For everyone who hears the call.
Satvik Trails was founded on a simple conviction: sacred travel in India has been done badly for too long. Either too expensive and detached, or too cheap and untrustworthy. We are building the third path: honest, organised, transparent, reverent.
Every helicopter operator, priest and wellness centre on our platform we have visited in person, vetted and signed an agreement with. When you travel with Satvik Trails, you carry the founder's number with you.

Before you book.
Can international travellers from the USA, Canada or UAE book with Satvik Trails?
Yes. We plan yatras and yoga, meditation and Ayurveda retreats for travellers from the USA, Canada, the UAE, the UK, Australia and Singapore as well as NRI families. We guide you on the Indian e-Visa, arrange airport pickup in Delhi, Kochi, Goa or Dehradun, and keep one WhatsApp contact with you for the whole trip.
Can I pay in US dollars, Canadian dollars or dirhams?
Trips are priced in Indian Rupees, and the site shows indicative prices in USD, CAD, AED, GBP, EUR, AUD and SGD (use the globe icon at the top). International guests can pay by international wire transfer or card; your final amount is confirmed in writing before you pay.
Is India safe for a first-time or solo female traveller on a retreat?
Rishikesh, Kerala and South Goa are among the most visited retreat destinations in India. We only work with ashrams and centres we have visited in person, arrange vetted drivers and airport transfers, and stay reachable on WhatsApp throughout. Read our solo female travel guide.
When is the best time for the Char Dham Yatra and for yoga retreats?
The Char Dham shrines open from late April or May to October or November; May–June and September–October are the most comfortable. Rishikesh retreats run year-round but are best from October to April, Kerala Ayurveda is excellent in the monsoon and the cooler months, and Goa retreats run November to April. See best time for Char Dham.
Do you arrange yatras for elderly parents?
Yes. Our Sahayata service adds a trained companion, medical kit, wheelchair and accessibility logistics, plus helicopter or pony options, to any yatra.
What food is served on the journeys?
Sattvic vegetarian food is the default on yatras and at ashrams. Vegan, Jain, gluten-free and other dietary needs can be arranged when you tell us in advance.
The first step is a conversation.
Tell us a little about who you are travelling with and what calls you. We respond personally within four hours, wherever you are in the world.
