvik,” meaning it is very easy to digest, not spicy, and particularly well-suited for meditation. Even people with sensitive stomachs generally tolerate this food very well. There is also often the option to choose European dishes.

We will primarily eat at our accommodations or at recommended restaurants to avoid unpleasant surprises.
On excursions, we will be provided with a packed lunch.

Since this is a consciousness-expanding journey, we will abstain from all mind-altering substances such as alcohol, drugs, etc.

Arrival

Book a flight to Delhi. I’ll then send a taxi to the airport to take you directly to the hotel in Pushkar. The taxi ride takes about 7 hours. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have in choosing your travel dates. Unless you’re flexible with your schedule, in which case you can book a day earlier or later on your own.
The itinerary starts on November 17 and ends on November 28.

Per person:
Tour guide and organization: €520
Accommodation: €230 to €395 (double or single room)
Transportation by taxi: approx. €200
Meals: €250
Excursions, guides: €230
Total: €1,430 to €1,595

This is a recommended price. You will pay for everything yourself on site.

The organizational fee must be paid by September 15, 2026, at the latest. These great prices are the result of my
long-standing contacts. I know most of the accommodations personally or have had them
recommended by friends.

You can count on these prices. There may be changes on-site, over which I have no control
